GOP activist Josh Duggar arrested on child porn charges - Lemon Drop - 04-30-2021
Sad saga continues after his reality TV family's 2015 implosion due to his behavior.
US marshals picked him up .
He and wife just announced last week that baby number 7 is on the way.

His parents created that monster. Their bizarre take on Christianity suppressed normal sexual behavior, the end result being this deviant behavior as his only outlet. Not excusing him of course. Just showing responsibility extends beyond him as well.

If the upbringing caused it, wouldn't at least some of his billion brothers be pedos too?

No, the upbringing increases the risk for all of them, hence manifesting in this particular one (and who knows how many of the others).

Contributing isn't the same as causation, but kj knows that - I hope.

Agreed. Conservative Christians like Duggar's family create their own special kind of hell by trying to reconcile their repressive sexual beliefs with their own behaviors. It's a game they can't win. Maybe this incident will be the beginning of redemption for Dugger, but it will be a battle for him. IMO, sexual perversion becomes deeply embedded in a person's psyche and isn't easy to cure.

I wonder how Mike Huckabee will spin this?

I’m not a fan of the Duggar’s but I think it’s a stretch to say this is a result of their beliefs.

I had never heard of them so I read their wiki. While Josh has significant problems all I read about the parents indicates they are very conservative. I didn’t read anything weird about the parents (other than the number of kids).

....they are ultra conservative and don't believe in birth control......
