Josh Duggar's 'Rehab' May Just Be A Christian Labor Camp That Has 'No Medical Staff' [View all]

Now, the Duggars this week say Josh has entered rehab. But given their following of Quiverfull practices and their extreme Christian beliefs, chances are good that Josh's "rehab" is Christ-based, not medical-based.

Gawker has published several reports stating that Josh Duggar has likely checked into "the Christian-based, North Love Baptist Church-affiliated Reformers Unanimous recovery center. A place that’s little more than a glorified, bible-based labor camp."

Reformers Unanimous is headed by Dr. Paul Kingsbury who "was raised in a Christian home and came to know the Lord Jesus as his personal Savior at five years of age. At sixteen he surrendered to serve Christ with his life under the preaching ministry of Dr. Jack Hyles of Hammond, Indiana. He began preaching in jails, nursing homes and rescue missions. He attended Maranatha Baptist Bible College and graduated from Hyles-Anderson College in 1976."

Hyles-Anderson College is an unaccredited Independent Baptist college that trains ministers, not M.D.s.
