Didn’t he even go “Is this about the child porn?” when the Feds showed up to his place?

His punishment the first time was to hang out with a family friend who also ended up being a pedophile.

This is what the Quiverfull church makes the victims go through when they get molested by people like Josh

Most stories about the show have these kids as sheltered as humanly possible, to the point where if they saw a woman who wasn't in a potato sack on the street the parents would yell Nike and the kids were supposed to look away or cover their eyes until the parents said it was okay to look again.

I think one of the sisters who was molested by Josh was even ostracized from the family for seeking out regular therapy about it.

From what I understand most Quiverfull are in poverty due to having a lot of kids, and it is the few at the top with all the money and power promising one day they can be just like them.

I think they also got a new TLC show at some point? It didn't have Josh, but the rest of the Duggars gradually wormed their way back in.

I remember reading an article years ago about how their money evaporates into thin air just keeping their army of a family houses and fed - they built their giant compound in the late 00's themselves from a kit and then asked volunteers from their church and the community to help finish the build when they realized they couldn't do it themselves, but it's unclear how much got spent on materials, other workers, etc. They claimed they needed the free work bc they couldn't afford to pay for folks to do all of it.

There were a few failed political runs by Jim Bob, I wonder how much money got wasted by those.

But yeah, whenever they talked about food and other necessities it’s brought up how much they had to coupon and save, while having more and more kids.

If Josh is found guilty they’ll probably tell the younger kids he lives in a nice farm upstate, if they don’t do a “the godless heathens set him up” line

Would Jim Bob let him take a plea deal?

I never watched the Duggar show, but didn't TLC also have some weird show about guys living with their mail-order brides? Maybe it was more generally about long-distance couples getting married and moving in but I think it was mostly just arranged marriages for citizenship with the creepiest, saddest fuckers.

What other horrors has TLC brought?

They were the channel that did those Child Beauty Pageant shows that were gross for a couple different reasons, which led to Honey Boo Boo getting a spinoff with her family.

Which did well, but got cancelled when the mother of Honey Boo Boo dumped her partner and started dating the pedophile who molested her daughter a decade before the show.

His dad had some power over local office and police, and even was able to use that the first time. But at this level I don’t see how you get out of it unless the President really sympathizes with you.

yeah i remember one of the duck dynasty assholes basicaly laying out his hosed up jerk off fiction about it.

That’s probably the same one who talked about how we need to drop bacon on Muslims because they’ll get so hysterical they’ll just kill themselves for some reason? They got a special Fox News segment for a bit when the show was at its height.

Also shooting them with bullets that have been rubbed with bacon causes them to go to hell outright.

well where are they :colbert:

seconding this.


also can this be "religion/christianity thread" for gbs?

this. basically American uber Christians used to be super progressive(for the times) but then in the 20s post temperance bullshit, they took a hard swerve right. also they blew up after all the segregationsists jumped on religious schooling because its the last to desegregate. hell, some still are segregated i believe.

It might have been on Behind the Bastards, but the loophole they use is the school will accept one black person, who usually leaves the year after due to racism, then they’ll accept one more the next year, and so on to avoid the legal part of it.

That insane therapy chart they have does have a healthy dose of victim blaming on a few different levels, where someone who had some awful trauma inflicted on them could easily develop some serious issues from it.

It’s always a little scary that for as bad as some of these people are, they’ll openly admit religion is keeping them from being worse in the sense of “if there’s no God why can’t I do anything I want to people?”
