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

includes a video of Jill and Dave being all lovey/dovey. Dave lifts her up and they kiss while he holds her up by her butt. whoever is filming them must be blind from that display of mahdest Christian love. 

 

Happy Ohio  Christmas winter everyone. ho ho ho.

"Full time" except for shilling Plexus, which must take some time from her "ministry".  Except for selling used clothing and posting all the pictures, which must take some time from her ministry.  Except for all the vacations.  Except for the time to get manicures and show them off on line.  Full time, except for those things.  There is no way that getting a manicure is part of any ministry.

IOW, Nurie can't handle the kids she has without help. 

What I’ve read is that Renee will stay there for a few days and come up to Ohio with Nathan and Nurie. That tells me that  Nurie and Nathan need help on the drive up from Florida to Ohio.  Or Nurie wants to go Christmas shopping and needs Renee to watch the kids while she does. 
 

However if Nurie does need constant help with the kids, then she should ask to have Renee year round.

Homebody Jill is now in florida. She is staying at a condo. Shilling plexus to speed up metabolism because she has noticed hers has slowed down. Oh and we should buy Restore "that effectively detoxes your liver"

At one point she sticks one of her shiny manicured nails into her ear canal.🤮

So Jill and Dave (?) drove Renee down to florida to drop her with Nurie for a week until they come to the barndo for christmas.

Renee is going for a visit to "be a blessing to Nurie"

Wouldn’t a simple one way plane ticket to Florida for Renee have been MUCH cheaper? WTF?

Yet she has a husband who barely “works.” 🤷‍♀️

A flight for Renee would have been cheaper, but Jill loves the beach and would have been denied a trip to Florida. Remember, every decision in that house is about what Jill wants, even if it costs more money or makes no sense.

Everything Jill does is part of her ministry cos she’s the most dogly modest KJV person anywhere and everywhere. Her Plexus team has some ridiculous name like Diamonds of the Plexus Faith, so obviously a ministry, lol.

True! Also Jill is not comfortable spending money on her kids. Spending it on herself, the true love of her life, feels right to her.

What kind of vehicle does Nurthan have that will seat 3 car seats plus 3 adults? Although they don’t seem too concerned with child safety laws so who knows what they do.

Sparkling Jewels of Faith 🙄

Jilly and Davey would NEVER let Renee fly solo. If she doesn’t have 24/7 babysitting (even as an adult) throngs of heathen men would try and steal her purity in the middle of a packed airport.

DBD is probably using this opportunity to deliver tracts to a church in Fla.  I’m sure shipping is included in the price, which translates to gas money for a trip to Fla.  Easy enough to drop Renee off at Nurthan’s on the way back.
And this does sound a bit like a set up for Renee. Let’s see if she winds up with a man in her stocking this Christmas.

Has she managed to get out of the metals' ranks and into the lower gemstones yet? She's been working on it for years. Not enough faith, obviously. 

[Salacious Kitty]

She'd be shouting from the roof of the barndo if she made Ruby. So no, still Senior Gold.

They never have been. Even after Nurie and another girl (Kaylee? Renee) were almost killed in a car accident or that Jill's sister was paralyzed in a car accident has done anything to change their minds on car safety.

They don't care because Jesus will protect them.

Beat me to it. And don't forget Nurthan's accident when Nemo was a baby (sitting on Nurie's lap). 

[oliviabenson]

Dave and her sons received plenty of traffic tickets. they are so careless with safety.

If shipping is already included with the price the clients pay, wouldn’t that make it illegal for them to try and write off the gas/mileage, condo, and other travel expenses?

The shipping charge to the customer would be reported as income.  The shipping expense or gas, etc.  would be reported as expenses.  Normal companies would hope that the income would be higher than the actual expenses.

why do her nails always look so weird? Does she get acrylics or something?  Her nails don't look like they "fit" her fingers.... anyone understand what  I mean? 

 

If she’s getting the type of manicure I suspect she is, it costs $45 (in small town KY), not counting the nail art.
