That’s the word from organizers of the Rocky Mountain Super Conference on the Family, coming to the Denver Merchandise Mart on the weekend of June 19th via the Christian Home Educators of Colorado:
Jesus set aside His kingly glory to come and to SERVE hell-deserving sinners. He showed us the perfect example of how to LEAD by serving others. This year’s conference will explore ways to build stronger families, churches, and governments through SERVANT LEADERSHIP…
Join us on Friday, June 19th, at 7:00 pm for a special evening with the Duggar Family. Come and hear the Duggar kids perform a special musical program, followed by a presentation with Jim Bob and Michelle.
As you can see above, the website for the Rocky Mountain Super Conference on the Family proudly proclaims “we’ve got the whole Duggar family!” And yes, the accompanying photo of what looks like all 19 Duggar children–or is it 20 now? We haven’t been watching–does include Josh Duggar (just right of center, gray shirt), at the moment the most famous of all the Duggar brood after admitting to having molested “several” underage girls as a teenager. In the wake of those allegations, Josh Duggar resigned from his job as executive director of the hard-right Family Research Council Action, one of the nation’s leading anti-gay and anti-abortion advocacy groups. The Duggar family’s reality TV program, 19 Kids and Counting, has been suspended from broadcast as advertisers line up to pull their advertising from the show.
All of which leaves the Christian Home Educators of Colorado in, you know, a bit of a lurch! As of this writing, the Duggar family–the WHOLE Duggar family, mind you–is still headlining their event. GOP presidential hopeful and fellow Arkansan Mike Huckabee continues to stand by the Duggars, and he’s not alone. Will Josh be part of the Duggar family musical ensemble playing in Denver next month?
If so, maybe consider keeping your kids home that day.

POLS. It's not a sin unless he molested OTHER BOYS. Girls have it coming. And have you SEEN what the Duggar kids have to go through to get laid? Why, you'd molest little girls too!
Ok, I can't keep this going. It's just too disgusting. Sorry.
Perhaps Westboro Baptist Church will picket.
(No, probably not- the Duggars' troubles are too close to home).
I'd like to see the sexual-assault survivors groups protesting the Duggars, though.
Wouldn't these folks feel more comfortable in Colorado Springs?
Stop picking on poor Doug Bruce and his mom.
InTouch magazine (how oddly appropriate) keeps coming up with more dirt on the Duggars. The sheriff of porn now says the Duggars downplayed the abuse when they reported it to him (and when you lose the sheriff of child porn!) and now the InTouch rag is reporting that Josh sued Arkansas Child Protective Services to prevent them keeping him away from his sisters. Ickier by the minute. But the fundies say Josh has been forgiven, so it's all cool and okay now, so no more judging of the Duggars.
TLC wants to stand by their man, but they may have to borrow the Rushbo's advertisers, since a lot of advertisers are fleeing the Duggars' show.
And how odd that Duggar Daddy found not one but two pedophiles to counsel his son the molester. Almost like he knew where to look.
But the fundies say Josh has been forgiven, so it's all cool and okay now, so no more judging of the Duggars.
That reminds me of what the Catholic Church used to tell parishioners about the pedophile priests: "Father Pervy has done his penance and been forgiven so you should get over it."
Yeah, but you have to say it in a really sanctimonious tone of voice to get the real feel of the fundies' disgust that someone would judge a fellow fundie.
