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

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 outfit looks like a 90s throwback to me, but it also looks good on her and fits in with 90s nostalgia. 

I assumed that was how the outfit came about. Jill has never moved on from 90s styles, so this look is one she would choose... and the outfit happens to be fashionable again because that’s where the cycle is at the moment.

I agree that Jill's technique is off, but she is also using shit product.  She is using the cheapest eyeliner and non-waterproof mascara she can find and it does not set.  It is migrating down her face every time she blinks.  She has to pack it on because the formula sucks and that adds to the mess.  I think she is still buying the same 90s Wet n Wild 99C eyeliner and Maybelline Great Lash.  There are better drugstore products out there made by the same companies.  Jill just won't buy anything else.  

I still want to buy her some Urban Decay 24/7 eyeliners in colors not black and some waterproof Too Faced Better Than Sex mascara.

Nathan is holding a Precious Moments figurine. My MIL used to collect those. She had about 4 bookcases full, plus special holiday ones, Christmas ornaments, They took the tour of the Precious Moments Chapel in Missouri. Then the guy behind Precious Moments, Sam Butcher (not to be confused with Sam THE Butcher) got divorced and all of the Precious Moments figurines were boxed up and put in the attic until MIL broke up housekeeping and distributed them among the children and grandchildren.

Nathan and Nurie are people who look like they could be easily be 38 years old. In the picture above, they look like an old married couple, not two teenagers who "can't wait to kiss". 🙄

With Nurie, I think it's the makeup and hair that age her; I can't figure out what it is with Nathan.

I know, creepy. I hope Nathan takes Nurie far away from Jill and stays far away. Ugh. Methinks Jill wants to do the kissing.

Nurie would look so much nicer with updated hair and lesser (and better) make up. Nathan is just a homely looking guy.

I go with what works, not just cheap My favorite eyeshadow is from the dollar store, my favorite eyeliner and foundation are Revlon....Same with nail polish. I stumbled on $2 nail polish at a discount store. Tried a bottle and it lasts longer than the pricier stuff. And I love the colors. I ended up buying 5 more to replace the polish that was going bad. 

Jill just goes cheap.

Poor little hostages.  They're trying so hard to cooperate.  Jill's mastery of them is so complete that even though they would physically be able to walk away, their mental state compels them to please her even if it is to their own detriment.  Raised from birth to obey parents who claim they speak Will of God, they are terrified to disappoint, convinced their very souls could be in peril if they do.  

Jill is a tyrant, her whims and wishes override anyone unequipped to stand up to her.  While Nurie was raised to please Jill, Nathan was raised to please his parents.  But Nathans parents are weak, while Jill is strong.  Jill is in charge, and they know it.  Even if N&N like each other, and would happily date in other circumstances, Jill has decreed that they love each other and this marriage will take place.  If left unchecked, there will always be three in that marriage, N&N and JILL.

It remains to be seen if Nathan can grow the strength to resist Jill.  Nurie never will.

Anyone remember “Kids by the Dozen,” another Quiverfull family that had a show for a little while? One of their daughters is revealing what it was really like to love in that family.

Cynthia Jeub has been writing and complaining about her life and father for quite some time.  It's nice to see someone who has broken free from such a crazy family.  I feel sorry for her as she'll probably have scars for the rest of her life.

Agreed! I've read some of Cynthia's stuff before. She's a good writer and does a wonderful job of shining a light on how horrific her upbringing was and how dangerous and damaging this way of life is. She's had a rough time of it even after leaving, but I admire her for continuing to speak out.

As weird as this family is, I'm actually happy for Nathan and Nurie . They look happy together in the pics and seem 'equally yoked' in the looks department, as unfortunately neither is facially blessed, however they somehow match looks wise. Thier smiles and body language seem to show that they are happy to be together.  Strange about Nathan bc most of his siblings are attractive especially Anna and pris, but he looks totally different? 

IMO Nurie, Kaylee, and Renee are definitely not facially blessed , makeup and horrendous styling aside, so unfortunately finding a spouse might be more of a challenge, especially bc the rod family seems to have quite low social status in the fund community. I think this marriage will be good for Nurie. Also, on a shallow note, skinny as she is, I'm somewhat mesmerized by ahem how busty she is. I don't think I've seen such a thin girl so well l endowed. In conclusion,  this basically shallow post is just expressing some of the thoughts I've had rattling around in my head regarding these folks.

I've always thought that Nurie was quite pretty. If she lightened up on the makeup, got a better hairstyle and filled out a little bit she could be a very attractive girl. It's hard for me to really evaluate how happy she looks with  Nathan as her smile is habitually so forced that I'm not sure her face even knows how to look genuinely joyful. As for Nathan, I think the main problem is his vampire teeth  As much as I generally find quirky teeth much more endearing than perfectly straight ones, his are just downright unfortunate. The rest of his features are fairly average, really. Any further deficiency in looks could probably be put down to a marked social awkwardness (maybe verging on clinical). He just looks awkward all the way around. There's no reason that their combined genes couldn't make perfectly attractive children, though - especially if they somehow managed to be raised happy and relaxed. But I fear that is probably asking the impossible...

Well when I lived in Oshkosh, where he's going to school.  They had two porn shops.  One big one right off the highway into the city and one in the city not too far from the Fox Valley Tech campus.  If they are still there, he might certainly be tempted.  Also, these are the types of places with "booths" and more goes on in them than people innocently watching videos.

Great article. Cynthia has been writing about her family for awhile now. There's a thread on Free Jinger where she used to answer questions. I'm not sure if she still does. But it was very informative about her parents, growing up Quiverful, taking care of her siblings, and life after she left. I'm glad she got out and is doing well.

I was watching Law and Order: SVU and they referred to it as a jack shack.   I laughed about that for the rest of the day.

Chris Jeub is teaching English at a Monument, CO charter school.  This link is reaction from some parents when he was hired in Fall 2018.  His bio on the school's website says he and his wife have five children currently enrolled at the school.  I would be so pissed if my child's school hired him.

Both Anna and Pris got braces shortly after they married, so I'm guessing Ma and Pa Keller have no money to fix wonky teeth. Poor Nathan.

Yes. Suze's the one who defected and got pregnant out of wedlock. Her daughter is practically an identical twin to Mack. It seems like she's been engaged three or four times, so I have no idea which guy she finally married.

I think the Rods were gone by this past weekend. I think this was just for close family (Rebekah and Prissy were there). I'm not sure if Suze eloped or what is up with her original wedding.

And of course he's managed to convince a lot of people that Cynthia's the one who's lying -- because he's intimidated and brainwashed others of his children to believe Dad rather than their lying eyes. And convinced the kids that Cynthia's admitting she's had depression means she can't be trusted and is vicious. 

The man is evil arrogant scum. I'd move my kids to another school immediately. 

I think he's only teaching there because CPS made them stop homeschooling all those kids and enroll them in school. And this lunatic has basicallly stalked his kids to their school because he can't have them under his thumb at home 24 hours a day, most likely. He is smart and somewhat educated after a fashion and he's probably pretty good at being two-faced. So he's hornswoggled some people at the school into believing he's a decent guy.
