Finally, little Josh is going into rehab.
Unfortunately, it's not going to inspire most of us to think he's going to be better off for it.
"This rehab specializes in victory!
Borrowing from the information gleaned by others on a different forum.
"He is in Reformers Unanimous in Rockford, Illinois. It is affiliated with the North Love Baptist Church. The treatment includes work, prayer, and Bible study. Talking about "old habits" is not allowed. There are no actual bona fide mental health professionals mentioned."
From their mission statement:
"Our mission is to train and empower men and women to live victorious Christian lives, enabling them to have permanent victory from any and all crippling sins.""
You do that and some of us will
"Is not this the kind of fasting I have chosen: to loose the chains of injustice and untie the cords of the yoke, to set the oppressed free and break every yoke?
Is it not to share your food with the hungry and to provide the poor wanderer with shelter-- when you see the naked, to clothe them, and not to turn away from your own flesh and blood?
Then your light will break forth like the dawn, and your healing will quickly appear; then your righteousness will go before you, and the glory of the LORD will be your rear guard.
The Duggars need to say one thing: "We apologize to the LGBTQ community and humbly ask they forgive us for promoting hate, discrimination, prejudice and fear."
Since that will never happen.... they SHOULD stay radio silent. No one needs to hear from the Duggars any more.

I agree with you completely. They should also apologize to Christians for giving such a poor representation of them, and to all people who are faithful to their spouses. And I think the Duggar parents should be apologizing, too.

Let's not hold our breath waiting for people like them to do the right thing.
The Daily Mail seems to be cautious about whether this is a good solution or not. However, if they really do get him to spend a lot of lot of time assiduously reading the Bible, some good may come of it. He may come out an atheist.

ha ha ha ha ha! That's a good one. The DM is usually rather flamboyant in their articles, but this one was surprisingly held back.

LOL!!! I read the Bible meticulously and am still a man of faith. But the difference between me and the Duggar types is the difference between being a man of faith and a man of judgment about others.
I read an article over a year ago that said the surest way to make a liberal Christian is to have them read the Bible very carefully!!
We're gonna getcha, Areq, either in this life or the next!

Warden, I think you have hit the nail on the head about how people practice their faith and the effect it has on them.
