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

[ALittleShelfish]

My family never really celebrated birthdays, we kids didn't mind, but my no-holiday celebrating parents made more effort than this.  

I still don't celebrate my birthday (I legitimately do not care about them for myself), but I make more of an effort for my dog's birthday/gotcha day than Jillpm puts toward her children.  

[BradandJanet]

Most of us treat our possessions better than Jillvid treat their children. Actually, Jill's tchotchkes get more attention than her little blessings, who are the ones who sing or hold jobs to bring money into the family since David is allergic to work.

On the topic of hats…..

She always has cold sores on her lips.  I’m surprised that Plexus doesn’t prevent/cure them!

[oliviabenson]

What Is Jill kissing/licking to get those cold sores????

And the makeup is making her look unwell/old.

 

[merylinkid]

Someone should tell Jill that cold sores are herpes.   I wanna see her head explode.

Where did the crutches come from? Are they Renee's and the boys are having "fun" with them?

Yes, they’re Renee’s.

They have pink on them so obviously they could only be girl crutches.

I'm no theological student, but AFAIK there's a longstanding train of argument that what Jesus created was non-alcoholic. I think it's strong among certain groups of protestants, perhaps mainly evangelicals, who eschew drinking alcohol. 

Weird. I’ve always heard that the alcohol was important, since you couldn’t rely on water being clean. Alcohol kills a multitude of germs.

Loves history of any kind? Sure, as long as it fits your beliefs.

It’s rather a stretch to say that a house featured in a fictional movie is “history.”

I wish she had worn her super-tight mermaid skirt for this photo shoot. I would have loved to see her trying to get to her knees in that mummy wrap and then struggling to get back on her feet again. 

If ever there was a face begging to be smeared with a surprise cream pie, this is the one. A literal face plant in that field of weeds would have been kind of awesome too. 

[GeeGolly]

What are the guts looking at? Did Tim announce he will be using his penis for sex soon?

David take a pitcher of me sniffing weeds!

She doesn’t name it. She just says, “little pink drink”. Perhaps that’s how she gets away with it?

[merylinkid]

Doesn't she always have to do a "reset?"

Yup. That just goes to show that the stupid pink drink is nothing more than a placebo. 

[the-grey-lady]

"Why not do something good for your body..."

Guess that rules out Plexus.

[sixlets]

She's smart enough to not name Plexus in an IG post.  Corporate might have given them some edumacation on what happens when you break FTC laws.  Now, if she could only be smart enough to feed and properly clothe her children 😒.

During the video posted today at the Mother's Day ice cream at the park outing, BME turns to NotNurie and talks about how sad that Nurie and Nathan had to leave to go home one day before Mother's Day and did not say one word to NotNurie about how exciting it is that this is her 1st Mother's Day being pregnant and how she can't wait for her baby boy to be born.  Not one word to acknowledge that poor girl.

I think it's clear that Jill favors Nurie and Timbits. She babies Janessa. 

Sucks to be the other 10. Especially Kaylee and Gabriel. 

[ginger90]

It’s all about Jill, always.

[BradandJanet]

Anyone who has grown up being a NotNurie knows how incredibly harmful Jill's behavior is. I suspect Kaylee thinks having a baby will endear her to her mother, but that won't happen. Jill has no self-awareness or capacity for empathy and never will.

Okay worlds colliding here, but I'm allllllllmost positive that this is the same text posted by 90Day Fiance Molly for HER plexus post of the day.  

I need a palate cleanser for my social feeds today.  lol

Heck, it doesn't even seem like Jill can gush over more than one grandchild. Newmie is almost never mentioned. As the NotNemo kid of a NotNurie this kid is barely going to be on Mimi's radar (and for that I give a hearty thanks to Lord Daniel, soapy be his name).

NotNurie may find her inner strength and break free if that happens. People who have always  put up with neglect from their parents often tend to get upset when their own children are neglected by their grandparents.

I hope they all do. 

[merylinkid]

Hopefully Jonathan gets a clue by four too, when he sees that his son is treated like crap.   Because if he won't bail, Kaylee will be stuck.  

Back to dieting -- Jilly says you regain weight if you stop taking Oziempic.   THEN she says she will be taking plexus for life.   Allllllmoooossst there Jilly.   

[ozziemom]

The Mothers Day post shows Jonathan sliding on the kid slide. While he isn’t a large man, it looked like the slide was a bit wonky and wobbly, those slides are definitely not built for adults. So apparently he is right there with the rest of the Rods with no concept of adult behavior.

[BradandJanet]

While Nemo is obviously Jill's favorite, Jill may not treat Baby Hill any better or worse than Newman, who just exists. In Jill's fractured psyche, everyone is either a winner or a loser. 

Jill's favorites seem to be Tim (first-born son), Nurie (first-born daughter) Janessa (last-born kid, we hope), and Nehemiah (first-born grandson). A first granddaughter might make the cut.  

I'm curious to see which children Jill insists on keeping close by and who is allowed to leave the compound. I feel that Kaylee was "encouraged" to stay close for a reason, not because Jill is fond of her but because Jill sees her as an obedient worker who is desperate to be loved and recognized. Narcissists are good at knowing who they can control.

This fits. There's no way Slide Boy is going to defend his wife or his children.

I hope playing with the pink crutches turns whatever Rodboy that is gay.  I'm mean like that when people think adaptive devices are toys.

At least Jilly admits that she will have to take that pink junk forever to maintain whatever weight loss she claims.  From pictures of her she can't filter, it doesn't look like much weight is lost there.  And her lazy hubby is obviously not taking the stuff given the way he looks.  

[beckie]

Does she take Ozempic? Or is she getting what knowledge she has about it from watching the map with David?

I think she was just using as an example.  I think in the recent past there was a brief shortage of Ozempic for diabetics due to non-diabetics using it for weight loss, and that infuriated me.

My friend couldn't get it to treat her diabetes. She would have to pay out of pocket and just doesn't have the money.

Dave and some of the kids were with her.

They were at a tent revival last week, returning home on Saturday. It was in Ohio, but I can't remember the town offhand. I want to say it was in the southern part of the state.

I read elsewhere that this wasn’t the super strong, commercial type of playground put in parks and schools.  Those are very sturdy.

This was just a common backyard slide put in by a small shop owner for young CHILDREN.  These grown men are actually causing the slide to bend.  They should not be on it.

I read the same post. The person posited that the ice cream store bought the equipment and put it on their property. Definitely not meant for adult men to be playing on

Whew. I’m in NEO. Granted I do live about 1/2-2 hours north of the barndo, I don’t want to risk running into them in the wild.

WTF?  Isn't David supposed to be an expert at wiring?  He couldn't put an extra outlet or two in the kitchen, so instead they use that mess.  

They supposedly remodeled the kitchen just a couple years ago, you'd think they would've installed more outlets then to accommodate their appliances.

When her concoction fell off the counter I laughed. Also interesting that she chose to use regular milk instead of water.
 

Those wires are a nightmare, or an octopus, as my father would have called it.

I have to correct my previous post. They were in West Clifford, PA! I should know this, since this is an annual stop for them. 

[ginger90]

Jill covered up the address for some reason. 🤷🏼‍♀️ They had already been there, she left it there in a post from a couple of hours ago, but not in her stories. Such an odd woman.

[oliviabenson]

Janessa is Jill’s favorite kid… And Nurie. 

[oliviabenson]

Jill was in hog heaven! A free dinner and 3 chances of her being on stage/center of attention!

And her beloved hunk preached! 

[Salacious Kitty]

I didn't read the date correctly. They were in PA BEFORE the tent revival. I think that was in Ohio. smh I'll get it straightened out.
