On Supernatural Season 10 Episode 23 , Sam and Dean finally rid themselves of the Mark of Cain. The two-year odyssey concluded with one brother actually killing Death (and becoming Death?) and it has also led to what may be the greatest parody video in the history of parody videos. Courtesy of The Hillywood Show, the above footage sums up the entire Mark of Cain storyline in one seven-minute video. And it does so, naturally, to “Shake It Off” by Taylor Swift . Is that (somehow) not enough to draw you in? Consider this: your favorite Supernatural stars, from Jensen Ackles to Jared Padalecki to Mark Pellegrino, all jump in toward the end and show off their dances moves as well. This is a must-watch.
A day after Josh Duggar was named by police as an alleged offender in a sexual molestation case, the reality star and his family have issued a statement. In response to this heinous scandal, they are not denying the charges. “Twelve years ago, as a young teenager, I acted inexcusably for which I am extremely sorry and deeply regret,” Josh tells People . “I hurt others, including my family and close friends … I confessed this to my parents who took several steps to help me address the situation.” “We spoke with the authorities where I confessed my wrongdoing, and my parents arranged for me and those affected by my actions to receive counseling.” “I understood that if I continued down this wrong road that I would end up ruining my life,” added Josh, who did not elaborate on what the road entailed. TMZ was a lot less vague today, reporting that a decade ago, Duggar was investigated for multiple counts of sexual molestation as a teenager. Sources told police he fondled the genitals of five girls back in 2002. Included among the molestation victims were Josh’s own sisters . View Slideshow: Josh and Anna Duggar Photos: Through the Years Duggar has now resigned from his position at the Family Research Council as a result of the accusations becoming a matter of public record. Jim Bob and Michelle, in their own statement, acknowledged having gone through “one of the most difficult times” of their lives 12 years ago. “When Josh was a young teenager, he made some very bad mistakes, and we were shocked,” the patriarch and matriarch said Thursday. “We had tried to teach him right from wrong,” they said, in the aftermath. “That dark and difficult time caused us to seek God like never before.” Jim Bob Duggar turned him in , reportedly to local church members who agreed that Josh should be put in some kind of treatment program. It remains unclear just what this entailed. For her part, Josh’s wife and the mother of his three children, Anna, says her husband told her about his ugly past two years before he proposed. View Slideshow: 21 Biggest Duggar Family Scandals “[I know] who Josh really is … someone who had gone down a wrong path and had humbled himself before God and those whom he had offended,” she says. Someone, she adds of the oldest of 19 Duggar siblings, “who had received the help needed to change the direction of his life and do what is right.” The statute of limitations has expired so Josh Duggar will not be prosecuted. But you can bet public pressure will be applied to fire his entire family. Will TLC cancel 19 Kids and Counting in the wake of this scandal? All we can do is stay tuned there, but Josh, 27, insists he is a changed man. “I would do anything to go back to those teen years and take different actions,” says Josh. “I sought forgiveness from those I had wronged.” “I asked Christ to forgive me and come into my life. In my life today, I am so very thankful for God’s grace, mercy and redemption.” Think he’ll get it? From a higher power and/or TLC viewers? View Slideshow: 17 Controversial Duggar Family Quotes
Josh Duggar of 19 Kids and Counting is hearing it from a growing chorus of social media critics after professing his belief in religious freedom on Twitter. What did he say that landed him in hot water – or at least kicked the proverbial hornet’s nest – this time around? Scroll down for the rundown … “We must stand up for the freedom of all Americans to live out their faith. #FreetoBelieve” wrote the eldest of Jim Bob and Michelle’s 19 Kids and Counting. “The freedom to believe is one of the most fundamental rights in America,” Josh Duggar, 27, added. “We must stand together to defend it. #FreetoBelieve” His wife Anna Duggar also jumped in, adding, “America is the land of the free — we must stand together to protect our freedom to believe. #FreetoBelieve” Of course, no one actually thinks freedom of religion – one of the pillars of our society, and a cornerstone of American life for centuries – is a bad thing. The irony of Josh playing the victim having to “defend” such a right, while frequently and vocally criticizing others’ choices, did not escape people however. Political activist Josh Duggar fights gay rights frequently, and unabashedly, while his pregnant wife has been stirring the pot frequently as well. She made a lot of headlines for using Black History Month to attack abortion , a tactic that offended many, and also recently criticized same sex adoptions . Not surprisingly, their comments on religious freedom sparked plenty of retorts pointing out what many felt is hypocrisy. A sampling of choice replies: @joshduggar you on the other hand have twisted this self righteous notion to advocate to take away others rights. @joshduggar living out your faith does not equal using your beliefs as a means to oppress other people, like LGBTQ people. @joshduggar #FreetoBelieve in any god, or gods… right? Not just your preferred version of the Christian god. @joshduggar you ARE #FreetoBelieve but your beliefs should not impinge on the human rights of others. #liveandletlive @Anna_Duggar For all faiths including Islam. You agree with that, right? @Anna_Duggar then respect other people’s decisions to believe as they do. You want to take away people’s right to LOVE for one. Hypocrisy 🙁 All interesting points, but whichever side of the debate you’re on, what’s undeniable is that Josh and Anna are steadfast in their beliefs, and sharing them. Don’t expect any apologies anytime soon, in other words, or any dialing back in the number of public comments on polarizing topics made by the couple. To see the Duggar family at their least controversial, and focusing on things that don’t incite Twitter maelstroms, watch 19 Kids and Counting online . 17 Controversial Duggar Family Quotes 1. Be On Call for Sex Your hubby comes home after a hard day’s work, you get the baby to bed, and he is going to be looking forward to that time with you. Anyone can fix him lunch, but only one person can meet that physical need of love, and you always need to be available when he calls. – Michelle 2. A Holocaust in America View Photo A couple of weeks after we went to the Holocaust Museum, it dawned on us that there is a holocaust taking place right here in America!…More than 56 million lives have been destroyed in our country! That is over 4,000 babies being killed and 4,000 women being wounded each day. – Michelle 3. The Bible is Not Neutral Re: Lifestyles View Photo We still love everyone as Christ commands, we still have compassion, we still have those kinds of feelings, but we have our convictions. We have our beliefs. If you really love somebody, you’re going to tell the truth. The Bible’s not neutral about lifestyles. The Bible blesses and approves of some and not others. – Josh 4. I Just Wanna Bang!!! View Photo You may not wanna push the wedding date out too far, as those natural God-given desires with too much time between engagement and marriage can make it harder to remain pure – Jill Advertisement A message from our sponsor. 5. Evolution My Foot! View Photo It was impossible for this world just to happen by chance. – Jim Bob 6. Making a Pro-Life Statement View Photo Don’t allow anyone to talk you into taking the life of your child. Your baby is not a blob of tissue! – Jill, Jana, and Jessa 7.

The Dress Code View Photo We do not dress modestly because we are ashamed of the body God has given us; quite the contrary. We realize that our body is a special gift from God and that He intends for it to be shared only with our future husband… We avoid low-cut, cleavage-showing, gaping, or bare-shouldered tops; and when needed, we wear an undershirt. We try to make it a habit to always cover the top of our shirt with our hand when we bend over. We don’t want to play the peekaboo game with our neckline. – Jana, Jessa, Jill and Jinger 12. The Code Word View Photo That’s a signal to the boys, and even to Dad, that they should nonchalantly drop their eyes and look down at their shoes as we walk past her… It’s meant to help keep the guys’ eyes from seeing things they shouldn’t be seeing. By using the single-word signal, the warning can be given quietly and discreetly. – Jana, Jessa, Jill and Jinger, on their code word (“Nike”) to the males in their family when they encounter women who aren’t subscribing to a similar dress code Advertisement A message from our sponsor. 13. Equating Abortion with the Holocaust View Photo I walked through the Holocaust Museum again today… very sobering. Millions of innocents denied the most basic and fundamental of all rights: their right to life… We must be a voice for those who cannot speak up for themselves. Because EVERY LIFE IS PRECIOUS. – Jessa 14. Calling Out Catholics View Photo I know a lot of Catholics who are great people. What I DO have a problem with is the teaching that man can merit God’s favor through his own works or the works of other fallen men … Where [Catholics] depart from Scripture, I will in no way support, but will call them out because I love them and desire that they be turned from their deadly errors. – Ben Seewald 15. Two Huge Lies View Photo After deleting photos of gay people kissing on Facebook, Michelle and Jim Bob shared this quote from Rick Warren: Our culture has accepted two huge lies. The first is that if you disagree with someone’s lifestyle, you must fear or hate them. Second is that to love someone means that you must agree with everything they believe or do. Both are nonsense. You don’t have to compromise convictions to be compassionate. 16. Failing Math… or Geography View Photo The idea of overpopulation is not accurate because, really, the entire population of the world, if they were stretched shoulder to shoulder, could fit within the city limits of Jacksonville. – Michelle Advertisement A message from our sponsor. 17. How Old is the World? View Photo I think the world is definitely, as The Bible says, 6,000 years old. – Jill The End.

When Bobbi Kristina Brown was found unconscious in her bathtub, the scene reminded many of the fashion in which her famous mother lost her life, and there was speculation that the troubled 21-year-old had intended to commit suicide. Now, Jerod Brown – Bobbi’s cousin and confidant – is revealing that nothing could be further from the truth. Jerod says Bobbi Kristina did intend to follow in her mother’s footsteps, but only in terms of her music career. “She was excited about what was about to take place,” Jerod tells E! News. “We were all excited…She was ecstatic about her new journey that she was embarking on…She was ready to do this and to let the world see what she was working on.” Jerod adds that Bobbi had finished recording a track called “Guilty of a Love Song” that she was preparing to release in the weeks before her accident. “That record was going to touch the world,” Jerod says. “To her, it was a very personal song of what her love life was about.” It may be discouraging to hear Jerod speak of Bobbi in the past tense, but he says she’s “still fighting” and her family remains hopeful. Bobbi Kristina opened her eyes earlier this week, but doctors say that may not be a sign of improvement. Today, an insider told Fox News that Bobbi Kristina is “not going to make it,” according to her doctors. Bobbi Kristina Brown: Through Good Times and Bad 1.

She then detailed just how he went about doing so. “He said, ‘I want to be honest about my identity and I know this is coming out in the press,'” Esther explained. “He started by saying, `We need to have a long, serious talk.'” She added that the news came as a “shock. It’s hard to wrap your mind around it.” That was apparently the case for Kris Jenner as well, who did not respond very positively upon first being told (on camera, natch) about her former husband’s gender transformation. Esther said her son made a point to emphasize one key point: He’s the same old Bruce Jenner. “He said, ‘Mom, I’m still the same person.’ He said, ‘I’m still going to race cars, I’m still going to fly airplanes and I’m going to get my helicopter license.” Few other relatives of Jenner’s have spoken out about the major life change to come, largely because they want him to control the story … and partly because it will make for great ratings fodder on E!. But Kim Kardashian is on record as supporting her step-father’s “journey.” “I never thought I could be more proud of Bruce when he reached his [Olympic] goal in 1976, but I’m more proud of him now,” Esther concluded. “It takes a lot of courage to do what he’s doing… “I am at peace with what he is and what he’s doing.” 15 Photos of Bruce Jenner Looking Sort of Like a Woman 1.

Josh Duggar of 19 Kids and Counting fame claims to love gay people, but his endorsement of a pair of controversial authors would suggest otherwise. He recently plugged home improvement experts David and Jason Benham‘s Christianity-based book, Whatever The Cost , on his official Instagram. “An incredible story of faith,” the soon-to-be father of four gushed. David and Jason Benham have came under heavy scrutiny, however, for openly slamming gay men and women on a conservative radio show. “We have a homosexuality and its agenda that is attacking the nation,” David said, lamenting the “demonic ideologies” taking over our schools. In the wake of the controversial statements, the Benhams’ HGTV reality series, Flip It Forward , was canceled before its’ October 2014 premiere. Josh, the eldest son of 19 Kids And Counting parents Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar, has been proactively fighting same-sex marriage for years. A 26-year-old conservative activist, Josh Duggar says he loves gay people , even as he works within the political process to fight against their rights. He has said that he’s actually trying to help their sad, lonely lifestyle as a result of his agenda, which tells you a lot about how he views the community. In November, the Family Research Council Action executive director proudly led a gay marriage opposition rally in his home state capitol in Arkansas. Josh Duggar and his family are equally passionate about abortion. Even his pregnant wife Anna Duggar caused controversy this week when she used Black History Month to attack the controversial medical procedure. As always, the Duggars are steadfast in their beliefs, and are not about to let their elevated celebrity profiles stand in the way of expressing them. On the contrary, as they gain more and more of a platform, look for them to be ever more vocal in pursuit of what they feel is the righteous path. 13 Biggest Duggar Family Scandals 1.

Last night on 19 Kids and Counting, Jim Bob and Michelle celebrated their 30th anniversary, while Ben and Jessa decided to try their hand at parenting. In a manner of speaking, of course. Their motives weren’t what you think. If you watch 19 Kids and Counting online or on TV, or know anything about the Duggars at all, you know they have some VERY strict rules for dating. No touching between young couples except side hugs until marriage. It’s pretty tough for a couple of hotties like Jessa Duggar and Ben Seewald. Watch 19 Kids and Counting Season 14 Episode 11 Online So what are they gonna do about it? Their approach is twofold … Get engaged ASAP and get married VERY soon after; In the meantime, surround themselves with rugrats! Never fails, and meets the family courtship standards too! On 19 Kids and Counting Season 14 Episode 11 , to help distract themselves from physical attraction, Jessa and Ben take the “little” Duggars to the arcade. There, we learned that since Jessa and Ben are engaged, they can upgrade to holding hands, but still no full frontal hug action until the big day. November 1, y’all. November freaking one. At this point, though, Ben had yet to even propose to his girlfriend, but we know he took care of that in short order. And in any case, they stayed strong. Jessa and Ben are very respectful of her parents and their religious beliefs, no matter how crazy the things banned by the Duggar family might seem. They’re committed to the rules, not finding ways around them, as evidenced by her older sister Jana Duggar tagging along as chaperone for the couple. Better safe than sorry? The arcade trip also made Ben realize that “this could be us” one day and that the “littles” are a blessing. Aww. They all had a derby race, and it was great. Watch 19 Kids and Counting Season 14 Episode 10 Online In the first part of the hour, 19 Kids and Counting Season 14 Episode 10 focused on Jim Bob and Michelle’s 30th wedding anniversary. Congrats!! Naturally, they set up a triple date with Jill Duggar and Derick Dillard, at this point just days away from marriage, and Jessa Duggar and Ben Seewald. En route to their destination, Jim Bob gets pulled over – on purpose – as a cop handcuffs the duos together so they can learn how to work together. Scripted, yes. Cheesy, oh yes. But darned if it wasn’t fun seeing them try to complete things ranging from household tasks to a full-on obstacle course. Marriage. It’s a challenge, but well worth it. Jim Bob says it’s all about working together and communicating so that each partner looks after the other. Ridiculous as might be to make a simple point this way, well played, Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar , and here’s to the next 30 years of your lives together. Meanwhile, Josh tries to get back on track with his fitness goals with Anna’s help in the B story from Episode 10. What a cute family they are, too. What did you think of these episodes? Sound off on all things 19 Kids and check out some of the things the Duggar family does not allow in the gallery below! 9 Things BANNED in the Duggar Family 1. Dates Without Chaperones The Duggar parents often accompany their children on dates in order to maintain their “accountability” and “keep things from going in the wrong direction,” per Jim Bob. The girls are fine with this, as being alone with men puts them in grave “moral danger.” When the parents aren’t available, their older siblings will often tag along, making every date a group date and a family affair.
