Where in the world is Josh Duggar? Flight plans for the Duggar's plane, tail number N68SY:

Hat tip, Joe.My.God: CLAIM: Josh Duggar Is Missing From Jesus Rehab

Josh Duggar is missing from treatment center: report

....
Today marks one full week since Josh Duggar was reported to have entered a rehab facility by the name of Reformers Unanimous, which is a facility that his parents, Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar have supported many times in the past. The statement by his parents did not name the treatment center that Josh was attending.

Many of the media outlets seized upon Reformers Unanimous as the the treatment facility because of Jim Bob and Michelle’s involvement with the center. That, combined with the flight records of the Duggar‘s private plane showing a late night trip to Rockford, Illinois with a ten minute turn-around time between arriving at the Rockford airport and the aircraft departing for a return to the Springdale airport seemed to indicate that RU was where Josh would be serving out his long term ‘treatment’ for sex and pornography addiction.

There is only one big problem with that assumption. Not a soul in Rockford, Illinois has actually spotted Josh Duggar among the individuals receiving treatment at RU. He hasn’t been seen coming or going from any of the mandatory church services at North Love Baptist Church. This is especially odd considering the rules at Reformers Unanimous posted on their website claim it would be a mandatory part of everyone’s recovery process at RU. There has been absolutely no sightings of Josh anywhere in Rockford or RU. No sightings at all.
....

But there is another possibility. According to publicly available flight plans on file with the FAA on August 27th, the Duggar plane went to Paragould, Arkansas and stayed much of that day before flying back to Springdale. There is no clear reason for the Duggars to be in Paragould. No known friends live there, it is across the state from their home and they own no businesses or land in Paragould. ... There are a few ministries and Christian-based therapy places in the Paragould area. Most treat women with chemical addictions. One of the places where it is possible Josh might be at in Paragould is the Grace Mission Bible Training Center. Grace lists addiction treatment as one of the services they offer.

News: Where in the World is Josh Duggar?

September 1, 2015 by Suzanne Calulu

While People Magazine and other tabloids are speculating mightily about the type of treatment Josh Duggar may be receiving at Reformers Unanimous in Illinois some rather curious news comes out of that area. No one in Rockford, Illinois has actually spotted Duggar among the other recovering addicts at RU. He hasn’t been seen coming or going from the mandatory twice a Sunday services at North Love Baptist Church. Which is odd considering it would be a mandatory part of his recovery process at RU. There has been absolutely no sightings of Josh anywhere in Rockford or RU.

What The Hollywood Channel points out in their article on the non-appearance of Josh is that on August 27th, the Duggar jet went to Paragould, Arkansas and stayed much of that day before flying back to Springdale. Which is most odd because there is no rehab center in Paragould, or reason for the Duggars to be in Paragould that is obvious.

So where in the world is Josh? What type of ‘rehab’ place is this? Did the family just simply place him again with a ‘family friend’ to do construction as he penance? This story just keeps getting stranger and more mysterious. For a family that likes to shove their children into the lime light they’re being awful quiet on where Josh actually is at the moment. Questions, questions.

I wouldn't be surprised if they said he was going to one place to ensure all the media focus' there but ends up somewhere else. Is he really that interesting?

2. Grace Mission Bible Training Center

This is likely where Josh Duggar is. It is a Bible Study Training program run by graduates of the program. No indication of any actual professional staff equipped to handle addictions. The Duggars apparently still think that Jesus is going to fix Josh.

A DAY AT THE MISSION

Bible Study at Mission Teens. We treat each person in our center as a member of the family. Junior staff members and higher-ranking residents teach the "younger" residents. Senior Staff and directors handle the major problems and decisions. Each one is expected to do his or her part to make the "family" run as smoothly as possible. There are 5 1/2 hours of Bible study per day, and the training amounts to approximately 1 year of Bible school. There is a comprehensive study of the New Testament and a general study of the Old Testament. The daily schedule varies slightly at the centers, but fundamentally remains the same.
THE TRAINING PROGRAM

Chores at Mission Teens. Our purpose is to provide hope to the hopeless. It is our goal to direct the people to the Lord Jesus to find love and a purpose for their lives, and to make disciples of them as the Bible directs. The discipleship-training program is divided up into four phases, each lasting 2-4 months. As the person proves that he/she can handle the increasing responsibilities of each phase, their privileges will increase. It is a highly structured program with a rigid daily schedule. Everyone is expected to obey the house rules and follow the schedule. Infractions of the rules or schedule are corrected with writing assignments, loss of privileges or extra work chores.

The first phase of the training is a 2-month induction period with very few privileges or responsibilities. Each individual is simply expected to follow the rules and will begin to understand how to seek the Lord.

The next two phases add some general household responsibilities, which will add normal life pressures and cause the person to seek the Lord for help. Privileges in these two phases include phone calls and visits from immediate family (and pastoral or legal counsel) only. No friends are allowed to visit or call any person in the discipleship training.

In the final phase, the person is in "counselor training." He will counsel one person each day and make a report to senior staff. He is expected to be a good example in the house and to learn to help others as he was helped.

Upon completion of the program, the person may be offered an additional 10-12 month staff-training program.

Guess the Duggars, like Crefalo Dollar (isn't that last name ironic) believe in "prosperity gospel."
