Someone on Reddit just described Josh’s face as a glistening glazed ham. I am considering divorcing my husband and marrying that poster.

Well, for many of us, it's the difference between 'imperfect' and 'non-PC' and being a criminal.  Josh is a child molester and his parents actively intervened in his situation to avoid him being punis

He's probably living under an alias somewhere.  Any new Joe Smithson's checked into town lately?  A secret love nest somewhere perhaps?  He does apparently have friends that may aide and abet him.  Or abed him.  


Where's Waldo really has turned into Where's Josh.  I'm actually happy about this.  Another secret mystery unfolds. Maybe they forced him into taking Anna on vacation in the Caribbean to make it up to her or something.  Who knows.

I think its GREAT if Josh Duggar flees. Honestly I am not surprised. Your going to put him against his will (basically) in a ridiculous prayer church..yeah....color me not surprised. He was free and realizes that he is a grown ass adult and can walk out at any time. He knows he doesn't have to deal with this shit. And he doesn't want to!

 

He needs to get the eff away from this lifestyle and live the way he wants with *consenting, adult* partners. Then he can disappear into the world and we will never have to hear from him again he will just be an anonymous creepazoid trolling the internet for sex .

 

The more he tries to stay in the Gothard lifestyle the more he is hurting his family. He really would be doing Anna a favor by divorcing her, sending her back to FL and paying child support and alimony for forever.

Sounds like Josh isn't ready for rehab. Honestly, he's a POS, but I can't blame him. His family's non-help is not needed now.

 

JB need to sell that plane. The Cessna of Secrets is giving the media all kids of stories!

 

Edit: Just when the Duggars can't fumble this stuff any more, they do. It's weirdly fascinating.

I don't disagree, but the problem is that Josh has always been 100% dependent on his father and his status as a TV reality star of the rightwing Fundie Christian sort, for income. His job with FRC was totally based on his having a base of fans from the TV show, who would donate money to FRC. 

 

How could Josh earn a living without being part of the Duggar Family? He's got no education and apparently no skills. I can't see him getting an entry level job at Home Depot or any other corporation, and working his way up the ladder. 

 

He may break away but it's likely to be the end of affluence for him. Where will his next iPhone and data plan come from if he does?

Tell all book! I would 100% read.

 

ETA: I think thie gravy train has come to a halt anyway...How much is boob worth? He also has a shit ton of minor kids and grown adult children to pay for. I think the nearly 30 yo son who brought down the family empire multiple times is going to get cut off first. So less incentive for him to stay and do labor camp in Rockford lol

As bad as it sounds, I don't think the Keller's want her (except for her brother). They fully believe Anna belongs to Josh no matter what and therefore belongs to JB while Josh is unavailable. Since in their minds Anna isn't weighing her options or deciding what to do she doesn't need Mom. After all they don't believe she has a right to leave him. Josh is just on vacation.

Yes, that's exactly what her parents believe and have espoused. Per Pa Keller, when Josh and Anna got married, he transferred authority over Anna to Josh. Josh is her headship which means Josh is an extension of God in their cult.

Considering the inordinate amount of time he spends yammering against it, I wouldn't be the least bit surprised to learn, at some point, that Boob has been a regular viewer of porn himself. It's always been this way. The more someone decries an evil, the greater the likelihood he himself is an active participant. Did Josh just chalk one up in that column himself?

 

This wouldn't surprise me at all since everything they freak out about seems to have spawned directly from something that happened (not from the Bible like they want us to believe). Michele has a miscarriage so birth control is evil. Michele is embarrassed that she mowed the lawn in a bathing suit so girls have to cover up and can't go swimming. Josh molests his sisters so the girls all sleep together with locks on the doors. Josh gets caught on the Internet so the family goes on Internet lock-down. They are one seriously reactionary family. If something goes wrong it must be because there aren't enough rules. Guess that's why they like this "re-hab" place.

I had a family medical issue for 2 days, come back and there's a dozen more pages!  Holy smokes.  So perhaps this has already been stated, but I just read the People article and in a sidebar it stated that in Anna's family each child was given one 15 minute session with their mother each week to discuss feelings and issues.  Well, right away - THAT'S SICK!  But it could explain why Anna ISN'T going to her parents for support.  

 

That is one of the saddest things I've read in a long time.

They'd honestly get more attention from their parents if they got sent to prison.

So I wonder if this means he bailed or if he was never there in the first place.

I foresee the 3 apology versions followed by 3 treatment versions.  My bet is he's in a vacation hideaway somewhere with Anna and the M's.  Somewhere tropical and excluded.  After all he had to work on his marriage, keep it together, make sure Anna didn't leave him and get out of the spotlight.

Hmm. Wonder what happened to make Michelle leave Josie in the hospital to try to stop a convenience store from selling beer? One of the kids ordered beer-battered chicken strips in a restaurant?

So that explains how they met up with the young blogger who described the service. She was at the wedding, too, according to her Twitter. I was thinking she must have been from Arkansas, but of course there were people at the wedding from all over.

 

She posted excitedly on her Twitter about meeting Michelle. "Ran into Michelle Duggar yesterday (and today.) So great to meet her!" But looking at the picture, all I can think is, Oh, honey, can you not see that this woman is nuts? .... Her family must not be as far into the soup as the Duggars, since she attends a Christian college in Indiana, Huntington University, a United Brethren in Christ school that appears to be pretty creditable, as these things go. People, don't send your daughter to college and simultaneously encourage her to worship the education-loathing Duggars. Geez.

She may think of her as a celebrity; hopefully not as someone to worship.

But ... but... but ....the Duggars said Josh had entered rehab!  They wouldn't lie!   He must be in rehab somewhere! 

 

Seriously, I would not be at all surprised if our Joshie was getting special treatment and was being shepherded to the church in a private car and doing his slave labor in-house so as to avoid being seen in public.  They are probably allowing him to hit the Chic-fil-a drive through, too.   Just no Instagramming those super value meal pics.  Oh, the hardship!

 

I would bet that if Josh is in rehab at all, he is in this RU place ... is there really another "rehab" facility as Gothardy and useless as RU seems to be?  Because you know they plunked Josh down in the most backwards, useless facility in existence.  It would be hard to find a place more backwards or useless than RU.  And being so damn cheap, you know Jim Bob would gravitate toward a place he had some previous relationship with so he could exploit that relationship and get a discount on an already cut-rate program.  

 

.... Unless Josh really did just say the hell with it and take off, lol.  I'd have more respect for him if he did!  But where would he go? If his family wants him in rehab, they wouldn't let him return home.  Would Anna let him back in the house (duh, of course).  But how long could he hide out there and not be seen?  

 

Someone should monitor the sales at the local Chic-fil-a, because a spike in sales would indicate Josh has returned to Arkansas, which means of course that we would not have to sit through another one of those horrid revival meetings.  

 

Run Josh Run!

I'd like to believe in my make-believe word that Josh has had some control over his financial earnings since hitting adulthood; at the very least, since going to D.C. If he ran, he's likely already at a strip club or alley getting his prostitute fix. Or, drunk in a sleazy hotel. 

 

I don't necessarily know if John needs Jim Bob physically---emotionally, I think the co-dependency is alarming, but I'm gonna go out on a limb and say he likely has the means to escape if he wanted to.

So a pastor from RU sentenced and serving 12 years in prison for sexually assaulting a minor multiple times.  How unfortunately unsurprising.  These people are sick.

Where's Waldo? This is AWESOME! If Josh isn't at that RU they have been badly burned by the publicity in an effort to hide Josh. Thanks Duggs! Could Josh be getting real counselling? One can hope the director of a legitimate organization can have 9 months with Josh so he is reborn as an anticult warrior.

He truly is. The sad part is, there really is no redemption for him. 

I'm afraid I have to agree with you on that. He simply does not possess the intelligence to ever get himself out of this. He might have a prayer if he wasn't surrounded by crazies who know very well how easy it is to manipulate him, but he's is, so it won't ever happen.

We can all agree, at this point, she's obligated.

 

Wow. That gave me chills.

 

So the jailed RU pastor, the one who sexually assaulted a minor multiple times, was preaching about how he wouldn't listen to a woman because Adam listened to Eve. That's why he's proud to be a male!  The snake was a male stupid.  Explain that one. 

 

Well, the snake was essentially Satan, and he was molesting an underaged girl under his spiritual authority on behalf of God. He wins.

As much as I would love a Duggar slow speed chase I think he just got special treatment and either got transported separately or watched back at the gulag via Internet with the staff. After all he is a celebrity. Why he is the Lindsy Lohan of the fundie world (my apologies to Lindsy)

Well that random strip club bouncer that was allegedly the recipient of the "Do you know who my father is?" comments from Josh also said that when Josh would first arrive, he would be acting pretty normal. But then after he got some drinks in him, the hassling of the women for sex started. So...if that's to be believed, Joshypoo sounds like a pretty awful drunk to me! Because of all the other men that drank a few Bud Lights in a row in Arkansas that night, I feel confident in saying that most of them did NOT proposition a stripper. 

Does Josh carry Jim Bob and Michelle's sins?

The famed bikini ride bites Michelle in the ass again.
