Why would Josh Duggar claim to apologize to his sisters for molesting them if he didn't?

As for the discussion of the Duggars' political views, ol' Jim Bob ran for political office as a conservative Republican on a "family values" platform. .
So where were you with all the posts targeting religion, certain political views in general within this thread? How about the person he was responding to? She has quite a bit of posts on two threads here about this situation (neither in the politics forum) where she makes derogatory statements that apply across the board and not to just the Druggars.

Spare me the keep political in general out of thread if you can't apply that evenly to everyone or to even your self.

When you throw crap out that people are actually defending this person because he is white and a christian isn't really a attack on peoples religious or political views but your just discussing the Duggars?

Or do we only excuse famous white Christian 14 year olds?
Linda_d;
Apparently, that's how the Duggars' defenders see things.
You are constantly stating that people are "defending" the actions here. I have only read one post that has even stated something close to that and it was from a religion hating, leftist that hates them the most because they are "breeders" but understands how he was tempted.

Then again, most people still behave as if the Earth has no limits so the Duggars are just showcasing human gluttony.

So go back and tell Sheena to take it to the politics forum too.

Get off your high-horse and clean up this whole thread instead of being a bias hack job.

When a group of people, religion, political groups claim to be "holier than thou", it is usually safe to say that something is happening behind close doors".

Especially those hell bent at pushing their religion, political beliefs and certain agenda on everyone else.

For example, how many anti-gay Republicans have been caught red handed soliciting sex from other men? A lot!

I call bu!!****. I think it would be safer to say that the VAST majority of deeply religious people practice what they preach. There are bad apples in every type of people, religion, political group.

Exactly! Even Dennis Hastert is now caught in past "sexual misconduct."

Jim Bob, telling Megyn Kelly how he reacted when he found out:

He waited three times before taking any action.

“There were a couple of times he came and told us what he had done,” Jim Bob Duggar told Kelly of how they found out about Josh’s actions. “Again this was not rape or anything like that, it was touching someone over the clothes. There were a couple of times he touched someone under the clothes for a few seconds. Each time he came and told us, crying. It was the third time that we decided we needed help.”
