Jessa (Duggar) Seewald and Jill (Duggar) Dillard appeared on TLC's documentary Breaking the Silence Sunday, seeking education to address the aftermath of the abuse they faced at the hands of brother Josh Duggar more than a decade ago.
"It's amazing to understand that there are so many people that deal with this exact same thing in their own families," said Jill, 24.
"So just being educated is very good." Jessa, 22, noted, "I feel like this should be a discussion people are having, even regularly. I think that it shouldn't be a taboo subject, that we should be bringing awareness to child sexual abuse and talking about this."
Okay I'm confused.
Didn't the Duggar family do just about everything they could think of, including the threat of a lawsuit, to keep people from talking about Josh Duggar's molestation of at least five young girls, including his own sisters?
And doesn't the family still claim that none of the victims even knew they were being abused?
Michele Duggar also appeared on the program and here is what she said:
"I was so glad that my girls and I were able to do this together and that we could just be a support and encouragement to each other to be able to gain more information about this important topic," said Michelle, 48.
Yes well that's all well and good but it does not really speak to the fact that the family's refusal to get Josh Duggar the treatment he really needed early on, and their ignorance about his predatory impulses, allowed him to victimize his own siblings as well as other young women who made the mistake of sleeping over at the Duggar household.
Not only that but the fact that Josh was also recently outed as a paying customer for the online cheating website Ashley Madison, and that he paid for sex with a porn star, should also suggest that Josh's problems were not due to childlike curiosity, but rather to a pathological need for illicit sexual encounters that may very well have resulted from his upbringing and the example set by his parents.
If true than the problems in the Duggar family are undoubtedly more problematic than we have been led to believe, and they should be the last people trotted out as "victims" in any sense of the word.
They are not normal people, else they would have known what the male kid did is very wrong and would have stopped it right away. Crazy people.
ReplyDeleteMany child molesters have been molested themselves and many families have generational child molestation in them. That is exactly what I think happened with the Duggars, there was more of this going on than just Josh the pervert, most likely JimBoob molested Josh and maybe others.
Deletetotally OT..

Jessa is saying she wants 20 kids, with a husband who is unemployed. So, does she want a TV show also, too? They should not be shown as examples of anything exxcept hypocrasy.
ReplyDeleteJessa has already been whining that her sister got more things from TLC than she is getting for being knocked up.
Delete"I was so glad that my girls and I were able to do this together and that we could just be a support and encouragement to each other to be able to gain more information about this important topic," said Michelle, 48.
ReplyDeleteWHAT? When did you support those girls, Mom? You and Daddy did your best to blame them, send their brother away briefly to avoid the law getting involved, and then, when he was outed, blame the media for stirring up your 'troubled hearts.' My goodness, you three are the last people with any credibility to be giving counsel to others (I can think of one even less credible family, actually..)

She let her girls be molested for at least three years that she will admit to, I suspect it went on much longer.
DeleteNo, Michelle was there to ensure that the daughters stayed on script and didn't reveal anything extra: warden, not supporter.
DeleteEven though married and adult, those daughters will never escape the shackles and muzzles applied by their toxic parents.
Was Josh Duggar ever attracted to Bristol Palin? Does his wife and sisters resemble the earlier Bristol Palin? The pre -modified Bristol? I'm not talking exactly but enough to give him a woody.
ReplyDeleteI suspect Josh had a woody every 10 minutes. When he changed a diaper, looked at his sisters, heard his parents in the bedroom, and when his imagination ran amok.
DeleteAnything with two or four legs probably gave hi a woody. Or he had a woody and went looking for legs.
DeleteReal therapy could address these types of issues- if he ever got any real therapy.
The way Josh held Sarah in their picture, I would say he felt that things were promising for him with one of the Palins or their pals. Sarah and Todd may have operated similar with Dakota and it may have encouraged him to be hopeful about getting some from someone that Valentine's time in Vegas.

It makes sense that the inner circle of these cults and Republicans know what is up and how it works. It is top secret and no one wants to be the one to spill. One day it will come out that these horn dogs knew what was going on.
Who puts their hands like that on an old woman that could be your mother?

Jessa Duggar sparks furious backlash after she’s booked to speak at Southern women’s event
ReplyDelete...“I wonder if Jessa will answer questions about the molestation cover up?” posted one commenter. “Why her husband doesn’t have a job? Why she’s traveling this late in her pregnancy? Does she plan on ‘blanket training’ her son (beating baby until he/she submits to the rod)? Just asking.”
Seewald’s mother, Michelle Duggar, explained on the family’s blog how she used the controversial method, which involves placing babies on blankets and flicking them with a flexible rod when they try to crawl off — eventually teaching the children to ignore their natural curiosity and remain in place.
“I’m having a very difficult time wrapping my head around the concept that Jessa even remotely has anything valuable to contribute,” wrote another commenter. “She was raised in a culture where women are devalued as equals and are viewed as second class citizens, whose only true purpose is to breed. She’s not a proud Southern woman, not by my standards.”
Many commenters said they were boycotting this year’s event and future conferences.
“Your choice of including an uneducated, judgmental and arrogant Duggar as a guest speaker has made it impossible for me to attend any more of your events,” one commenter said.

Unfortunately, the modern Christian fundamentalists and the GOP want women to be "devalued as equals and [ ] viewed as second class citizens, whose true purpose is to breed." That's their notions of the true "Southern belle."
DeleteBeaglemom
What a bunch of clueless manipulated people these Duggars are. You feel sorry for the victims, except less so as they probably enable the next generation of victims (some their own children possibly) to be victimized (some by their own family members possibly).

Praise Jeebus and pass the teevee dollars back their way! They have a cult to support don'cha know? Not to mention doing gwad's work by warning everyone about teh gay marriages endangering children everywhere!
No confusion for me.....I'm sure they were well compensated for their time. They are, after all, desperately trying to get back on television. They're destitute right? At least that's what they seem to be claiming on a daily basis. Yes they made millions on tv and book deals but - they don't have enough money.
ReplyDeleteIt's all about the grift.
Amen!
DeleteThese Duggars make the Palin family look normal.
ReplyDeleteOk ok? I get it I get it. Did they say? "boys will be boys"? screw ya sis and be proud of yer self? Pathetic pigs.
ReplyDeleteThey are a bunch of inbreds...
ReplyDeleteHow much genetic diversity do you think there is in this Quiverfull Movement?
They arrange the marriages within the movement keeping the hefty breeding tradition going...
Duggars had a goose that laid big golden eggs each week.

Have you not heard of tinyurl.com to reduce the horrendous size of your URL?
DeleteI think it's interesting when the longass url has lots of details about the search the poster used..;-)
DeleteThe blame for this sick fiasco belongs entirely to the parents, and the sex-soaked environment in which they raised those poor kids. Mom was required to submit to Pop whenever he wished, and the life of the family revolved around that and around how much and how fast they could reproduce. So the kid Josh mimics dad as soon as the hormones kick in, and the parents offer no professional help or support--all they do is bury the whole thing as fast as they can in order to protect their sick brand. So Josh gets no real help for his obsession, he marries as soon as he can, fathers kids as fast as he can--just like Big Daddy! This whole insane thing was set in motion by the failure of the parents to do their job. I'm sure this is not a popular opinion, but I blame Big Duggs for the whole thing, and consider Josh a victim of their depraved indifference.
ReplyDeleteI concur and am glad I am not the only one to see that Josh is a victim of his parentage. Yes, he's an adult now, so he needs to take responsibility for his actions, but the early stuff that made him who he is today is rooted in a "caged-heat" like atmosphere. Get a teenage boy, hopped up on hormones, and prevent any kind of release (even by himself in private) and what do you think will happen?
DeleteThat blanket training sounds like child abuse to me. As if molesting the girl wasn't enough, Mom admits to using a switch on a crawling baby? These people need to be jailed.
ReplyDeleteGryphen, it's past time that you posted this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JVjRiQw9KLw
ReplyDeleteThese brainwashed sheeple either lied then or are liars now. Didn't mom "swear" the girls were "asleep" and "didn't even know about it until the story broke"......"her underage boy's sealed records were made public..... persecuted because of out faith......fill in the blanks"....
ReplyDeleteGet them off the airwaves, All of them. Have a REAL special about the truths of child sexual abuse, incest, and the effects of bad parents taking the side of the perp. Have REAL victims and REAL, CERTIFIED Psychiatrists, Counselors, and activists.
How much are they making for the show?
"Specials" were $100,000, and all those births and weddings and engagements and holidays and dates and trips were specials.
DeleteWeek in and week out.
As lucrative as was the main reality show, having separate spin-off shows for all those kids would have augmented and perpetuated the flow of lucre.
Duggars all day, every day.
None of them have job skills, nor were they interested in learning an honest trade.
Expect to read about "The Prodigal Son," a dramatic special set for Spring, when a repentant Josh returns to the bosom of his family. Jim Bob and his agent were probably formulating the outline even as Josh shuffled into so-called rehab.
Pah!
Sounds just like the Kardashians, hauksdottir at 8:31 pm. I have the feeling that the K-family own their network; I wonder if the Duggars have the same kind of $ clout with TLC. They must have brought in the most viewers and advertising income. Hard to believe that two such different and similarly ignorant families could have such a sway over American television viewers.
