Anna Duggar and the M Kids - Part 5

[choralcrusader8613]

I think that we'd calculated that he'd pass the six-month mark later this month.

The Duggar Site posted the announcement on Aug 26 that Josh had checked into rehab the previous day.  So, depending on how they count the six months (could be by date or could be by sets of weeks, for example) he should be done with the treatment between Feb 21 to 29, with the most likely date being Fri Feb 26.  

I wouldnt be surprised if they got him out the previous weekend and the public didn't hear for sure that he was out until Easter (which is March 27).

On the other hand, they may be planning a People cover. "Prodigal Son Comes Home."

I can definitely see that happening, but I hope they don't get another People cover. You'd think that after the scandals came out, People would stop splashing the Duggars across their front page.

It will certainly be interesting to see how the publicity surrounding his release from Holy Jail plays out.

I think they'll try to make his release as secret as possible and have him settle with Anna and the kids for a few weeks. I can then see them being tasteless enough (and People being so!) to be on the front cover.

Agreed. They will try to bring him back as a kind of savior or angel from heaven or something. I can see that. Most of the public do forget quickly, even in a very severe case of child molestation. They do forget and don't care. They (the Duggars and the media) prepared the come back very nicely:

My theory goes a like this: TLC knew about the child molestation and that Josh was cheating on Anna for the last couple of years. They didn't say anything because they didn't want to hurt the brand (after all it's their show). When the child molestation scandal broke (because of outsiders using the freedom of information act), sh*t got out of control. The public outrage was huge, understandably. TLC wanted to take back control of the situation by creating another scandal to distract from the first one by leaking the information that Josh had an (one or two) AM account. They realized that this still didn't calm the public down about the child molestation, so they "hired" Danica Dillon to give the second scandal a face and a voice during Josh's hiding. The specials that came after the scandals almost entirely focused on Josh's cheating and not on the child molestation. They referred to the second scandal in direct words like: leading a double life, cheating, divorce or not divorce,... but only referred to the first (more severe) scandal with vague expressions like: the first situation, or simply: not at all. (TLC realized that the interview right after the first scandal where they spoke directly baout it weren't perceived well by the public). They made it look like the second scandal was much worse for the Duggars. When the public finally calmed down a bit they got rid of Danica (she dropped her charges against Josh) and made i tlook like she lied. Very good manipulation.

I don't know if that's the truth but it looks like it went down like this.

The public will forget about the scandals because of that manipulation and distraction. And they probably will get the People cover and the show will go on.

[Fundie Bunny]

Yes, and TLC of course hacked thousands of AM accounts. TLC is not that powerful.

[Trynn]

I... Think that is giving them waaaaay too much credit. I won't say it's outside of the realm of possibility, but I will say that the probability of that happening is extremely low.

[habert]

How could TLC know Josh was cheating on Anna? Like, who at TLC and how and why? :/

I wouldn't be surprised if there was some vague knowledge of some vague "incident" (i.e. the molestations) by executives directly working with the Duggars, and they choose to ignore it/not investigate to make money off of them, but beyond that

I mean, the information about the incident was actually available, and it took more than a decade for it to surface, even when rumors circulated for years. I doubt TLC orchestrated anything. Rather they chose to play dumb in the face of evidence once they knew they had a hit show on their hands.

Josh may have learned to do something useful at RU, which I'm sure would have been coordinated with Jim Bob.  Don't they offer classes? 

Keep in mind too that JB  TLC was always having experts in to teach the kids to do things on their own so that they wouldn't have to pay for experts later.   They had all kinds of people teaching them how to fix and/or build things when they built the TTH .    Joshy can flip houses.    

If Joshy could get a job laying houses instead of hookers he'd could do double duty there on his knees - lay the carpet and pray as he's doing it. 

[Dandruff]

I wouldn't be surprised if TLC knew or had suspicions about the molestations.  If someone could tip off Oprah, providing enough detail for her to take action, then why wouldn't TLC also have been provided with the information?

I also wonder whether Joshley would have bought into Ashley Madison at all, if he didn't have income from TLC to do it with.

[season of life]

To what extent TLC knew about the molestation problems, we'll never know. It's possible they had a couple of hints and knew about the whole thing, but it's not like anyone will ever confirm it to the public. I assume whatever suspicions they had about Jim Bob and his family flew out the window when they saw the kind of publicity and money 19 Kids and Counting was getting.

I found out about the first scandal (the molestation) from a People cover.

I can definitely see where you're coming from. 

I don't know what to think about Danica tbh. Unfortunately, we do not know what exactly happened between her and Josh (if anything at all). 

I'm starting to wonder if Josh cheated at all - I mean I know that he had an "affair guaranteed" package with AM, but he had two accounts; meaning he MAY not have been successful? This is all speculation of course and could be based on the fact fundies may see porn as "cheating" on your spouse.

Also based on the speculative fact that there are possibly or possibly not women out there who have had affairs with Josh Duggar and don't want to admit it. I for one would not sleep with him - he is disgusting - inside AND out.

If TLC were this good at manipulating the public, their ratings would be better.  

I don't doubt that they knew something about the molestation, but I find it very improbable that they knew Josh had an AM account or that they had anything to do with Danica's accusation.

I don't think Josh would have been send off to Jesus Rehab if he hadn't had an affair. If it was simply a matter of "lusting in his heart" with the AM accounts that never yielded an affair, he'd still be out and about, just like he was after the molestation scandal hit. He could have just said, "I lusted in my heart and made these accounts, but thanks to god's intervention, I never had a physical affair," and the leghumpers would have been appeased. That Josh would just completely disappear for six months suggests that affairs and porn were just the tip of the iceberg.

I agree. The Duggars would have spun the story very much differently if Joshy boy had just looked at porn and created accounts without ever using them so physically cheat.

Or maybe JB paid off any who actually hooked up w/  Smugs.

To me an 'affair' suggests some kind of ongoing relationship, whereas w/ Josh I'm thinking more of a one night stand scenario because he just seems too narcissistic to have a real relationship with a woman. 

I've had friends fall in love/lust with some real losers, so it's possible some woman convinced herself she was in love w/ very married Josh. Sadly Anna believes herself to be in love with him, but I've not seen much evidence that he loves her.

Apropos of nothing in this thread save Anna Duggar makes chickenetti:

 

I'm so ashamed. My daughter tagged me on Facebook with a recipe. For "chicken spaghetti".. I'm just so ashamed.

Magazins will be willing to pay A LOT für this Cover. My guess is a People Cover between March and April at the latest. "Our new life" "Our fesh start" or "Or second weeding" "How God strenghed or marriage by defeating satan" "We are closer than ever" . Maybe even combined with a pregnancy announcment (Anna sure prays for a quick pregnancy 24/7). But this Coverstory is coming. Soon. For sure.

I think it's more likely that they're shipped off to Big Sandy to help the Wallers fix up their house.

I agree. At least Anna will have her slightly more brain-dead sister for company. 

For a while I felt sorry for Anna as it seemed (OK, now I realize it was all staged) that she was really happy in Washington, meeting some Gothard friends (although even I didn't fall for the military-couple at the dinner party), discovering there are such things as public libraries and nice restaurants, wearing some cute clothes ...

but for whatever reason, she seems to want to stay firmly entrenched in the camp. She has siblings who are out and offered to help her so I don't buy total ignorance of the outside world as an excuse. I'm pretty much over Anna now.

Hopefully the Kardashians do something more "noteworthy" that week so there are no Duggars on the cover.

What your forgot to factor in the equation is that flipping houses is work. Josh, like all the Duggars and their inlaws, seems to be allergic to anything that requires actual effort from him.

With the money begging kanye to bring more beauty in this world, i think we are already covered. I predict the divorce will come in a year tops, or as soon as kris can make him the super duper bad boy and poor kimmie the victim
