Yup, my wife and I were saying the same thing. Had he just confessed all at first, this would be a non storyBinaca Chugger said:Yep. Really is sad to see. Addicts only admit to what has been discovered. Apparently he was not really repentant in the last round of truth.
Billy said:This is what happens in western fundy Christian culture when all the emphasis is placed on looking right, talking right, behaving right, so much focus on the outward and very little if any on a personal relationship with Christ. In stead of a honest open approach to sex with a Biblical view fundies have made it gross, sinful, unnatural.
Duggars = everything that is wrong in fundy land, and what we are seeing played out in the media is reality in every extreme fundy school, college, church, they are just doing a better job of hiding it.

Many don't want to expose porn for what it is and parents especially don't warn their children about it. They can put up all the safeguards (internet filters) they want but once they are out of the house and on their own they don't have that any more.

The Duggars quickly modified the statement to omit the confession about porn, probably because he is a known pedophile. I suspect the police/feds might want to see what is stored on Josh's computers.

...and it's posts like this that make me bring up Tullian Tchividjian. If we are going to blame a system of doctrine and practice every time one of these things happens there is plenty of blame to go around. I am weary with the constant throwing of the IFB movement under the bus.
The problem is the devil. The problem is sin. It is a world wide human problem.
Billy said:I think I read this morning a blog from the TGC about trying to shelter our kids from the world and the error we make...thought this was a great quote. "sin in not primarily something we need to be shelters from, but delivered from."
Recovering IFB said:The difference between the IFBxers and Tullian Tchividjian is that Tullian Tchividjian never claimed to be the "holy, separated" one that xer's claim to be. That's why there isn't the uproar about Tullian Tchividjian's adultery than what was made with the xer's and Duggars.
Like Sub said, you put yourself on a pedestal........
