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

Looking at the videos, DBD plays golf very poorly. Did he rent clubs? I can't imagine that he has his own.

"See internet-my hunky hubby doesn't JUST watch maps!"

I see the ugly shirt was prominently displayed.

[Chicklet]

That;s quite a picture of David "playing golf". Surely the man stands up and swings the clubs but no she has to show us his behind. 

And that post for praying for Amy, wasn't that written by Amy? Jill gets me so confused with her postings. Poor Amy, what a miserable life- being Jill's sister.

This could totally be a preview of a "Survivor" type show. I would totally watch because, train wreck!🤣

That reminds me of the ancient series "Queen for a Day."  The woman who had the saddest, sorriest story won it.  I can't remember it that well except the woman would receive a crown, regal robe, and some money that she'd tearfully accept.  The sorriest fundies could compete.

Wasn't there some sort of prize also?  Like a washing machine, or something that was part of the winner's story.  My aunt used to watch that regularly.

You're right.  They would usually ask for appliances.   https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0048895/

David could end up ill and housebound. That would be the end of the many vacations every year she has come to expect. 

Are you kidding me?   It would be griftapalooza for her then.   "Oh my poor husband who provided for the family can't work, please send money so we aren't out on the streets."   If he dies even better.   She can do the grieving widow act, talk about how PERFECT her HUNK was, how lost she is without him, how they lost the WONDERFUL provider for the family.  

Then she will take off on solo vacations.   If he is still alive -- because she needs a break from "caring" for him and if he dies because she needs time alone to grieve.   

As for golf - golf is NOT a cheap hobby.    So yet one more way they are all "oh we are so poor but we don't work and expect others to support our expensive lifestyle."

Meanwhile the household includes several adults who can work. If all of the kids over 16 worked, they’d have plenty of money.

Yes, that post was written by Amy. Jill originally started the Praying for Amy Foster" to provide updates about Amy after the accident. At some point, after they asked Jill to stop "Foster Fridays" and she ignored the request, Kevin and Amy took custody of the page and Jill no longer posts new Praying for Amy word salads there.

I wonder whose watching the kids while Jill and David take yet another vacation? I hope whomever it is, let's them eat to their hearts content.

I'm sure Kaylee (who should be planning a wedding) and Renee were in charge. The older girls down to Hannah probably did everything while the boys loafed around and watched the map.

I remember this show. The women had very sad stories, and the audience would vote using an "applause meter," which was not electronic or scientific in any way. 

The prize was usually an appliance, but it wasn't necessarily anything the "queen" wanted or needed. It was, I'm sure, whatever the show got from the sponsor. Even as a kid, I remember wondering why a woman whose husband's car broke down and he couldn't get to work won a dryer instead of a car.  

Jill R. would have been great on that show, telling her tragic story of being attacked by a demonic can of green beans. I would have liked her to win a five-year supply of baby food just for the image of DBD shoveling down a couple dozen jars of strained peaches in one sitting.

Searching for balls 🤣

Grifting golf balls! 🙄 When she was showing off the pool area, all I could think was how much her kids would enjoy it.  Of course, her children will never get to swim in a pool that nice because 1) DBD and BME would never take the kids to a place that nice and 2) an even halfway-nice establishment would never let anyone swim in street clothes.

It's a contest who has it worst: Esther far from home with her crazy husband, Anna and her jailed headship, and Jill and David Rod with their underfed waifs and endless stink bus begging tours.  

The Kellers are an interesting group. Some appear to have dodged the fundie bullet, but others, ouch! 

There’s no doubt in my mind that Esther would win.  That poor woman… my heart breaks.

[CalicoKitty]

Is Esther the one who was living in a pop-up trailer with many children?

Lame attempt at rationalizing taking yet another trip using money that should be feeding and clothing her children. Except they are always taking food from their children’s mouths to spend on themselves.

Painstackingly? 

Jill, that defense is weak sauce. Feed your kids! Pay for Kaylee's wedding!

I call bullshit on that bullshit, but if it happens to be even somewhat true, those pinched pennies could’ve been used to buy the waifs some decent, well-fitting shoes and clothes.  I’ve decided that DBD is as narcissistic as Jilly Bean, and they’re both a POS.

[oliviabenson]

[merylinkid]

Notice how she snuck in there that OF COURSE she gets nice things because she is holier than thou.    Guess feeding your kids is not something God wants her to do.

She knows people were questioning how she could afford another vacation so soon.    She can pretend to ignore the "haters" but it really gets to her that everyone doesn't automatically think she is the bestest thing ever.

Man she is such a liar. How long was she practicing that sad long sour face for? The anniversary trip $ came from grifting/go fund me. She saved/pinched pennies from where? They don’t work. 

[BradandJanet]

Jill used the somber filter on her face and neck in her post: we scrimped, saved, and went cheap (except for the golf and the restaurant meals) to celebrate our holy union.

Barf emoji, please.

If Jill wants to find David's balls. she should check her purse.  I'm pretty sure that's where she keeps them.

So, Jill pinched even more pennies to pay for their tickets for Sea World. That's not a cheap date, bitch. 

And the rental car. Why not fly in and rent a car in Florida? Especially since this trip was supposedly planned so far in advance. 🙄

What is more important, BME’s anniversary vacation or school? In JillR’s world, it’s always all about her. I’m sure Renee and Kaylee are just as qualified as BME to hand the Rodlets a used workbook. JillR is a lying liar.

[Madtown]

I had a Rod dream last night(or nightmare..lol). I never dream about these people or the Duggars. Jill had all these pill cases and I pretended to really like them, to explain why I opened them up. They were loaded with pills for the kids. The kids were in the dream, though the names were different for some and she had a 3 year old. Jill was the same though. I eventually told her that all her kids hated her..lol.

I feel sure that the children have never been to Sea World.  It’s like BME is rubbing their noses in it: “Look, children!  We got to go to Sea World and play with the dolphins, and it was SO MUCH FUN!” That fucking bitch infuriates me!

[BradandJanet]

Hello! This is the Rodrigues children. We are So Happy that Mama and Papa who are the Best Parents EVER 🥰🥰are having a Wonderful Anniversury 🎉trip to Florida. Like Jesus they do so Many good things for us. When Mama told us the Bible says she needs to celebrate their 25 Years of Holy Matrimoney ✝️we all said Go to Florida! 🏖️Stay in a Good Hotel! 🏨Rent a car! 🚔Do fun things like Golf 🏌🏻‍♂️and See World! 🐠Eat in the Nice Olive Garden! 🥫You deserve it for having 13 children and working so painstackingly* hard with Plexus and God! We all want to be slim for Kaylee's wedding so we don't need food. We all wanted our devoted Momma to have Money for her special trip. Sophia is turning green 😰 but she will be OK because of Jesus. Happy 25 Years!!! Love, My Devoted Children.

Every time I think I can't despise her anymore, she posts something else.  Jill, if you felt guilt, you would make sure your starving kids were fed. Hell, even let them go to Sea World. 
I do believe that God rewards faithfulness, but not with things, trips, and free money.  Someday, Jill, you will have to meet your Maker and at that time I don't see Him saying anything about your faithfulness.  He will (hopefully) ask her why did she starve her kids so that Dave could have extra food.  Why did her kids feel obligated to fast when neither parent ever fasted?  Why did she have all those stuffed animals, but her kids didn't get to play with them? Why won’t you wear the jewelry created by your daughters rather than going out and buying more? Why do your kids seem to not know how to play with toys?
What about those who are faithful that die from cancer, or are homeless, those people you would never lower yourself to help? You expect people to do things for you, but other than handing out smiley tracts, what do you do to help others?  Or even Amy and Trish,  I'm sure they have been faithful, but look at what both of them are going through, especially Amy.  
Maybe God is testing you Jill.  To whom much is given, much will be required (Luke 12:48).

If a ticket is $100 each no way Jill spending $1200 on the kid’s tickets alone. ( I don’t know how much a ticket is. Randomly picked $100)

For adults, they're listed at something like $135 apiece, but there are discount coupons galore for Sea World in Orlando, so they'd be suckers to ever pay that much.  It's not hard at all to get in for less than half of that.  Of course, $60+ apiece for 10 or more kids isn't cheap, either.  I think a kid who is 10 or older pays the adult rate while kids between 3-9 pay less and kids under 3 are free.  There are also a lot of deals where a paying adult gets one free kid's admission.

I wonder if the creatures at Sea World saw David as a big, tasty lunch. Jill needs to be careful where she takes her man. It's not just comely young women in shorts and halter tops that have their eyes on the Hunk. His appeal is cross species.

I don't think they'd find him tasty. And he'd probably constipate them.

You may be on to something! Hunk's facial expression seems to default to constipated. He definitely looks painted about *something*.
