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

[ALittleShelfish]

I'm sorry, Jill, but #11?  "Strive to learn to have complete self discipline over your flesh"?   So why bother with your performative mahhhhdesty?  If the men around you aren't actively trying to control themselves, maybe surround yourself with better men and then you would find yourself able to wear weather- and activity-appropriate apparel.  

I am perfectly happy in my little heathen world where I can wear pants and no makeup - and drink a glass of wine and eat all the cheetos I want - but thanks Jill.

Last night I had a crazy dream that Samuel and Gabriel were working with a team of guys turning our backyard into a campground. Some guy appeared with a heavily perfumed letter from Brianne to hand deliver to Samuel. But the guy gave it to Gabriel as a joke. The brothers were both very embarrassed.

Sam tells us since he married Brianne, every time his mama tries to share some private/personal info about them or soc. media, Brianne uses one of those long hot glue sticks to crack mama on her hands as she types. Which makes jill stop typing and she doesn't post. (the glue sticks the fundies use for toddler obedience training.)

Also, our neighbor was having a yard sale. Jill tried to grift some free stuff. Neighbor waved her hand around like she was shooing insects flying by her head and said "where is that glue stick I keep around to drive the pests away?" Jill ran to her van, while wearing her mermaid skirt, and left. 😂

There was more and it was all really funny.

It wasn't our actual house, yard or our neighbor. 🤷‍♀️

I have to ask, what is the deal with glue sticks and toddler obedience training?  That's something I haven't heard about.

Basically, you hit them with the gluesticks.

I first heard about glue sticks from the Pearls in their book To Train Up A Child. Used on babies during blanket training and in potty training. Apparently, they don't leave a mark. 🙄

That's what I remember, too.  They are sturdy, have some flexibility and don't leave marks.

They don't leave a mark and are quiet. Maybe it was SHP where someone said that was the correction tool of choice in church if you were fidgety. Mom or older sister brought one of those down on your arm or leg. But that you could hear this swish in the air and knew someone was getting corrected.

David Keller was shown holding one at Nurie and Nathan's house not too long ago. It was in a video Jill post about the cousins playing.

Which means they are still using the Pearl method.

No one Nemo doesn't try to run away but just looks horrified every time Mimi clutches him and screeches in his face, he knows he will get beat if he doesn't just take it.

No wonder Nurie's boys seem lifeless. They've had the joy of childhood beaten out of them.

Sadly he will be a "never complains" clone of his mother.

Except for Janessa who is often seen misbehaving ON CAMERA. She's a spoiled brat.

I might be imagining Nathan holding the glue stick as a warning to Janessa, to leave his kids alone!*

*a girl can dream!

Not happening with Jill. Janessa dragged Nemo through the play area at McDonald's recently. She was horrible to him. Neither Jill nor Nurie did anything other than record it.

Now I want wine and Cheetos for dinner.

Jill's Right Kind of Christian list smacks of someone who is feeling very high and mighty, believes that the election reflects positively on her, and is gleefully doing her selfless duty to share the ways in which you too can bask in the light that shines directly on Jill.  Maybe it's the timing but the entire thing rings false.

Considering the older Rod daughters spent time "visiting" the Pearls, I am not surprised that they are using Pearl methods.  Not surprised, but very sad.

[Salacious Kitty]

More holier than thou bullshit from Jill. 🙄

Do any of the Duggars still have a show that'son tv? If they do, is it on a streaming platform? I have a full cable/TV package, but can't find any listing for Counting On, etc.

Maybe it's for the best that I can't find the show, given how many times I'd yell at the TV for the family's hypocricies. 

[Salacious Kitty]

It's definitely been scrubbed from TLC. You might have some luck with Counting On on You Tube. 

It's felon-free, but there's still plenty of hypocrisy.
