Dearest Duggar family, our family is praying for your family. May God give you strength and peace. You are a blessing to so many. Hang in there. God bless...
ReplyDeleteYes, amen.
DeleteIf the Duggar want to do the right thing I suggest they donate any money they receive for these interviews to a non profit organization that serves and,assists victims of child sexually abuse. How about it Mr and,Mrs Duggar?
DeletePrayers to your family and hope your show stays on the air! It's such an inspiring show and so many other shows are full of sin! I pray for good things to come your way! God bless you all and thanks to your wonderful family giving us hope!!!
DeleteI doubt very much that Fox pays for interviews.
DeleteHonestly I was very surprised by the news of this mistake that was made 12 years ago although it was not right they took the right steps and obviously it changed josh and made him a better person. This has gone way to far there have been alot of people and news sources who have been on a witch hunt to find something against this family who are godly and good and have there own brliegs as they should have the right as everyone else has that right too I hope by them doing this interview it shuts down all of the negative press. Please don't take away one of the shows I can let my children watch as it is one of my favorites I want them to have good role models in this very dark world that are good and although I.made mistakes when I was younger I don't want my children making those same mistakes something neefs to be done to save this show and to help this family to get over something they went through years ago and had already moved on with all there lives god bless the duggars!
DeleteHalf of the players in the NFL are criminals and there is no chance that's being pulled off the air. Our society can look past pretty much anything for professional sports because what would people do if they didn't have it to enjoy? 19 kids is entertainment too, which many people/families love- if muderers and wife beaters can be on prime time, the duggars can stay on TLC.
DeleteI totally agree!
DeleteWell said! ❤
DeleteMark. I believe they have already done the right thing. I don't think it is any of our business what they do with their money. Did anyone ask Rihanna what she did with all of her money when Chris Brown beat her up.? Or vice versa? No one seems to ask these questions about other celebrity.
DeleteI love all your family I laugh and cry with you I thank God for you and testimony . Stay encourage if God Before you who can be against you. Josh we love you we all have done things we are ashamed of in life remember God is the glory and the lifter of your head and we are to give God thanks in all things just give thanks with all your heart to God and God will help. Love You all God Bless Laura
DeleteMark, They will need the money because it will be very hard for them to get jobs following these revelations.....if you own a small business, it's your good reputation that makes people want to do business with you. If you interview to work for someone your reputation proceeds you. Will there be enough people to do business with or hire the family members....especially the men???
DeletePrayers
ReplyDeleteFINALLY THEY GET TO SPEAK. NOBODY DEFENDS SIN--but shouldn't we all defend FORGIVENESS? GOD BLESS YOU DUGGARS.
ReplyDeleteAmen
DeleteAMEN!!
DeleteAmen!
DeleteAmen to that!
DeleteI support the Duggar family - sad that TLC is not doing the same
ReplyDeleteI agree!
DeleteI argee!!!!
DeleteHe did it 10 years ago... Has anyone heard the saying move on or forgive well the media hasn't. Duggars we support you and love you...keeping you on our thoughts and prayers
DeleteAgreed!
DeleteTotally agree 100%!
DeleteI agree. Tlc should support them
DeleteAs fan of the show I think everyone need counseling to work through the situation and the child of molestation I hope the show stay on the air
DeleteI feel sorry for every one involved in this situation....to have to relive this all over again....
ReplyDeleteI support the duggars, and believe in forgiveness, where would we all be without God's mercy and forgiveness. we all make foolish choices at 14, but not everyone owns up to them like josh has. I hope and pray their show, 19 kids and counting, stays on the air. it's the only show worth watching on television.
ReplyDeleteGreat review
DeleteMay God lead their words as they break their silence and explain to this fallen world what happened. We all receive new mercies each day, may the public that is sin free cast the first stone. The Duggars are an amazing family.
ReplyDeleteIn agreement. Amen.
DeleteIf only the Duggars operated with that same belief.
DeleteI love the Duggars and hope TLC will bring back the show. This has an opportunity to show the world how Christians can walk through difficult times with love, grace, mercy and forgiveness. That's a message of Hope we all need.
ReplyDeleteWhat Trisha said. TLC BRING THEM BACK.
DeleteWORD! What Trisha said - Amen! Bring them back!!
DeletePrayers...
ReplyDeleteI just want you to know that I am praying for your family and for Josh! Jesus came so that we would be forgiven and he is. Please be encouraged by those of us who do still love you all. I am not a stocker but after watching your show all of these years, I feel like I know you. We are all Gods children and his grace is abundant. Live in that and don't let the ugliness eat at you!! Thank you for your example! God bless!! Sharon Meisch from Kingman Arizona
ReplyDeleteEvery family has problems. And with 19 kids, I'm sure you have more than most of us. To take your son to the police had to be one of the hardest things you've probably ever done. That took courage and character. I hope TLC brings your show back. You are an inspiration to so many and the world could learn a lot by watching. Praying for your family.
ReplyDeleteI support the Duggar family and pray that TLC brings them back.
ReplyDeleteI Support The Duggers and shame on TLC if I was them change networks I will watch you and your family. Prayers for entire family.
ReplyDeleteIt has saddened me to see how people will jump in that were not there and become so judgmental and mean. I pray for your family and wish this had stayed a private matter. It would be one thing if those that felt victimized came forward feeling that they weren't appropriately apoligized to but they are the only ones who have a voice that should be heard. Josh and Anna, you are good people who have been forced to walk with wolves, they are the ones that should atone now. I just can't imagine how I would have handled it as we are imperfect people.
ReplyDeleteWish I could click "like" because I like all 7 comments above. Praying for your all of your family daily.
ReplyDeleteAnna , hope you are doing fine with the baby, it must be very difficult for you right now. Hopes and prayers for you and all the family.
ReplyDeleteI love the Duggars and hope TLC will bring back the show. This has an opportunity to show the world how Christians can walk through difficult times with love, grace, mercy and forgiveness. That's a message of Hope we all need.
ReplyDeleteAmen. I hope their show gets to stay on TLC.
ReplyDeleteI support you and pray for all of you...I pray for God's healing ! He's already forgiven a long time ago...bring them back on tv. Shame on tlc and all unforgiving people. I just hope u will all find Jesus yourselves before it's too late.
ReplyDeleteI was not really a fan of the Duggar's... until now!
ReplyDeletePraying for the Duggars. They are, despite what happened a wonderful Christian family who have influenced millions in positive ways. They should not be punished for any sins of their son, and who is repentant and has moved on to live a life of integrity. They also should not be judged or punished for how they handled the situation when it happened. They did what they felt would help their son best. Praying for healing and blessings. God will turn this around, they have nothing to fear, and He will bring victory and things greater out of this situation, that I am sure of!
ReplyDeleteMy heart is heavy for them....It's one of those times when I wish they were my friends or my neighbors so I could just go next door and hug them and pray for them..... My message to them is simply...NO WEAPON FORMED AGAINST YOU WILL PROSPER .... <3 this family....
ReplyDeleteI am glad they are getting to speak for their side. BUT, everyone knows that there are people that are out there that will still bad mouth no matter what they said.
ReplyDeleteI feel sorry for the everyone involved in this mess reliving all the details has to be tough. Maybe The Duggars will explain things in these interviews. No matter if the show stays on or not, I hope the out come is whats best for everyone involved. If its Gods will to keep the show, maybe it will continue.
ReplyDeleteI am praying for you and your family. Our extended family has had its share of surprises, including a story similar to yours. Keep praying and moving forward, and don't let what other people say drag you down.
ReplyDeleteWe love the Duggars. Praying for all of you. We practice love, mercy and grace. We believe in being objective and family privacy. We pray you return to TLC.
ReplyDeleteFinally we get to hear the duggers side of the whole situation! I support you guys in your walk and I'm very sorry that TLC pulled the plug on the show. It seems a bit premature of TLC because now you can't tell america your side and most of us have watch only from TLC. God bless you Diggers! I will continue to pray for your family! :)
ReplyDeleteHolding your entire family up in prayer. Trusting the God is in control. We love you and appreciate your willingness to share/live your faith.
ReplyDeleteThey should be quiet and stay away from the limelight. It will make everything worse...
ReplyDeleteHolding your entire family up in prayer. Trusting the God is in control. We love you and appreciate your willingness to share/live your faith.
ReplyDeleteI am praying daily for your family. I think Josh has been very brave with this, a lot of people would have lied their way out. I have no use for TLC , evidently they don't believe in letting past mistakes stay in the past.
ReplyDeleteMy prayers will continue to cover over this family, and the victims in this time. Thank you for the updates. Love this family and I am thankful for the encouragement they have shared with me. We all have our struggles and weaknesses, I believe that the blood of Jesus Covers a Multitude of Sins and I will spend eternity with Him and those who believe the same!
ReplyDeleteStay strong ride out this storm. I pray Jesus puts a hedge of prayer around your familyp, During these hard times. Amen
ReplyDeleteSomehow I know they all will come through this okay. I support the Duggars. God brings us through things for a reason. Hang in there Duggars. :))
ReplyDeleteMy husband and I were very sorry that this happened.
ReplyDeleteWe are praying for all of you!
We hope the show comes back!
Our family supports the Duggar family!
ReplyDeleteI agree with Trisha . So glad to hear Megyn Kelly will be interviewing Michelle and Jim Bob . It is time someone listens to them . What happen is a horrible thing but I don't think TLC should have taken the show off the air . To me taking off the segments with Josh and Anna off the air until everything clears up . Megyn is a very good reporter and she will do a good job in getting everything out in the open . God Bless the Duggars .
ReplyDeleteYay!!!!
ReplyDeleteGod forgives us for our many sins I think we should be forgiving too. I know that God has forgiven Josh TLC you have many many people that watch this show you know that or they would have been taken off the air long ago, 12 years after this happened is a little late I think.Josh told Anna and her family about it before they were married I believe this should be left in the pass
ReplyDeleteAmerica NEEDS more programs like your's, Duggars! You truly live your faith, demonstrating how to overcome extremely difficult times in your lives. You teach your children to serve others, be productive, self sufficient citizens, showing compassion for those less fortunate. Jim Bob and Michelle are exemplary models of marriage and parenting. There are WAY too many other programs that portray society's acceptance of selfishness, rudeness, impropriety, emotional and physical harm to others. I dare say there aren't too many of us that have not done things in our teens we deeply regret.
ReplyDeleteZep.3.17 The Lord thy God in the midst of thee is mighty; he will save, he will rejoice over thee with joy; he will rest in his love, he will joy over thee with singing.
Annette very well spoken and Zeph. 3:17 is one of my favorite verses
DeleteI think another good verse in times like these is Exodus 14:14 "The Lord will fight for you, you need only be still."
DeleteHe who is without sin, cast the first stone.
ReplyDeleteI will always give the Duggars my full support. Yes, what happened to forgiveness. I think TLC has made a mistake taking them off the air. I looked forward to watching them every week. I am so sick over it, that I will not watch the TLC channel anymore until they bring back the Duggars.
ReplyDeleteI support forgiveness and I support the Duggar's I hope that TLC brings the show back, but if not I sure hope the spin off show it not on TLC cause I will not support TLC......God bless the Duggars
ReplyDeleteI support the Duggars. He was only a child. Got forgives everyone one by dying on the cross for us.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to watch this and I'm so happy that Fox News is letting them tell their side and their story...as Christians we should forgive!
ReplyDeletepraying for your family. i hope yall will come back on tv
ReplyDeleteContinued prayers for your family. A coworker and I were discussing the situation this week and she said if people are true followers of Christ then the Lord will take care of the situation. I have to hold to that faith that God has your backs.
ReplyDeleteI really believe that God will use this hard time to show that God Does indeed forgive! Josh was 14 should have known better but he also had guts to tell his father the truth.. He knew He had to face those Consequences..This family truly tries to live for God!! A Family that prays together stays together!
ReplyDeleteTo Jim-Bob, Michelle, and the kids,
ReplyDeleteWhat you are going through right now is not easy, but we have been praying for you and we hope that once this is addressed and some time passed that we will be able to see you on television again spreading your messages of love, God, and family to America. We are standing with you and your family in support that you have every right to do what is best for you. Despite everything, we still love you and what you stand for. Everyone makes mistakes, but there is forgiveness in the world and in God's teachings. I know people are using this to tarnish your reputation and lifestyle, but God will always prevail in the end. We are thinking of you in this time of need and will continue to support you and your family's practices in the future.
I am a Christian. Forgiveness is between Josh and God. That said, molestation of siblings is NOT a normal part of adolescence. TLC is right to step aside and let the Duggars deal with their issues. The show should stay off the air.
ReplyDeleteI love this family and I'm backing y'all up! I don't get why others hate this family or want them off because of what their views.... That is their choice and they never force anyone else to believe it. What harm are they doing but nothing.
ReplyDeletePrayers to the Dugger we love yall and will pray for yall hope one day we will meet!!!
ReplyDeleteanonymous...how can one guy support 19 children when I cant support 3 children, what kid of work does he have
ReplyDeleteYou are all in my prayers. Stay strong in your faith.
ReplyDelete@Cindy GokeyAmen, well said and I agree. God bless this family in this very difficult chapter.
ReplyDeleteBoycott TLC !! Bring back the Duggars
ReplyDeleteDear Duggars. I've had such incidences happen in my own family (both as a child and an adult). I believe you handled it the best way you knew how and I'm ashamed at the people out there that can only see what they want to and not take into consideration the sensitivities and individual needs of EVERY family and EVERY individual in EACH family. I'm even more saddened that you feel the need to air yourself and your children's private lives and additional emotional turmoil to others who continue to bash you, when unless in the exact same situation and the exact same family personalities and needs, have NO way of truly knowing how they would handle it. HUGS and MANY prayers!! Keep on marching On in HIS guidance and truth!
ReplyDeleteIt is during life's storms that our faith in God is tested the most. YOU WILL EMERGE FROM THIS VICTORIOUS AND STRONGER THAN EVER! Hang in there, Duggar Family! My thoughts and prayers are with you.
ReplyDelete@Anonymous
ReplyDeleteMaybe if nothing else they can start some kind of fund to help them keep their blog and media going outside of TLC:)
They can't break such a strong, wonderful family. I even miss previews for upcoming shows. They have to bring the show back.
ReplyDeleteWe are praying for your family. What was meant for evil to be for good!
ReplyDeleteI support the Duggar family!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you!!! Finally we get to hear the other side of the story!! I think condemning before both sides are heard is unfair and premature at best. God be with you Duggars
ReplyDeletePraying for you Duggar Family you are a inspiration to so many people and the enemy will do all he can to steal kill and destroy families and destroy your joy
ReplyDeleteAs humans we all make mistakes and we all sin. Never once have I ever heard any of the Duggar say that they are perfect or sinless. I will never understand why people feel if necessary to find something in someone's past that has already been dealt with and drag it up. Does it make you feel better to hurt someone else. Who made you God and gave you the right to judge someone else. I for one will quit watching TLC if the do decide to completely drop the show. I am praying for the family as they endure this issue once again.
ReplyDeleteTotally aagree
ReplyDeleteGlad they will be in Fox. Heard Dr. Phil wsnted to have them on the his show. I was hoping that would not happen. Praying for you!
ReplyDeleteI support the Duggers everyone makes mistakes one time in life. But it is not up to us to pass judgment he asked God to forgive him and the people he hurt. He was a child they do things that don't make sense his family put their faith in God to carry them through this trying time. I don't like the fact that they were taken off the air. I like TLC but this makes no sense.
ReplyDeleteI miss you all very much.. what Josh did was wrong.. but he was only a child when he did these things.. He is a grown man now and has been forgiven by all involved.. If every family was as great as your families are this world would be a better place.. I am praying for you all.. I was moliested as a child by different adults in my family .. they were adults.. there is a difference!!..Josh should not be held liabile for something now that he did when he was a child.. Those documents from the past should of never of been made public.. I think someone whomever opened them up should be sued!.. I Love you all.. and that includes Josh.. and I am praying for you all..
ReplyDeleteYes, prayers for the Duggar family are said daily. I wish the world would remember what Jesus said, "Those that are without sin, cast the first stone." Everyone in this life has made mistakes, some horrific; but we do serve a loving and forgiving God. No one has the right to judge another; only our Father in Heaven is the judge. I pray that Josh gets the help he needs or has already received the help; so he can lead a happy, fulfilled life with his family.
ReplyDeleteGod does forgive and we should try and do the same. At the same time, this family chose to put their family in the public eye and not be forthcoming about their past. No you would never want to put your child in such a position but by portraying Christians, I think they should have been honest from the get go and shown how God have changed Josh's heart. I just worry the girls in this situation were not given the proper attention nor was Josh punished or given treatment for his perversions.
ReplyDeleteWhat punishment would you have given your son? And would you announce it to the world? It would have served no purpose. I understand he came to his parents and told them about and asked for help.
DeletePraying for the entire family. But God in His infinite mercy will give grace to face this also. We can't see "the big picture" but our Heavenly Father can. It's hard to believe Roman 8:28 could be true in this circumstance & at this difficult time, but He has promised it is for the good of His children. Just wait & see what the Lord has planned! He hasn't forsaken you, nor have your friends & viewers.
ReplyDeleteWe love you Jim Bob and Michelle, thank you for being so brave and so strong.
ReplyDeleteYour entire family has been in my prayers. You handled this situation the best you knew how 12 years agoband I am sure you will handle it with dignity now.
ReplyDeleteI support the Duggar's . continued prayers for all involved.
ReplyDeleteLegal action should have been taken
ReplyDeleteI support this family. They are a truly strong Christian family. I want to see them back on TV! Prayer for you all!
ReplyDelete"Be strong & of good courage...." So many are praying for you, thinking of you & supporting your family. You are a blessing to many.
ReplyDeleteDitto to most of the comments above! May God richly bless you as you seek to point others to the redeeming work of Christ and true forgiveness! We love you and are praying for and supporting you all they way!!
ReplyDeleteTo TLC:
ReplyDeleteWe want the Duggers back including Josh Dugger and his family
Proud of their courage. I wouldn't have said anything.
ReplyDeleteIs the the kelly file on fox as well
ReplyDeletePrayers for your family. I truly hope you come out of this. No one deserves the treatment you have gotten. Who among does have regrets for past situations. IT WAS 12 years ago. Your family has thrived since then. Obviously Josh and the girls have healed and become better people.
ReplyDeleteI support the Duggars and pray that the Lord will give them the words to speak and the audience the ears to hear their heart and that the eyes of the audiences understanding be opened up to understand the height, depth, width and depth of Christ love for us when HE hung on that cross for our transgressions. Jesus paid the price for the forgiveness of our sins, and had He not, then we would all be doomed for hell. It hurts my heart to hear all the negative opinions coming from people especially those who profess to be christians, cause if they really were christians, they would understand that when we ask forgiveness that our sins are cast as far as the east is from the west and remembered no more. Problem is, people will remind you, persecute you, and judge you, when God alone should be the only judge. I pray TLC will see that as a true christian, one who understands what it is to know that the old man has passed away and being born again unto righteousness really will take this into consideration and see that the Josh that did those things is dead already. Josh asked for forgiveness and he received it also. You know what the greatest thing about this is that Josh understands that he is not the person he used to be. None of us are if you confess you are a child of God. I wonder how many of the audience out there have things in their own lives that has been covered under the Blood of Jesus and would rather that our past be just that, our past. This should have never been brought out, but since it was, I know that the Lord will give the Duggars the strength and courage and what the devil meant for evil to try to destroy this family, will be turned around for their good. Maybe this will help someone else see that no matter how bad a sin you may commit, God can and will forgive you if you ask it of Him. I love the Duggars and pray for them daily.
ReplyDeleteWell said, Amen.
DeleteI love the duggars I don't miss an episode
ReplyDeleteIt is about forgiveness. They have let us on on their lives for many years and we've watched them all grow and for the older ones become mature adults with families of there own. I hope that for the duggars, they bring back the show. I have a special needs daughter who loves to watch the kids and all that is happening. God bless you all.
ReplyDeleteGod bless the family-if god forgives why can't people it truly is the. Best show on tlc- may god guide you through this love and forgiveness. Mimi estes
ReplyDeleteI hope and pray that the show is not cancelled. I love watching the show Jessa & Ben , Jill & Derrick all the. Other kids .they are not on welfare are not on food stamps down to earth. The law did not arrest Josh years ago why? So why are you hitting the news now? There has to be a reason why this was brought up now? Josh works go to church loves his kids loves his wife so why something that may or may not had happened 10-15 year ago be brought up now? I hope they come back on tv I will dearly miss them my prayers go out to them!
ReplyDeleteI love your family and your faith. I am sorry that you are having to relive this trying time in your past. I believe that because Josh confessed with his mouth and owned up to his misdeeds, GOD has forgiven and forgotten. I truly believe Josh is a better man now because of what he learned from this ordeal. I support all of you and I am praying that God will turn this into a blessing for others who have had similar issues.
ReplyDeleteI agree with anonymous 10. No matter what the Duggars say, it will be used against them. they have already been judged. It will only make matters worse. They should just wait it out and see what happens. In the meantime I will be praying for them. I will also be contacting the companies who have pulled their support and letting them know that I will not be supporting them anymore.
ReplyDeleteMy heartfelt prayers go out to the Duggars as what is happening is awful. I am glad they can defend themselves and set the record strait and hopefully stop all the negativity going around now.
ReplyDeleteI support the entire Duggar Family i hope it goes well despite what has happened they are good people
ReplyDeleteI pray for the whole family. This affects everyone.
ReplyDelete@Cindy GokeyAmen!!! What so many fail to understand is forgiveness is a command from God.
ReplyDeleteAm praying for your family to have the strength to keep strong in your family. I hope Josh and Anna stay strong in the Lord to stay together as a family. This is sad situation that should have never been published. It is sad that you have to go on tv to talk on a very private situation that has already been addressed. God Bless you and your family. I sincerely hope the girls names are not released.
ReplyDeleteI stand behind the Duggar family. TLC should keep the show on the air. PRAYING for all involved.

ReplyDeleteTheir family. Their business. Just wish they wouldn't have covered it up for so long and only seeker 'help' for the offender and not the victims...but I will try to remain unbiased and hear them out.
ReplyDeletePraying for the family! I also pray that the show will be back on the air!
ReplyDeleteHave been praying for all of you since this broke. As a victim myself I fully understand the need of forgiveness in this. If you don't it will eat you alive. You never forget but once you forgive you can move on with your own life.
ReplyDeleteI love you guys, I think your a great family with great morals will be praying 4 you, hope this will go away really fast. may God bless you always. Maria G
ReplyDeleteI'm so happy to hear they are having this interview. One thing about the Duggars, we all know how honest and humble they are. They will tell the whole truth. They are constantly in my thoughts and prayers. I support them all the way. They are human just like all of us.
ReplyDeleteI support the Duggars I hope TLC do as well.good luck Duggars from England
ReplyDeleteI love y'all very much! I pray TLC, will put your show back on. God bless you! If not TLC, perhaps someone else! :) Love y'all! <3 Hugs! God bless you Josh and all!!!
ReplyDeletedear dugger family. first of all I love ur all show . I watch it every chance I get too. I watch the kardahians show too . what ever happen in the past. I am sure u all will get past this whatever is coming out of the blue. I am voting for u all and hope the tlc channel will put u all on tv again . its just not the same. like it says people shouldn't judges other and there shall be forgiveness. everyone makes mistakes.and no one is every perfect
ReplyDeleteI am so glad that the Duggars are given this chance. TLC, you did a lot for this family and now you are denying them. You do realize they have done a lot for you and your ratings over the years. Not to mention the sponsors. I pray for God's perfect outcome in this situation.
ReplyDeleteIt comes down to when you make a mistake is redemption possible? Those who believe in that will forgive those who don't will not. I'm looking forward to hear what the Duggars have to say.
ReplyDeleteDear Duggar family, I am praying daily for you all. Praying for strength, encouragement, protection and for God to prevail in this situation. God is on your side, who can stand against you! God Bless you all!!!
ReplyDeleteRegardless of what happens after this interview, only God knows. Some people don't like Fox news bit the reality is, it's the only channel that seeks to stick to the facts, do proper interviews and not push the far left ideology most networks do. I'm praying for the Duggars and hope they come back on, that includes Josh. I've said it before that he is a fine example of a Godly Man and influence to a young man like me. So is Ben, and Derrick, and yes even Jim Bob. A genuine Christian will want to learn from someone who is a Solid unapologetic, Sincere Brother or A sister in Christ no matter if they are in the public eye or not.
ReplyDeleteI love the Duggar Family and they have my full support. I pray for you all and pray God's blessings on you. Please keep us updated on everything happening to your wonderful family!
ReplyDeleteOur family is standing with you and your family in prayer. Isaiah 51:12 Thessalonians 1:2
ReplyDeletePraying. Love you all.
ReplyDeleteBring the Duggars back TLC I will not watch your channel anymore if they are cancelled. You have all kinds of garbage on Tv and for you to take a show off the air because of something that happened 12 yrs ago is ridiculous. He was a child himself ,Yes he was wrong in more than one way, God is our judge not man. I'm sure their are other so called stars that have made mistakes and done things they are not proud of its about forgiveness and love the world needs more forgiveness and love in it. Bring back the Duggars TLC its wrong what you are doing!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI love the duggar family and miss there showand needs to be put back on the air so we can watch it again I miss Jessa and Ben and Jill and derrick and the baby
ReplyDeletePrayers for you all. You have a lot of people who are praying for you and the power of prayer is amazing. God bless you all.
ReplyDelete@Mark Elliott Agreed. They are no doubt being paid handsomely for their interview. I am still bothered by the fact that Josh won't sit down and plainly speak about what he did and how he and his family became closer to God and stronger as a result. We know what Jim Bob and Michelle did, but I want Josh to give us his testament.
ReplyDeleteI wonder what they can really say that won't just be pouring gasoline on the fire... the comets on the news media sites are merciless! People seem to have a pretty good idea what they are going to say and have already made up their minds against the Duggars....
DeleteIt would be good to hear it straight from him....but who would grant him a fair interview?
DeletePrayers and love. We believe in you. He was a child. God is a gracious God. He is a forgiving God. The evil one is attaching your family through this stupidity.
ReplyDelete@Anonymous
ReplyDeleteAgree.
Duggar family, I am praying for God's will for your situation and that He will surround you all with His peace, love and grace.
ReplyDeleteWe can forgive Josh and his parents all we want, but that doesn't mean this was handled properly, especially by a family who thrust themselves into being public figures. Did Josh receive treatment from a qualified professional? Did his victims receive counseling from a qualified professional? I am praying that is those things have not already happened, then they will soon. I hope my comments are posted, as I have tried to be respectful in voicing my opinions.
ReplyDeleteALL MY PRAYS ARE WITH YOUR WHOLE FAMILY. AND MY GOD TOUCH OTHERS WHO SPEAK WITH HATRED AND I ASK GOD TO TOUCH ALL THEIRS AS YOUR FAMILY GOES THROUGH THIS WHOLE ORDEAL.
ReplyDeleteTHANK YOU Lord. I'm so glad they are doing this. I knew they would want the world to hear their side. I thought it would be weeks or months. I'm sure the family is hurt at TLC and sponsors . I would never use those commericals again. But I'm glad their using the news media to show people their not selling their story for thousands of dollar. God Bless
ReplyDeleteI want to see a balanced interview with all questions answered. Why won't Josh sit down for interview
ReplyDeleteI love your family! Everyone has made mistakes in their life. Not a reason to "poo poo" you. Keep doing what you know and love! I will always support you for that:) I only wish I knew sooner about why courtship is the "way". Thank you for bringing this to my attention.
ReplyDeleteI am praying for your family! God is faithful!
ReplyDeleteAlthough we don't have cable TV, I will find a way to watch this two-part interview. I am relieved that the family will finally speak out and hopefully help clear some of the misinformation floating around by the media.
ReplyDeletewe love you, we miss you ,we support your family and we're praying for you!
ReplyDeleteHardly a day passes that you're not in my thoughts and prayers. I've come to love your family & I delight in your program. I'm heartsick to see how you're being treated on so many media fronts; and by those who seem to think they're entitled to taunts. Sad. I am grateful you'll have this opportunity to speak on behalf of your family. I pray God uses the whole of this chapter for your joy and His glory. You know He will!
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
Kathleen
I won't be watching TLC until the Duggars are back on. Apparently no one that works for TLC ever made a mistake when they were teenagers, or even as adults. They think that they are all perfect and can judge others. But IF their lives were broadcast everywhere, THEY would sure want forgiveness and mercy.
ReplyDeletePraying for wisdom for the Duggars as they face the public and make plans for the future.
ReplyDeleteChildren have a right to privacy and not have their transgressions all over the media. If TLC doesn't put them back on the air, I will boycott all their TV stations and advertisers. As to the rest of you, mind you business/
ReplyDeleteSpecial prayers and hugs for Josh, Anna, and their dear family. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
ReplyDeletePrayers are with you all. Looking forward to the show. God bless you all.
ReplyDeleteWe all sin and come short of the glory of God. But, because of his love to the world, he forgives and restores lives. He who has no sin, throw out the first stone.
ReplyDeletePraying for your family the devil is fighting so hard. All families have skeletons. My son was on the receiving side and God helped us thru. He will help you all thru it. It's hard to go thru but until all these people that are negative deal with it and also understand God's love and forgiveness they will never understand and the devil is going to use it. God bless you all.
ReplyDeleteStay strong Duggar family. how many times I have lived by the saying that God will not give you any more than you can handle and how true that has always been. I love the show and your family and yes Josh did some things he shouldn't have but he has admitted his shame and asked forgiveness. Just leave it along now
ReplyDeleteThey should grant you an interview.....to be read right here. :)
ReplyDeleteGod Bless You Duggars!!
ReplyDeleteI think that this whole ordeal has been blown way out of proportion. Yes, it was wrong and yes it never should have happened but that doesn't mean that this is something the whole world should know. Josh sought out forgiveness and was given it, therefore I don't think this even deserves to be talked about anymore. It happened 12 years ago! You know how many things like this are happening TODAY? How many "famous" people are doing stuff just as bad or worse? I find it sad that people have to judge the Duggars so harshly! I will be severely dissapointed if TLC cancels 19 Kids. I am praying for them! Stay strong, Duggars! :-)
ReplyDeleteMy family including my grand children all love you guys! Everyone has something, who are we to judge? Please realize there are many many people praying for you all!
ReplyDeleteGod Bless You Duggars!!!
ReplyDeleteI am glad the Duggars are going to speak. Hopefully it will clear up anything that got twisted in the media. I pray for the Duggars that they can use this matter to strengthen them. I miss seeing them on TV. I have been watching them since 2008, it has been fun to see the kids grow up and some get married and now the grandchildren are being born. Keep your heads high and just know you still have a big fan base that wants to see your family on TV and cares about you. I hope TLC will keep your show on the air and if not hopefully someone else will pick it up. I also hope that Josh and his family can be filmed as it seems like he has changed for the good, being a loving husband and loving father this is where forgiveness comes in.
ReplyDeletePrayers for all of you. To quote from my favorite movie "The past is in the past, Let it go!" Which is what everyone should do. God forgave Josh and that's all that matters in the end anyway.
ReplyDeleteAs a female child who was abused by a family member myself, I couldn't agree with you more Mr. Elliott. I see so much concern for your son, and little to none for your daughters. That really bothers me.
ReplyDeleteI will be praying for you as interview with fox news. Forgiveness and moving forward is hard for people to understand and I believe can only be understood and experienced with the love of Jesus in your life. My heart has been broken for all of you since this news was exposed. I too have had a similar incident with a family member. I have been through all the emotions and have even had people that will no longer have anything to do with me because of what someone in my family did. God's love is so much bigger than all that. I know He is with you and I know that your family has Him in your lives. Praying you will have perfect peace with your interview. Blessings, a wife, mom and grandma.
ReplyDeleteGod bless the Duggar family and same on whoever dug all this heartache
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear about the interview. Hoping they will share that the victims received what they needed. This is not only about Josh, this is about the victims too.
ReplyDeleteYears ago there we no "Qualified Professionals & yet we all grew up just fine & went the straight & narrow way. They did the best they could in a difficult situation & if they felt this was what God wanted them to do who are we to judge them or any one else... Just because his sin is different than our sins? I know from God's word that is not the way He would forgive.... He forgave Moses for killing & used him to do great things..... Moses received no 'Professional" Help just God's help!! It is what we all need now! You have a wonderful family & I am proud of the way all of you try to enrich others lives! God Bless You all, always!
ReplyDeleteA lot will depend on the content and honesty of the interview answers. I hope it won't be a scripted
ReplyDeleteinterview and that it will be done with dignity for all involved. I will be praying for them this week.
Praying for your family!
ReplyDelete@Jan RodriguezI agree that leaving Josh and Anna off might help in the short term.People are out for blood though.I wonder how many were ever abused themselves.You have to forgive,Not forget any time soon.That is the only way to live a halfway normal life.
ReplyDeleteCould you please post recaps of both? I would love to find out what they say! If not, that's fine thank you for all the hard work you do.
ReplyDeleteThe mass exodus of sponsors forced TLC to pull the plug on reruns .... we can only hope that the network will come up with a compromise that will attract new sponsors and perhaps positively sway those who have pulled their support. I am very happy to hear that Michelle and Jim Bob have decided to do an interview. Silence is not always golden. It is time to reign in the misinformation and negative press. May God bless the entire family during this difficult time.
ReplyDeleteI too am praying for all involved -- I love the Duggar family - and hope the show is not cancelled, and I thank Fox news for giving the Duggars the opportunity to share, unfortunately those who do not yet know Christ as their personal Lord and Savior are blinded to the truth, they do not have eyes to see or ears to hear, hoping with all of my heart that TLC will bring them back this fall ( ...
ReplyDeleteGod works all things together for good for those who love Him! I love you all and am lifting you up in prayer often!
ReplyDeleteI agree
ReplyDelete@kimann115 Are you not boycotting TLC? You mentioned you miss seeing previews for their show.
ReplyDeleteI also support the Duggar family l and am praying that God gives them the strength to overcome this ordeal. I do not understand why a person of trust can expose a minors transgression with no thought to the harm and sorrow for all the family. It is also sad that Josh after owning up to what he did, getting help and becoming a responsible adult has to endure this situation again many years later. He was a boy who has now become a man and I see no reason to rehash the past. God bless each and everyone of you.
ReplyDeleteprayers for your family during this time!!
ReplyDeleteI love and miss your show! Everyone makes mistakes and I feel that its not the publics place to place judgement upon your family!!! You all have an amazing faith based family and I admire you all for that. God bless you all and prayers sent <3
ReplyDeleteAnother off topic......... ONE of my favorite 19 KaC episodes is when Jim Bob and John David made the kids a slip and slide. That looked like so much fun!!
ReplyDeletesad that this has come up when Anna is so close to delivering there 4th
ReplyDeletechild. why can't the media just leave Josh, Anna and the duggar family alone.
Forgiveness is key and I believe that the duggars have dealt with this why did social media
have to put there noses where they don't belong. I will no longer be viewing TLC
until they rehire the Duggar family!!!!!
WE CAN FORGIVE!!!!
ReplyDeleteAnonymous 86-Define "qualified professional." If you mean secular (non-Christian) counselors, they would not condemn this behavior as sin, which is what caused Josh to confess and put his faith in Jesus Christ. Josh would have been told that his feelings are natural, but need to be kept under control, blah, blah, blah. If we descended from animals, then we are entitled to behave like them and follow our natural instincts (unless man's law says otherwise). There is no wisdom in that. Biblical counseling was the only way, and if you believe the Bible as the Duggars do, then they handled it correctly.
ReplyDeleteI support the Duggars! We should not judge a family until we have walked in their shoes.
ReplyDeletePrayers, Until TLC brings you back will not watch there Channel
ReplyDeleteI support the Duggars.. I do hope their show can come back on. Praying for you all, especially Josh and Anna. Hope she is doing well through this all.
