Maybe they are trying to be good Christians, but it sounds like some arrogance at play to me. You alone think you’re capable of managing and monitoring someone capable of these atrocities huh? Because you’re so much closer to God? Good luck with that! People may follow certain religious beliefs with good intentions in the beginning, but extremist beliefs, in any religion, are about nothing more than wanting to feel special and superior. You want to believe you are right, and closer to God, and therefore better, than everyone else with differing beliefs. I don’t know this Reaver fellow, but that’s the vibe I’m getting. The fact that he’d put his “Christian duty” and fealty to Jim Bob above his wife and daughter’s comfort and safety tells me all I need to know about him. I realize I'm biased to hell and back but I honestly think the kindest, most Christian, thing to do would be to keep Josh in jail. Granted the Rebers/Revears/??? can't guarantee that on their own but they didn't have to help facilitate his release either. It would be safer for all involved and would give everyone a chance to detox, for lack of a better word, from Josh. 26 minutes ago, Jeanne222 said: I’m still wondering what he’s been up to the last two years!

Popular Post BradandJanet May 7, 2021 Popular Post Share May 7, 2021 Judging by the Rebers' house, this family can at least afford to feed Josh. If I were Maria, I wouldn't take responsibility for cooking his meals though. Somebody better find Josh some physical labor. He should be digging ditches or painting houses to work off the boredom. A better choice for Josh might be the Pearl family. They can put him on a blanket and hit him when he steps off. JB and Michelle seem to think this technique turns out good people.

Restricted to this residence except for working, education, church, medical services, meeting with lawyers, court ordered obligation, or other activities approved IN ADVANCE by the probation office. - May not possess or view pornography or erotica of any kind - Court does not think it has the technology to limit Josh's use. Josh cannot have computers, phones, smart TVs, gaming systems, etc. He may not ask for the passwords from the Reavers or her daughter. - Josh can get a jitterbug phone to contact counsel as long as it's approved by a probation officer. - Josh cannot leave the Western District of Arkansas. - Josh can have unlimited contact with his children as long as their mother is present.

Minivanessa May 7, 2021 Share May 7, 2021 (edited) I don't think the court requires the Rebers to literally be in Josh's company 24/7 or monitor his movements around their house. They aren't jailers. They are responsible for obeying the court's conditions of release insofar as they are obliged, i.e., no allowing Josh internet access, removing the firearms from the house, no minors in the house, etc. They are also responsible for reporting any violations by Josh that they learn about or see, immediately to the federal probation office. Also, I think I saw on reddit or somewhere, that Mrs. Reber described the guest room that Josh will have, as sort of a "mother in law" apartment, with its own door to the outside. It may be a bedroom-bathroom suite. I wouldn't be surprised if JB comes up with some "work" for Josh to do to get him out of the house at least on weekdays. He could accompany JB on his deal-making rounds or pick up a hammer and work on one of the Duggar rental houses if they still have those. (I believe JB has a portfolio of commercial properties he gets lease income from. Maybe JB no longer dabbles in fix/flip houses but rather gives those to his sons.) I think Josh signed himself out on his own recognizance, also didn't see a bail amount stated. The conditions imposed by the court come with costs that Josh/JB will have to pay including the ankle monitor.

cereality May 7, 2021 Share May 7, 2021 Yes normally he could go to work, Church, drs and lawyer meetings alone. It wouldn’t be the Rebers obligation to accompany him. Theory is his Probation Officer approved it so it’s ok for him to be there — ie PO believes there’s no computer he can use at church or his work or drs office. Now what if he stops at FedEx Office on the way and looks at something on those public computers? That’s between him and the Probation Officer. If ever there was a time for a construction job in the hot Arkansas summer sun, this is it. Construction notoriously is very loose on background checks (esp for white English speakers) and doesn’t care what you did as long as you won’t murder their other workers and are willing to sweat it out to lay tile or pour driveway concrete. He’d have to be on a job site at 7 am (that makes this unlikely for the fam that sleeps until noon), would come home exhausted at 3 pm, Mrs R could feed him dinner at 6 pm and he’d crash by 8 out of exhaustion.

Any work will have to come thru JB or some “sweet friends” from church like the Rebers who don’t care/don’t believe what he’s done, they are loyal to his godly family. But yeah if one of those jobs happens to be say at a candy store or school, the PO nixes that option as there are kids around - it runs afoul of the court order which doesn’t allow him near minors. Daddy or one of the sweet friends need to come up with a construction or car related job. What about Joe’s FIL - isn’t he a pastor that does some kind of car/auto body work? I mean he may believe in helping a sinner repent while making sure he has zero access to his babies or his grandkids (Joe’s kids). 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/4650-josh-anna-smuggar-a-series-of-unfortunate-events/page/543/#findComment-6766729

MargeGunderson May 7, 2021 Share May 7, 2021 Wherever Josh “works” he won’t be able to have access to a computer or internet access. That certainly limits his options.

GeeGolly May 7, 2021 Share May 7, 2021 POs in my area, depending on the crime, don't tend to trust family members a whole lot, much beyond a place to live. They'd likely approve a dishwasher in an uncle's restaurant, detailing cars in a cousin's shop, or sweeping up in a good friend's nail salon, but working for mommy or daddy is usually a no-go. And they don't like jobs 'without walls', like construction work, lawn services or running cars to and from auctions and repair shops, especially if they're on an ankle bracelet. POs don't want to set them up to fail and they also don't want to make their own work harder. 8 9 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/4650-josh-anna-smuggar-a-series-of-unfortunate-events/page/543/#findComment-6766788

They aren't jailers. They are responsible for obeying the court's conditions of release insofar as they are obliged, i.e., no allowing Josh internet access, removing the firearms from the house, no minors in the house, etc. They are also responsible for reporting any violations by Josh that they learn about or see, immediately to the federal probation office. Also, I think I saw on reddit or somewhere, that Mrs. Reber described the guest room that Josh will have, as sort of a "mother in law" apartment, with its own door to the outside. It may be a bedroom-bathroom suite. I wouldn't be surprised if JB comes up with some "work" for Josh to do to get him out of the house at least on weekdays. He could accompany JB on his deal-making rounds or pick up a hammer and work on one of the Duggar rental houses if they still have those. (I believe JB has a portfolio of commercial properties he gets lease income from. Maybe JB no longer dabbles in fix/flip houses but rather gives those to his sons.) I think Josh signed himself out on his own recognizance, also didn't see a bail amount stated. The conditions imposed by the court come with costs that Josh/JB will have to pay including the ankle monitor. Jeeves sorry your post is here...I hit the wrong button! Lol Josh Dugger working? The same Josh that waltzed out of jail under the wing of a million dollar defense attorney into a waiting chauffeur driven limousine...that Josh Dugger?

I could still see him doing it if he is convicted and has nothing but time to think about how this could be happening to him, Josh Duggar. I doubt he would ever take responsibility for his actions, so blaming his parents would be the obvious solution. Josh only cares about Josh. But I don’t know if he could get access to a ghostwriter in prison or if any publisher would touch him. On 5/3/2021 at 11:46 AM, Zella said: I imagine a publisher wouldn't touch him now. Six-ish years ago when the first revelations were made, if he had played his cards right, it might have worked, but I think the short time between the reveal that he had molested his sisters and the reveal Ashley Madison scandal would have evaporated any claims he had to being reformed. He had a pretty small window, I think, in which it would have conceivably been possible. Arkansas has a "Son of Sam" law that prohibits criminals from benefitting from their crimes, including income from selling their life stories, a tell-all about the crimes, etc. So if Josh were able to string a few sentences together, he will never be able to make a dime on it.
