The left hates hypocrisy more than the actual crime.
If the Duggars were a bunch of red diaper babies, it’d be brushed off.
Rather sick that people get enjoyment out of such a sad story.
Part of the screaming wrong of this scene is a wrong idea (that even might still be shared in part by the Duggars) that to be Christian is to have arrived, in some sense. You now get to be on the Committee That Wags Its Finger At Other Sinners. And since everyone loathes being on the other side of that interface, seeing that group brought down seems like joy.
The classic evangelical idea of Christian is not that, though. It is “saved SINNER” with emphasis on the SINNER. These are people who know they get F’s in God’s school and for whom a Savior is always an absolute must, not the ones who think they get A’s.
Being yielded to Christ means to show, on earth, a transformation in progress from being like hell (the devil is the accuser of the brethren, lest we forget) to being like heaven. God’s desire in this is that it only serves that the Duggars lose their worldly rigidity and become more flexibly godly. If there’s a beef with the Gothard program I have, it is that it is legalistic and rigid. But God will not leave that situation alone.
