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

I dunno.  I think Anna wanted Josh to take the D.C. job for the $$, and as far as having the baby on TV, I think that was also related to TLC and the $$.  I don't think she cared about the cameras at the time she was in labor and delivering, because frankly, at that point, most women just want the baby out.  When I was delivering, all of my modesty went out the window.  I could have cared less who saw me, or came in the delivery room door. "Just get this baby out of me!" was all I was thinking.

I don't remember seeing anything on the show about Anna pushing Josh to take the D.C. job. Maybe I'm forgetting something? I always got the impression it was Joshie who wanted the cushy job and D.C. life and that Anna was sad to leave her support system, but maybe not.

I watched/listened to the RU Friday night service this afternoon while I was cleaning the kitchen.  Cisco was always my favorite.  Then he told his wrestling story. He seemed pretty damn proud that he had bloodied up his opponent and torn his face up.  Does he not understand that Greco-Roman wrestling is not a blood sport?  I lost a lot of respect for the big name.  Not very Christian of him to be joyful at the pain he caused another.  And of course there was no Josh sighting.  He would be hard to distinguish among the pasty, pudgy white guys in attendance that we only see from the back.  

 

On a completely different note, Mechelle makes a pretty cute guy.  Maybe she should purpose to get a pixie cut.  Can we find a way to convince her and Jim Boob that god has laid it on her heart to cut her hair?

I had the same reaction when Cisco told that story.

I read that Anna's family, led by her brother, is going to do an intervention while she is in Florida.  They figure they can convince her to divorce Josh if she is not in the Duggar sphere of influence.  Go Keller siblings!

I didn't find that article credible. It said that Anna's other two brothers supported her (so said the Duggar source who is supposedly "close" to the situation. This person doesn't know that Anna's younger brothers still live at home and are under pretty much 24/7/365 surveillence since Suze left the Gothard fold? However, I totally COULD see Famy being the leak; I doubt she knows much about the dynamics of Anna's family; I doubt she even knows who Gothard is.

You can only file for divorce in the state where you live.

I see. Can Anna move to Florida, live there, and file?  Is Josh considered to be living in rehab, or is it where they had their residence when they were together?  Or where(if) they own a house?  I don't know enough about this, but if Anna is back in FL at least she's away from JB's influence and maybe her bro can talk her into divorcing that pig one way or another.

I think Anna would only have to show up in FL to file for divorce, and the paperwork would be sent to Josh's last known address.  Don't know what would happen after that.  Probably doesn't matter in this case, because I suspect that Anna will have to have another Josh scandle (or two) before she considers divorce.

It's the state of legal residence of the spouse that files the divorce action. State laws vary on how long you have to live there for it to be your legal residence in this context.

ETA In Florida, you have to live there six months before you can file.

Josh has still has 4 months of brainwashing in churchy prison left. If she's not going to divorce Josh, she'd be wise to go back to Tontitown and put the screws on JimBob and extract some sort of commitment for financial support from him, because she won't be allowed to raise the issue when Josh comes back "cured".

Would that this was true, but it sure sounds like the hopeful fantasy of a tabloid "writer." Time will tell.

Such a complicated situation.  If Anna is still a believer, she is probably counting the days til "cured Josh" comes back to her.  My experience is that one doesn't fall out of love the minute the other party does something bad.  It is a process.  And one has to work at it.  Don't know where Anna is in the process especially if she has spent time on the compound.  Do we have anything for sure that she is in Florida?  Or just speculation?

Is he sad panda-ing his way through it?  If he can't call the Teen Mom chicks on their shit, I have little faith in him handling the Duggars.

That depends on how good or bad her story is. If he dressed up hookers to look like his sisters or something, it'll hang around.

 

I expect he's too boring for that. These people are so ignorant and idiotic that they don't even make interesting villains. They're too one-dimensional even to be twisted. They're just jerks and assholes who are arrogant with no basis. Josh, in particular, I'd peg as just an entitled dumbass who likes to pick on women because he's too limited to see their humanity and because he sees picking on them as his birthright and it makes him feel like a big man. Ditto his "politician"-leading-the-charge-against-teh-gays persona.
