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 think back and there were some hints that there were problems between Josh and Anna and Josh's sisters.

When they were having prayer time in the boys room when Josh and Anna were first married, Anna was boasting about her and Josh picking their letter for their future children's names. Jinger rolled her eyes and made a face of utter contempt. I remember thinking, "What's that about?". Now we know.

Then when Jill included Anna in her wedding party, Anna was genuinely surprised. She was effusively grateful. I remember thinking, "Why is she so shocked and grateful to be included?. Again, now we know.

I'm sure that there were other hints, but those are two that I could think of right off the top of my head.

On another note, I think that there is really something wrong with Anna's parents. How could they ever think that a child molester is a good spouse for their daughter? Normal parents would never agree to that marriage.

Normal parents, at least here in the USA, don't arrange marriages for their children.

All these Duggar women who can sew and nobody bothered to properly hem Boob's pants? 

 

 

I was speculating earlier that it looks like Boob was wearing the same suit he wore at Jill's wedding.  I don't think any of those gray suits were tailored correctly, especially Derick's.

Should we assume the drippy sundae in the middle of the table is for Smuggar?

That's the same drippy Sunday that they served to Joy on her birthday...I recognized the side of sauce.  ? Maybe the Family gets a discount?

Probably. They've pimped out Marketplace Grill several times on the show. Most notably during Jessa's courtship. That's where Mechelle almost stroked out when Benessa held hands the day before they became engaged.

can you get a smart phone with no data plan that just makes calls?  

I believe smartphones require data plans.  But there are apps out there that help with "accountability" and notify your partner when you access "questionable" content.  Or it sends details of your web surfing to an accountability partner.

Indeed I hated leaving Cisco.  Maybe I can get back on and maybe I can make the type big enough to read.  The computer has a new hard drive now but it wiped out my word and excel so the associated files are done for.  And it wants me update stuff but the little notices at the top are hopeless for me to read.  I'm going to end up hiring a geek to come over for a few hours but I may as well get a few more tech devices before so he/she can do it all at once.  I can only hit where I know the proper thing should be, like Safari, end and apple shutdown is not the last choice in the list, but the second to last.  No was can I read it.  Ah well do miss Cisco, he's a sweetheart and even in his preaching is nice to everyone and relates his speeches to common day.  He's the best they've got.

Well, a tailor would have to get right up among your manbits to measure the inseam, etc. A tailor is perhaps the ultimate defrauder.

Looking on People this morning looking for Jinger's spread, instead I found TFDW's Instagram post and an article on Smuggar. Looks like he will not be cropped out of the family picture they publish after all. This was a palette cleanser...for us to puke.

I'm confused? Thong Song Cisco is a preacher? 

 

Just now, Sew Sumi said:

Of sorts. He leads the online portion of the RU sessions.  He's more like a leader at an AA meeting. I think "talk talk talk"  Will is a pastor in training. I 

The "Cisco" Sew Sumi's talking about isn't that Thong Song Cisco. He's a guy at RU aka Jesus Jail. Several people who post here, followed the online RU Friday night meetings while Smuggar was there. Saw a lot of Cisco, not so much of Smugs.

Well I'm sort of disappointed now. MC Hammer, Salt and Ma$e are now rappin for the Lord, so why not Thong Song Sisco.

Hammer actually gives good, reasearched, scripture based, relatable sermons. I was impressed. No condemning or thumping, no theatrics or paranoia. He's a great speaker.

way off topic but do we know when Josh started with the porn, strippers and online trash? 

I was watching Josh's wedding and it's really sobering to see Anna getting married to this POS.  

Was he addicted to porn back then or was it more recent?

Well, given that he had an "interest" in such matters strong enough that it led him to molest his sisters, I'd say he was probably active to whatever degree he could get his hands (or whatever...ugh!) on it all along. I suppose he was quite limited in what he could get away with when he was younger, but addictive personality was probably quite developed.

So sad to see Anna marrying this piece of crap. Josh probably had his own private bachelor party. 

Of course, he wasn't allowed to have a normal one. .... There's a reason why that's a tradition. But the Duggars can't deal with human nature.

He was caught looking at porn after the molestations when he was a teen. Used a political campaigns computers to do it. Yes...masturbaing in public no doubt. Ew.

Looking back on the wedding, Josh looked pretty comfortable with the kiss and being close to Anna after the reception. Yeah, puts things in a different perspective.  Josh had been involved with porn and looking back, I'm sure there was some women involved somewhere along the way. 

Not to mention, he is emotionally reserved and almost cold about the wedding and the whole thing.  Looking at it now, he looks like he is acting a role. He had his double life going way back then.

Anna always looks pregnant...she's in a perpetual state of "baby fever", which makes her uterus expand as the fever rises.

That pic above:

Minimum of two take-out drinks. Check.

Styrofoam container of food (marked with an M, for Mullet of course). Check.

Puffed sleeves on Mullet. Check.

Jinge holding coffee. Check.

Unnecessary layers on Fundie friend. Check.

Prop bananas. Check.

Pickles. Check.

Anna drinking water in preparation to pee on a pregnancy test stick. Check.

I'm back & forth about Anna being pregnant.  She was wearing a gray T-shirt before they got dressed for Jinge's wedding & in certain angles it looked like she was.  I'm hoping it's just a weight thing since Smugs has been home.  She lost a lot of weight during the scandal so  I'm thinking any weight gain makes it more noticeable.

Why is Mechelle even there? It looks like a lunch for the bridesmaids, maybe before they headed over to the rehearsal. 

I vote food baby for Anna. Smuggar HAS been home for about 9 months now. PLENTY of time to gain back every pound that either of them lost during their separation.

I just connected MEchelle's puffed sleeves with the comments Boob made on the Say Yes to the Dress crossover episode where he was hoping for leg-o-mutton sleeves (he did not know what to call them, or course) on her wedding dress for the vow removal (TM whichever kid said that) . It just hit me that this is why she always wears those terrible sleeves--her Headship's terrible taste. For some reason, that creeped me out more than many things that should legitimately creep me out more about these idiots.

At least Pickles stopped putting her "watermark" all over her stolen pictures. Oh yay?

There are a lot of houses in the background; are there more houses around the Pool House than I originally imagined, just on the other side of the Duggar compound? The fence looks brand spanking new, so it could have been built by Howler labor to keep Izzy contained.

Judging by the houses in the background, that looks to be a really nice subdivision. IIRC, the house Smuggar bought was a dump that had to be gutted and renovated. I always thought the Pool House didn't have neighbors so close by, but I don't know for sure.

If I didn't know looking at that picture I would have thought that Josh was between 45 - 50 years old. I guess the lord does indeed  work in mysterious ways.

I don't know the answer to any of that but I am stunned at Smuggars love handles.  Boy sure did pork up!

Ugh. You made me look. This is not a good day for pictures. Jana's also in a different outfit than the pic of her in the striped shirt at the TTH that DFO posted earlier today. I get that they were probably all in Branson, and they post these pics to divert fans, and don't post the Branson stuff until after they've left, but this is ridiculous. 

ENOUGH! Especially of that fat pig, Smuggar.

I don't think it's the Pool house. Whenever they show the house on TV,  It has a big sprawling lawn  with long driveway. Aren't Jill & Derick living in the Pool house?  I would think they would have been in the picture if it was at their house unless like Sew posted, they are messing with us with the timeline of posting pictures.

I just can't get over the size of Smugs & how much more he's aged.
