I don't think there was smear campaign at all.    Their problems are self-inflicted.  They should have known that their skeletons would eventually come out of the closet to bite them in them in the backside.

And you don't?

I do.

Shall we all just crawl into holes and hope the media ignores us or favors us (because they play favorites all the time). And they themselves have the most awful skeletons in their closets in the media.

They had serious issues and they put themselves on TV knowing that they would come out, eventually.  if they didn't realize it would come out, they were really naïve.   No one was "smeared."   It's not smearing when it's actually true.

Then Jesus got it wrong in John 8:3-11?

And the Pharisees had it right. She was caught in adultery. It was their duty to expose her. After all it was true. No smear job...

Are you saying that the ugly truth about Josh Duggar shouldn't have been made public?

I fail to see the comparison.  No one is smearing them.   Christians didn't come out and expose them.  They were not hauled up by the Christians.  It was Christians who sought to forgive them and let it go.   The problem is that suddenly there are more revelations about Josh Duggar visiting prostitutes and the Dillards with their dishonest use of mission trip funds. 

The Bible says, "be sure your sin will find you out."    There are built-in consequences to living in sin and the Duggars sowed to the wind and are reaping the whirlwind.  They are having to harvest the fruit that has been sown, like it or not.    That's no one's fault but their own.

Are you saying it should have?

And for that matter should everybody's dirty laundry be aired in public?

I started a thread in the Controversial section that simply touched on confessions (no details) just generalities to keep us humble and to show we are all only sinners saved by grace. Here. Among family and friends. And it was deleted.

I also asked in a thread "To whom do we confess our sins?"

No one responded.

The Bible teaches we are to confess that we sin to one another but to confess those sins only to God.

No one wants to go near this.

Why?

Because they are afraid.

This is why we must confess to one another that we sin. Leaving out the details and confessing them to God (Psalm 51:4 / 1 John 1:9).

So, I respect you, MG, you seem to have a level head. Should we go about making public the sins of others or making our own sins public?

I fail to see the comparison.  No one is smearing them.   Christians didn't come out and expose them.  They were not hauled up by the Christians.  It was Christians who sought to forgive them and let it go.   The problem is that suddenly there are more revelations about Josh Duggar visiting prostitutes and the Dillards with their dishonest use of mission trip funds. 

The Bible says, "be sure your sin will find you out."    There are built-in consequences to living in sin and the Duggars sowed to the wind and are reaping the whirlwind.  They are having to harvest the fruit that has been sown, like it or not.    That's no one's fault but their own. 

Can't make you drink, I can only lead you to the water. Fine.

You aren't leading anyone to water.   We're not buying your attempt criticize us for something we are not responsible for.   We are not going to let you point your bony self-righteous finger at us.
