Duggar family news 2016: Josh Duggar reconnects with family, starts working for his younger brother; acts staged for publicity?

Josh Duggar apparently has been taken back in by his in-laws the Kellers whom he was spending some quality family time with, and is now busy with his new sales work under the supervision of his 17-year-old brother.

Josh even attended the funeral of the Keller grand matriarch, DeLores with his wife Anna and their children. During the memorial, he was spotted posing for pictures with David Waller, the husband of Anna's sister Priscilla, and with Anna's brother Daniel.

These — especially the close interactions with Daniel Keller — can be taken as indications that Josh is back to being at peace when around the presence of the Keller family, and that Anna's family may have actually forgiven Josh for his previous transgressions. Daniel was always very straightforward at denouncing Anna's marriage with Josh after the latter's acts of infidelity were revealed. He was steadfast with his opinion that his sister should immediately file for divorce.

If followers of the Duggar family's story will base their judgment on the reports and photos about Josh's renewed life after his faith-based rehabilitation treatment, they can claim that Josh is now more at ease with Anna's family. He was even reportedly happier in Florida with the Kellers than when he is with his own kin.

Meanwhile, back in Arkansas, he now has his younger brother as his boss since he no longer has an executive director job waiting for him to enjoy in Washington, D.C. Josh was removed from the position after news of the scandal he was involved in broke, which sent him to a facility that treats sexual addiction.

Josh seems up for the challenge of helping out in their family's business of remodeling homes and used cars, which should be relatively easy for him because of his experience in selling vehicles before moving to D.C. with his wife.

On the other side of the news are critics accusing the Duggars of putting up a front through taking these photos of a "happy" Josh while he is "working" in order to salvage his damaged image following the infidelity reports. The Duggars are also accused of doing this to make fast money. The Examiner quoted some Facebook users throwing these accusations at the family and noting that Josh knew that he was being photographed.

Josh became known for his appearances in the cancelled reality TV series "19 Kids and Counting" which focused on the life of the Duggar family. The cancellation of the show reportedly cost the family millions.
