Popular, despite the molestation of his sisters by Josh, critics often got slammed by fans of the TLC show. But these days, their popularity dwindles. TLC dropped the show and the discussion moved to social media. At the moment, a lot of critics slam Jim Bob and Michelle for not keeping their girls safe from a predator.
Counting On fans know that people like Jed Duggar were not the ones who actually committed the offense.
