Hide your kids: Nervous parents remove their children after Josh Duggar makes an appearance at a mini-golf course.

Disgraced reality star Josh Duggar made parents angry and nervous last week at Old MacDonald’s Farm mini-golf course in Sevierville, Tenn. According to an exclusive report filed by In Touch Weekly, things turned awkward and uncomfortable after people recognized the sexual predator and his father, Jim Bob, at the mini-golf course.

An eyewitness reports:

Three families with young girls were unhappy Josh was so close to them and left the golf course when they saw him and Jim Bob. The parents were not comfortable. The staff tried to be as polite as possible to the angry parents, but it seemed there was little they could do to stop Josh from being a customer.

The eyewitness added:

I don’t know if Josh and Jim Bob were aware of the problems their presence was causing at the mini-golf course.

It is not surprising that parents would be nervous about having their children close to Duggar. The disgraced family values advocate and former reality star has confessed to molesting his younger sisters and cheating on his wife Anna Duggar by paying for rough sex with a former porn star.

Last March Duggar checked out of a Christian “faith-based” rehabilitation center for “porn addiction.” However, the so-called rehabilitation center is not a medical institution, it is instead a faith-based scam that preys on gullible conservative Christians like the Duggars. Thus, it is doubtful Duggar has changed or even come to terms with his abusive past.

Bottom line: Josh Duggar is a predator, and parents should be nervous when he is around.

Disgraced family values advocate Josh Duggar has checked out of a Christian “faith-based” rehabilitation center.

The eldest son of Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar and star of TLC’s 19 Kids and Counting had been undergoing treatment for what he describes as an addiction to Internet pornography.

The 28-year-old former reality TV star and anti-LGBT activist spent six months at a facility in Illinois after admitting to multiple infidelities. However, the facility, Reformers Unanimous, is not a medical institution, but a faith-based scam that preys on gullible conservative Christians like the Duggars.

Thus Duggar received no legitimate counseling, only religious propaganda that conforms to his family’s conservative Christian extremism.

Duggar entered the long-term, “faith-based treatment center” in August 2015, just after confessing to cheating on his wife Anna, using the website Ashley Madison, and being addicted to porn.

Concerning Duggar’s departure from rehab, the Duggar family website issued the following statement:

Josh has completed his residential rehabilitation program. We are so thankful for everyone who worked with Josh in this program. It was a crucial first step in recovery and healing for Josh. Josh has now returned to Arkansas, where he will continue professional counseling and focus on rebuilding relationships with his family. We look to God for help and guidance and place all of our trust in Him. We are forever grateful for the love and prayers offered by so many and hope you will continue to pray in the days ahead.

TLC cancelled “19 Kids and Counting,” after it was revealed that Josh Duggar sexually assaulted four of his underage sisters plus an additional underage female victim.

Compounding and contributing to the crime, a “conspiracy to “forgive and forget” forged by the Duggar parents and church leaders allowed Josh Duggar to escape criminal prosecution for sexually assaulting his underage victims.

Last year, while speaking with Megyn Kelly on Fox News, Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar denied their son Josh was a pedophile and blamed the media for targeting the family in an anti-Christian conspiracy.

However, before entering the faux rehab Duggar admitted to living a “double life” in a statement confirming his involvement with Ashley Madison, the infamous website for individuals interested in arranging extramarital affairs.

In that statement Duggar confessed to his hypocrisy and his betrayal:

I have been the biggest hypocrite ever. While espousing faith and family values, I have secretly over the last several years been viewing pornography on the internet and this became a secret addiction and I became unfaithful to my wife.

Last month porn actress Danica Dillon quietly dropped a lawsuit against Josh Duggar. In that lawsuit Dillon alleged that Duggar “assaulted her to the point of causing her physical and emotional injuries” while they were having consensual sex after he propositioned her in a Philadelphia strip club last year.

Yet despite the scandal, the hypocrisy, and the odious reality of the Duggar family. the prodigious evangelical Christian family will return March 15 to TLC with the first full season of “Jill and Jessa: Counting On,” a new reality show focusing on the two eldest married daughters — who each admitted that their eldest brother Josh molested them as children.

In promotional videos for the new series Duggar’s sisters/victims claim they have forgiven their brother, while his wife Anna Duggar discusses her ongoing public humiliation.

Bottom line: With the Duggars returning to TLC, it is only a matter of time before Josh makes an appearance. Let’s hope they protect the children.

Disgraced reality TV star Josh Duggar has checked himself into a long term treatment center after being implicated in multiple salacious scandals.

News of Duggar entering rehab comes only six days after he admitted to living a “double life” in a statement confirming his involvement with Ashley Madison, the infamous website for individuals interested in arranging extramarital affairs.

In that statement Duggar confessed to his hypocrisy and his betrayal:

I have been the biggest hypocrite ever. While espousing faith and family values, I have secretly over the last several years been viewing pornography on the internet and this became a secret addiction and I became unfaithful to my wife.

Now, in a statement issued earlier today, August 26, Duggar’s parents, Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar, declared that their son had “brought great insult to the values and faith we hold dear,” while sharing the news that their oldest son had entered a long-term treatment center.

Duggar Family Statement:

We are so thankful for the outpouring of love, care and prayers for our family during this most difficult situation with Josh. As parents we are so deeply grieved by our son’s decisions and actions. His wrong choices have deeply hurt his precious wife and children and have negatively affected so many others. He has also brought great insult to the values and faith we hold dear. Yesterday Josh checked himself into a long-term treatment center. For him it will be a long journey toward wholeness and recovery. We pray that in this he comes to complete repentance and sincere change. In the meantime, we will be offering our love, care and devoted support to Anna and our grandchildren as she also receives counsel and help for her own heart and future. During this time we continue to look to God—He is our rock and comfort. We ask for your continued prayers for our entire family.

The good news is that Duggar is seeking treatment. There can be no doubt that Josh needs counseling and some serious help. Last month TLC cancelled “19 Kids and Counting,” after it was revealed that Josh sexually assaulted four of his underage sisters plus an additional underage female victim.

Adding insult to injury, last week Josh released a statement declaring “I have been the biggest hypocrite ever” and admitting to living a “double life” while confirming his involvement with Ashley Madison, the infamous website for individuals interested in arranging extramarital affairs.

And earlier today, multiple media outlets report that Duggar paid for sex with porn star Danica Dillon while his wife Anna was pregnant with their fourth child.

What is alarming is not so much that Josh paid for consensual sex, what is alarming is that Dillon reports that the sexual encounter was traumatizing, and that Duggar was violent with her and refused to use protection.

Duggar’s behavior indicates a serious and troubling problem with women. No doubt his despicable behavior is linked at least in part to his traumatizing upbringing in an environment of Christian extremism.

Indeed, Duggar is a victims of Christian patriarchy, a victim of Christian homeschooling, a victim of Christian parents who raised him to be an ideological prop in their perverted and deluded fantasy of Christian dominion.

Duggar is a victim of the radical Christian lifestyle known as the Quiverfull movement, a movement where children are raised to be cannon fodder in the Lord’s army: culture warriors bred to promote an ugly, intolerant, sexist, and homophobic brand of Christian extremism.

Given the extreme pressures of his parents’ perverse Christian faith, coupled with the pressures of being a child reality star, it is easy to understand why Duggar might be experiencing problems as an adult.

While the good news is that Duggar is seeking treatment, the bad news is that reports indicate Duggar has entered a “faith based” treatment program, which means Josh will not get the help he needs. Instead, in a Christian treatment center approved of by his extremist parents, Josh will probably end up blaming Satan for his misbehavior, rather than taking responsibility for his own actions.

Hiding behind religious superstition is not going to help Josh Duggar. For Josh, checking into some fundamentalist “faith based” treatment center is like an alcoholic going to a bar to stop drinking. It’s not going to work.
