Yes. And they discuss every single thing, except for the actual illegal act. Point fingers everywhere.

But, the actual issue is criminal behavior. Which they will never address.

Ahh yes, throw that old Chrisitan persecution card and Chrisitans who lack discernment fall for it very time.

"The insider said some relatives believe the controversy reflects long-standing warnings from patriarch Jim Bob Duggar.

'He's always said the world would be hostile to them. That following Christ means the enemy will try to attack,' they said."

Agree 100%. So many Christians confuse discernment with judgement. Without it, you’re very vulnerable to questionable theology, IMO.

The world isn’t hostile to the Duggar family because they follow Jesus, it’s their lack of accountability which is being scrutinized. Then making deflective statements about how they are being persecuted in His name. This kind of behavior is the epitome of a religious cult, IMO.

'He lives with the painful reality of how false accusations can destroy a life. He understands how the targeting of a person for publicity can twist the truth into sensationalized fiction.'

None of these are "false accusations". One is in prison for it and one admitted it.

Never let facts get in the way, though. Might lead to some reflections of what could have caused this behavior and then they'd have to actually take responsibility.

I have a feeling this is not going to be the last we hear about this family and their apparent proclivities.

MOO
