The Duggar family is being heavily scrutinized for their actions after Josh Duggar allegedly molested five girls — some reportedly his sisters — back when he was a teenager. While some fans of "19 Kids and Counting" have expressed their continued support for the family, others have turned their backs on them and have called for the show's immediate cancellation. 

However, several family members have offered their support for Josh, including his cousin Amy Duggar and Jessa's father-in-law Michael Seewald. Now, another family member has taken to social media to remind people that Christians are far from perfect, and thus, need to be forgiven just like everybody else when they make a mistake. 

Jill's brother-in-law, Dan Dillard, posted a message in his private Facebook account urging people to be slow to judge. 

On March 24 he wrote, "Many people are so quick to pass judgement on others without even so much as glancing at their own lives. That's the thing about people of the world…they often don't recognize that Christians are not perfect, but simply forgiven. Plain and simple." 

He also posted a verse from 1 Corinthians 11: 31-32 which reads, "For if we would judge ourselves, we would not be judged. But when we are judged, we are chastened by the Lord, that we may not be condemned with the world." 

The rest of the Duggar family has been quiet so far since news of Josh's scandal broke, but Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar appeared in a Fox News interview with Megyn Kelly on June 3 to address the allegations that their son molested girls when he was younger. Their agreement to take part in the interview, which aired at 9 p.m., follows a decision by at least a dozen advertisers to pull out their sponsorship from"19 Kids and Counting," according to Entertainment Tonight.  A one-hour special will also air on June 5.
