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.

Wonder if she will let a few of her kids sleep in the attic

Her pictures give me a headache. What the fuck are we looking at? The door? The dirt behind d the door? What Jill? Please explain. All of her pics are way too up close, and even those aren't good shots. 

And that pic of her vegetables from her garden... did they just put the damn garden/cemetery in?

Did not know that, thanks for telling me. I may have come off harsh in my comments. I'm sleep deprived and Jill just really irritates me. Lol. So I'm gonna go and chill out. Head outside and have a smoke. Do ya hear that Jill? I'm going to smoke and if I didn't have to work tonight I would have a big fat alcoholic drink to go along with that smoke! Lol. I work midnights Jill (and gasp), mainly with men! Eeks! The horror! Lol. Bahahaha

LOL, her eyebrows make her look like she has a terrified grimace!

Her sister-in-law Rebekah really needs to pull Nurie aside and explain how eyebrows are supposed to look. Maybe Rebekah can mention conditioner for the fried-looking hair, too. 

I feel sorry for Nurie and the other Rod kids. I don't think they ever had a chance.

Even if Rebekah gave Nurie wonderful advice and Nurie was open to change, it would all be undone during one of the too frequent interactions Nurie has with BEST MOMMA.

Nurie still doesn't look as far along as she is...28 weeks? wow, she's carrying quite small I would say. I hope they child is receiving enough nutrition and that Nurie is seeing a real, qualified OBGYN and not some unqualified, glorified doula.

I agree.  I think she looks very small to be 7 months pregnant.  BTW, those eyebrows are just tragic.

Isn't she closer to 6 months than to 7 months along?  She may carry small like Alyssa Webster does.

Someone on a Facebook group I follow (Fundie Wonderland) mentioned that the picture looked photoshopped, and, indeed, her face does look rather distorted, and especially her neck appears to have been stretched out, because there is something looking like a misplaced collar bone way too low than it would have been. There's some speculation that Jill purposefully stretched the picture to make Nurie look slimmer. I wouldn't put it past her...

The Rods are back on the road, for a month this time. Jill says it's scheduled appearances (not exactly her wording, mine is better 😷) and a "vacation." 

Didn't she say that they were going to TX to visit the Wallers at some point? I guess we'll see if they go somewhere other than FL.

Vacation?? from what? When do the kids do school work? Do they ever have a repeating, predictable daily schedule? Do they ever cook at home, teach the kids how to cook or bake or sew or garden or draw, paint, creative writing, computer programming, use tools, or anything? On the one hand it seems like they have nothing but time; on they other they just seem to while away the hours doing not much.

Another thing about JillRod - I live in Pacific Time, so in Ohio it's 3 hours later than where I am. Several times recently I've noticed that Jill has just posted on Instagram in what would be around 2 a.m. Ohio time. I wonder if she stays up all night (perhaps when no kids are awake to bug her) and then sleeps all morning, while the older girls take care of the kids. That wouldn't work, though, when they're traveling on their stink bus. Maybe Jill and Shrek get a motel room.

He has stayed home for their extended trips. AFAIK, he still has his FT job. 

eta I tried but failed to find an old 80's song. The lyrics applicable to the Rods are 

On vacation from vacation 

On vacation from my last vacation 😁

Don’t know too many small business owners that can leave their business for a month.  They’re getting a lot in the child tax credits so they’ll live off that?

I’m sure they are expecting “love offerings” for their “scheduled meetings.” And making sure that they get plenty of free meals as well. I wonder if Tim is excited about being left alone at home.

I'm sure they spend their time reading and memorizing the Bible and helping Daddy in the print shop.

Jill's going to leave her new addition undecorated? Ouch. 

Jill must be hunting for potential courtships for Kaylee, Renee, and possibly Tim. The Wallers are celebrities in Jill's world, so they may have connections. If that fails, there are all those little churches along the way. 

Poor Nathan. The two clowns and their unfed children are bound to stay until Jill empties his bank account and decides it's time to move on.

So they'll be traveling around almost the entire month of August, and then they'll probably will be gone most of October in Florida for Nurie's baby.  David  won't be working much at his printing press!

Hey now, David is the hardest working man Jill knows! Of course, according to Tim, a Christian doesn't have to work very hard to be considered a hard worker, so I am not sure what Jill is bragging about.

Alyssa must be reading here or other forums. She has an IG story and at the end she is cooking dinner. Rice, lots of broccoli, and meat. I was expecting her to show three little glasses of milk. BTW, do any of you cook broccoli in a frying pan? I have never seen that before.

She most definitely is. There's been lots of talk, particularly on Reddit, that her kids never eat filling, balanced meals.

That's funny that Alyssa slacks in the kitchen and Erin doesn't. Alyssa and Michaela were the only kids that helped in the kitchen and Erin didn't know how to cook when she got married.

I guess dressing those girls, putting on make-up, taking pictures and making videos takes up too much time. 😁

I make broccoli in the frying pan with garlic and anchovies sometimes but I don’t think Alyssa would be making it that way.  Mostly I roast broccoli in the oven, way easier.

I have a one-pot sun-dried tomatoes with frozen broccoli and pasta recipe that is cooked in a skillet. But for broccoli on its own, I roast it in the oven. 

Why am I not surprised that Alyssa keeps up with her snark coverage. Hey, Alyssa, how long until you and Lurch just have to try for that son? And if you get one, a brother for him? Not like your parents, my ass.

Maybe they’ll only go to the godliest towns this trip, for a vacation from the terrible persecution they suffer.

Has she mentioned where they're going on this month-long trip?  I mean, the Bacteria Bus could pull up to any one of our hometowns!  This is serious!

Also, regarding the Amish addition to the barndo - how would that work, would Jill approach someone and ask for the addition?  Would she glom on to one family and "bump into them" all over town and whine that she doesn't have enough room for her ginormous family, hint hint?  I just can't see either Jill or David walking into an Amish-owned business and sitting down with design plans and their checkbook - I have to believe they are grifting it somehow.  Maybe that's why they took off on a month-long vacation...more time to work on their angle to get the addition for free.

I can't see why the Amish builders, who are not part of Jill's church or even her world and who know the value of their craft, would build a two-story addition to her house for free. Jill has nothing to barter (pots of beige slop? a comely daughter or two? a son who would love to work in the fields all day?). The building materials are expensive, and I suspect the builders intend to get paid a fair wage. If Jill and David stiff the builders, everyone knows where they live. 

If the building is going on, the men are probably glad to see Jill away for a month, so they can work in peace.
