You know what, **** the people that sign this petition. I'm so sick of good, wholesome families with traditional values, such as the Duggars, Robertsons, etc. being bashed and bullied by dumb a$$es that claim to support "freedom" and "equal rights". EVERYONE is entitled to their opinion. The Duggars have every right to believe in traditional marriage and all the other values they hold dear. I love them and their show! Do I agree with everything they believe? No, but I really respect them and children and adults alike are much better off watching their show than so many others.  

kramerica - 2014-11-20 12:54 AM Good!  They are part of a religious sect that is cult-like, imho. Girls/women have one role and one role only. J-chelle is a broodmare. I have always felt so sorry for the girls especially in this family. They are treated like built in babysitters and then are expected to be broodies themselves when they turn 18. No higher education for any of these poor kids.

I agree.

BLM - 2014-11-20 10:41 AM EXACTLY! Now we are considered bigots, if we believe in traditional marriage? This is what we knew was coming. But, of course, it was just so they could "be happy" right? NO, Satan isn't  happy till he has destroyed God's version of family in society. But I have news for the non-believers, God wins. And the only real marriage is man/woman. Anything else is a farce and a sham. And it isn't "unloving" to say that. Those who deny the truth will be thrust into eternal damnation, so, if anything, those spreading the lies of "gay marriage" are the ones that are hurting the LBGT community.

Wow.  

MC1993 - 2014-11-20 10:10 AM Okay now I try to stay out of discussions like this because it really doesn't go anywhere BUT I am a firm believer in the fact that what you want to do behind close doors, as long as no one is getting hurt, is none of my business. It doesn't effect me so why should I care?! I could really care less if you are black, white, yellow, purple, tall, short, fat, skinny, into boy, into girls, into nothing...DONT CARE. I don't know why people stress out over stuff that has nothing to do with them. ...Even remotely....its their decision on who they want to sleep with, not yours and your derogatory comments get you nowhere. editied to say...I guess I am going to be "thrust into eternal damnation" oops....

SpottedT - 2014-11-20 11:03 AM The only bit I have to add to this is in regards to how they afford their family / belongings. Do research, don't assume. It's not hard to find out. Same as to anyone going on to higher education. Don't assume, do research.

BLM - 2014-11-20 12:15 PM You see, you miss the point, once again. The whole point is, "supposedly" the LBGT community has tried to turned traditional marriage into a dirty word. The Duggar shows a loving, kind traditional Godly family who hurts no one. But the "kind, loving" LBGT community is "offended" and wants it off the air. WHY? 

I also could care less if someone is "black, white,yellow,purple,tall,short, fat,skinny,into boys,into girls,into nothing" either. As long as they aren't messing with MY RIGHTS to believe what I wish to believe. But obviously the LBGT does care and are the ones raising the stink! They are the ones trying to get Duck Dynasty and the Duggars off the air because they expressed views different than their own. 

Why won't they ( or you all who are jumping down my throat for expressing what I believe to be true, that God will cast non-believers into eternal damnation)  respect those beliefs?? I whole heartedly believe what the Bible and the Church teaches on this subject. You all can chose to disbelieve and come up with your version of the truth. That is fine. But this is showing the true colors of the LBGT movement and it's hypocrisy. They aren't concern with equal protection under the law, but special priviledges, and to change the normal of what marriage really is. Sorry, but man/woman marriage IS the standard set by GOD Himself. There is ZERO mention of "gay marriage" in any scripture, because it doesn't exist. They can have their civil unions all they want, I could care less, but "redefining" marriage has gone too far. 

3canstorun - 2014-11-20 12:51 PM I believe that the Gay community has people who believe in God.  For you to say they are non believers is wrong and judgemental.  Judge not - least ye be judged.   

BLM - 2014-11-20 3:12 PM I didn't say any such thing. But, obviously, if Ithink the Biblical principles about marriage were true, well, it kind of goes without saying, I would think other beliefs were false. DUH! But your not interested in the truth, anyways. It's all about relativism, right? Once again, missing the point. WHY is it ok for the LGBT movement to try and cancel a show that portrays a wholesome, loving,kind generous, harmless family like the Duggars? 

Why is it now offensive that a show about traditional families exist? 

Why is it ok for them to have double standards. THAT is the point. 

Ask yourself that question. 

I also didn't say that everyone of them thinks that way. You are making assumptions. 

3canstorun - 2014-11-20 2:17 PM To answer your question - it is not okay for the LGBT movement to try and get a show cancelled because they don't share the same beliefs on marriage with the Duggars.   



It should not be offensive for a show that has traditional family values to be on TV.  Just like a non-traditional show, violence etc., should be cancelled.   We all have the ability to change the channel and not support the advertisers of these shows. 



I don't understand the double standard part.

Murphy - 2014-11-20 12:02 PM I like how you basically say if someone doesn't believe what you believe to be true, then it's false. But I have a feeling this is a dead end arguement with you, so I'm stopping at this post.



Also - not everyone in the LBGT community thinks that these shows should be banned. I work with quite a few people who are gay and could care less what everyone else believes. They just go about their lives. Like the rest of us, we have a remote control and we can use it. 

kdb2qq - 2014-11-20 9:43 AM SC, I respect your opinions completely. I lurk quite a bit, but don't post that much. That's a blanket statement though. I'm a part of that "community", but I am just as much for freedom of expression for anyone who disagrees with me as someone who agrees with me. Just wanted to throw that out there...

SC Wrangler - 2014-11-20 6:48 PM


I am a very open and socially liberal individual.  I have absolutely no issues with the LGBTQ community or their lifestyle.   Additionally I have no issue with those that believe only in traditional marriage.  They are each entitled to their opinions and their lifestyle. I really don't understand the inability to live and let live.   

Rolling J - 2014-11-20 9:03 PM I saw this post on FB yesterday. Actually MANY of the responds were from gays or lesbians and they liked the show or supported that they had a right to their beliefs. There were some very well thought out responds. I personally would boycott TLC for canceling "19 Kids..." if they gave into this petition. My kids and I watch the show EVERY Tuesday and love it. It has opened up several opportunities for me to talk to my kids about modesty, manners, respecting the of the opposite sex, good morals.... My daughter even wants to read the book the oldest daughters put out this summer. Thank-you God, that my daughter respects those girls and not someone like Kim K. Here is what upsets me, back many years ago, NOBODY thought anything of large families and the older kids helped to take care of the younger ones. They worked hard, most of the time lived off little and went to church on Sundays. Mom tended to the home and dad worked. This was not sexist, that was life. I can almost guarantee, it too that those children were forced to grow-up much faster and work MUCH harder then any of the Dugger children will ever know or experience. I have watched the show for YEARS and it appears all of those kids are well adjusted and happy. I only wish I could take my kids on the trips like the Duggers have gone on over time. They have had some GREAT life experiences. I see nothing wrong with traditional roles and the older kids helping with the younger ones. I don't understand why that upsets so many people. They are not marring their daughters off in their early teens, they don't beat their kids and they don't keep their children from experiencing life (all the older daughters/sons are learning a trade outside of the home and they do things separately from the younger children). I BELIEVE in GOD and the TEACHINGS OF THE BIBLE! and so do the Duggers. Of all the episodes I have watched, I have never heard the Duggers bash other's life style. Not even close but yes it is clear they believe in the Bible and like it or not, the Bible is clear on what is and isn't a sin. Personally as a Christian, I don't care what you do in the privacy of your own home but I do get tired of SOME crying how "we can have our lifestyle and have our voices" but "you CAN'T have yours and keep your opinions to yourself." It is such a double standard these days and that is what I get so tired of and that double standard covers a WIDE topic of social issues. Uncountable men and women have died DEFENDING OUR FREEDOMS, it is just a shame that some close minded people are trying to take those freedoms away everyday. It boils down to this, if you don't like what the Duggers stand for then turn the channel and don't read their articles. I do it to MANY other TV shows everyday. Everyone has the freedom to choose.

kramerica - 2014-11-19 11:54 PM

Good!  They are part of a religious sect that is cult-like, imho. Girls/women have one role and one role only. J-chelle is a broodmare. I have always felt so sorry for the girls especially in this family. They are treated like built in babysitters and then are expected to be broodies themselves when they turn 18. No higher education for any of these poor kids. 

Rolling J - 2014-11-20 11:12 PM Have you even watched the show or read anything about the Duggers? Jill was married at the age of 23 and Jessa at the age of 22. And gasp, Jenna, their oldest daughter, is 24 and NOT MARRIED. Hardly, think they are shoving them out the door "to be broodies when they turn 18." Jill was/is a successful mid-wife and by her own accounts loves her job very much. I also remember the episode where a couple of the girls were training to be EMT's with the local fire department, plus some of the older girls are also successful authors. And as far as Jill and Derek having a baby right away, they openly talk about how THEY CHOOSE not to use birth control and they view children as a blessing. Why if a woman chooses to have kids and be a stay at home mother, make them a "broodmare" or a "religious sect that is cult-like?" Who cares if Michelle chooses to have 19 kids, her body and her life. Why is loving children a bad thing? Meanwhile women pop out NUMEROUS kids everyday to several different fathers and keep collecting the welfare checks. Does that make them "cult like?" But it is not OK for a stable, loving, self supporting family to have as many kids as they choose? Since when is women having traditional roles such a bad thing? I personally think the most awarding but hardest job in the world is being a mother. Not everyone chooses to have kids and that is the right thing for them, just as it is the right thing for others to have a many as they choose. For me personally, when I was younger, my mind set was "I will never be a stay at home mother." Now in my 40's, I would give my right arm to be a "traditional family." I realize the need and importance of the mother taking care of the home but two kids is all I can handle. However, our neighbor up the road has 12 and loves everyone of them very much and they are not in a cult.

Some of the children have gone to college or taken college classes. They are raising their kids the way my parents were raised. My dad was from a large family and they had to be responsible to watch their younger siblings. They are taught to be self sufficient and respectful, nothing cult like about that. The rules of courtship are made by each child. It was stated each time that the young adults chooses (not the parents) what limits they will set for their courtship and what to save for marriage. If only more parents could parent like the Duggars and instill the values of morality and being 1 of a family, not just me me me.

Many heterosexual marriages can't keep it between one man and one woman. Somehow the commandment to not commit adultery is not a big deal. But it is still a commandment.

DLV - 2014-11-21 3:07 PM


^^^this exatly, it's funny how with religion... we pick which commands/verses we like and ignore others or rate them according to how severe we "think" they are.... I honestly don't know but God does so I guess he can judge. many things that are SAID in the bible are not followed today and no one cares less.

Sure have watched it and have read a lot about the group they are affiliated with which is called Quiverfull.   I think the girls' lives are stifling and they are not really encouraged to do anything other than have children, lots of them.  
I'm happy to see the show go because my belief is these kids have been used as pawns for J-chelle and Jim Boob.  I feel so sorry for ALL the kids.  It's 2014 not 1914.
