The innocence about sexuality is p much the definition of childhood and claiming that kids are actively sexual is nothing but molester propaganda. And don't start talking about "psychology", Sigman Freud believed everyone wants to fck their mom and dream about penises WHAT A PERVeRT

my wife used to work at a treatment center for child victims of sexual assault and one time she brought a whole bunch of paperwork detailing the numbers and statistics of this sort of thing in this area...... it's freaking shocking how prevalent this type of poo poo is, the ages, the relationships between victims and abusers, etc. i knew poo poo was hosed up and all....but it was a real  to see the numbers just spelled out like that

oh dear Lord they have a lovely family it's really sad that they had to go through this it's good though that they seemed to have made the best out of it they seem committed to living a moral life and i guess if someone never sinned or came from a perfect family they'd have a good place to throw stones from but i don't see the point in piling on these people when you see them vulnerable. it's cruel. it seems people are letting out all their stinky dirty laundry with regards to how they feel about christianity and God and all that and they are unloading it all on these poor folks. its like a dog eat dog holier than thou welcome to the jungle pissin contest for the love of Christ just forgive them in your hearts and let God sort it out

this entire thread is just a bunch of terrible attempts at shaming people for growing up in less than fortunate circumstances, being victims of abuse, having sexual abuse occur in one's family, etc. etc. frankly, it's a bit disheartening to see something so delicate and upsetting being used as a way to take cheap shots at your least favorite demographic. people are trying to talk like they give a single poo poo about the victims here but what they really want is just to try to elevate themselves by cutting into this family if people cared about the victims at all they would recognize that having their family issues paraded around like this is not good or healthy or anything for the victims. neither is all of the vitriol aimed at their parents or family o r household or culture or religion. it's straight up bullying, with a terribly thin half assed feigned nod towards the victim in how it's framed as if that has anything to do with the volume and depth of the public outcry TL;DR

Jack Gladney posted:Trust in Jesus because only a loving god would allow a child to rape his sisters and get away with it because his father had dirt on a crooked cop who made it all go away. God bless. it's actually because Christ died for the sins of all mankind also, you say "get away with it" like you're upset about the cosmic injustice of him getting something really sweet like robbing a bank or a candy store you sicko. the kid was distraught about his actions, as any person with a working heart and soul who committed a terrible sin against someone else and against God, and willfully confessed his sins and sought help. christian forgiveness may not make sense if you live in a world where doing terrible poo poo is fun and being punished is the cost of that, in that case it's just "cheating the marketplace " or whatever else liberals consider to be immoral

CrowdControl posted:I know this is probably a troll but I'm gonna have to call bull poo poo. It's not like anyone picked a random family and the drug their dirty laundry out for everyone to see. Stop right here. I think a whole lot of what I'm seeing is people lining up to condemn the Duggars and also other Christians for being sanctimonious hypocrites. I think people are getting satisfaction from someone who claims to have found the truth having just as ugly problems as the rest of us. Now I understand that many people have had the unfortunate experience of people claiming to use Christianity or Christian values as an exterior to justify at attitude of judging others. I grew up in the south and unfortunately there's an ugly history of people wrapping up hate in a pretty package. With all of that in mind, I can see how people might think "oh well these people believe they are better than us so it's good to see them suffer in their problems". Here's the thing though, it should be clear to anyone with a passing understanding of Christianity to see that if someone is authentically trying to live a Christian life, they are absolutely not the target of your frustrations. Christianity is about humility, it's about forgiveness, it's about acknowledging first and foremost that I am a sinner, I messed up, I'm unclean and accepting that and knowing that I have no place to cast judgement on others. It's about the togetherness we find in being alone, unworthy, hell even unlovable in the infinite judgement of God yet still loved and by redemption through Christ we find a way to aim for something better. I think this whole debacle goes to show that no matter how picture perfect your family seems, everyone has sin, everyone messes up, every single one of us stepped in poo poo. Christians are not above that and there is no Christian justification for behaving as if one is holier than thou. quote:only for this monstrosity to come to light. Then rather than step out of the spotlight, they force their kids into an interview to try to convince the public that they did nothing wrong and the only issue with how they handled their son molesting their daughters is that people found out about it. There seems to be so much of other people projecting intentions and stuff onto this family. I think they have all shown shame, humility,and repentance and I don't think anyone is trying to downplay the significance of this. It's just not helpful in anyway to anyone (especially the poor girls) to make this into a media spectacle and tear the family to pieces as a way to take a jab at Christianity

mdm posted:lol what difference does their religion make, religion is not the relevant part of the story, it's purely political. This didn't happen because the Duggars are Christian, it happened because they're famous and of the vocal political position that trannies gonna rape or something stupid whoa hold up perhaps i'm missing something but when was the duggar family going around accusing people of rape or hating on others? i haven't seen too much about them, but every time i look further they seem very judicious and careful and open and not at all like your fundie aunt who gets drunk and screams about the gays at thanksgiving

Portals posted:they are blatantly homophobic and transphobic and most of their practices involve not treating women like fellow humans so basically if you're not a straight cisgendered male you should have an issue with them yeah no i'm gonna have to hold my judgement on this one. unfortunately liberals are so quick to cal someone homophobia or transphobic or paint them in these horrible ways simply for disagreeing with them. i've seen it too much. if they really do have that sort of hatred in their heart, i hope they will heal and grow, but i haven't seen it. let's be honest here. a lot of what liberals call homophobia or transfobia is really just insensitivity and some faux pas while i understand there is some bigotry which should NOT be tolerated, don't go tripping over yourselves trying to find every secret homophobe like it's some red scare bs. here's a lesson perhaps that liberal critics of christianity should learn from christians: when someone does something bad, it is not good or helpful to do it back to them. if we want an open and tolerant and polite and good society, then we need to slow our roll when it comes to trying to purge out anyone who isn't up to speed yet. i mean i understand the irony here speaking as a communist, revolutionary terror has its place whatever, but come on

Portals posted:bro look, they sent out a robocall that was blatantly against trans people. it sure as heck wasnt just a "faux pas" you know drat well that the entire republican political strategy is trying to dupe people who have honest convictions into voting for their vampire power structure i don't think she was out trying to hurt trans people, look at the transcript from her robocall: quote:Hello, this is Michelle Duggar. I’m calling to inform you of some shocking news that would affect the safety of Northwest Arkansas women and children. The Fayetteville City Council is voting on an ordinance this Tuesday night that would allow men – yes I said men – to use womens and girls restrooms, locker rooms, showers, sleeping areas and other areas that are designated for females only. I don’t believe the citizens of Fayetteville would want males with past child predator convictions that claim they are female to have a legal right to enter private areas that are reserved for women and girls. I doubt that Fayetteville parents would stand for a law that would endanger their daughters or allow them to be traumatized by a man joining them in their private space. We should never place the preference of an adult over the safety and innocence of a child. Parents, who do you want undressing next to your daughter at the public swimming pool’s private changing area? I still believe that we are a society that puts women and children first. Women, young ladies and little girls deserve to use the restroom or any other facility in peace and safety. Will you speak up for protecting women and children? Now she may be misinformed about whatever law this is (i don't know the specifics, but I do know how effective the right wing propaganda machine is at controlling narratives), but if we just take her at her word, and accept that she believes this law is going to do exactly what she is saying it will do, do you think she is terrible for opposing it? this doesn't look like she's going around trying to force trans people to see the world her way and accept Christ, it sounds like she was afraid that males with child predator convictions might find a loophole in the law which would allow them to enter private areas. that doesn't sound to me like westboro baptist church it sounds like a concerned mom

i think it's time for American christians to do some soul searching with regards to how the Christian faith has been coopted by political right-wingers and fanatics. it's no good. However, all confusions considered, I don't think someone having traditional views of marriage and gender is a terrible thing (not too terrible at least, i think feminism is necessary)

Pvt.Scott posted:I hate to break it to you guys, but being right with the Lord doesn't absolve you from being punished by the world for your sins. The laws of God are expressly not the laws of man, and Christians are called on to obey worldly authorities where their laws do not contradict the laws of God. Government authorities are granted the right to rule by God's divine will, for good and for ill. Since Josh and his parents conveniently didn't report this crime until it was no longer punishable by law, it is perfectly acceptable to me that the Duggars take some heat now. Jesus promised his followers a life full of suffering, hardships and unjust persecution, so just trust in the Lord and await your rewards in heaven. If you want a comfortable life free from want or worry, come join me in the atheist camp. good post i agree really, perhaps things are all just working out the way they should.... still though, as for me, i'm in no position to cast stones at anyone so i hope their family can grow from this awful situation Commie NedFlanders fucked around with this message at 03:01 on Jun 12, 2015 |

mdm posted:The difference is how they are portrayed in the media and how they portray themselves and live the phelps family are purposefully antagonistic, they are trolls, haters, they are trying to mess with people and their worldview is perverted beyond recognition. they are trying to cause suffering to others just to drive home their obsessive interest in their single-topic faith. they want to cause as much trouble as possible for the purpose of shaming gays, it's awful. the duggers seem to be coming from a place of benevolence and care and they don't seem to be out trying to hurt anyone, but they are limited in their perspective too and they may not always see how to best do this, but this is what comes with a good Christian lifestyle, you find yourself with certain convictions but you don't want to cause problems for others. it's a very  way to live

mdm posted:So the Westboro folks are worse because you view the way they pray to Jesus or whatever as inferior to the Duggar version? James 2:14-18 14 What good is it, my brothers and sisters, if someone claims to have faith but has no deeds? Can such faith save them? 15 Suppose a brother or a sister is without clothes and daily food. 16 If one of you says to them, “Go in peace; keep warm and well fed,” but does nothing about their physical needs, what good is it? 17 In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead. 18 But someone will say, “You have faith; I have deeds.” Show me your faith without deeds, and I will show you my faith by my deeds.

Shnag posted:Commie nedflanders, while trolling, is really doing a net positive service. He does a solid job portraying a far right fundie view point. Start off by having a vague idea of whats going on, and then choose the most positive possible view point and go with it. " Sure he touched his sister over her clothes, she was his age and they (implying it was mutual} were just experimenting! It happened only once! and he apologized! (once, and nothing happened after that) Its all a liberal attack!" From that point you have to slowly point out each and every single part of the conversation he got wrong, as if you just info dumped him everything that actually happened, he could smuggly say you have an agenda, or think to much about it. And even after you very slowly point every single aspect of the case, a fundie could always say "Jesus forgives!" . And apparently any and all criticism is forfeit at that point. So really, if anyone is defending the duggers in any sense of the word, its best just to ignore them, and there is quite literally nothing to sway them from their view point, and considering the starting point is incestuous underage molestation, that is saying alot. What are you even talking about

drat IT people! So this whole scandal has made me aware of the Duggar family. While many people were thrilled to have a reason to slander the family, using them as a proxy for all of Christinity, I thought I would hold my judgement until looking into s bit more. There are unfortunately people who've got a bone to pick with Christians and will take any chance they get to hurl as much vitriol as they can at anything they believe represents the faith. I think this has contributed to the ridiculous outcry that has resulted from this. This thread is full if he most hyperbolic and outlandish slander aimed at the Duggars and sadly much of it is not in jest but rather representative of people's actual thoughts and beliefs. I felt it was necessary to first and foremost consider the perspectives of the victims, who gave a full interview on the topic. I thought that was rather illuminating. I'm the hope of learning even more about the Duggar family from their own point of view (I'm a fan of Primary Sources) I decided to watch some of the show, starting from the first episode. Now I see it's been purged from the Internet, taken down from Hulu or any other source This is obviously an attention getting family but now all their shows are inaccessible because of this? I'm pissed
