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.

Thanks @Notabug.  Jill really thinks she runs the show.  Does she even know that she can post a picture without comments??  She really thinks she is the center of the universe and the leader of morals.

Look up the term “Holier than thou” and Jill’s picture is right beside of it.

Yes she does. I love that Heidi's mom and grandma are pushing back. That's so awesome.

Not only are they Heidi's mom and grandma but both are also in Jill's plexus downline.

The word of the day, POOF!

Hallie’s post and the one she replied to are gone. Grandma’s post is also gone. 

 

Wonder if Jill also unfriended and blocked them as is her custom.  If so, the gloves are off, the lines are set and the battle has begun.

Jill has a new reel which includes an explanation of this picture.

I hope Ellen had a mini-bar bottle of Jack in her purse to ‘elevate’ the cocktails. Probably not, but a girl can dream.

This is going to be an epic battle and I AM HERE FOR IT!!!  So happy that Timmy has married into a sane, non-performative, loving family!  I just hope that they can help undo the lifetime of shit Jillzilla put into Timothy’s head.

So Jill deleted the polite posts with opinions that differ from hers. How Christian of her.

Some folks have sex before marriage and some don't. Deleting the opposing opinion doesn't make it go away, it just shows how Jill is unaccepting of others.

Didn't that non-Christian, non-White dude, who Jill prays to, promote embracing and supporting all?

Hypocrisy:

 

Remember this from August 12th?

 

“The social media arena can be a great place to spread truth and God's principles, but also a brutal place. & When you open yourself up to the "world's" criticism, it can be hard. We know where we stand, and why we stand there. Nevertheless, we sometimes yearn for that privacy we possessed before the days of smart phones, internet, etc. 😬

 

Go back Jill, go way back.

 

August 11th:

“Cyber Bullying and bearing false witness against our neighbor is at an all time HIGH in our world today.  😥  Let's make sure we speak TRUTH of others!  Let's be energy givers, not takers.  Let's love others as ourselves.  Let's lift up others, not tear them down.  😉

Matthew 22:39b......"Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself."

Exodus 20:16  "Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour."

Ephesians 4:32 "And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you."

A carefully posed photo taken from an angle and probably filtered to take off years and pounds, who would trust Jill to be truthful about anything?

I have to say, Jill's dress for the wedding is tasteful and attractive. Ellen and Heidi must have picked it out for her and nixed any ideas to add a performative white t-shirt under it.

Jill made a point of "needing permission" from Tim and Heidi before posting. Then she went from nothing to too much in about 2 days.

I bet they won't give Jill permission again. I hope they don't.

I guess sex becomes an obsession when you marry the first opposite gendered non familiar person who holds your hand and the first time you kiss is very public.    These people are so backwards I am honestly surprised they don’t have a bedding ceremony.

Don't give them ideas. 🤣

Jill went on a posting spree/fudge the Tim/Heidi boundaries around 3-4 am. Chick doesn’t sleep much does she. She doesn’t care about what other people want to be posted. Jill the bulldozer only cares about her wants.

Jill commenting about her son's "purity" squicks me right out.  She assumes a lot, speaking on behalf of her kid who she is unable to keep tabs on, as he seems to have happily moved away from her smothering.

Again, typical Jill - every time anyone in her vicinity is holding a beverage, she must let us know that the dreaded devil's juice was not part of the recipe.  Does she think that her holy radiance envelopes everyone around her so they are compelled to act as she would?  Man, that is one ginormous ego that woman carries around.

I hope Ellen's got some vodka in her drink.  She earned it.  Being the mother of the bride is exhausting, and having to manage Jill in the process?  I can't imagine.  I would take to my bed for a week once the bride and groom were safely off on their honeymoon.

Please don’t be gleeful about this in-law mess.  The first year of marriage is hard enough without the naïveté of this bride and groom and the infighting that the Rods and Coveretts are publicly doing right now. Yes, Jill is the cause.  Yes, the Coveretts are sticking up for the couple.  However, regardless of who is at fault- Tim and Heidi ( especially Heidi) are going to pay the price for quite some time to come

I'm not gleeful. I'm pissed at Jill. She never apologizes for her behavior, she instead doubles down. She did it again in this instance. 

Tim and Heidi just need to avoid her as much as possible, since she's the root cause of these issues.

The point is that shit is rolling downhill right at Timothy and Heidi. They don't deserve that. As far as avoiding her, it's easier said than done to avoid your own mother. I speak from experience.

Believe me, I'm all for Ellen calling Jill out.  But she's doing it passively-aggressively and via social media.  Isn't that just the same ick, different name?  

Anyone associated with this circus is just gross.  I don't have hope for any of them.

They moved far away from her.   For her to make them pay would require effort on her part.   Not that she won't try, but it will not be as easy as making Kaylee and Jonathan pay if something similar happened.   They aren't going to be seeing Mahmo 24/7 due to the distance.

I finally figured out what shut Jill down for a bit and might do it again.   It wasn't the pastor having a talk with Dave because since when did either of them listen to a pastor?   They just move churches.   I think the clearinghouse got wind of her grifting and non-dogly trips to places to Las Vegas and Punta Cana for Plexus, while also always seeming to be on "traveling for dog" while doing very little actual "missionary" work while showing off a lot of tourist pictures on her social media.   I bet they threatened to cut funding and find another printer.   Money is the only thing Jill would change her behavior for.  

If the clearinghouse sees a public spat, they might have another little talk with Jill.   Because Jill is on thin ice with them and they do not want to deal with her behavior any more.

I wonder if Jill blocked all the people who liked those deleted posts? The last time I checked last night, a couple of them had over 400 likes. 😀

She’s never received that many reactions on her own posts. Makes me chuckle.

Now they only have to put up with the Rods descending for free food and lodging every 3 months instead of every day.   Eastern PA is now on the grift tour.

Plus they are savvy enough to have excuses prepared to avoid long stays by Jill.  I kept off season clothes in a couple of suitcases in the coat closet.  I'd greet one of my cousins suitcase in hand at the door with oh I'm sorry we weren't expecting company and we're just leaving.  The kids knew we'd leave for an hour or two and then come home to avoid the leeches staying.  We'd meet them at McDonalds or Burger King, buy them dinner, and then wave bye as we headed off to wait and make sure they left.

Moving away from Ohio is not going to solve the problems I was referring to.  Sure, Jill and the crew won’t be at their house every day.  But Jill WILL now be bad mouthing the Coveretts and Heidi to Tim every chance she gets- on the phone, texts,   Social media.  She will now be passive aggressive to Heidi when she sees her.   She will whine if they don’t come there for every  holiday, every month or so, every ‘once a year’ vacation.  She ( and David and Nurie and Kaylee etc) will claim Tim is disrespectful to his parents therefore disobeying G*d.   She will put so much emotional stress on these two.  The Coveretts will make comments about Jill to Heidi, etc.   Those of you with less than perfect relationships  with your in-laws know exactly what I mean. 

The above is what I meant about Tim and Heidi paying the price for this public spat,

But will Jill risk alienating 2 people in her down line? She really wants to "win" those plexus trips and Ellen seems to be a solid promoter and consistent seller and has signed up others to help Jill earn trips.

What does mama want more - to take trips and brag or to be continuously hateful to her son and DIL and lose part of her down line.

A real dilemma. Place your bets now.

Jill only cares that she shows everyone how much "better" she and her family are compared to the rest of us.

 

The fact she actually believes that wholeheartedly is grounds for a psych evaluation.

Jill must be really screeching and wailing to cause David to pause watching the map long enough to write all of that screed. Unless she just wrote it herself.

There are other religious communities who don't condone physical intimacy before marriage.  It's taken as a given with the communities. But the obsession with providing lectures about it was embarrassing.

Considering that Tim was sleeping over the Heidi's house with matching jammies and taking pictures with "hugs" she should have just left off the commentary, as it might have been a bit embarrassing for the couple if they didn't follow the script. I'm sure they didn't cross all boundaries, but if they made some missteps, they didn't need Jill putting that type of spotlight on them.

I'm going to make some popcorn, because it is on!!

These people are insufferable. They just don't know when to quit. I'm sure Jill was furious at those comments and has done nothing but whine all day. She probably spewed so much hate about it to her children as well. Probably on the phone with her favorite child Nurie(don't ever try to deny that Jill, you have made it more than clear).

For Dave to jump on and post all that jibberish, making it seem like they are better than anyone else. Again, they only preach about what they believe are facts and the rest of us that don't feel the same, are wrong and non-Christians.

The fact that Heidi's grandma chimed in, speaks volumes to me. I'm glad Ellen called her out. I know how it can be wrong to do that on social media, but Dave's rant, made me shout even louder for Ellen.

I hope Tim and Heidi stay far away and don't try to defend Jill in any way whatsoever!

I hope Heidi and Tim never see Jill and David again.  Never let them see the grandkids, the hard boundaries with toxic people thing.  And may Jonathan and Kaylee decide they need to be closer to his family.

It's not about the kissing.   It's as Heidi's grandma so eloquently put it "TMI."   Its nobody's business whether its their first kiss or not.   Ya'all may KNOW it is.   But that does not mean you have to broadcast it to the world.  

But Jill and David will never get it.  He may look checked out watching his map, but in his own bored and boring way, he is as bad as she is.

EXACTLY THIS!

No way this wasn't a copy and paste job from somewhere else.  I refuse to believe Dave can provide a definition of any multisyllabic word, much less write this all out during commerical breaks on the map. 

Well, he did use “there” when he should’ve used “their.” 😂😂😂
