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

Per TMZ Joshie will be kept far away from the cameras:

Even if he was offered a job, I can't imagine being a 'counselor' at RU pays enough to support a wife and four kids.

As always, I think the comments are hilarious and Noncomplimentary (is that even a word?)

I would not be at all surprised to see Josh establishing RU chapters.  Drug addicts and alcoholics want to be counselors after they have completed their programs.  I can see Josh following the same pattern.  And RU is expanding.  Perfect for him.  It would not surprise me at all.  

I was thinking the same thing. Or even more Duggarish - they will establish their own rehab; Duggar's Soul Salvation. They can have a strip mall with store fronts for restoring cars, houses, and souls.

I don't know. All that sounds suspiciously like actual work. I thought work was just the stuff they pretended to do so that they could stay on television.

True Churchie, how very true.  But think of all the love offerings they'd get for demolishing all of the devil's fortresses. It could be like Jill & Derek's missionary work and they'll just say that is what their doing.

Josh is royalty. There would be no actual work involved.

 

 

Once a week or more he'll have one of the women who is there because of 'loose morals' in to "clean his office".  It would be a dream for him to realize that these women are paying good money to basically get F***** by Josh Duggar.  He'd probably put a hidden camera in his office so he can watch himself later.

That's exactly what would/will go down.

 

 

I would not be at all surprised to see Josh establishing RU chapters.

Didn't the Duggars pitch a show where they counsel sex abuse victims? I smell spinoff.

 I can't help but wonder what Anna's days are like now that her man is back.  Is it all she imagined/dreamed it to be?  Or is life a bit harder than the thought?  Is she joyfully available? 

Probably feels like a promotion. No longer stuck with the loser SAHD's. Now she is somebody who can get pregnant again. Sitting at the adult table.... awww.

Edited to correct typo - I did not attend sotdrt

 

I suspect it's pretty awful.  Nothing about this "rehab' will have addressed what Josh needs to do for Anna to help mend their marriage or addressed whether they should even mend the marriage. Anna hasn't received any real counseling where she would feel comfortable saying what she really feels or dealing with her hurt and anger. So now that he's home, she just has to put on the happy face and repeat 'serenity now' until she blows or implodes. Not to mention I'm sure she's gotten into a flow with her days that don't involve Josh and now he's home and I'm sure trying to step right back into that 'I am King' role with no regard for Anna's feelings. I can't even fathom what she has to deal with if/when he tries to touch her.

Can you just see it? That mixed up Sierra planning some ceremony with flamingos as the theme! The 4+ M kids walking down the aisle sprinkling rose petals...MAYBE JOSH WILL EVEN SING???!!!!

Ok, book deal or vow renewal first?

Vow renewal will get the fans all excited for the "how to" book!

Not this season though. Vow Renewal will be J&JCO Season 2. A $$ carrot dnagling in front of fans and TLC.

Book deal is probably already signed.  The ghostwriter is probably working on the Vow Renewal closing chapter right now.  Lucky for them, the book won't be published until months after the actual Vow Renewal.

 

I'm sure there's another baptism in the works for Josh too.

Churchhoney,

I totally forgot about all those baptisms. The term "rededication" just popped into my head.

That won't be televised or maybe just a brief clip. But it will be on social media and people will eat it up.

Jim Bob is probably strategizing as we speak. A piece of paper with arrows, Bible verses and dollar signs scribbled all over it. Can't you see him with his big dopey grin "hey, momma, I think I got it all worked out!" (waving his paper in her face)

Seriously, if Josh was just trying to get himself together after cheating, I would wish him well with his wacky life. But he molested children. He is just a sexual criminal.

You know TLC monitors these boards and probably someone from the Duggar camp as well. We used to joke on TWOP that the network owed us a producer fee because so many of our criticisms ended up as F.U. Interwebz show fodder.

Marigold, you called it. If a baptism or vow renewal happens next season, your avi better appear in the credits!

She will write about every fear, problem and issue and then every Bible verse that comforted her.

There are tons of those books out there.

Josh will even have his own section...explaining how exactly Satan built a fortress in his heart and how his heart was redeemed. More Bible verses and prayers. he might even publish parts of his journal too!

I think it will be like a journal, devotional, how to and their life all in one book. They won't be a best seller but there are a lot of marriage problems out there. If josh and Anna, who hit rock bottom, can duct tape their marriage together...there will be fools willing to do what Josh and Anna did to "restore their marriage."

Oh dear God no!!! Unfortunately you are probably right.  I feel so sorry for Anna. I can only imagine the kind of psychological campaign of guilt and humiliation she's been subjected to over the last 8 months.

Hey TLC! Don't fucking dare subject us to Josh! If you ever get the urge, look at his Q Score.

I'm with Koka on this one. Do not put Josh on your network, TLC.

 

And if you do, you better find a jail that will let you film, because Jessa will be Counting the days until her release for breaking Josh's legs.

Just the first paragraph from the article makes me ill:

 

"Anna Duggar reportedly planned a hero’s welcome for her husband after he completed his stint at a Christian treatment center. However, while Anna’s love and admiration for Josh Duggar has not been diminished by his unfaithfulness, the mother of four is reportedly worried that her husband isn’t completely committed to altering his behavior. According to a recent report, Anna believes that it is now her responsibility to keep Josh from going astray, and she thinks that she can prevent her husband from cheating again by changing the way she looks."

This is exactly what I was afraid was happening. This isn't something Anna is concocting because she's a idiot. I guarantee for the last 8 months both her family and the Duggars have been drilling into her that she is responsible for his fall and it's up to her to make sure it doesn't happen again. Most people who are cheated on go through a period of self-esteem issues. It's not at all unusual for a woman especially to think if she just cooked better meals, lost more weight, did her hair differently etc. it wouldn't have happened. But most women also have friends and family telling her it's not her fault that her husband was a cheating asshole. In this case her support system, and I use that term loosely, spend their time telling her that she is responsible for his actions. After all she is supposed to be responsible for his internet use. So the porn - that's on her for not stopping that. And she knows he would never have had to stray if she had been the wife God expects her to be. UGH - makes me want to barf just typing it in a sarcastic tone. 

 

I just want to take Anna and her adorable kids far, far away from these horrible people.

I'm really hoping this article is total b.s. and the Inquisitr just cherry picked details they read on the forums and turned it into a story. Otherwise, the whole situation is even more deranged than we thought.

Interesting though, if Anna and Josh are living on their own. I would've figured they'd be chained to the TTH for at least a year.

No wonder Anna has started tanning like crazy and wearing brighter lipstick. Guarantee you'll see her dress a bit more modern too and wearing super heavy makeup.

That would be horrible:  Anna really believing that she is responsible for keeping her husband from straying.

 

Let's see what her day looks like:

 

Get up and fix yourself:  makeup, good skirt, and curled hair.  Then make everyone breakfast.  Clean up after breakfast.  Homeschool the kids, nurse the baby, clean the house, make more meals and clean up after them, grocery shop, bathe kids, put kids to bed and then you MUST be ready to serve Sloppy, I mean Joshy.  Oh if Merry wakes up in the middle of the night, don't you dare wake him up and suggest he take a turn with the baby.

 

Ugh.

Joshley molested among others, a five year old. A child that is about the same age as his daughter. Because of strings pulled when it all happened he never went to court or faced any real consequences for his actions.

So once again it's all swept under the rug. Where is cps to protect his children and little sisters? Is the TV show supposed to make this ok? I know it's the famewhore duggars, but I'm just outraged that this family can say we forgive and forget and so should you. A hero's welcome for a child molester? Shame on you TLC. TLC should advertise itself as the Totally loves currency and anything for a buck network.

OMG. She desperately needs counseling from a non-crazy person. And she'll never get that, poor idiot. How horrible this is, if true. And given the delusional nature of her "friends" and relations, I expect it is true.

I thought I saw a clip of Anna asking Joy what qualities she was looking for in a man. It just seemed so inappropriate.

This just gets worse and worse.  Words just elude me.  Anna supposedly knew he was a molester when she married him.  I'm sure she got the Reader's digest version of what happened and she married him anyway.  TLC thinks it's a good idea to put Anna's marriage advise on TV?  Amazing.

I call BS on the Inquister article. From what we've seen Anna is struggling in much the same way many women do. She has the added struggle of Gothardism thrown in though. 

 

But really, I've been surprised that she has even said out loud that she is unsure how to react. She has been taught that everything is the woman's fault, and her reactions show that she doesn't fully buy into that. She has some small, eenie weenie thread of self-respect hiding under all that Gothardism. I hope she holds onto it.

Well, if Anna really wants to doll herself up to compete for Josh's roving eye, I hope she does a Full Amy. Just cooch it right out. Jish's head would explode to have the Madonna/"whore" (I hate that word) dichotomy right there in one person.

Ok. I would like to see a picture of that. Would people need to be chaparoned around Anna? Talk about irony.

I'm confused. Josh blames things on the Devil but then Anna is taught it's her fault he went astray. I wish they would get their stories straight.

Why is Anna bothering losing weight? She will be "expecting" M5 soon, if not already. I'm sure most of her weight loss was from nerves & not her actively trying but it sounds better if she said she was losing it for Joshley.

I'm also wondering where their new digs are. I hope Jana is happy to get her bed back.
