She and Jim Bob still talk about how hard they are trying to "catch a baby." this makes me picture a bunch of people running around with their hands out, kinda like when they toss the bridal bouquet at a wedding. lol!! (Just talk about it in the real terms, already-- you're adults!!) It makes me think of monsters chasing babies around

I didn't read the entire 24-page thread here, so I might be repeating the question: When it become known that the 'dad' in 7th Heaven was a child molester (he confessed it however, so no question about it) every channel immediatly stopped airing episodes of 7th Heaven. Even here in Norway. No tv-channel wanted to be associated with a show with a known and admitted child molester in it. Do you think something like this could happen to 19 Kids and counting? That all the reruns and everything gets pulled? Or would Josh have to be convicted first you think? I thought of this the other day when i was browsing the tv guide listings and there was a channel showing a few episodes of 7th Heaven. I was surprised to see it back on the air, but it was on a newish small station that airs family-friendly shows. I don't remember which station it was, but I wondered if someone there didn't do their homework, or maybe they thought it's been long enough since that news broke, and maybe they thought viewers wouldn't remember.

I may have missed mention of this in the 24 pages (and will apologize ahead of time if I did), but am I dreaming that I read that the Hobby Lobby president/CEO/some other bigwig is the mastermind behind the counseling (for lack of a better word) camp that Josh was sent to?? Did anyone else see that?

I didn't read it here, but I did read somewhere that Josh Duggar supposedly went to The Institute in Basic Life in Little Rock for "counseling". Hobby Lobby founder David Green is a big supporter of Bill Gothard, the religious leader that founded the "Institute". Or so I read. No idea if any of it's true.

Did anyone else see that? He gave Gothard (whose teachings the Duggars largely followed) and his cult a number of buildings, or sold them to Gothard for $10. If I wasn't done with Hobby Lobby before, I sure would be now.

Cross them off my list...moving on to CVS or Rite Aid now.

Not if people contact their advertising sponsors. They are listening and are starting to drop. Lots of voices need to be heard, since the Duggars are now urging their fans to contact sponsors, too.

This just came across my fb feed people That's just crazy and I'm thinking another petition is in order. It has to be stopped! In my mind these girls were probably Josh's victims and here they are being paraded out again (no doubt due to Jim Bob's orders and no say of their own). I know, I know I'm assuming here, and you are not supposed to assume-but does anyone else agree with me? I just feel so sorry for those sisters and the other victim that never got the counselling, chance to heal and most importantly the support they needed from their parents. It's like they are being assaulted over and over again by these sick, twisted parents who only care about their precious sons. Gosh, I'm angry! Debbie in MD.

I feel that every screen minute that TLC gives this family, they are validating what has happened and are pronouncing it as "okay."

What's working is contacting the TLC advertisers. They are jumping ship faster than rats now that people are speaking out against this debacle. TLC and Discovery, for some inexplicable reason, are digging their heels in the sand. Oh, and of course the Duggars. They are apparently urging their fans to support them and lobby for continuation and spinoffs. Decent people need to keep speaking out to sponsors and letting them know that any kind of continuation of the Duggar shows is wrong and supporting criminal deviants.

Thanks Greenlegume for clarifying what I need to do (and reminding us all) to keep TLC from putting this spin-off on the air. I will be sending out letters or contacting the sponsors from the links you (I think it was you) provided up thread. It will at least give me a small feeling of helping to do what I can to help those two young women from continuing to be paraded out in front of viewers eyes to earn money for that pig Jim Bob. You know he's got to be in charge of all that's been going on as far as this spin off. I can't imagine it's the girls or their husband's ideas. Jim Bob and Michelle should be in jail for failure to protect their daughters.
Debbie in MD.
