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.

Is she really selling this stuff? She must be for her to keep listing so diligently. 

Jill does seem to go in manic phases on new things and then it is never mentioned again.

Her lifelong dream of a quarterly magazine lasted all of 1 photo shoot, and 1 issue that she is still trying to give away for free a year later. 😂

I hope that these outfits are bought by fans/friends and not by perverts who get off on owning the clothes those girls wore.

Surely that top is lined. Why does she need a tank top (not included) underneath it?

How are they getting these clothes to fit? Renee has to be a zero, maybe Jill can get on a 14, but not that girl, or any of the others.

Due to her height Renee looks thinner than she actually is.  The Rod older girls are all larger than they look in Jill's photos.  When they were pictured with someone like Jana (Duggar) Wissman, it became readily apparent they aren't really size 0.

Every time I think she has the most hideous outfit for sale, she tops it with a worse outfit.

Seriously size 14 skirt on ever so trim Renee

At least she listed the actual size on this one. In at least one other, she described the size of a skirt as “medium largish.” So which is it? Unbelievable that Etsy allows that.🤦‍♀️

As of yesterday, she had made 10 sales. Yeah, I can't believe it either. 

But no negative reviews yet - the theory is that perhaps she’s paid for them herself  in return for positive reviews? Apparently that’s a known MLM type tactic.

Words by Nurie:


“Happy Birthday,  Mama!!!!! I am so Thankful to the Lord for blessing me with such an unselfish, kind, loving,  cheerful,  supportive,  godly,  hardworking,  beautiful,  and caring Mama!!! Words can not express how much I love you. Thank you soooo much for giving 100% into everything you do. I don't know how you keep up with all that you do and yet you always have a smile on your face. You have taught me so much in my life not just by your words,  but through your actions.  You are my hero and I am soooo blessed to have such a WONDERFUL example in you. Most of all, thank you for showing me Christ's Love and raising me in the ways of the Lord.  I will forever be grateful for ALL the ways you have poured into my life. I love you soooo much and hope you have a really special birthday!!!!! Love, Nurie

Jill’s reply, “Thank you, darling daughter.  These kind and thoughtful words mean so much to me!  🥰🥰  I fail a lot, but I am thankful for God's grace and guidance in my life.  I am especially thankful for a loving, honoring and kind daughter as YOU!  Love you, sweet angel!  ❤️  Mama xoxo 😘”.

9 adjectives praising Jill in just the first sentence.  Too bad none of them are true.

It isn't that hard to grab a tape measure and give the numbers if nothing else. Doesn't take 2 minutes to measure the bust, waist and length of a garment; especially since all sales are final.

I presume Jill is having her daughters model the clothing without mentioning that they are not actual size 14's themselves as a sales tactic.  Someone looking at the photos might think, 'Boy, what a flattering outfit!  The model sure doesn't look like she's a size 14, I need that in my closet.'

Jill is so dishonest in virtually every aspect of her life.

Why didn't Jill model the size 14 gray number? It would fit her with little or no pinning, and we could see how it really looks.

Poor Renee getting stuck in this dreary blast from the past. At least, she isn't wearing visible modesty tights under the skirt. However, the blouse is sheer and needs a camisole, which isn't being sold with the outfit. So much for modest outfits from the Creamy Schemy boutique. Jill is cheaping out on a fifty-cent used tank top.

Since most of the Rodlet kids don’t have their own social media, we will have to wait until they are able to “get on” Jill’s account. No excuses for andKaylee or Timbits though. Or David, he presumably is able to post all by himself, lol.

The Rods voted early because they are now in Pennsylvania again to grift and for Dave to take Jill on her 98th vacation/getaway of the year for her birthday.

All of those so called “outfits” are a mish mash of things that don’t go together worn with cheap (looks like a 10 year old made them) jewelry items.

Words by Kaylee:

 

Happy Birthday to my Mama, an individual with a heart of pure gold. 💖
 Every year, my admiration, respect, gratitude and appreciation for this exceptional woman continues to grow. Sometimes, one's love and thankfulness for someone can run so deep that it becomes challenging to express adequately. This is precisely how I feel this year; my love runs profoundly deep, making it difficult to articulate the depth of our bond. 
I love you, Mama (my Sunshine)  🥰💕

I wonder why we have not seen pictures of the new dog.  I hope it is not sitting in a cage all day.  Maybe she got some heat for spending money on a new dog and not on food for her kids.  Or maybe she doesn't want her marks to see how she spends their money.

They had the dog at the pumpkin farm outing. I had predicted Jill would make it a purse dog. But first Sadie, then Jill had it in a baby carrier sling thing they were wearing

Renee’s words:

 

As I'm sure most of you all know, today is my BEAUTIFUL, (inside and out), Mama's birthday. 💞   She truly is my greatest inspiration here on earth.  One of the things I value most about her is the sacrificial love she shows on a daily basis to others. More than temporal gifts or birthday wishes, I know that for her, the greatest gift comes from serving and loving others to bring joy to their lives. She'd rather see a smile on someone else's face and will give beyond measure in order to make that happen than to seek her own comfort or pleasure. No matter where she is or what she is doing, she will drop anything to serve or encourage her family. More than anything, she loves and serves the Lord with her whole heart, mind, and soul and bases her life off of the Bible rather than wordly opinions. I could go on and on, but will just end in saying that she is truly the best Mama a daughter could ask for!! 

I love you to my favorite star and back again, Mama!! 💫💛💫💛💫💛💫💛💫💛💫💛  Thank you for being the best Mama and friend in the whole wide world!! 💗  HAPPY BIRTHDAY!  🎂  Much love, Renee.

One of two things are going on here.  Jill is the one who is writing all the tributes for herself on FB, and she's just slapping the kids' names on them to make sure she gets enough compliments OR she has made it a competition for the girls to see who can get the most popular "gag me with a spoon writing".  She can be using the number of likes on each birthday note. 

Is anyone in a betting mood?

Or maybe too-eager-to-please Brianne wrote all the Best Mama birthday tributes, and Jill stuck the Rodlets' names on them and added extra emojis. These Praise Mama posts have better vocabulary, grammar, and punctuation than any of the Rods, including Jill, can produce. Kaylee's post, for example, has a correctly used semicolon. Neither Jill nor Kaylee has a clue what to do with a semicolon.

I noticed the same thing.  The post was not Jill's--or any of her "students".  It was too correct and used  proper grammar.  I thought someone else was writing these, but Brianne didn't occur to me.   It's a distinct possibility that she will be the new family post writer.  I wonder if Jill tells her what to write, or if she comes up with ideas of her own.

If Stockholm syndrome were a poorly worded and punctuated letter, it would be those tributes to Jill from her daughters.  Telling also that Nurie used the word "unselfish" as her first adjective...that seems weird to me, but all of their posts always seem weird, so...

Also, how many different outfits has Jill posted so far - 100, at least?  Where did all of those clothes come from, where were they being stored, and how is it that she is seemingly selling such a huge amount of *NEW* clothes?  Is she buying from Goodwill and marking up?

Which is worse, creating cheesy posts to honor (and flatter) Worst Mama Ever or modeling ugly, bedbug-infested modest outfits for Mama's desperation boutique? 

It's a tough choice, Brianne, but if that was it, you probably made the right decision.

Thank you to ALL the people that wished me happy birthday, yesterday!  🥰  You all and my dear family and the church we were singing at, made me feel so special!  🎶 😊❤️

But I must say, It was the best birthday ever because Timothy Rodrigues and Heidi C Rodrigues  came to the church we were singing at in PA, and surprised me for my birthday.  I cried.  Then they came over to our RV to have coffee and visit for awhile.  I was BEYOND thankful and blessed.  

I don't know if I have ever seen two people more perfect for each other as Timothy and Heidi.  🥰🥰  I LOVE watching them interact and love each other.  I am SO blessed to have Heidi as a "daughter in love" now.  My heart is FULL of joy!  God is Good!  

Love you all!  Xoxo 🥰🥰🥰  -Jill
