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..

Once again Jill is writing as though Kaylee died. She is 5 miles from her severely previous mahmo. Jill can ride a horse there. 

I think she meant she missed her performance with the group.

A honeymoon in South Dakota sounds awful this time of year. Also.. The girls playing wedding, and using brooms for grooms is so sad. Don't they have dolls or something else to use? 

When I was a kid, we used to take turns being the bride.  When one of us wasn't the bride, she was the groom.  Of course, this would be unacceptable to Mama Jill as it might turn one of the girls gay.  Maybe it is because we were heathen Catholics, but, of the 4 of us sisters who played bride together as kids, none of us got turned gay by it.  Not that my parents would've thought that it would, nor cared.

Jill says it to prove she doesn't totally hate (and Kaylee). She mourned and wept over Nurie after her wedding a lot more. 

Renee is probably very sad, because it looked like she and Kaylee were pretty close and now she has to deal with the daily crazy by herself.

I am currently talking to a friend of mine about taking a trip to SD, MT, and WY (my first time in any of those 3 states) next year, and I already told her Deadwood is non-negotiable. We must stop. :)

I know a fair number of people around here who have traveled to SD and had a lot of fun on vacations there in the summer but offhand I don't know anyone who went there for a honeymoon. Especially in November. I am actually judging the time of year more than the destination. 

Be sure to go to the Mount Moriah cemetery in Deadwood. We climbed up to Seth Bullock's tomb. It is lovely.

This church is about 30 minutes from my house. Opportunity missed to go watch the ironing board and cowbell show live. 😂

Guess Jill didn’t grift enough $ to go to FL

The sleeper they have the baby in immediately caught my eye because those were all recalled back in 2019: https://www.cpsc.gov/Recalls/2019/Fisher-Price-Recalls-Rock-n-Play-Sleepers-Due-to-Reports-of-Deaths

Of course, these are the same people who got a ticket for not properly restraining poor Nemo, so can’t say I’m surprised 🤦‍♀️.  They love to talk about their precious gifts from God, but then don’t take the most basic steps to protect them. It’s mind-boggling.

That's why Jill didn't rush to Florida to see the newest baby.   She had a grift tour scheduled.   Nothing gets in the way of Jill getting handouts.   

I highly doubt anyone in the audience even noticed someone was missing.   It's not like their "talen" fell off a cliff with no Kaylee.  Caterwauling is caterwauling.

Jill was only maybe 30 minutes north of me.  Dangit, I totally would have visited this church to witness the Rod wackiness in person, even if I was going to be the only brown face in the bunch!

I've always hoped for some bizarre Puritan-esque name from one of these people, but I never would have banked on Nurie being the one to finally supply it for me. 

It's a bit better than Heistheway and Thou Shalt Not Commit Adultery Pulsifer.

There are lots of "n" names but these two seem to have such narrow fields of thought. First blessing shares a name with Nathan's nephew and this one gets some clunky shoe-horned moniker. Double fundie homeschool win. 🙄

So no Florida trip for Jill? I'm shocked that she has to wait until Christmas, wherever they are. 

I hope that someone is helping Nurie.  I can’t imagine having to run a household plus take care of 2 babies immediately after giving birth.

No shit Sherlock. 
 

But good news she barely got sick because of PLEXUS. Buy PLEXUS from Jill… 

Is there any followup on this? What did people get sick from? The food? The flu? Covid? Something else? Was Ma one of the people who got sick? Could a lingering illness have  made her dizzy?

Par for the course for them. It's the pregnancy that's important, not the infant.

My first thought was probable food poisoning considering their disdain for health and safety practices.

It is still in her comments on Facebook, from someone named Natalie Anne.

Ok so I have questions.  Define “a lot of us”.  Does “us” entail the Rod/Noyes clan or other randos at the wedding?  Are the newlyweds excluded from this “we”?  Chances are, if there were folks who got sick after the wedding most likely they hugged all up on Jonathan and Kaylee.  Which means one (or both) probably got sick, too. IF people actually got sick. My guess is, with the weather changing and flu season upon us, this was actually Jilly’s very thinly-veiled effort at marketing her snake oil.

It was. Bragging that she pretty much avoided getting sick because her immune system is SO STRONG. All the while shilling ancillary crap. I wonder how much she spends on HERSELF every month?

Well, we all know she doesn’t spend anything on her poor children every month so…

I truly hope Kaylee is happy and having a great time on their honeymoon! It must feel so strange and almost scary to be alone with this man she doesn’t know well who is now her husband and has full rights to her mind, body, and spirit!  I’m sure living in their own house with only two people will be a very weird thing for her to get used to.

Jill forced Nurie to go sightseeing with her and DBD when Nemo was just days old. Nurie had torn significantly and was in a matching wheelchair to Jill, who had her SEVERE knee injury. 

Don't forget that this blessed event occurred in the midst of a global pandemic. The Rodriguii idiots took a newborn baby out sightseeing during a global pandemic, and he almost certainly didn't get any covid antibodies from his sheep of a mother.

And they’ll no doubt do the same next month when Nurthan is stupid enough to visit Ohio for Christmas. I wonder if anyone at the birthing center warned them about RSV?

I think the Rod Pod will be traveling to Florida. The senior Kellers are hosting Thanksgiving this year, so the Nathan Kellers need company. I doubt they'll be traveling with two small kids for a few months, at least. 

Not to mention, the Rods already do Florida after the new year, so they're already in place for Griftathon 2023.

Of COURSE the grift tour just HAPPENS to go through the South in Winter.   You really don't expect Jill to put up with an Ohio winter do you?    Especially after that terrible tornado storm over the summer that meant she had to have sweet neighbors clear her driveway so they could drive the whole family to the laundromat for a sing a long.

It's hard to remember this in the midst of all JillR's SM blitzes of their family doings, but I believe those church appearances are their official "mission" and occupation. As I understand it, David's preaching is the main event, with the Rods' musical offerings as a support act, so to speak. I'm sure they aren't exactly overwhelmed with those bookings, and as much as Jill likes to promote her Plexus and her family doings and her "women's retreat" stuff? They can't afford to decline or bug out on a church appearance like that. The Rods are signed up with a missionary clearinghouse; I don't know how it works but I suppose that may interact with their church bookings in some way.

The kids shouldn’t have an occupation. Their education should be their full time job.

Speaking of “modesty,” I came across this older picture of Jill on Reddit last night. Note the baby cage behind her. She looks like an 80s porn star.

She looks like a bargain basement 80s hair band groupie.

This scared the shit out of me.

Gee, it's hard to imagine why eligible women aren't snapping them up. 

Sickly and malnourished? No education or ability to make a living? No visible spine or will of their own? A grifting, clout-chasing MIL who'll expect your family to provide meals and entertainment for the entire fam? 

Wow, get in line, ladies.

What a day to have functioning retinas!

I find it hard to believe that Kaylee took a kissing picture and sent it to her Mom. Actually I dont, because I can believe Jill told her to do that. I do hope Kaylee and Johnathan have a nice honeymoon and enjoy their time in SD. I hear its very pretty there, and if you like snow activities this would be the time for it.
