I would like to boycott whoever sponsors the Duggar programs on TLC. Does anyone know? I have written emails and I also want my voice heard where the buck stops. Thank you in advance.

I feel like I've been using my favorite perfume for years and have only just learned its made out of poop.
I also know me complaining will not help one iota unless I make sure TLC hears me. I'm off to send another email.

Blind gossip is reporting that the studio executives knew about the abuse and did nothing.

USA Today has an article "The Duggars reeling from Josh's sex abuse scandal" with a copy of police report. Its listed as a felony. I just can't wrap my head around this. How this was never prosecuted is beyond me. Talk about falling through the cracks. I don't believe Anna knew about this two years before she was married. What parent would have allowed that?
I'm disgusted. I had no idea something this bad was brewing in that house.

This whole thing is despicable. I want TLC to answer me this: YOU promoted this family. How will YOU help all those victims?

As a victim of childhood sexual molestation, it saddens me to read all the FB comments supporting the Duggars. Not to mention that the only thing required is forgiveness & all is ok. Ugh.
My parents also covered up mine & at 42, it still bothers me.
I'm so sorry for what you went through. No one should have to.

again i am a mom who tries her best and puts my kids needs ahead of my own. I said above that i would make sure my daughters received all the counseling they needed. Josh too. Right after I the holy hell out of him so that sex would be the last thing on his mind.

I actually feel sick over this.
Josh said in his statement that he and his victims received counseling. I hope to God so. As a mother i would be blaming myself that this happened to my daughters under my own roof. Nothing would get in my way to prevent those daughters from receiving All the counseling they needed. What a hypocrite receiving mother of the year award.

LOL. Jill the angelic demon, hissing at you if you dare suggest she do something differently. I wonder how the crew deals with MEchelle.
They use sign language around her.

I came across this article about Jana titled "19 kids and counting daughter announces she's leaving the show" and going to college. Not sure how true it is, but I love it!

We've discussed it in other forums, but there is one thing Michelle does well - breed and bear children. And this is a woman who has had quite a few c-sections (including her second pregnancy) and then went on to have very successful home births. I know we all kind of make fun of her for thinking she might have another or being delusional when doctors talk and she just brushes them off, but she IS really good at pregnancy and delivery. You can understand why she thinks she can beat the odds. Plus, she's never been an idiot about medical intervention. It's the one area of her life that she does take seriously.
yes, which is why I was surprised she didn't want the best medical help available to her daughter and grandchild. Leaving it to a midwife, and a home birth is something out of my comfort zone. Again, no disrespect to midwives, its not my thing. But when you really really go through child birth and you could tell Jill had a huge baby in there, wouldn't you tell her to keep an open mind to an epidural/pain relief? If nothing else to spare your daughter agony? That's my thinking.
There are so many things that can go wrong anyway. Not having the best medical care when you are millionaires and living like its the 1800's is tragic in my opinion. After all Jill had her wisdom teeth out. Why didn't she lay down on the couch and have JB pull them out with a pair of pliers? No she went to a dentist and had it done.She did take pain relief after her teeth were pulled, so what's the difference? LOL!

That is funny. The US is routinely ranked as one of the worst places in the world to give birth. There have been some recent high-profile studies out, with coverage by some of the major news outlets. Google it. We have one of the highest maternal and infant mortality rates in the WORLD. Several third-world countries beat the US when it comes to birth outcomes. Something like over 1/3 of women in the US have PTSD following their birth experience, and many many more are left with postpartum depression, anxiety, and struggle with breastfeeding due to their experience. So, I wouldnt say that puts our system of medicalized care and excessive surgery in a great light! So any mother/grandmother cares about the health and safety of their daughter and grandchildren, I wouldn't be too quick to encourage them into that system :) Jill is wise for not wanting that for herself and her baby if it could be avoided.
From what we were shown, that is exactly what they did....her water had been broken, labor not ramping up, they likely had been assessing her temps, the HR, etc all along, when it was clear things weren't progressing and there had been mec, they went to the hosp. for further assessment and to take the next steps to keep things going.
Also interesting. As ultrasounds can be off by a pound or two in either direction, that wouldn't be tremendously accurate on its own without a good physical exam, either. Even if he had been breech at that point, the baby can still turn. Did she say she had no later term ultrasound or were you assuming, since the baby turned?
And if the estimate was that it was a big baby, so what? Women have big babies all the time, much bigger than 9# 10oz. And, they often have them naturally, home or hospital, without tearing, and during short labors, and labors with normal courses. The weight alone doesn't mean much. The biggest impediment is that thought being put into their minds that their body can't do it because the baby is "too big". I'm sure we've all heard of many cases where mothers were told they had a "big baby" based on US and needed a c section, and came out a nice petite 7# :)
I live in Boston Ma with the best healthcare anywhere in the world, with doctors from Harvard, no less. I also have given birth multiple times. I know what I'm talking about with deciding on a college educated healthcare system for labor and delivery than Jill Duggars non educated mid wife approach. For my family and me there is no other choice.

That's ok, Bradandjanet. I didn't know how, or I would've moved it myself. Thanks! ;-)

I will never get over their willingness to put themselves back in the 1800's with all the danger and deaths that the pioneer women had to face. This is 2015! If the best thing you can do for your child is have a C-section, then done. My decision would've been made right then and there. It's not any kind of failure or something to be ashamed of.
I agree this was probably a nightmare for her. I wouldn't have wanted to go through it. I wonder if any kind doctor or nurse told her: you didn't have to go through all that! I have had some of the world's greatest nurses when I delivered my children, Thank God.They were a fountain of knowledge and were happy to teach me anything I didn't know that I wanted to learn. I truly hope someone said something about the future so that Jill never has to suffer that way or put her child through anything unnecessary.
As a mother, I would want the best doctors and nurses for my daughter and grandchild. I wouldn't consider a midwife in this day and age. No disrespect to midwives is meant. Isn't it ironic that the mother that delivered 19 children couldn't give her own daughter better advice?

My husband said something funny as my daughter and i were watching this episode on demand.
Husband: "isn't that kid seven years old now?"
Us : "which one"?
Husband : "the one going to be born next Tuesday"?
He doesn't read here or know anthing much about them but even he was disgusted and said that's not a "glitch". He actually said to me, is everything ok with that woman? ( meaning Michelle's mentality. ) my God, that poor girl was sobbing over the young girl having a seizure. And can I add that i would be on the warpath with any one filming my daughter in such a state. To be fair to the crew, they have jumped in to help this family time and again
Unfortunately I dont think Michelle will ever live this down. Her response is so far off there is no longer denying something wrong with her.. If your young daughter has this kind of problem, she needs to be with her parents at all times. Wherever they go.

I just posted on the other thread (Jills I think) how inappropriate and greedy their wedding gift registries are. How can you add a kayak with a straight face? Or a computer? Not just any computer but a Mac Air? I think we could start a whole new thread with this topic lol!

YES. All other information on their wedding website was locked down except for registry information. Benessa's registry information was printed on their "save the date" card as well. The estimated value of the Dillards' registries: $20K. Benessa's registries were estimated at $30,000. (Asking for a Mac Air, an iPad and a kayak will cause that dollar value to soar.)
If they weren't expecting gifts from viewers and 1700/1300 wedding guests, why allow the registries to be public?
ugh! this just made me add something to the list of things that I can't stand about the Duggars! How can someone add an mac air, ipad or kayak to a gift registry? How greedy and inappropriate is that? $30k gift registries is shameful.

I don't know. Look at what three kids in less than four years has done to Josh, and he isn't even the one birthing or taking care of them. He's what - 27 now? On a bad day he could pass for 45. Five more, including little M4, may just find him as medicated as his mother. Or worse...
I wouldn't wish that on anyone.

Somehow I'm not surprised. Her baby was in a life threatening highly traumatized state less than 2 weeks ago where she spent more than 70 hours trying to deliver and had an emergency c-section and now she's schlepping the newborn to Texas? This makes me angry, that girl has no common sense does she? My God, what sympathy I had for that bird-brained girl has gone out the window. There will be more homeschool conferences and weddings where you can catch up with your freakin fundie friends and show your baby off to in the future. What an idiot.
I agree with everything you said. I also am very angry at the stupidity of this. They are now the new parents to this baby and they have to learn to say NO when need be.

I hope you know vast numbers of Protestants know better, fully understanding that Catholics are Christians. It makes me wonder what their understanding of the word Christian is, really.

The whole thing about Catholics worshipping false idols has always bugged...we pray to our saints asking for intercession; ie: praying the Memorarae, asking Mary to intercede with her son on our behalf. He may not listen to me, but he will his mother.
absolutely!

Michelle and JimBob aka J'Chelle and Boob
in Counting On
I will remember this in a month from now. I'll never forget it. It has completely changed how I see the Duggar family. I am completely repulsed by them. I do not want to watch their show, read any books or hear how they do anything. They can't teach me any tips that I care to learn. Whereas once I thought Anna and her kids were an adorable family, I now worry if their pervert father will hurt them. I think JB and M are horrible parents for not protecting their young daughters, and making them look at Josh's sick face every day is criminal after what they went through.
Society as a whole is sickened by abuse of children and incest is especially seen as depraved by me.
