Add a non sequitur to the ad hominen attacks. You still haven't made a point.

They’re hypocrites who hide in plain sight yet not part of a cult.
Everyone preaches values.

Hasidic Jews are the same way. They try to keep it in-house, away from the eyes of gentile authorities in government.

Everyone grows up in a mini-world of conformity.

There is no larger world. We all live in our little self-segregated enclaves.

When we become adults and can use reason we figure out if the enclave in which we were raised is good for us or if we should find some other one.

Abortion and Pornography have NOTHING to do with the Duggars. And who are you to tell anyone about their morals just because they are pro-choice and watch pornography?

You're probably one of those who think that a woman who is raped it was her fault, oh and since she's not allowed to abort the child, she has to go on welfare... but WAIT, you shouldn't support her on welfare because she's a lazy bum, right??????

In fact, I'd say pornography (and masturbation) could have helped Josh as a teen.

The fact you see women as second class citizens is disgusting.
