Sweet Fellowship: Duggars and Friends (aka the Bates Family and Other Featured Families Thread)


Message added by Scarlett45

If a person/family was never featured on any of the Duggar shows, and is not related to the Duggar family by blood or marriage, they do not need to be discussed here..

The Politics Policy is still in effect. A participants social media is NOT an invitation to discuss their political view points. Consider if discussion of certain social media posts will cause you to violate the politics policy BEFORE you hit the "Submit Reply" button.

We may all agree that David Rodriques is quite unfortunate looking, but let's refrain from comparing human beings to apes, its got way too much of a loaded history- please review the new Inclusion Policy updated May 1, 2022 , which details guidelines around discussing body type, capabilities, physical appearance etc. Additionally, using body size as an insult is not allowed.

Where did he get those crazy statistics? It sounds like Jill Dillard's insistence that something like 2/3 of all families suffered familial sexual abuse. At least we know Jill got that from Gothard.

Sand strong. Such a way with words.

And those pictures of the girls...remember the dolls with the huge eyes? They made a movie about the creators, ugly things even though my uncle bought me one and I hid it in a closet because I was afraid of it.

The amount of double entendres he used in this epiphany is so damn funny.  "Guy's, rise up..."  That's what these men, including our forefathers, were trying to do.   And stop using your last name and picture when you post. There's only one Tim in your immediate family.  No one is going to think you're someone else.

He most likely got those statistics from Mommy Dearest.

This is NOT!! Timothy Rodrigues!! What's more, how f-ing creepy is it that Jill, WHO TOTALLY WROTE THIS, is using her albino-bat-faced son to pontificate about porn. Why didn't she use Shrek? Or is he among the "75%" of "porn users?" 

And last time I checked, there was no mention of our "forefathers" in the Bible.

And what grown man, likely addicted to porn according to Timbits, is going to listen to the blatherings of a 19 year old kid?

the blatherings of a 19 yr old on his mommy's fb page no less.

Hmm I venture Tim's definition of porn is similar to that of a graduating senior whom I had the misfortune of being paired with on a class project at a religious college. She told me Jim Caviezel refused to participate in porn. And I was like, "do you mean simulated sex scenes? Because if you don't, you know A LOT more about his career than the rest of us."

She was 21/22 years old and just a couple of months away from getting married and literally did not know the difference between a regular old sex scene in a movie and porn, and she thought I was some sort of godless bitch for knowing what porn was. I don't even watch porn myself, but c'mon, this isn't rocket science, people! 

On another note, I laughed my ass off at poor Tim's drivel. Or should I say Jill's drivel? I get the strong impression either Tim has been tempted or Daddy Dearest was. This was prompted by more than just random stats about "claiming Christian men." BTW, Tim/Jill, I think the word you were looking for was "professing."

But Tim is not on his own. He is living with someone who is exactly like mom aka watches/monitors him constantly.

I wonder what the Rods standard for "addicted" is.  Like, if you look at a boob once a year, or maybe you have to watch Baywatch reruns once a week.  

By that standard, I'm sure the numbers are 99.99%! My feelings about porn are complicated. I think it's fine and have even watched it. At the same time, not all porn is created equal. That much of it is quite violent and dehumanizes women is a real concern.

Jill had to decide between rushing out a sloppy post on porn or coming up with something she could feed her children for dinner. 

Porn wins!

I believe Timothy and Nuri write their "guest posts," after being coached heavily by Jill that God is leading them to do so. Part of my job as a copy editor is recognizing different "voices" in writing styles. Everyone has a unique one. Either Jill is quite gifted at changing her normal style, or, more likely, her adult children are brainwashed robots happy to "minister" by writing little sermons like this.

How was this barndominium able to sell as a primary residence? I thought they had to pass all codes to be lived in full time? Do they get a pass for barndominiums? I mean,for goodness sake,there are PEOPLE,not farm animals in them! I know,that's an easy joke for the Rods.I mean no disrespect for those poor kids, though

Part of the building is built, and apparently has been used, as a residence. Probably a "primary" residence. The Rods aren't changing its use. There may well be practical issues with such a large family living init but I would be surprised if it were per se illegal

It still bothers me that some of Pris’ nephews have their heads shaved and some don’t. I really hope it was something like lice rather than a humiliating punishment. I have no faith in the child rearing and nurturing abilities of these people.

I'm going to maybe defend her a bit here, the EW sticker seems to be on what looked to possibly be some kind of prepared bugs or larva of some sort. While such things are much more common in some places around the world, in the US, not so much. Sure it's a very immature response, but not exactly an uncommon one.

How does she even know what Zambian food taste like if she's never had it. It looks more nourishing than anything she gets after Shrek is done eating. 

She never gets a plate that full.

I thought it looked like shredded meat, all fried up.  Pork or chicken, maybe?

She said she went to Africa on a mission 2 years ago.  Any idea what country?

from the JRod blog Jan 2018

"David and Nurie are on a Mission’s Trip right now to AFRICA!  It was Nurie’s hope and prayer to go on a Mission’s Trip before she married someday.  She worked hard to raise her own money for the trip and God provided through various ways for David to raise his own money to go.  David met some GREAT missionaries (the Haleys) to Botswana, Africa and felt called to go there for the trip.  Nurie has looked forward to this for quite some time and is THRILLED to be serving in this capacity.  She strives to stay busy in the work of the Lord while she waits for God to bring His perfect mate to her someday.  While in Africa, they are planning to do a LOT of door knocking and soul winning while there."

I’m certain that her sons are averse to porn star makeup, since they associate it with their mother and sisters. 

Or . . . it could be an Oedipal draw for that reason? I still can't get over Jill talking about her kids going on dates with each other. What the fuck!

also regarding David and Nurie's trip

david posted this in may 2018. also there is a 4 minute video on youtube - it is the usual missioncation white savior/tourist pics.

"i would like to give a praise for the folks we have seen saved in our travels the last few months. I was personally able to lead a lady to the Lord in Botswana, Africa during our missions trip. Praise the Lord!! We have seen several folks make professions of faith in our revival services and missions conferences the last few months. Phillip and Timothy were both privileged to lead folks to Christ during our missions conference at New Testament Baptist Church this year. It is a blessing to see our children grow and be excited about serving God.

Our missions trip to Botswana, Africa was a wonderful experience and a tremendous opportunity for both Nurie and myself. Nurie’s good friend Jasmine Cady also went with us. We were able to hand out a few thousand pieces of literature while there. We gave out John and Romans as well as New Testaments. We were able to spend time out in the streets, at the Combe stops, and in the schools. We also went door to door and shared the Gospel with several folks. Pray for missionary Mike and Cindy Haley. They are doing a great work there! I would recommend visiting them in Botswana, Africa if you are interested in a missions trip for your Church. Most folks speak English and are widely open to a clear presentation of the Gospel. We were able to speak freely and had the liberty to propagate the Gospel almost anywhere we went. "

So Jill's decided Kaylee will be a photographer.

Well, JD flies planes, so Tim had to be a pilot.

The oldest Duggar child married a Keller child, so Jill made sure her oldest child became acquainted with (and engaged to) an available Keller child. 

Middle-aged Michelle had Miracle Josie and middle-aged Jill had Miracle Janessa. 

Jinger was the "photographer" of the Duggar family, so (andKaylee) is the photographer of the Rod family.  

I'm waiting to see which Rodlet will be the "midwife," which will be the "house flipper," which will want to be a "preaching mechanic for the Lord," which will try to run for public office, and which will be the one into redecorating everything with shiplap.

looking into the Haleys and their group BIMI ministries (baptist international ministires Inc)

no trips to Botswana this year, but for $3,000 you can go be a god botherer at the olympics in Japan. they are also asking for extra funds for tracts and gospel fans to hand out...

Yikes, that kid needs Proactiv or Accutane or something.

I can't believe these people fly halfway around the world to harass people about God. Aren't they doing that enough stateside? And shoving fliers at people and eating local food is accomplishing what? How is that spreading any kind of gospel? AND the Shraders aren't "sacrificing" anything to live in Africa. That was their (well, John's) choice. 

And what they hell does "you refresh my soul" mean? It sound ponographic to me.

How does Tim know what porn is? Or what does he think it is? 

And Tim's forefathers had their own version of porn. Porn has evolved much like everything else in the world.

I don't think "guarding your minds and thoughts" by pretending bodies aren't beautiful and sexy, and pretending sex isn't beautiful, fun and pleasurable, is going to reduce the amount of porn being watched.

But guard away, Timmy guard away.

Ever see the "Weird Al" Yankovic  video for Amish Paradise?

In what sane world...

1) Does anyone make a deep and lifelong commitment to a religion based on a cheap-ass flier shoved into their hands by a psycho white person?

2) Does anyone make a deep and lifelong commitment to a religion based on six minutes of harassment from anyone?

In the world of David Rodrigues.  He says he was saved by a smiley face tract.  Of course, that wouldn't qualify as a sane world, but that's the best I can do.
