Molesting your sisters is a choice.

I believe that those of you who do not like the Duggar should just not watch the show, they're are plenty of us that like it and want to see it and don't need the critical eyes just looking for them to make a mistake so you can pounce!!!

The rules said what you could & couldn't say about the program or even the food there, when you had to get up & go to bed, what you were allowed to discuss while riding in the van, what you had to wear, what the girls were expected to bring with them for church clothes, how there would be no money & no phone calls, and so on. You can probably still find the rules if you search. They were eye-opening.

However, even being a fan of the show, I was becoming third of certain things. Josh was becoming a turnoff, even before his sins were shown. It's amazing that people of the world will embrace Bruce/Caitlyn Jenner doing th perverse sex change thing, yet they say bad things about yr family. In a way, I understand this. You are promoting a certain way of live, very strongly. So when Josh very deliberately and hypocritically lived a perverse lifestyle, people wanted to just kick him down. Even being a Christian, I do NOT believe I would have accepted him back (and that is okay, according to the Bible). But Anna and Josh should have private talks about what they both need (he may not, deep down, find pregnancy sexy, and Anna is pregnant and nursing for most of her life). So maybe they shouldn't have any more kids. <br />Being a mom myself, I know the love and forgiveness we have for our own family and children.<br />So....the purpose for this email is to say what I would love to see on the girls' show....<br />-NOT Josh, and just a little bit of Anna.<br />-NOT mom and dad (sorry, as sweet as Michelle is, she's done her time...and Jim Bob shouldn't ever say any sexual comments ('hey, hey, hey') ever again, in light of what Josh has done)<br />-the older girls doing something MORE with their lives (the comment in the interview of he older teen saying the girls love doing laundry was not good). Think of the Proverbs 31 woman...she buys land buys food from afar. Possibilities for the young ladies includes getting a job, running a food store, ordering, dealing with customers, getting best prices (and when she has children, yes, they are most important, but she could still oversee the running of it). Other possibilities...one of the young ladies should get their real estate licence or mortgage brokerage licence. We, fans watching TV, want to see their strength and dignity, but not while they do laundry and make tater tots! <br />What about one of them opening a health cafe, with a juice/smoothie bar that is only open until 4 pm. Think trendy health, getting rid of the low class tater tot image. <br />-how about in the health bar, there are lovely sewn wall hangings with lovely sayings like 'be kind to yourself" or a masculine themed one "Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves"(from the first portion of proverbs 31, addressed to the men. <br />-we don't want to see the same old corny stuff again (advice from dad re: full frontal hugs...again, in light of Josh's sins and how your parenting didn't work for him)<br />-let us see your lovely young ladies do MORE...something that people can relate to in this modern world, while still staying in tune with God.<br />-Jessa needs to learn to cook. A GREAT season would be her learning, then being so good at it that she opens th littl cafe. Be relevant in this day and age.
