Why do they ALL have to go to airport? Especially a LATE NIGHT flight arrival? They should all be at home in their beds ASLEEP. they actually lead an unhealthy lifestyle.

Because they don't trust anyone to be alone.

Why did the one Duggar guy have a tie on? Was he coming from a hot date?

[Christina87]

They sure do love the khaki coloredtrench coats like jana is wearing! Jessa got one for her honeymoon, and then appeared to give it to Jinger, but now jana also has one. Jill has also been seen wearing one. Not knocking it, though. It's one of the most legitimately classic items they have!

Maybe he and Kendra's sister just went on a super fun date right before the airport visit! Now, they're going to sell it as two different events on tv. They're being so, sooooo sneaky by placing the members of the couple at the two ends of the picture. How do they ever think up these intelligent ideas?

One of the production  crew made a mistake.

The airport visit probably was the super, fun and special date.

Yeah, there appears to be a casual restaurant / coffee place behind them. That has to be it!

They are Evangelical.  

They actually converted to Eastern Orthodox sometime in the past decade. They have an aunt or a cousin who is a nun in Greece and it all kind of spiraled from there. 

But Taylor’s wife has definitely mentioned the Duggars a time or two on social media.

There are plenty of non-fundies doing it. As long as people are desperate, scammers will prey on them. 

Not all used car lots are run by scammers though. They do make a nice profit, but at the same time, they provide a needed service. If you've got horrible or no credit, they are an option if you need a car. I've only bought 1 car that wasn't brand new, I was like 19 or 20 and in college. I was home for Christmas break and the engine in my 20 year old car completely died. I had $1800 to buy something else, in like 3 days before break ended, and my mom's husband knew someone who had one of those corner lots. I got a relatively decent car, granted it had like 180,000 miles on it, but it served it's purpose. My mom wasn't in the position to potentially co-sign anything for me, and I drove it for 2 years until I graduated college and got an adult job. Then I sold it to my mom's husband for $1. The car lot guy knew I only had $1800 and that had to include tax, title, plates, all that stuff and he made it work for me.

Not to defend him. but a lot of businesses, especially ones owned locally, know how long they can ignore notices like the ones Josh got about the zoning.  It is also possible he was working with the township on re-zoning and the notices were a formality.  I hate coming to his defense, but my dad owned a small business in a small town for a number of years and that's the way things happen there.  It doesn't mean he was deliberately ignored the law.

My grandparents owned a gas station and then a car repair/ truck rental business for years. My grandma made a habit of not paying her taxes, just ignoring the notices that came from everyone, including the ones posted in the local news paper, until the very last day she could before she paid the taxes. Apparently her theory was they weren't going to charge more tax, why should she pay before she had to.

I know people along those lines. Why should they collect interest on my money? I’ll pay at the last minute and I’ll get the extra pennies...not them. (not me, I’m just repeating what they’ve said) 

[JoanArc]

 That vest can’t hide that he’s huge. Good.

[BitterApple]

How did two people who look like Ma and Pa Keller manage to produce such attractive daughters?

I also can't believe how strong the genes are in that family. Davia and Mere could be twins, and so could Kenzie and Suze's daughter.

Anna and Josh have gained a lot of weight.

[dargosmydaddy]

Anna looks different lately in general. I remember the recent picture (Joy's birthday?) where people were insistent that Anna wasn't Anna. She looks just like the "not-Anna" in this pic, so clearly it's her...

Is the girl on the end in the blue (Suze's daughter, I think) yawning or picking her nose? Meredith looks like she's plotting something.

I didn't say all used car lots were run by scammers, did I? 

[awaken]

Anna does look so different lately!

her sister looks so much like her!

is the blonde woman next to Suze the older sister who married the rich older man? 

I wonder what it’s like for the non-fundie family members to spend holidays with David, Pris, Anna, and the ‘rents. Lots of prayers happening probably about them being “away from the Lord”. Personally I’d find it really challenging.

Rebekah, her 2nd oldest daughter after Esther. She has 2 daughters with her ex husband and she is dating the man in the red sweater.

I thought the man Rebekah was with was older than the man in the red sweater. Who is the woman in the orange top next to him?

I feel like we're missing a Keller granddaughter. Either one of Rebekah's daughters or Suze's daughter.

[Spencer Hastings]

Anna looks so different lately!  Susanna and Rebekah are gorgeous little backsliders.  All of those kids look like siblings rather than cousins. None of their fathers produced any genes apparently.

 I think he girl in orange and the one in pink in the back are Rebekah's daughters and the girl in blue next to Kynzi is Susannah's daughter.

There’s a few seasons going on in that picture. Long sleeves, sleeveless, shoes, no shoes.......but David and Pricilla are matchy, matchy, him with his hand on her shoulder, and Josh with his hands in his pockets.

The dogs are cute. 👍🏼

It could be a lot of fun, though, if you're not worried about ruffling a few Fundie feathers.

I noticed that the Kellers don't exile Josh to the fringes of the picture (where he can later be cropped out) the way his own family does. But then, they're not dependent on their public image for the livelihood.

So Anna hides her belly again? Since the pregnancy rumors, there was no pictures that would say definitely NO. And JAbbie congratulations video says more YES

[Bayarea4]

I think she's just gained a lot of weight. Anna is eating her feelings like Josh. Look how full her face is, and check out her lower legs in the Smuggar-Keller photo.

Geez I hope not - for all his sneaky ways the one thing Josh (apparently) hasn't done that he should have done is sneak off and get snipped.  He is not into having more kids.  Even when they were on the show and only had the first two he could barely muster a fake smile when Anna started talking about more.  I think the kids fill some sort of need in Anna whether she thinks it's expected because of her upbringing or the kids fill the emotional void left by Josh's cheating or she just really likes kids or all of the above.  But there's the reality of money, an honest marriage and a Dad who's really into his kids not just resigned to them.  It really is a bad mismatched situation, having more diapers to change is going to keep Anna busy but it's not going to make Josh a better person.  Honestly if he couldn't get his shit together and act like a human to make the most of the family he had when he was in D.C. why should Anna or JB or anyone think some time in prayer jail, a semi-productive slightly illegal used car lot and a few more "blessings" will make him get his act together now.

It blows my mind that Pa Keller is only 59 (Ma is a few years his senior). He looks 10 years older.

He's weeks older than my hubby, whose birthday was yesterday. That's the only reason I remember Pa's age.

I wish I could pinpoint why Anna looks so different. 

TFDW and Priscilla look like fraternal twins. It’s uncanny.

I can't figure it out either. Her weight has always fluctuated because of pregnancies, but aside from an increase in fullness, her face has looked the same. Did she get some kind of plastic surgery? I can't put my finger on it, but her features are somehow different. 

[Lukeysboat]

Her brows are more noticeable. Maybe darker hair and brows? Hmmmm ...

I think it is weight gain (pregnant is my guess) plus like you said, darker hair and eyebrows.

Also age. I’m not suggesting Anna is old (or looks old) by any means but some women change looks between 30-40. I am jealous because this baby face won’t quit me! The only place people know I’m an actual adult is work😣.

Alas, I had that issue for years, and was annoyed by it.  Now, my youngest grandson told me a few years ago that he wouldn't live long enough to count my wrinkles!  My beauty advice to my 15 year old granddaughter is "sunscreen". Enjoy it while you can.  And..."sunscreen"!!

Ha! Thank you very much. I believe in sunscreen. I also think people look younger and brighter when they are happy and emotionally fulfilled. My Mom says that women have an inner “glow” when they are happy. I think Anna does love her kids and gets emotional fulfillment/self esteem from the mom/child relationship, but as far as her “woman side”........a inner sadness could make her look different.

Whoa!  My parents are mid 60s and look WAY younger!  Anna’s mama has always looked old to me.

Having that many kids & no money has to be stressful!

[Christina87]

Wow, Josh is looking rough! I try not to be hard on people due to weight, since I gained a lot of weight myself, but this cult judges women so hard for gaining after multiple children, yet lets men do whatever. I'm sure Josh would quickly judge Anna if she wasn't up to his standards, and he chases after porn stars, after all. He's definitely not having affairs with homely, plump women! This makes me think joshley may have a double standard where looks are concerned. 

It's so easy to imagine Josh as the person he wanted to be. He looks just like the sleazy lawyer who would write you on OkCupid in a sweet, heartfelt way. You'd look at his pictures and think he looks like a total sleaze, but go against your better judgment because his messages seem so nice. As the date gets closer, he'd be really commenting overboard on your beauty, and how he hopes you're the one for him. Then, he'd take you out to an overpriced dinner and brag on himself and his hotshot lawyer career. He'd probably even have two phones; one for "work," and he'd constantly keep answering both of them, as well as texting, with a brusque, "sorry." Then, he'd take you to a movie and attempt to slide his hand up your skirt and grope you in the movie theatre. He'd then be shocked when you said no to a second date!

not that I have experience with people like that, or anything. 😂😂😂

Still, if Josh had taken that route, he would have professional success in a career he could stay in forever. While he'd be a vile person, he wouldn't be on the front of People magazine, nor would his behavior be outside the norm of douchebaggery. Eventually, he would probably be able to move on and find a nice woman. But that picture looks EXACTLY like one a sleazy tool would have on a dating site.
