Anyone surprised there is at least one child molester in the Duggar Religie clan?

These people make my skin crawl.

The fact that Josh Duggar was never made to pay for sexually assaulting at least 5 children is hideous

And the kicker is he runs around the country lecturing that the LGBT Community is a danger to ...wait for it...children !!!!

Montel Williams called him a 'slimebag' and 'world class bigot' in a series of angry tweets. He said that family is a scam. You go Montel

I am surprised that DU's religion defenders are not screaming about how we should respect their deeply held religious beliefs and stop mocking them.

Oh wait, no I'm not.

but never watched it. Never appealed to me. But it never occurred to me that they were a Conservative family. Had I known that I still would not have watched it, because watching Conservatives talk only makes my blood pressure go up. Besides, I am not a regular watcher of TLC, "The Learning Chanel" stopped being so a long time ago, much like the History Channel does not air much history any more, but they believe in ancient astronauts (do not even get me started on that!).

You go Montel!!

Preach to everyone else about how they are going to hell...will be the first in the line for hell. Too bad there isn't a hell.

It isn't just one asshole who is a child molester, it is also parents who hid his crimes to protect him. While accusing the rest of the world of being such horrid sinners.

Typical.

Indeed.

These things get "forgiven" fast because it happened before....with Grandpa and then the siblings before Josh was born... and Auntie when she was little.... and.....

sexual abuse went on. She partly attributed it to religious teachings about submission to authority.
