The judge granted the 33-year-old -- who was arrested for child porn last week -- bail but refused to let him live in the family home with his pregnant wife, Anna Duggar, and their six children. 

Instead, he is required to stay with third-party custodians until his trial on July 6 and they happen to be good friends of Josh's parents, Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar.

"We want to help the family and minister to them. My husband has made the decision and I'm here to support that decision," she allegedly told the judge.

While Duggar gets his freedom, the judge slapped the church couple with a long list of restrictions for taking him in.

Josh is not allowed to access the Internet -- which is easy because LaCount and Maria only have dial-up -- and the couple must remove all of their firearms from the home.

Duggar will be forced to wear an ankle monitor while out on bail and if he violates the terms of his release, the Rebers must let the court know.

As RadarOnline.com reported, despite the stomach-turning allegations surrounding Josh Duggar, he has "unlimited contact" with his six children while he awaits his trial in June. 

Duggar was arrested last week on charges of receiving and possessing child pornography, to which he pled not guilty. 

If found guilty, he could face up to 20 years in prison.
