Re: toddlers,
Was there ever a mention of the victims' ages at the time when this occurred? I guess I just assumed that the victims in question were the oldest sisters, since it mentioned one of them was reading a book, so I assumed the victims were maybe between 10-12 years at the time and not sisters who would have been toddler age at the time.

Things must be desperate now in the House of Duggar, worrying that the tainted gravy train might have finally come to an end.

Just a few odds and ends that never get explained with the Duggars:

I never understood the hypocrisy of the Duggars hooking up with TLC in the first place. TLC and the Duggars...talk about strange bedfellows. Of course, back then when this show first started, maybe TLC was not the trash fest that it is now. But the Duggars have certainly continued to stay with TLC and I assume they've renewed their contracts long after they knew the road TLC was on.

Of all entities for this conservative fundie famblee to hook up with, they get in bed with TLC.

I know their religion dictates that they become self sufficient by earning an income working for themselves rather than working for someone else. I don't know if the official reasoning behind that is purely financial or if it's because thou shalt not work for any of the evil sinners in today's evil culture.

That said, why would the Duggars continue to stay with TLC when TLC has long since stopped being a learning atmosphere and long ago morphed into a freak show with all kinds of trashy people exhibiting everything the Duggars and their religion think is so awful: swearing, nudity, children out of wedlock, drugs, drinking, and every other vice that the Duggars and their religion preach against?

Perhaps the official reason is that the Duggars wanted to provide a holy roller example for all of us evil people out there so that we didn't succumb to the evils of the culture being promoted on other TLC programming. JimBob was a state representative at one time. He wasn't as insulated and sheltered from how society works as his kyds are (or at least, were). He all along knew perfectly well what TLC was about, and so did his Gothard mothership.

I guess they just needed or wanted the money. It had to have been purely about getting money for the Duggars and for the Gothard HQ, which it has been mentioned was losing lots of money for a long time.

Another reason they're with TLC, of all things....I think, despite claiming that they're not going to succumb to the evils of the culture, that at the end of the day, the Duggars are not so immune from good old famewhoredom after all.

Since before the show came along, JimBob has supposedly owned several cell towers and has been somehow in the real estate business, renting out commercial properties in whatever capacity, but it must not have been a big enough income, so they needed money from the show. I read somewhere that they were in the process of building this house for years, but it never came to fruition until the TLC money finally came along.

How about the kids' incomes from this show. I wonder about all the money the parents should have set aside for each of the kids, money they each should have earned all these years from participating on the show.

The money probably all goes back into JimBob's commercial real estate ventures and the household living expenses. However, does anyone know if, legally, was JimBob required to be putting money in a trust for each of them all these years? And once the kids each reach a certain age, like 18, would the network be required to have the kids sign their own contracts so they can earn their own money?

I;m just thinking about trusts for them, and direct income once they reach 18, that could be their Escape Money. Unless of course they're so indoctrinated that they follow in line like good little cult robots and marry early to another equally fundy fundie and breed like cockroaches so that they remain fully entrenched in the cult's clutches, no matter how much money in whatever obscure trust ever comes their way.

Something else that's always bothered me...the bedrooms. Even without the idea of sexual abuse, it's so wrong to me to have common sleeping rooms for both genders, toadlers through adults, and make them all live in the same room. I don't know about the boys' room, but at least in the case of the girls, the older girls can't have their own beds; they each have to have a little girl sharing their bed.

Teenagers and now fully-grown men and women having to still share bedrooms with toadlers, And their fans see nothing wrong with this for healthy development. Even without the sex abuse aspect. WTH? I've heard the Duggars say Oh, but the kyyyyyds WANTED it that way; they all wanted to room together!

I can see well-indoctrinated stepford robot kyds saying that because they know it's what they're supposed to say and they don't know how to think for themselves. And I know it's common in many cultures for famblees to all live in one room together and all share the same sleeping quarters, but the Duggars are completely unassociated with any of those cultures.

I've also wondered today about CPS, and will they be investigating Josh's household and the main Duggar household. And why doesn't CPS ever raid those strange indoctrination "camps" the kids get sent to both at the HQ in Chicago and at the "emergency responder" (it's part of their religion...WTF?) camps in Texas or wherever they conduct them.

They're taught fear and submission early with "blanket training." This is apparently some kind of highly-recommended and popular training method with the cult, written by some backwoods couple who is a member of the cult, which teaches parunts to start early with their kids by putting an infant on his blanket and then deliberately tempt him with a toy or bottle, and when he crawls off the blanket to reach for it, you smack him. WTF.
