Hey guys! I’ve been MIA again. Sorry! This
blogging thing is taking a while to get into a routine with BUT I’ve got some
great ideas for what I'd like to do. If you could just have patience with me I’d
really appreciate it!
So today, I wanted to talk about the Duggar Drama!! Now before I start I want to preface by saying that I watch 19 Kids & Counting and I follow Jill and Jessa on Instagram and I love how they have used their platform to represent Jesus Christ. Even though I like their family a lot, I can’t pretend like there isn’t a scandal going on in the news cycle. Basically, about 12 years ago Josh Duggar had an “incident” with a younger girl and from what I’ve read, it wasn’t dealt with accordingly. From the public eye it seems like they tried to sweep it under the rug, but at the same time we don’t know exactly what happened or all of the little details.
What was/is going through my head is what is going to happen with their T.V. show? How is Josh going to be dealt with? What are the repercussions that the family is going to have in the public eye? So far, TLC has pulled any 19 Kids & Counting episodes from airing, a lot of advertisers for the show has pulled their advertisements, and many fans have just been hurt because they feel as though the Duggars have been lying for years.
What do I think? I think that if
the story is true, then Josh needs to be
dealt with accordingly. Because if we allow him to get off with a warning, we
are telling people that those actions are okay as long as you are in the public
eye. It is also opening a door for people to not trust in the system and to begin
taking matters into their own hands.
Do I know what exactly happened? Do
I know what steps were taken to help Josh with his sin? No and No, but I do
know that we are to pray for everyone, especially those in need, and trust that
the truth will be sought out and the victims properly justified. ~And that's the way the cookie crumbles!~
