Although the allegations were reported to police AFTER the statute of limitations had expired, I think people would have admired the family if they had admitted what they were struggling with and shown how they handled the violation of their daughters. Instead, they look as if they didn't talk to police until the police were alerted by Oprah Winfrey, and by then, too much time had passed. Americans have a short memory. This shows the fault of those who place others on a pedestal, then complain when they find out those idols are human after all.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6925412444274057427.post-37870332772068830102015-05-17T14:00:35.142-05:002015-05-17T14:00:35.142-05:00SOS ministries said on air that the duggars have b...SOS ministries said on air that the duggars have been so giving with their finances and time over the years and that was I believe a 2011 aired episode ONE of the times they have been to South America.

They do things up in such a huge way (i.e. Jessa's proposal) did TLC plan all that and does the staff of TLC have a hand in preparing for some of the parties they have or like the plane announcing Josh and Anna's third child. Is this all done for good TV. What does Josh and Anna get paid for their involvement in the show. I find it to be such a refreshing reality show and commend the Duggars for their lifestyle.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6925412444274057427.post-25824741932789844522014-12-06T17:04:49.637-06:002014-12-06T17:04:49.637-06:00Granted, thus far we have not seen where any of th...Granted, thus far we have not seen where any of the Dugger children have attended a four yr college. It seems unfair however to say Jim Bob doesn't think college is important. The older children have or are obtaining the necessary knowledge and skills for their chosen vocations. College isn't for everyone, nor is it necessary for every career. As for the children not always liking the decisions of the parents, if your children are always happy with your decisions they are then in essence running the household. I can't speak for you but I run my house because I'm the parent, the adult and that's my job in life just as it is Jim Bob's job to run his.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6925412444274057427.post-30370265453219209982014-11-03T23:22:12.476-06:002014-11-03T23:22:12.476-06:00you seriously want laws telling us how many childr...you seriously want laws telling us how many children we can have?? that's a slippery slope!!

With that many available children not even spending time at school they should have a large garden to literally obtain all veggies, may be some chickens and goats to teach children healthy eating. <br />I also wonder what makes Jim Bob think it is fine to go for pizza in a place where children eat free? One can understand a child or two, but what makes one to think it is proper to expect a restaurant feed that many free? I would be ashamed to do such a thing and I never received high payments from TLC.

I am loathe to criticize their Christian stand based on "bargaining techniques". Since they usually shop in thrift stores, many people actually DO bargain there, as the item may have been there awhile or the owner may have placed a "price range" on the item. <br /><br />I have a good friend who is friends with the Duggars; their daughters watch her children sometimes, and the families are well-acquainted. My friend has nothing but good things to say about the Duggars, and how hospitable, kind, generous, and caring they are to anyone they come in contact with. Sometimes I wonder what happens to those who claim they are Christians, but can't wait to criticize others who are supposed to be their sisters ad brothers in Christ, and point out their many "faults".

In fact it is found to be annoying and rude because usually the person you are trying to bargain with has no control over what you pay for the product. If the Duggar family has to bargain for something and can't pay full price for it then maybe they shouldn't be buying it. Also they may be Christians, but being a Christian doesn't make them better than anyone else nor hold them to a higher standard than anyone else. So who cares what they do with their money! The only thing I think is bad that they are so used to the money and seem to be scared of losing the source of income that they continue to have children at the risk of the mother's and child's health. At a certain point Michelle and Jim Bob knew that continuing to have children was a danger. I am also from a very large family and my parents who are only slightly older than the Michelle and Jim Bob aren't still trying to have children because they know the risks! My parents even believe in sex for procreation not recreation. That obviously means they gave up sex because they also don't believe in any form of contraceptives. I could go on and on with my disdain for this family but it falls on deaf ears so who really cares!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6925412444274057427.post-86245465634219476802012-04-25T23:16:37.890-05:002012-04-25T23:16:37.890-05:00As a christian,i know for a fact that u will probl...As a christian,i know for a fact that u will probly never c them saying or giving money in front of cameras,cuz if they go by the bible as they obviously do,it says" let not the rite hand see what the left hand doeth",in other words u arent supposed to tell people how much money u give,as its not rite to take the glory an recognition of giving money,that is between urself and GodAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
