This is a little off topic but I can't get over the name Jinger. Seriously? There are sooo many J names. Jinger?!
I know, right? One episode when they were all voting on the new baby's name and Jim Bob wanted to name her Julie, I thought that was cute. Julie or Julia are both so sweet... Better than Jinger. And Joy Anna and Johannah are basically the same name. Some missed opportunities here.

I agree. It seems like they picked all the odd J names for girls. What about Judith, Jacqueline, Jessica, etc.

Sorry, just catching up here. What I don't understand is the support Josh and this family are getting right now. First it was Mike Huckabee and now Jessa's FIL. What is wrong with these people? Jessa's FIL basically said that anyone would molest if they had an opportunity, and we should thank God that more people don't. SMH.

Um, what?!?!
I read a little more just a minute ago, and it isn't as horrible as I thought, but here's the passage that bothers me:
While not all of our sins find a way to manifest themselves externally we all know the corruption that is present in each of our hearts. It is a mercy of God that he restrains the evil of mankind otherwise we would have destroyed ourselves long ago. Many times it is simply lack of opportunity or fear of consequences that keep us from falling into grievous sin even though our fallen hearts would love to indulge the flesh. We should not be shocked that this occurred in the Duggar’s home, we should rather be thankful to God if we have been spared such, and pray that he would keep us and our children from falling.

WTAF. How about you just be an actual GOOD FUCKING PERSON and not molest your little sisters?!? I am comfortable saying I don't have god in my life and I have never considered molesting either of my sisters, or anyone else, ever. I can't even with this "Christian" jibber jabber.
Yeah the fundamentalist reaction to the Josh Duggar thing is a huge mindfuck. I watched the "Digging in with the Duggars" special last night and Michelle talked about what she was like before she became a Christian at 15, and I feel like (however wrong) it offers a clear perspective on the way they choose to look at things. She talked about how before she learned Christian modesty, she used to mow her lawn in her bikini. After she became a Christian she realized how terribly she had acted and talked about how much guilt she felt towards the man who lived across the street from her, that she was parading her body in front of him and basically forcing him to think unpure thoughts.
So yeah. I think they support Josh because they're the ultimate victim blamers--that God created them all as sinners, and because they're sinners they have impure thoughts, and because at times their sin-laden ways were stronger than their faith in God. But those impure thoughts are caused in the first place by other people doing sinful things, i.e. his sisters not being modest enough.

How were they not being modest when they were sleeping??? I'm not trying to attack you sarasansh, that's just the first thing that came to mind when I read that. And I'm sure that's how they look at it. It's just terrible all around. I wish I could find the article I found posted online yesterday from a blogger. It was very well written.

Not surprised really. That's how they are making a good amount of their money. Also, did you read where it said "a lot of time has been invested in developing these story lines." Huh? You mean their lives? Just wow
It wouldn't surprise me if this was true. The show's become 75% them anyway. It's dull as paint when they try to create story lines with Michelle and Jim Bob these days. Plus the producers have spent a decade doing this--I'm sure neither they, nor the family, want to just throw it all away. Especially since it's basically Jessa & Ben's only source of income right now!

The bolded for sure. I'm sure all parties expected big money out of this for quite awhile yet. I just wonder if they can get sponsor support. If no one wants to advertise during their show, it's not going to happen.
So did you guys see the news that the Duggars have admitted that Jessa & Jill were 2 of Josh's victims & the girls will be appearing with their parents in the Fox News interview?
