Nobody.

The boys are fit for manual labor or blue-collar work. The girls are fit to be stay-at-home moms. That's how their parents have trained and educated them. I feel bad for 18 out of 19 of them.

You don't have to agree with my HUNCH, but at least I didn't try to pass off my guess as fact.
The fact (not hope, not a 'hunch') that there is no evidence of a reoccurrence leads a reasonable person to believe the therapy was effective.

I don't think the boys are fit for manual labor at all. They all appear to be chubby with the skin tone of a vampire. I think the heaviest item they have lifted in their entire lives is probably a Bible. They wouldn't last one day on a jobsite.

All of them, male and female have been raised like breeding stock in a puppy mill.

They'd have to toughen up pretty fast then.

Just because there is no VISIBLE evidence, doesn't mean that there hasn't been a reoccurrence.

Let me ask you this. So, if a child molester who raped babies, was thrown in jail and while in jail 'found god', then got out and decided to live next to you, would you allow him to babysit your children alone?

LOL so we go on INVISIBLE evidence, like hunches? Try that one in a court of law!

People only resort to farfetched hypotheticals when they know they're in the wrong. The Duggars are good people and are getting an unfair deal because of their beliefs. The therapy has worked, and until evidence (not hunches, not hope) comes out to the contrary, you will have to deal with it.

That's it! Why didn't Jim-Bob ever buy a franchise? He has the perfect family for that.

If they couldn't or didn't save money at 25-40K an episode after all these years, I have no sympathy for them. Oh, wait, I don't have any anyway.
