@colliemom4. This may get deleted as a solicitation. I never saw the other thread so I don't know why that was deleted.

Re: Counting On--the Duggars

After the latest actions of the eldest, and reading about his previous offenses, TLC needs to take some swift actions.

As many have stated, the father rules in a cult like manner.  Men make all the decisions while women are subservient.   From everything I've read it appears the father receives all the money from everything and does it out as he sees fit.  Basically he's holding his children hostage for monetary control.  

I find the judge liable for putting the community in danger due to his release.  His predatory behavior isn't going to change.  Allowing him to visit his children shows a total disregard for their safety.

Time for TLC to cut ties and for the older children to be allowed to live their own lives.  Daddy dearest probably has more than enough money to stashed to support the younger children.  I find it very disturbing that the father preaches his views as being from the Bible when they are not.  I also find that the parents are to blame and should be held accountable for the son's prior offenses.   He was released then to Daddy, who claims he was healed.

Time to end the farce and hold people accountable.   There is a special place for those who abuse children in any manner.

My understanding was that after the first dust up around Josh that going forward Jim Bob , Josh and later the skinny husband of the first daughter to get married, would no longer make any appearances on the show.  While they haven't been featured, Jim Bob and maybe one of the others have been shown at large family events. I'll also bet that Jim Bob is getting some of the money this show makes.  Time to say "bye bye" to all of them!


Jill and her husband Derrick have alleged that they have not been paid for their appearances on the show from Jim Bob.  

 

Tells you what kind of character Jim Bob really is.  I think other siblings have said the same thing.  He's made plenty of money off of them.  He's all about control.

 

I really wish Jana would speak out.  I'm sure she's seen a lot Smiley Sad

I watched it once when it first started - it seemed very cult-like to me.  I never watched it again.

He also abused a few of his sisters when they were young and JB made them interview with Meagan Kelly on tv and say they forgave him and they were asleep when it happened.

Re: Counting On--the Duggars

Why would you punish the entire family because of one bad apple. I think that's like punishing vicitms?

What would be your reason cuz I love the Duggars and the guilty one hasn't been on the show for years.

Because I'm betting this entire family gets diddly squat from the show and it's just lining the pockets of creepy JB.

I've caught the show (counting on) on occasion - it's really not all that interesting but what I see is the couples in good marriages with good spouses (although we never know what goes on in anyones home).  

 

Their children seem happy, well fed, and clothed and seem to love each other.  We should not judge them because of their brother.


You should research the family before thinking this. They are starting to distance themselves from Jim Bob which they should but after years of brainwashing it is difficult. This house of cards is going to crumble. TLC nereds to cancel The Duggers and cut off Jim Bob's money.

I would totally understand if they distance themselves from their parents...that does not mean the adult children and their spouses are not good people...

Re: Counting On--the Duggars

I think it would be hard for some of them to distance from Jim Bob.  He control their  money.  Jessa and her dim husband depend too much on him.   Some of the others are self-supporting, and others are too young.
