Josh Duggar has resigned from the amti-gay Family Research Council in light of his child molestation charges going public.
“Twelve years ago, as a young teenager, (He was 16.) I acted inexcusably for which I am extremely sorry and deeply regret. I hurt others, including my family and close friends. I confessed this to my parents who took several steps to help me address the situation. We spoke with the authorities where I confessed my wrongdoing, and my parents arranged for me and those affected by my actions to receive counseling. I understood that if I continued down this wrong road that I would end up ruining my life. I would do anything to go back to those teen years and take different actions. I sought forgiveness from those I had wronged and asked Christ to forgive me and come into my life. In my life today, I am so very thankful for God’s grace, mercy and redemption.” – Josh Duggar, announcing his resignation from the Family Research Council in a statement to People Magazine.
Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar of TLC’s “19 and Counting”, have also issued a statement:
“Back 12 years ago our family went through one of the most difficult times of our lives, When Josh was a young teenager, he made some very bad mistakes, and we were shocked. We had tried to teach him right from wrong. That dark and difficult time caused us to seek God like never before. Even though we would never choose to go through something so terrible, each one of our family members drew closer to God. We pray that as people watch our lives they see that we are not a perfect family. We have challenges and struggles everyday. It is one of the reasons we treasure our faith so much because God’s kindness and goodness and forgiveness are extended to us – even though we are so undeserving. We hope somehow the story of our journey – the good times and the difficult times – cause you to see the kindness of God and learn that He can bring you through anything.”
Rent-boys Rekers, David Dukes KKK mailing list and now Sister Diddler Duggar. The FRC sure knows how to pick them.
The family is nothing but self righteous pond scum, lying, pure white trash. They are on a bobsled straight to hell. I smell a show cancellation……
Do you see the way these fuckers exploit their children? I survived Roe vs. Wade?!?!?
That is such bullshit. I look forward to when more of the children start doing terrible things. It will happen and the fundies will still support and defend them. Just like Perkins and Huckafuck.
