all fall down

He was arrested Thursday. I remember because I was fortunate to have the day off work so I could follow along all day without feeling guilty about not paying attention to work! https://www.so.washington.ar.us/res/Detainee.aspx?bn=4235381

He also doesn't mention the cases where he didn't get anything done. Maybe he 'won' (or got a plea, etc) in 5 cases, but lost 100. I'm too lazy to look up his record, but he's not going to highlight those on his website. 🙂

It will be much harder to control the married adults this time. I couldn't remember, so I looked it up, back in spring 2015: Only 7 of their kids were over 18, and only 3 were married - Josh, Jill, and Jessa. The rest of the over 18's lived at home (except maybe not John?) There were only 4 grandkids - 3 of whom were Josh's. Meredith was born that July. Now they have 14 kids over 18, 10 of which are married, and 20 grandkids. Of course JB still has a lot of control over most of them, but that hold may not necessarily be as strong as it was in 2015. I think it's possible we may see more of them distance themselves.

Two items, I put them behind a spoiler in case you are sick of seeing his face. Video of the sketch artist showing Josh in court this morning and video from when he was booked yesterday.

Probably not, but it's possible he could have been if someone intervened with real help when he was a teen. Sadly, we'll never know and now here we are.

Not to defend Amy, but she wrote that before Josh's arrest.

The indictment is here

We don't know what triggered the original raid in 2019, do we? There was obviously suspicion of some crime being committed, whether it was the CP or something else (financial/taxes, etc). While the current charges are terrible enough, I honestly wouldn't be surprised if additional charges were brought.

It hasn't been set yet. I believe the bond hearing is on May 5 and he has to stay in custody until then. IF bond is granted at that time, then he has to have supervision and live in a place with no minor chidren.

It is our prayer that the truth, no matter what it is, will come to light, and that this will all be resolved in a timely manner. We love Josh and Anna and continue to pray for their family.” Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar

Wasn't there some concern that (or speculation as to why) Counting On wasn't on the TLC list of renewed shows? Maybe they thought something big was coming?

His family must be so proud. I read somewhere else that JB & M are at Big Sandy today, so they apparently aren't even home.

This is the least surprising news ever.

I think it's Imperishable Hope.

I was secretly hoping Rio and the hitman would have shot each other at the same time. I'm over both of them. But I guess that would be the end of the show.

She's going to have to get knocked up again soon if she wants her odd year baby.

They always seem to think god's plan means more kids. Maybe god's plan was for you to have 4 kids, Erin. Of course by 'god's plan' they really mean 'what WE want'.

The Kellers have them beat with 27 grandkids and 2 on the way (Suze* and Nathan). If Anna announces that's even one more for the Kellers. *Suze hasn't had hers yet right?

Maybe she's still feeling the effects of covid?

A female Jesus? How blasphemous! Lol 😄

Jed! to me is more Josiah's twin than Jeremiah's.

While the Rods don't have it (yet), Jill's mom does and their former pastor from West Virginia (Kevan Bartlett) does. Jill's parents still go to that church I believe. He was in the ICU, there was an outbreak at their WV church of at least 27 people.

Love a good Schitt's Creek reference! It took me a minnute to realize that was Jana too. But Jana and Abbie do look a bit alike in some photos.

The lady in the purple dress with Mrs. Keller is Amy Foster's (Jill's SEVERLY QUADRAPALEGIC SISTER) sister-in-law Betsy Catlin/Betsy Foster. She's friend with Jill and also shills Plexus. I think Jill got into Plexus from her. She was the wedding photographer.

But did you know JD is a pilot? 😄
