> [@alphaboi867](#): > > And I might actually watch that series if TLC didn’t give them veto power over the editing, or otherwise bend over backward to present them in the best possible, least crazy light. 😉 Of course if they did that it would only last 1 season. I’m 99% sure that if there is a new show just following a few of the Duggars, it still won’t show anything at all wrong with the Quiverfull lifestyle or with their super conservative beliefs. There might be some laughs amongst the girls about how they used to wear such square outfits and have bad hairstyles, but they’ve become more modern while still following God, without mentioning all that their version of following God entails. ---

I’m not following it closely, but I believe that in the Ashley Madison thread, the porn star assignation allegation has been described as having some inconsistencies _vis a vis_ Josh’s documented whereabouts on some of the dates in question. ---

Yeah, she was _gifted_ $1500. Shit, I’d fuck anyone willing to gift me $1000. I’m a bargain! Any takers\*? - This offer does not apply to Josh Duggar. ---

The Duggars have managed to pretty much destroy the likability of a number of J names. Not that there was much call to name kids Jinger . . . ---

I’d just like to take this opportunity to thank Josh Duggar for getting most of the GOP presidential field to take selfies with him _before_ all this came to light! Thanks, Josh!

> [@Sam\_Lowry](#): > > It’s not because of a financial analysis, it’s because of this: > > > [@](#): > > > > The multi-platform initiative will begin with a one-hour, commercial-free documentary likely airing in late August, the network said. It will include the participation of Jill and Jessa Duggar, two of the sisters Josh Duggar touched inappropriately, as well as other survivors and families affected by such abuse. > > There’d been rumors of a spinoff with Jill and Jessa, I believe even before the news about Josh broke. If the documentary is at all successful, TLC will use that as a jump-off point for a series following them. > > Finally canceling the show and working with RAINN are good things, but TLC deserves just the bare minimum of praise. The special has aired now: > [@](#): > > Interweaving factual information—such as the reality that 80-90 percent of sexual abuse is committed by someone the child knows and the reality that more children suffer sexual from sexual abuse than cancer or car accidents—with stories of survivors, the show did an excellent job of balancing the difficulty of talking about a subject that’s so taboo with an uplifting message that survivors can move on, be happy, and lead successful lives. > > But as strong as some segments of the documentary were, the show featured a Duggar-sized hole that many viewers may not have expected. Jessa, Jill, and Michelle Duggar were featured for a total of about two minutes, but watching them on screen, it felt like TLC was really doing the bare minimum to acknowledge what happened in their household. In fact, if one didn’t know about Josh Duggar’s crimes, watching his sisters (who have been confirmed as his victims) and mother speak would suggest that they were brought onto the show just as celebrity ambassadors, a couple of close-knit family members that just wanted to share the message that childhood sexual abuse was wrong. I didn’t watch it, but it sounds like a special that would have been good, but it’s very strange to have it and not acknowledge what Josh Duggar did. Also I wonder how many people actually watched it, with it being the end of August, and the Video Music Awards and Fear the Walking Dead being at the same time. Maybe it’s counter-programming, or maybe they put it on when it wouldn’t be noticed. That way they can get credit for putting on a special about the harm sexual assault causes, but try not to remind people about how the channel has given so much money to a damaged and damaging family. ---

Well apparently [Jessa](https://www.yahoo.com/tv/s/jessa-seewald-publicly-sides-father-024900797.html) has sided with her father-in-law against him. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/josh-duggar-duggar-kid-1-19-to-be-executive-director-of-family-research-council/661369.md?page=26)
