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.

I wonder what family "dinners" around the Rod table are like? The kids watch as David dips up first, Jill second and the kids fight over the scant remainders - that's what I picture anyway!

Is this how you catch a hunk? Post pics of your own feet on Instagram?

Her feet look very swollen. The ring is cutting off her circulation. And the sexy anklet. She really is going for seduction of hunks!

I'm very glad they look so happy.  I agree, the dress is a "choice", but it could be so, so much worse.  I'm also very happy that I do not have to live Nurie's lifestyle.

I think her dress is pretty. It’s probably light weight so relatively cool. 
 

I don’t have to worry about sunburn but I wear more clothes in the summer time than the average person because I FREEZE inside of air conditioned buildings. I’d rather be a bit warm walking in somewhere than freeze half the day.

Jill can carry that little bag on her Hawaiian cruise. Oh wait . . . .

I used to wear toe rings when they were popular in the '80s? '90s?, but mine slid down the toe, not stuffed on the end. I'm waiting for the post in the emergency room where she's waiting to get the ring cut off so she might have a chance to save her toe. 

Isn't Plexus a diuretic? Why does she look so puffy if she's really drinking that stuff?

Some people just have puffy feet. With Jill and the way the toe ring fits, I have to wonder when the last time she removed it was. 🤢

The last time I wore a toe ring was probably in the early 2000s, when my daughter was about 12 or 13, and we'd go to the mall, where the only things cheap enough to convince her to part with her money were at Claire's. We would get an assortment of whatever sparkly trinkets we could find for $1 each ( preferably less). She still hates spending money, and I still like sparkly trinkets, but have not set foot in a Claire's in a good 20 years. No particular Rod content here, sorry, except that Mahmo's toe ring and anklet just whisked me back.

So off on another vacation they really can't afford if they want to get a new RV. Jill's really banking on the grift, isn't she?

Jill’s lack of self awareness is a nightmare to all, and apparently bulletproof as well.

Those are HER feet? 

I thought surely they must belong to her hunk because of how swollen they are.

i'm guessing it's a knockoff of the popular lululemon belt bag that all the kids are using now.  lots of places are selling the dupes of them and this actually looks like one of the better ones.  

that said.. i wonder if they're gifting any of the stanley 40oz tumbler dupes that all the boss babes of instagram/tiktok are showing off lol

I know there is a significant (and disgusting) age gap between Jill & David.  Has it ever been mentioned what he did prior to meeting her?  I'm just wondering if he's ever had a job.  Well, not that he has one now, so...

Pretty sure Dave wanted a sheltered/naive/brainwashed/uneducated/meek wife.

 

He found Jill and voila has a family which is ruled by him and is under his thumb. 

Dave is such a creep and not a catch whatsoever, he is a lazy and evil by raising his kids so poorly with no life skills and uneducated.

Hallelujah!  David and I felt at the END of ourselves. 😢  So many battles of life. 💔  The weight is sometimes crushing......UNTIL, we knelt down to pray together.  🙏  

We poured our hearts out to God.  
We gave our burdens to Him.  
We thanked Him for the MANY blessings He has given us!  
We trusted Him.

He then gave answers and relief.  David did research.  He took a step of faith to fix our RV with the boys rather than take it in to mechanic.  As of right now, we think it is fixed.  🤞🤞  Please pray with us that the problem has been solved through the guidance of sweet Jesus and my AMAZING husband and sons!  🥰🥰🥰  We are blessed!  😉😊

That’s a lot of words to say “We watched a RV repair video on YouTube”

God does instructional videos on the internet apparently. 

Even with such divine instruction, Jill isn't confident the van is fixed. Keep your finger on the Donate button.

Hubby says the part David is holding looks like a water pump. Since the van was overheating, it makes sense. 

Since Dave doesn't know what he's doing, the first trip out could be it. I kind of hope the inevitable breakdown happens on Jill's much-needed vacation to Florida, in which she plans to frighten Nemo and Newbie and empty Nathan's wallet with boat rides, visits to theme parks, and dinners at the nice Olive Garden.

I know Jill and Hunk are willfully stupid but you'd think in self-preservation their sons could take lessons on car repair.  I guess grifting is easier and more profitable.

Too bad Jill hasn't put her grifting talents to use to get those lessons for her sons. No way, of course, would the Lord Daniel want her to pay, like, real money for such things.

My husband likes to fix things to save money. He does well on automobiles, fairly well on other machinery like lawnmowers and snowblowers, and not stunningly on household appliances. I usually have to step in and order a replacement or a repair for those.  

Unlike the Hunk, my husband always had a job until he retired, and now he still does occasional small jobs for pocket money and something to do. He doesn't sit around waiting for me to sell overpriced drink mixes or beg for money so we can take frequent vacations we don't need and can't afford.

 Jill doesn't want her children to be more skilled and educated than she and Hunk are, a low bar, for sure. These two losers have BIG egos to protect.

Maybe people want Jill to cut and color their hair or to drop off some laundry for Lord Daniel to wash, dry, and fold. I'm assuming the "beauty" salon and the washers/dryers (and who knows what else) are still in the back of the print shop establishment.

Jill thinks it makes her appear officious, not that she would realize that being called officious is actually an insult.

I would think having successful, educated offspring would profit Jill much more in the bragging rights department, and would make her look better to others (which seems very important to her).  "My son is a famous brain surgeon and my daughter is a famous writer" would put her on the map.  Now, I realize none of her kids would ever pass med school or be able to write a paragraph in real life, but, with proper education and examples of a work ethic, who knows what these kids could have been.  At least they could have had careers and not not dependent on grifting.  I guess what I am trying to say is that these kids have never had a chance in life, and being told they are doing "God's work"  by singing and begging is just sad.

Jill is allergic to actual work so no way she would actually cut hair or laundry or babysitting or anything for $.

She sends her sons to work. Too bad she didn’t birth 13 sons. 
 

What’s sad is that she didn’t even bother to educate her sons so she could take all their $. No trained electricians or plumbers for the Rodrigues sons.

It's not clear exactly what the male Rodlets do except for Phillip. 

I seriously believe Jill and David, consciously or not, don't want their kids to have a better life than they do. They've deluded themselves into thinking going to work and earning a living is somehow beneath such godly people as themselves. The truth is they're just lazy and full of their own importance. 

Ironically, it's OK for Jonathan to work full time in a company and give money to his useless in-laws. Tim once had a calling to be a pilot but that seems to be gone. I'm not sure how much effort he put into getting the licenses he needed, but being handicapped by a fifth-grade education and parents with their hands out for money all the time didn't set him up for success. 

I've seen many poor families who value education and do their best to help their children have more than they had. It doesn't always work, but it can't hurt.  

Rant over.
