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.

Just saw Jill’s latest Instagram entitled “Christmas Winter in Ohio”. 
…What the hell is Christmas Winter??!

Her filming of the “Christmas Winter” scenery is on point with her cooking post, grey and grim.

Is there actually a tree under all that mess?  If there is, it is completely hidden.  It is hard to believe that she thinks this mess is so beautiful that she posts a picture.  She might as well have a stack of boxes "decorated" and just skip the tree.

I’m dying to know how much money was spent on redecorating the tree!

That could have been spent making your kids a good, healthy meal not slop.

Maybe Plexus would allow her to "splurge" on a trip to a doctor to check on the puffiness in her hands and neck. 

Any profits from selling Plexus go directly into Jill's vanity account: professional manicures, hair extensions, bleach, makeup, home decor, holiday decorations, new clothes for herself, meals out with Hunk, and personal vacations. No wonder she spends so much time trying to sell the stuff. It's all for Jill;  

How do God and Plexus end up in the same sentence?   Do they work together  like Amazon and UPS? Be careful, Jill. You're on shaky ground.

1. The first tree looked better.        
2. Pasta, chicken, eggs, tomatoes, precooked sausage and lunch meat, all topped with cheese is gastroenteritis personified. 
3. I wonder if Philly’s Christmas stocking will be mysteriously missing from the bunch hanging on the stairs this year?  
4. I wonder what movie Davey was enjoying on the map?                      
5. That music video was nightmare fuel.          
 

 

Phillip has a Xmas stocking.

I would guess only because he is unmarried. Also Jill would probably get questions about him not having one and was he living elsewhere.

Plexus money my a**. Jill posted they were off to grift at a new church sunday. Suddenly Jill gets pretty nails, tree gets an entirely new boat load of whatever that is. She is using the love offerings.

While I understand the desire to try and capture snow on trees at the beginning of winter (I live in Michigan so I also have Christmas Winter...I guess?), photographs rarely do it justice.  And flying down the highway captures it even worse.  Nice try, Jill.

Shouldn’t that wording be reversed and revised   Thanks to God that Plexus affords me the ability to splurge?  
 

And I don’t believe in splurges for people who need strangers to send them clothing.

Which they then sell as "new" for a questionable profit.

Nothing motivates Jill like selfishness.   Oh I should sell some stuff so the kids can have shoes that fit.   Oh I should sell some stuff so I can buy healthy meals for the kids.  (don't need it for the doctor visits, they are on state insurance which means ZERO out of pocket so they really have no excuse other than doctors are mandatory reporters).   Nope its, let's sell stuff so I can completely redecorate the tree and get my nails done.

Her radio silence didn't last long.  All this bragging and showing off how she spends money is going to get her in trouble with her marks donors.  I guess she didn't learn her lesson last time.  Why is Dave letting her get away with spending this way?  I would be surprised if  Plexus sales was bringing in enough to pay for all the decorations and manicures and used clothes to sell.  I hope the clearing house is paying attention.

Do they still attend the church where we think the pastor told Dave to manage his woman or have they moved on again?

I think they do still attend that church. Samuel and Jonathan were shown singing in the church choir sunday. No Kaylee though.

The other rods are sporadically shown with the choir, but they are gone about half the time. (the rest of the choir probably loves those sundays without Jill front and center)

irony is: she spends all the the money and looks cheap and tacky. maybe if she got a decent wig and a professional manicure and wore modest, plain clothing that fit... she just doesn't look nice like ever. she always looks like a clown no matter what she does fashion/makeup wise.

I was lucky to be blessed with a longer nail bed, hers is short and round. Growing up my friends and I were obsessed with long nails and polish and I knew a few that had the same kind of nail bed.

Not sure we know this for a fact.  The church they were attending posts various gatherings and services online.  Some Rodrigues' sleuth, on Reddit, I think; found a video of a service where Jill was asking for prayer for herself because her son, Phillip, had gone astray.  That was at the time he went to Oklahoma (?) and was hanging out with a different weird Christian cult earlier this year.  Anyway, the church's website usually gets only modest traffic as expected; but, once Jill was seen in the video and outed, the site got a zillion hits from people wanting to see Jill ranting and raving after reading about it online.

Shortly thereafter, the church removed the video and Jill started posting all sorts of lamentations about how she was being persecuted for her amazing Christian faith and specifically mentioned online harassment.  The theory here and elsewhere was that the pastor was pretty po'd to discover Jilly's extensive history of online craziness and told Dave to get his woman in line.  This lead to Jill taking a break from posting for a while, like a week or two.

Okay, some gray areas I missed about the pastor shutting down Jill. But as expected, she was back in a week or so, not chastised at all.

I think Dave knows what it is to feel the wrath of Jill and, although he is supposed to be her headship, he'll never lay down the law too firmly with her or she will make him suffer.  

So, he gave her a performative slap on the wrist, she went offline until the church members moved on to other more interesting things and then she came back full force.

Dave probably also knows that it's Jill's gift of grifting and her meager Plexus sales that allow him to relax, watch his map, and not bother to have to learn how to print something other than smiley tracts.  Why rock the boat if it's working so well for him?

As Christmas approaches, let us remember JillR's SEVERELY devout worship of Jesus as shown in this photo. IIRC it's from a Joy Baptist (their former church) service. The photo's a bit dark but you can see that she's holding her phone up and is looking at it. Getting, I believe, video of the service, with of course herself up front and center in it. IMO a complete stranger to the church scene might think that Jill was worshipping her phone. But, maybe that's just me. 

I wonder if we'll see such videos taken at their current church, or if the kerfluffle discussed above, has damped down some of Jill's videography. Remember, during that kerfluffle, at one point she posted on social media that her phone was deeply buried and forgotten in the bottom of her purse during church services. 

Sure, Jan.

If someone who has never heard of Jill Rodrigues asks you to explain who she is, just show them this photo and you will not need to say a word.

I understand being frugal but you can make decent and nutritious meals with some effort. They just don't care. Grow a garden! Read some recipes!

Back in 2019 here is Jill on gardening

"Home…oh, SWEET home! After being in our RV for 2 months, our home seems HUGE! We are SO blessed! Here I come, gardening!

LOVE being home and getting my little seedlings started for my garden. I had a HUGE garden in New York and a very small one when living in Clay, WV. Now, I am back to big.

I want to teach my children to live off the land. To be productive. To be hard working. To use their minds. To be creative. NOT to just sit around watching TV and playing on phones or social media. Mamas, let’s raise up a generation of productive children."

I agree even tater tot casserole or tuna casserole would be better than jills leftovers casserole creation. plain bread with peanut butter tastes better. 

Jill just doesn't care about feeding her kids. she keeps saying she loves to pour into and nourish her kids but it's just words.

And I guess Jonathan was buying her raw milk. because she is  back to using regular milk.

They are press ons and she's using a size that's slightly too big.  (When you do press ons, use one size smaller than you think you need and they will look much better!)
