No, your "point" doesn't stand. Sexual attraction to a prepubescent child is present or it is not present. It doesn't matter if one is 14 or 27 or 85. You are sexually attracted to children or you aren't.
I could not care less about the family's TV show or income. My "satisfaction" is irrelevant. What matters is that a known, confessed pedophile has no more access to children.
According to this website, The Duggars are not part of the Quiverfull movement. I wonder what other details presented by people here are flat out wrong:

Q: Are the Duggars part of the QuiverFull movement?
A: The Duggars write in their second book, A Love That Multiplies: "Even though Wikipedia and some Internet blogs report that we are part of a QuiverFull movement, we are not. We are simply Bible-believing Christians who desire to follow God's Word and apply it to our lives" (page 92).
And in the process, they exploited the victims who are also "their own". What people don't often realize about children who have been molested by close family members, is the drive the child has to protect the perpetrator... which easily be used by the adults to justify not going to the authorities.

Aren't these the same nice folks that hid a Serial Child Molester in their midst? Oh okay. Everything they say should be believed
Yeah I kinda think they are more knowledgeable about their own beliefs than you are especially since you demonstrate extreme biased against Christians.

They do not publicly identify with that movement for whatever reason but their ideology and lifestyle is 99% compatible with it. It is therefore fair to say that they are Quiverfull in all but public acceptance of the label.
If I had to guess I would say that publicly identifying with that movement would be a liability in promoting the show, but I have no idea why they actually shy from it.
If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck ...

Precisely.
They're clearly following the quiverfull movement (which, as a movement, isn't some sort of organization with membership cards, after all). They walk like quiverfulling ducks and they quack like quiverfulling ducks. But some would have us believe that since they eschew the term 'quiverfull', that means they're anything but?
As for the Duggar blog? It's chock full of quiverfull practices, from the obvious rabbit-like reproduction to betrothal (What kind of man is suitable to date a Duggar girl? That's up to Jim Bob, says his adult daughter Jill), to the debt-free obsession, the home-schooling, the 'modest dress', and so forth - every last thing about them is straight out of the quiverfull handbook.
A former adherent to the quiverfull concept points out that many in the movement avoid applying the 'quiverfull' label to themselves:
Quote:
I say that the term “Quiverfull” is “unfortunate” because, I don’t believe that many who are involved in this lifestyle would label themselves as “Quiverfull” ~ and also because it implies a special focus on the anti-birth control aspect of the lifestyle which is not necessarily primary among those who have adopted some or all of the beliefs associated with what might more aptly be called “the Christian family renewal movement” or the practice of “biblical family values.”
It's the usual obfuscation by those who perceive the Duggars as ideological allies - they defend them to no end, all the while insisting that they're not defending them.
Yeah I kinda think they are more knowledgeable about their own beliefs than you are especially since you demonstrate extreme biased against Christians.
I demonstrate extreme bias against Serial Child Molesters and his parents that are guilty of Reckless Child Endangerment.
You would be too, but you are blinded by the fact that they masquerade as christians.
