I am not a big believer in cash bail as I believe it penalizes the poor and (often) minorities. So I'm not going to complain about it here. (Though I'm sure there is a double-standard going on here. But the goal is to treat the poor and minorities the same as rich white people, not treat rich white people as badly as the poor and minorities.)
He'll be lucky to live through it. Child molesters are considered the worst of the worst in prison.
The Dillard's are largely estranged because of something that happened in the aftermath of their youngest sons birth. Jill had rough home births with both pregnancies and their youngest son ended up in the hospital after he was born. No one really knows exactly what happened, footage never aired and no one has ever talked about it. Because all the money from 19KAC and Counting On pretty much went through Jim Bob, Jill and Dereck didn't have the money they needed to pay for their babies hospital stay and Jim Bob wouldn't give it to them. Dereck went after TLC for the money, which they got and they've been off the show ever since. Jill was at the most recent Duggar weddings and she's been at some stuff at the house but she's not allowed in the house if Jim Bob and Michelle aren't there.
I expect he will kill himself before making it to prison.
Bingo. You guys are better at explaining what I mean than I am. I might have mentioned it upthread but don't want to make this a political discussion
That's possible and often happens with some of the cases I follow. Then their fellow pedos talk about how they didn't really have porn on their computers, just pictures of the Sprouse twins (or whoever is the hot male pre-teen now) even though they traded porn with these people.
I had forgotten about that, thank you for the warning. I only found out that people had started talking about the video this afternoon and I haven't been on Reddit much today.Trigger warning for anyone looking on this subreddit: there is a thread discussing a video that allegedly was found on Josh's computer, and even the very vague descriptions in the posts saying "don't look at this video" are horrifying. Even the name of the person who made the video has been blacked out because the video is so infamous. Josh allegedly viewed this video multiple times
Federal judges are not elected.
So, that's being "Christian" according to Jim-Bob; you must have as many babies as God gives you, but if you work for me, and one of those babies has a problem, you're on your own, don't come running to me for help.
She should divorce
A girl who went to my Protestant church growing up died in child birth. My old Church wasn’t against hospitals but she got involved in a weird cult. And died because they wouldn’t take her to the hospital.
And that has exactly WHAT to do with my point that this great "Christian" man who condemns abortion and birth control (and who only values women for their ability to produce offspring) refused to help a child AFTER it was born?????
Wait a minute I am part of the pro life movement and I don’t support that crap. I know people who run pro life organizations who do try to help women keep and support their babies.
I think it's far more likely that Josh would never be mentioned, as if he never existed.
As usual, you had to step in and bring up something that had nothing to do with the point being made. So, I responded with the point of my original post. It's SO important that a child must be born, but then way too often, the parent(s) and child are expected to struggle on their own. And as for the "organizations" you mentioned, they're the exception, not the norm.
Yes. Other inmates have mothers, children, sisters, nieces and nephews.............he will be a pariah.
Maybe, depends on how gutless he is. And the quote from Prancer below will be a very big factor if he does.
I’m a high school history teacher. This was definitely a factor—it wasn’t THE factor though. Another factor was prostitutes in England were practically a guild and exercised a lot more power than one would expect. Prostitution in early, early England was not necessarily seen as a negative. It wasn’t seen as a positive either but it was more complicated than one might expect. One way to tamp that down was to demonize prostitution. Prostitutes in Scandinavia came very close to having a legally-recognized guild which would given them immense power—it was the Church that objected. No sex before marriage was always a thing and frowned upon, but the extreme emphasis on it being solely a woman’s problem and detrimental to society came later. The early Church as it started to gain more and more political power saw unmarried women as a possible challenge to their authority and smacked it down hard.
Both of Jill's deliveries were emergency c-sections. She tried having the first at home but her labour didn't progress so she went to the hospital.
Probably not an appropriate lecture for a high school class
The pro-lifers I know constantly rage against "people keep having kids they can't afford & I end up paying for them". When I point out the alternative would be children going hungry they counter with "if they just got off their butts & got a job" without regard to the fact that low-paying jobs can't keep up with the cost of childcare. I do not consider these people fringe crazies, just heartless & selfish.

Ah thank you. I had forgotten that. I just remembered they were difficult births that didn't go well at home.
Errr...I teach at a Catholic school in the Deep South. I had a parent bitch about me to the principal because I implied dinos were real and that Muslims regarded Jesus as a prophet but not a divine figure. Our poor priest/principal was dumbfounded and had to tell her gently that the Catholic Church believes in dinosaurs (and evolution) AND Muslims believe Jesus was a prophet but not a divine figure.
Sometimes Alex the Great and his horsie. But not that! It’s a strange time to be a teacher.
As with all things education in the US, there are a lot of answers to that question, which vary by homeschoolers and by state.
