Jim Bob Duggar's Advice to Parents: Remove 'Sensual Content' From the Home
Depending on how you look at it, Jim Bob Duggar may be one of the least expected people to offer parental advice, given his son's recent scandalous fall from grace. Then again, perhaps Jim Bob's experiences make him one of the best qualified to speak on family matters.
However you choose to see it, when it comes to being a father and raising a family, Jim Bob has got a few suggestions. In the aftermath of Josh's molestation and cheating scandals, which rocked the entire Duggar clan — causing the cancellation of the family's reality show "19 Kids and Counting" — Jim Bob posted an open letter on the family's website suggesting that in order to safeguard one's family from sources of temptation, removing all "worldly or sensual content" from the home is the best course of action.
Duggar suggests that risque content be replaced with "good things," including "wholesome music, biographies of great Christians, good old-fashioned family fun and games." He also advises on how to be the family's spiritual leader and coach.

The advice comes on the heels of a lawsuit filed against Josh by porn star and model Ashley Stamm-Northup, a.k.a. Danica Dillon, who claims the reality star assaulted her during a session of consensual sex after they met at a strip club, according to a report by The New York Times.
In the lawsuit, Stamm-Northup claims Josh was rough during sex and says she "felt as if she were being raped," according to People. The adult film star says she endured emotional and physical suffering and is seeking $500,000 in damages from the former "19 Kids and Counting" star.
In August, Josh sought treatment for a porn addiction at a faith-based rehabilitation center widely speculated to be Reformers Unanimous, located in Rockford, Illinois.
"Entertainment Tonight" reports that Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar once spoke at Reformers Unanimous during a national conference, and sang its praises. "They are an incredible Christian based drug/alcohol addiction program," the couple wrote on Facebook. " … Love supporting organizations and events like these."
ET also reports that Josh Duggar may have recently completed his stint in rehab after a plane carrying Jim Bob Duggar was seen landing at an airport near the rehab facility. It is allegedly the same plane that appeared when Josh was admitted into the facility earlier this year.
