Just as we said would happen, the Duggars are begging for money...



Shameless! Millionaire Duggar Family Begging Fans For Cash After TLC Cancels ’19 Kids’ Amid Sex Abuse Scandal

Thanks to their former lucrative TLC contracts, Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar are reportedly millionaires.

However, now that the network has canceled the family’s reality show, 19 Kids And Counting, following disgraced son Josh’s sex abuse scandal, the shameless parents and their ultra-Christian brood are begging fans for financial support, RadarOnline can reveal.

They have willfully produced these many children in the misguided notion that they are rearing god's army. (oh help)

Raising so many children is expensive. I hope they have means to exist beyond the largesse of pop culture. Pop culture is fickle.

They subscribe to a religious philosophy that prescribes certain practices. One of the tenets of that religious sect is prolific procreation. I find these religious teachings reprehensible and, at least in part, culpable. It is as much the doctrine as it is the practice, imo.

The Quiverfull movement is a cult within a cult, I've been saying that since I first heard about them.
