In reply to the discussion: Who's Defending the Duggers Girls - The Real VICTIMS! [View all]LeftyMom
(49,212 posts)7. A few things to keep in mind:
If this "Alice" person knew the details (and it sure seems like she did, and yes, this has been widely rumored for years) then the four of the five sisters at the time who were abused were ages 5-11, and the 12 year old was not.
I'm going to repeat that for emphasis: FIVE. NINE. TEN. And ELEVEN.
Which means he wasn't engaged in some weird sheltered doctor playing, he was specifically targeting the girls who weren't yet pubescent.
That's some sick shit, and that's the kind of sick shit that actual professionals (and not bible camp and a few months of construction work) can't fix.
And his own daughter is five.

If we're thinking of the same poster, I'm not surprised. She's no fan of gay people either.

This needed to be said. The victims seem to be an afterthought in discussion and media coverage.

It's Josh who, as a grown man, has been a professional anti gay crusader and self appointed judge

The guy, Josh, is an aggressive anti gay activist. For a living. Also a big anti choice activist.

Sounds like the Duggars are mostly unemployed. Anyone sense a Book Deal in the offing?
