Isn't that one of the classic justifications for bullying (they bring it on themselves by being different)?Please put your dislike for the Duggars aside for a moment and take stock of the behaviors exhibited here. People routinely share "information" that is flat-out false; others read these comments then reply, condemning the Duggars, without even bothering to verify whether the information is true; people routinely nitpick and blow things out of proportion, clearly looking for reasons to criticize. When others request a less toxic atmosphere, a number of commenters gang up on them - an ironic way to argue there is no bullying.

Wether you agree with what he said or not it was a horrible thing to direct at a sixteen year old, not to mention biting the TLC hand that feeds you. If he and Jill have been cut from the show he and their fans have no one to blame but Derick. We have free speech but it comes with a price and in Dericks case it was a huge public backlash and possibly loosing his place on the show. Now he has caused more controversy by soliciting donations for his 'education', not once but twice, with even fans speaking out against him. Derick might be the one who ends up getting the show cancelled for good!

Cyber bullying ...I think some posters are confused. Cyber bullying is not someone stating an opinion that you don't like or agree with. It is undercutting someone (spitefully and contemptuously mocking and ridiculing their hair/outfit/body/manner of speech/mannerisms). It is dogging every single thing the person says or does across multiple platforms. Honestly, I woonder how some posters here make it in the real world where people often have opposing viewpoints-perhaps they walk around calling everyone a "hater" or "troll" who dares disagree with them. As my Pastor said, "We can disagree without being disrespectful.". Christians, we're commanded to love even our enemies-Jesus died for them just like He died for you. They're made in His image too. Disrespecting them or dismissing them is disrespecting Him.

At least here the admin try and keep the discussions balanced without it becoming nasty. A blog where everything is rosy all the time is unrealistic because life isn't like that, not even with the duggars. A good recent example was Derick trying to raise money to fund his church education, people were upset by it and many fans who post here were posting the same kinds of messages that non fans were.

We never spent time mulling about this mysterious thing called God's will, but rather followed what we felt deep in our hearts about adoption. We decided that becoming parents was the goal, not pregnancy and childbirth. It could have been God trying to tell us something, who knows? Sometimes we can paralyze ourselves waiting around for signs or some magical revelation, all the while possibly missing out on opportunities. You will know if adoption is right for you. Seek counseling from an adoption-competetent therapist to assist you before and after this huge adjustment. Read all you can, talk to other adoptive parents, as well as adult adoptees. You can learn a lot from their experiences.

Is that HIs purpose? Sure, the abusers make poor choices, but why let an innocent child suffer? Makes no sense. That's why I don't think God has anything to do with the details of our lives, let alone who gives birth and who does not. Our bodies can fail us in countless ways, through no fault of our own. The same is true for the entire plant and animal kingdom. We are at the mercy of time, chance, and yes-sometimes our own bad choices.
