I never followed the Duggars super closely, but I do remember there being stories about a family that allowed Josh to live with them after one of the allegations against him. I seem to remember that the wife was very uncomfortable with having him in her home, but the husband made the decision that they would take him. Was that the Holts? Or a different family?

Late to the party indeed, but I'm on Ep3 and I am gobsmacked by how closely this crap resembles Scientology. They even reference Tom Cruise & Scientology in either Ep1 or 2.
And WTAF re: the PO against Jim Holt by Bobye. They seemed like such a united front in the first 2 eps.

I think there are a lot of layers and false fronts.
It’s the coercion, forced labor, and lies that are similar. Plus a whole lot more. It’s a high control group. I don’t know if I ever thought that they were beating the children to keep them compliant. Or that they were suffering educational neglect.
They sure did look happy.
I think Jana’s story, if she ever tells it, is going to be the big one.

That for sure will be a heartbreaking doozy
only if she's capable of being honest which I'm not sure she's capable of after all these years of such a controlling influence. She is in her 30s and thus unsmarriagiable by their cult standards which is pretty much their definition of a woman's value.

That is a very valid point!
Which is why she is living the biggest cover story of all of them.
