They say the family that prays together, stays together. Except, perhaps, when it comes to the in-laws of Josh Duggar.
In a blog post published Monday morning, Michael Seewald, the father of Josh’s brother-in-law Ben, took a moment to lash out against the admitted child molester and adulterer, who he says leads “a lifestyle of evil.”
“It distresses me to say that Josh Duggar’s greatest sin is a byproduct of the sum total of his secretly sinful lifestyle,” Seewald wrote. “By his hypocrisy, he blasphemed the name of God. He claimed to be a Christian, but by his deeds he has suggested otherwise.”
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
“With the name of God on his lips he lived a covert and extensive lifestyle of evil.”
But it gets better. Or worse, depending on how you look at it.
“After hearing of Josh’s scandal when he was a teenager,” Seewald continued, “I publicly stated that Josh appeared to be a changed man, was walking above reproach, and living out the faith that he professed. I stood in solidarity, encouraging him to use the scandal to build humility and grace. Sadly, he had deceived us all. … Josh was a pretender.”

Seewald’s rant comes just days after Josh’s brother-in-law took to Facebook to express his outrage over the scandal, calling Josh a “pig,” saying he hopes Anna divorces him, and suggesting that “maybe you should go read ur bible instead of beating people over the head with it.”
Josh is currently seeking help for his “sinful behavior” at a treatment center in Illinois. Meanwhile, his parents released a statement saying they are continuing to look to Jesus H. Christ for guidance and support “during this most difficult situation.”

The family saw how much traction the angry brother in law received so they set this up with the father in law.
They are hoping that if they can somehow make this all about Josh and not the way they live that they can rehab their image and get back on the air. Notice how his comment is worded, basically that Josh didn’t follow the right oath, and of course the right path is insinuated to be what his wonderful loving, should be back on TV family, preaches.
This was written by TLC or the Duggars most likely, if they can chuck Josh out, they think they can get their show back.
Oh, side note, the same father who took Josh to talk to two different child molesters after he molested his sisters, sent him to a rehab that is under investigation for hiding somebody from sexual assault charges by keeping them iverseas, out of U.S. reach. The Duggars certainly are close with a lot of child molesters and rapists.

Well, that’s a start!

Yes, he is evil and he’s also a pig, but not for the reasons the in-laws cite. He’s a classic moral hypocrite: Do as I say, not as I do. In addition, he’s sex-obsessed… a condition, no doubt, brought on by his horrifically sex-phobic upbringing. His natural teenage curiosity was so demonized by his “faith” that his only outlet for knowledge was sexually molesting his sisters in their sleep. It was so bad, his parents had to lock their daughters into their own bedrooms just to keep him away from them. I stop short of calling him a “pedophile” but only because he was also a youth at the time and his recent behavior, esp on his secret Facebook account, implies a current passion for strippers and porn actresses.
Either way, he’s not extremely damaged… so yeah, he’s a pig. This “rehab” bullshit is nothing more than a bit of intense Bible-shaming and a place to “dry out” and lay low until the media moves on to the next scandal. If she stays with him, his wife has a few decades of unhappiness ahead of her because this will not stop. He will continue to seek out sexy, lingerie-clad models and “loose” women with whom he can cavort and explore. It’s the Madonna-whore paradigm on steroids.
For all his faults, his parents are far worse. They are the ones who built this monster and they have only themselves to blame. They have 10 sons… so I wonder how many of them are just like Josh. My guess is that there are at least five more heading down a similar impulse-driven path. No doubt that the pressure on them to behave is now even more intense (thanks to Josh’s misdeeds), but they will eventually snap as well. And with 19 kids in the house, there’s also a strong chance that one or two are LGBT. I already feel very badly for that kid(s). Too bad we can’t test them all to see which one(s) is gay or lesbian. If we knew his/her identity, we could remove the child from the family… if for no other reason than to prevent a suicide.
Shame on the whole family… and their entire brand of “Christianity.”

Meh I’m not surprised and it’s an apt description; but I don’t really pay attention to these people.

“… read ur bible instead of beating people over the head with it.” Perfect!
Tony Chaplinski
they even have to think about it, how much proof do you need
Daniel Youngs
How is this fare? Pigs are useful, and they make delicious bacon. Josh has never been useful a day in his life.
Gary Hecklinger
The in laws are correct!!
Larry Chin

Michael Feather
They may as well have said that they believe in the theory of gravity.
Ronald Wei
I am surprised that the in-laws have that much common sense.
Timothy Grover
I hope he gets gang-raped by a bunch of men with very large dicks! And in “Christian” rehab, that’s a possibility!
Hal-James Pederson
Maybe he should move to Kentucky.
