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..

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.

As noted above this whole thing isn't about purity, its about speaking out of turn.

And since when do opinions need to be backed up by scripture to make them right? 

Lastly, do Jill and David realize having a man defend their wife's opinion carries no weight in the real world?

Nurie has now commented on David’s post.  Just like the other commenters, she has no clue what the original issue was.  They are all assuming that the negative comments were about whether or not the couple should have waited to kiss. They don’t understand that the negative comments on Jill’s post were about Jill announcing it to 8000 peopje without permission. Although we did see Ellen’s post on her own page about it being a preference not a command. So I guess Ellen realized Jill was being holier than though.  
 

Hallie flipping the bird is just going to incite further response from Jill. What a mess this has become.

If DBD wants scriptural support for the MYOB and leave your child's sex life off social media argument may I suggest

Matthew 6:1

1 “Be careful not to practice your righteousness in front of others to be seen by them. If you do, you will have no reward from your Father in heaven."

And since the BCE (best couple ever) have spent the past twenty years so busy parading their righteousness that they neglected to feed their own children, let alone a stranger, I think that if there is a Heaven and a day of reckoning in it, those two will be in for a shock.

Matthew 25:40 ESV /

And the King will answer them, ‘Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.’

2 Corinthians 13:11-14 (KJV)

"Greet one another with an holy kiss"

 

There are 0 biblical mandates about kissing before marriage. Only that you should not kiss if doing so leads you to impure thoughts or actions.

Of course Nurie chimed in.   The only difference between Nurie and Jill is that Nurie is married to an actual preacher who works.   Otherwise she is a carbon copy of Jill, brain dead and judgmental.   

Jill is not going to take over Heidi and Tim's lives and that is going to drive her crazy.

Nurie’s reply on David’s post:

 

“Thank you Daddy and Mama, for always being such a refreshment to my soul! Thank you for lovingly standing for truth and righteousness.  It is such a beautiful thing when a young couple save themselves for each other and choose to save there first kiss for there wedding day. It is such a good testimony and I don't know why anyone would put that down or act ashamed of that. It was so special for Nathan and I to share our first kiss on our wedding day and nothing I would be ashamed to share.  Our goal in life should be to bring God glory and I am so thankful for parents who have strived to do that their whole lives.  There is truly a war going on in our country, between right and wrong,  but PRAISE the LORD we are on the winning side.  I am so thankful for God's goodness in my life and the wonderful family I have. Keep standing strong! 💗

So, Jill didn’t show up for the wedding in a boot, in a wheelchair, and she didn’t wear white, but she did this. She’s receiving what she considers “backlash”, and doesn’t even understand why.

There has to be a medical term for this.  Persecutory delusion, perhaps? Or just delusional?

I will give one teeny tiny in fairness to Nurie, I seem to remember that Jill made the same gushing comments about Nurie and Kaylee's "purity" (ugh) around their courtship/marriage and no one objected except for us snarkers. I wonder if it landed a little strangely that no one in their circle tried to defend their privacy, but now that not-so-golden-boy Tim comes a long and the internet is in an uproar. I realize that this is because Tim seems to be the first Rod with in-laws that are in any way engaged in their children's lives, but I wonder how and if N and K see it.

This is true. But Nurie and Kaylee did not have there own social media accts when they got married and as far as we know had not told mama they would handle making their own posts with what information they wanted to share.

Tim and Heidi have made that decision and Jill has made a point of telling us just that.

Brianne also reactivated her fb for a hot minute to support Mrs Jill.  Wonder how Brianne will feel when Mrs Jill films her privates in the delivery room and tells a graphic story of her giving birth and TMI postpartum info.

Family members, specifically Heidi’s grandmother requested she remove a particular post. Instead she deleted such comments, left the post up, and then basically went on a rampage with HER as the victim.

Exactly. I doubt that Nurie, David and Brianne even know the content of  the family’s comments on the purity post and are just reacting to Jill’s version of the ‘backlash’.  This is what Jill is like as an in-law.

Maybe because Jill made a passive-aggressive post about a year ago letting everyone know she was asked not to post about Heidi and Tim without their permission. Then when she is allowed to share pictures she goes way to far in what she shares.

Jill must be a complete terror at home right now, raging to anyone who will listen that she's being attacked and persecuted. Those poor kids (I say that a lot about the Rod kids, sadly). I hope Tim and Heidi choose not to engage in this, but I can see Tim making a post defending Jill. I don't think he's broken away as much as others do, that will take years of consistent effort. 

I do wonder if Jill considers this latest kerfuffle to be worse than the devil attacking her with that demonic can of green beans years ago. 🤣

Nurie's post, which also missed the point, is an understandable defense for her mom until she threw this in:

Jill must really be in a panic.  Two of her sons have chosen their own way instead of being obedient to Mama.  One chooses to follow his heart, and one leaves home and follows "false" doctrine.  This is destroying her reputation of being the perfect mother to a perfect family (in her mind), so she will resort to trying to prove how much better than everyone else she is.  I don't think we have seen anything yet.  She needs to have the last word, but I think she has met her match.

Also Nurie, the angel sent from heaven to their family, and Nathan seem to have drawn a hard line on letting mama make some dramatic post of Naomi's birth and The Hill family has all but vanished from social media. Both their own posts and Jill's posts.

Nurie Keller , thank you, sweetheart.  <3  I am thankful that our children allow us to share this decision and purity with others.  It is such a great testimony!  Daddy and I and all 3 of my sisters also shared our 1st kiss on our wedding day, and we were thrilled to share that with others.  😁  Thank you for your sweet spirit, love and support darling daughter.  ❤️  Daddy and I appreciate you (and your family) more than you will ever know!  🥰🥰

And, there she goes... Jill, her sisters and both her married daughters bragged about not kissing their husbands before marriage, hence it is right and just for Jill to share the same information about Tim and Heidi.  Jill's way is the only way and they are wrong to not want Tim's mother to share their personal information with the world.  Jill is right, they are wrong, she wins.  She always wins-in her own mind.

I bet Jill is texting Tim 4x a day on his honeymoon over this too.  

I do feel for Tim and Heidi, this is not a good way to start off a marriage.  I wish Jill would think of that before dying on her sword.  

I also don't think Tim is too far removed from his mom.  Most of the changes lately were done probably at the request of his new wife, not so much to dismiss his mom.  Afterall, he did stay pure until his wedding day like his mom and dad told him too.  All this bickering now between the two families has to be heavy on both Tim and Heidi's hearts.

And here we were all just worried about Jilly showing up in white and/or in a wheelchair for the wedding. I must say she really outdid herself with this stunt.

I was reading the comments on Hunk's FB post about the "backlash" and every single person is totally missing the point. Sheesh.

I love that. I think they should go no contact for 30 days after this little Jill oversharing and fit throwing.  Next time 60 days and so on.  Also don't tell her anything that isn't already known.  Let her wait and hear about pregnancies with the rest of the world.

In a way, this reminds me of the blowup between the Rods and their church in New York several years ago.

Jill started her holier than thou criticisms against church members who weren't following the correct doctrine (the Rods' idea of it, anyway), the church leaders argued back, David weighed in, Bible in hand shouting verses to prove J&D were RIGHT, Jill started crying to her children about how everyone was being so mean to her, and the church leaders held their ground.

Jill, David, and their bunch of kids, left the church, and moved to West Virginia.

The congregation (probably) cheered and went on with their lives. 

Jill and David live to get into other people's business and shake their stubby fingers in people's faces. They both have a bad combination of no boundaries and delusional superiority.

Timothy’s FB post about his move and new job has had several additional comments posted since the wedding. Most just congratulate him on the wedding.  However a few are congratulating him on the wedding and include references to the TMI on the purity issue, or advise him to ‘leave and cleave’ for a healthy marriage.  He has responded to a couple of those with ‘Thank you’ without further comment 

Jill appears to have been silent on this issue since David’s response.  Maybe Timothy and Heidi have since made their feelings known to all parties.

Jill ordered the Rodlets to gather around her while she sulks and licks her wounds.

Thank you, Gabriel, for your tears of "Thanksgiving" (usually a holiday with a nice meal, but for your special family and guests, a tiny burnt ham and one oddly sliced pineapple) and the song you didn't know. I hope all the Rodlets cried about being born  into a family that centers around a vain woman who has time to sell Plexus, shop, and take vacations, but not a moment to respect and nurture her children. Best Mama Ever feels much, much better now. For the moment, anyway.
