I have thought about this for a few days because I was dealing with 2 urgent real life issues, one resolved and one very complicated. I read the entire red light warning and then followed the poster for updates. I was so confused. Without warning, we are "supposed to work together to resolve by 4/1" with no indication of what the problem is or what needs to be changed. The link following the warning was soon closed to comments. But the need for "diversity" word salad was mind boggling. So at some point a "survey" was done and found white women over 50 were the main commenters. I was not surveyed. No idea who was, like Primetimer site wide, just certain threads or what. Given the Duggars are the topic for this thread, I would say the demographics for the show were older, white, Christian women with access to cable, and then the watch in disbelief, watch and snark types. TLC did not care as long as people were watching. So how would we, as a forum, get who, and how exactly in attempt to diversify? People here now certainly don't share their age, race, lgbtq, religion, marital status etc to join. Does diversify mean to included Duggar defenders? This is a snark site so...🤷‍♀️ I would say we are a fairly diverse group as far as life experience, career experience, living situations that are sometimes easy, sometimes complicated, religious affiliation and personal church history, past family or work history that is complicated. Also, we are fairly diverse in what we react to, and comment on, depending on our own level of interest, knowledge of topic, time we have to spend on responding on any given day or whatever. I don't have knowledge in many areas and have learned a lot from people in various professions and from the life experience of others here. I have found we are quick in small talk to offer care and comfort to those struggling with a life situation with empathy, share related experiences or helpful resources we have used. The conflicts here have seemed minimal. a few feathers ruffled by misunderstandings or whatever. I have PMd people a few times on occasion about misunderstandings. If they are new, maybe offering context they couldn't possibly know or just "let it go, because within 24 hrs we will all be on to the next thing" Various point of views are offered, but I have found most times if a polite differing opinion is offered it is responded to with "I never thought of that" or "that is a valid point" etc. I would miss my community here and the collective knowledge of all things duggar and the snark.☹️

So sad he sold that lawn service, where he claimed to make $5,000 a month, to go pursue mama's grift tour bragging point of "our oldest son Timothy is a licensed pilot with a burden for missionary aviation" Uncle Kevin Foster has a godly lawn care, one of his cousins just started a godly lawn care biz. Tim had the godly lawn care biz, equipment and apparently some customers. Nothing wrong in aiming/aspiring to do something different, but he has been given few tools to achieve in other areas. For all the talk of Heidi has changed him, they will not let Jill run their lives, etc. I predict as soon as they are married and living within 20mins of the barndo Heidi will be assimilated into the rod fam just like Jonathan.

I doubt the gift card was provided by plexus, but i bet the idea to offer a gift came from jill's recent "leadership training". Probably it was "offer a prize to get people to join" or something and Jill had some grift gift cards she could spare. Kaylee offering a $10 gift card and then showing a drink that cost $4 or so was a bit funny though.

Can't you just see Jill making a video and hear her screechsplaining. "did you know Nevaeh is heaven spelled backwards? so neat!!!" Like no one else had ever thought of that, had used, or heard of the name before. Of course Jill wouldn't stop there. She would go on to explain how the best parents ever picked that name to remind their child everyday that this old world is not her home and she will be with Jeesauce in her real home in heaven someday.

I don't believe those posts mean anything directed to Jill or anyone else. Just some motivational fb meme she saw, liked and re posted. Ellen congratulated Jill in the comments on the gender reveal video and was shown in the zoom plexus meeting Kaylee posted yesterday

They could always go with Novah which apparently means new.😂

I thought they did too. But Nurie showed Hannah over for a tea party a while back and I think it is David K performing the western skit with Nathan at Pastor Nathan Keller's church.

David and Hannah Keller seem to live near the Nurthans. Their daughter is named Eden and the other Reber granddaughter is named Genesis.🙄

I don't know that Nathan and Nurie will choose a "biblical" name for a girl. Fundies seem to find biblical names more important for the male offspring. Jill's names for her own children reflect that. Of the girls, I think maybe only Hannah would be considered a biblical name. Newman isn't a bible name, so they had to use the weird logic of new man in christ or whatever to justify. I predict the kellers will pick something they think is unique, but in reality is just a weird name. Oddly spelled, oddly pronounced or something.

As far as fundie z listers and name leaks go, if they needed to do a quick pivot from Denver to something else and came up with Miles, they certainly did it better than when ben and jessa gave up whatever leaked name and went with Spurgeon. 🤣

Also in reality, nothing will change for the Stew crew. Evan will continue to not work and they will continue to spend every damn moment together making "content" videos of them getting coffee, going to Target, exploiting their children etc.

Looks like the Rods collected a love offering of gift cards. They were on the table in front of dave while he films. Anyone think anyone but mama and daddy will get to go to Coldstone for ice cream??

Oh my gosh if ever a video of rods performing needed "music laid over" them singing, this would be a good one. One video of them singing is more than 5 min. At about the 4:15 mark, 2 violins, the 3 younger girls are screeching along and several babies/toddlers join in with wailing of their own 😬

My grands own that same rubber chicken. It makes a most annoying sound and I have hidden the damn thing many times. When we visit next weekend to help them make scout derby cars, the chicken will appear again and I will hide it again. They like to taunt me with the thing. 🤣 I repay the favor by putting crazy songs on their individual amazon echo repeat list.... sometimes I fail there because they decide they like things like Tutti Frutti or It's Raining Tacos

This is a good point. Dave and Nurie went with some missioncation church tour group that most likely did all the planning, booked the flights and all. It has also been about 6 yrs since that trip. Dave would remember to the number how many tracts he gave away on that trip and probably zero about the actual trip logistics.

So Jill is now thinking people on her SM might be getting tired of hearing them again, but not too long ago she posted about not wanting to give up the "praising" part of their ministry because it would be such a disappointment to all those grift churches. The same 10 people at Pastor Nathan Keller's church aren't tired of hearing them?? They have been grifting at some of the same churches for 10 years. Maybe those people would like some "music laid over" and not hear the rods again.

Waiting to see that Mama brought Nurie, Kaylee, Renee, Tessie and Hannah the same matching sleeveless top/dress and them posing for pics with mama without modesty tees. just like mama wore it in the picture from the plane. Never going to happen, but it's a fun thought.

To update The house and property John was shown getting on the show sold 2/20/24 for $575,000. He paid $126,000. when he got it. Property was moved from John to his new llc 12/23. So no capital gains tax or whatever on that money paid by john.

Gideon's safety - It is more the chance of a piece of splintered flying wood hitting him than him being able to reach something. As someone who once had a small splinter of wood removed from their eye, it is quite painful. Jonathan should also be wearing safety glasses, but that won't ever happen. ☹️

Dave is not a golfer, his swing was like he was trying to hit a baseball. no wonder Jill had to go looking for his balls...

not sure about God, but jill damn well believes that is the truth. It's probably scribbled in her bible notes. "god loves me more"

It seems like the last trip to Italy Katie planned (Jed!'s wife) but they still didn't know they needed tickets for the big attractions. Are travel agents a thing anymore? Maybe they have a sweet friend, who helps with logistics. A while back James or Jason defending Jana "she is a world traveler" maybe Jana has a new role in the Duggar enterprise.

It always makes me laugh when these "the government can't take away my rights" types fly and have to do exactly what the gov via TSA tells them. You still have to take off your shoes, empty your pockets, submit to pat downs, declare things in customs just like everyone else. I get subjected to the checks nearly every time I fly. It is always the same thing. Right collarbone. No idea why. It was broken when I was a child, but has no metal or anything. My back has a bunch of metal parts and that is never an issue. 🤷‍♀️

What?? No "Now let me explain" that brings attention to Jill?? Oh the irony of "We are states away from our RV", but are like 7hrs from the barndo. 😂 Jill in another new sleeveless top even though the family blog says "The females in our family wear long skirts and modest blouses (meaning nothing sleeveless or too low) at all times. Scriptures to refer to WHY we dress this way are: Deuteronomy 22:5; (nakedness is described in Isaiah and thus describes what we SHOULD cover) – Isaiah 47:1-3" Someone on Reddit checked frontier flights yesterday from DR to Orlando with connection in Philly. None cancelled or delayed. So the fiasco was probably created by Jill and Dave.

I can't believe people at the grift churches can see Jill and Dave spending money on themselves and still sign up to give them money, buy crap from their "ministry table", buy gas for the RV, fix the RV, donate paper, etc. Also can't believe people responding to Jill's heavily filtered pictures with things like "so beautiful" 🙄🤷‍♀️
