Darknight June 10, 2015 Share June 10, 2015 Look at Tori Spelling. She grew up Rich n spoiled. She still has money but not like before. It's hard to go plastic when you had a sliver spoon in your mouth. No way does JimChelle or the kids want to go back to where they were before. 4 Link to comment
BitterApple June 10, 2015 Share June 10, 2015 1,000 times this. If there is any truth to him coming to those two idiots, crying and confessing, he was obviously looking for help. I believe the police report stated Josh did go to his parents prior to being told on by his sisters. I agree this was a kid screaming for help and the only "help" he got was being shamed in front of his congregation and sent off to some quasi labor camp. 6 Link to comment

lulu69 June 10, 2015 Share June 10, 2015 The hiring of a bodyguard makes me wonder if there have been death threats against Smugger? I know in jail, sexual predators, esp child molestors are low on the food chain. I could see some crazy person who either had a loved one abused by a predator long ago (payback) or who was abused themselves going after Josh in a misguided attempt of justice. 2 Link to comment

bigskygirl June 10, 2015 Share June 10, 2015 Once again, please do not speculate about the reasoning behind Josh molesting his sisters. We are not psychologists, and if a poster was one, he or she has not sit down with Josh to find out why he chose to do this. I am sure there are other forums in the internet world to discuss this one topic. Any posts with the Josh armchair counseling analyzing his motives will be edited or hidden. Thank you for your cooperation and patience. Link to comment
6 MeowMeowBeenz June 10, 2015 Share June 10, 2015 is it terrible hard to believe josh may be sorry for what he did? I don't think that's material. Lots of people who commit crimes are truly sincerely sorry, yet they still are punished by the judicial system. Completely appropriately, I might add. Praying the perv away seems to be their answer. Fine for them, not for society. 12 Link to comment
Dawn16 June 10, 2015 Share June 10, 2015 At what age in the Bible can you still "rod" your adult children? At any age, since using the "rod" means guiding your children like a shepherd guides its flock, not beating them. Or making excuses for them, especially at the expense of your other children. Josh and Anna moving reminds me that I did have hope for them in D.C., living outside the compound and meeting more mainstream conservative Christians. And I remember noticing when the whole family visited a church that Josh was moving to the music and not standing uncomfortably still. Anna in Arkansas with Josh, four kids, no money, and the whole world knowing what her husband did is extremely depressing. 3 Link to comment

barbedwire June 10, 2015 Share June 10, 2015 I too had wished they moved to Florida mostly for the kids. Mac, Mike and Marc need to be near the grandparents who have time for them and away from the whispering and whatever else is going on in the Arkansas hot seat. They could have lived a quiet and simple life. But no........................ 9 Link to comment
bluebonnet June 10, 2015 Share June 10, 2015 I think it's important to remember there are 3.5 kids involved here. Hiring a bodyguard or quietly moving with the aid of professional movers shouldn't be shocking, surprising, or even insulted. Whatever Josh and Anna might deserve or what sort of people they are, I can't help but be thankful that at least steps have been taken to shield the children at this time. This is all a different sort of publicity than the kind to which the children have become accustomed. The media and public aren't clamoring for photos and glimpses for the same reason they were a few weeks ago. 18 Link to comment
Micks Picks June 10, 2015 Share June 10, 2015 I too was thinking about the movers this time. Obviously it wasn't going to be an episode and not paid for, so it's way cheaper than having the stink bus and half a dozen SUVs or trucks driving there and back. I bet the Bates family is doing the happy dance. 4 Link to comment

Popular Post FakeJoshDuggar June 10, 2015 Popular Post Share June 10, 2015 I do not think the FRC is a 'hate group'. They have very conservative values and lobby congress, just as many uber liberal groups do. I may not agree with them, but I will not call them a hate group because of their beliefs and lobbying efforts. When an organization seeks to take rights and civil liberties away from US citizens based on their interpretation of the bible, it's very much a hate group. Their argument that marriage is between one man and one woman is tantamount to opposition to interracial marriage which was only made legal in 1967. Arguments about interracial marriage were biblically based as are the FRC's lobbying claims about LBGT citizens. FRC spreads misinformation about LBGT citizens as to sway public opinion the same way that Westboro Baptist Church tries to sway public opinion by protesting funerals with their God awful picketing propaganda. 34 Link to comment

bencr June 10, 2015 Share June 10, 2015 I don't know why Josh needs a bodyguard. But I think it's at least possible that hiring a bodyguard is part of a public relations stunt to show people how persecuted Josh and his family have been. 5 Link to comment

HundFan June 10, 2015 Share June 10, 2015 I do not feel even the tiniest bit of sympathy for Josh, but it is hard not to pity Anna. I agree that's why she was clinging to Josh like a motherless monkey and crying for no reason on the "Digging With The Duggars" episode. She was also atypically chatty, making nonsensical comments about "family traditions." Uncomfortable people try too hard by smiling inappropriately and talking too much. So it was with Anna, who KNEW what was coming. PS: Ben's face during that show was another "tell." He looked like he had just eaten something truly disgusting. 8 Link to comment
gunderda June 10, 2015 Share June 10, 2015 If the weight loss was caused by stress related to the molestation scandal, I wonder how far in advance the Duggars were aware the scandal was going to break before it actually did. The airport pics were taken only one day after InTouch published the first article about the molestation. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3089944/Embattled-reality-star-Josh-Duggar-arrives-DC-airport-alongside-pregnant-wife-three-children-one-day-child-molestation-allegations-surfaced.html I don't know....

JoanArc June 10, 2015 Share June 10, 2015 FWIW we have no idea that Josh is going back to Arkansas, just rumor. Working on the house could be because he wants to rent it out, or flip it. He'll need the income. BFE, Florida would be pretty good, as Anna would be close to her family for the delivery. Didn't Jim Bob sell the car lot and they'd have to start over? Yeah, and Ben's been driving the Duggar Towing Truck. Josh will need a lower key job for the next 5-10 years. 1 Link to comment
Sew Sumi June 10, 2015 Share June 10, 2015 I think JB still owns the car lot. Remember they showed an old family friend running it? At minimum, he still owns the property. They would be stupid to kick that guy out and reinstall Smuggar there. I agree that he's even lower on the totem pole than "regular" used car salesmen. For the time being, I see no other option for him than to go to work for JB. I don't even think IBLP headquarters would touch him at this point. However, this is all subject to change in a year or two IF nothing else emerges. 1 Link to comment
