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.

Ro grigous or something

If Plexus is such a cure-all, it boggles my mind why these people have to constantly go on fasts and re-sets.  What are they re-setting from, if they are faithfully chugging Plexus?  It makes no sense.

Jill's newsletter was an interesting read. Especially the part where she spelled her own last name wrong.

In other news that got missed in the last site glitch. Jill posted pics of Nurie having a tea party with friends. One of the friends was her SIL Hannah Reber Keller and her baby Genesis. The other friend Jill tagged is friends with Jill  on fb. She reposts some of Jill's bible verses. For any who might celebrate Nurie having her own friends, here is a recent post from Nurie's tea party friend.

"Child Training For Church

“When our children were very small we had church at home every day. We put a preaching cassette on and set the little ones in our lap and trained them to sit still for the duration of the message. It was a hard time for all of us “at home” but within a few weeks it was soooo worth the trouble at home.

Alyson got to where she could sit the little ones on the couch and tell them to sit still while the preacher preached. She could be up cooking, cleaning etc. while they sat quietly listening to the preaching.

Do your training at home. Don’t punish the rest of the church trying to train at church.

If you train at home there’s nothing left to do at church but the occasional discipline for when your child tests your resolve in public. And if your child tests you in public please remember that this is your cue to train more in private.

If we will train our children in private, there should never be a need for discipline in public.

Public discipline can easily be a display of a parent’s pride about how tough they are. Never disciple because of your pride being hurt. Your child will know this as well as others and this is a breeding ground for resentment in your child’s heart. Always remember the embarrassment we feel from a disobeying child publicly should never be aimed toward the child, but rather look at your self and say this is my lack of training more than my child’s rebellion.”-Pastor Timothy Giddens"

#TrainUpAChild

I despise these people!

I 💬 think Jill was writing it the way Janessa tried to pronounce it. At nearly 6, she should be able to say her name.

So Jill is pushing the Sayings of Janessa hard. There is no mention of anyone other Rodlet except Olivia who was sick the same time as Janessa.

Her favoritism towards Janessa is pathetic.  BME is spoiling Janessa rotten, while the other waifs barely get a second glance from their POS mother.

I still believe that Janessa has more severe delays than Jill lets on.  She may always need additional help.  Yes, Jill may want her to always be her baby, but I think there is more to the story that Jill denies.

Jill talks to her and treats her like she’s a baby; therefore, Janessa talks and acts like a baby.  I’m unsure of whether it’s deliberate or not, but I am sure that Janessa knows that she’s Jill’s favorite.

Honestly, the educational standards for all of these kids are so low, I don't know if you would ever know that there was something wrong as long as they can talk, walk, do chores and handle self-care.

I love the last part of Kaylee's post about the KJV 1611 Bible being the TRUE and ONLY inspired Word of God. Gotta make sure to point that out and defend taking a Ramsey course before the other members of your branch of Christianity call you out for listening to a near-heathen who uses a more modern translation of the Bible.

Before Janessa was born Jill made a post stating that the baby had had a stroke in utero, and was missing part of her corpus callosum.  There are many children who survive missing part of the corpus callosum with differing degrees of problems.  The only baby I cared for with this condition was born blind, deaf, and unable to eat or regulate her body temperature. She died in two weeks.  That was a worse case scenario.  Janessa can talk and walk and eat, but that does not mean she does not have some delays.  I have no idea how the stoke figures in.  But Jill has claimed that prayer cured Janessa.  I still feel that there is a good possibility that there are some issues that are not being addressed.  Jill has not mentioned any on-going appointments with the "pediatrician doctor".  It is useless to point out that if Janessa was in public school she would get extra help in areas she might need.

Does Jill treat her like a baby?  Yes.  But there could be reasons beside just spoiling her. 

Just my opinion.

A post by Kaylee.

And Kaylee is a much worse writer than BME, proving that each generation of this family is learning less and less. Between the commas everywhere, random capitalization and incorrect use of too/to, it was painful to read. Plus it was just poorly written. But thankfully she explained about KJV Bible and Dave Ramsey, I was ready to throw stones at the Hills for hearing about the wrong scripture.

(Okay nothing beyond "Look at me! Tell me how great I am!")

The magazine launch and beg for folks to subscribe also did not get a mention in Jill's Fall/Early winter blog update.

It was explained to me that they don’t think James had much to do with the Bible other than authorizing the translation. Apparently they believe it’s the most accurate translation and divinely inspired so it’s the only version allowed.

I think when the Duggars were in England JB pointed out a castle and told the kids that that is where King James wrote the KJV.   I think a lot of people believe he wrote it all by himself.  It kind of goes with him telling his kids that people used to ride dinosaurs. These kids have such an odd "education".

I usually go to church with my mom and let's just say I'm in my 50s and she's in her 80s.  I'm saying that because yesterday she got started laughing while watching two people in front of us (hard to describe, you had to see it).  I finally leaned over and told her she needed to the other end of the pew because she was a bad influence (laughing while I said it).  But we both sat there trying not to laugh out loud.  I can just imagine what Alyson, Nurie, or Jill would have thought of our behavior yesterday.

And where a comma was actually required, there was none. She has no fucking clue how to use punctuation.

I think Jill's favorite is Jill! I also think Jill does Janessa no favors with her babying, cloying way of speaking to her. But that is the way Jill talks to all of her younger children. It's hard to believe she's an experienced mother of 13!

They usually stay at hotels that include breakfast. I bet she ate some of that too.

Has anyone told her about the studies showing Plexus has likely caused premature births??? And that even the company states that breastfeeding mothers shouldn’t use it???

I know we laughed about Jonathan's lack of skill when being all manly and using the axe to chop wood, but the sadder part is in the comments.

Compare the writing of what is obviously Jonathan replying to someone to the stuff Kaylee posts. Full sentences, pretty clear meaning, no random commas or capitals, etc.

Jon's writing makes sense, but a period or three would help. That's one long run-on.

Is that Dave in the pool in the bottom picture? Have we ever seen him in a swimming pool in his modest swimwear? What is Olivia wearing? It looks like a regular dress. Jill, of course, appears to be in something from her extensive athleisure collection. 

Did the hotel have any idea these people were determined to wreck the pool filtration system?
