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

Current ticket price for an all-day admission to Sea World Orlando is $59.95 per person (over age three).  A pass with all-day dining is $99.99.  If Kaylee, Nurie and Nathan paid for themselves, that means the Rods forked over admissions for nine people. That’s $540 not including tax. Or food. I seriously don’t think Nathan paid for everyone at that price. Then Jilly and DBD went in to spend a day at Epcot and stayed at least one night in a hotel. Where in God’s green earth do they get this money????  I know it’s not from Plexus.

someone bought them all those tickets, who is that dumb? for some reason I think it was Samuel and maybe Nate/Jon. who knows?

it was not Jill and David.

I'm thinking they spent their tax refund money. Jill bragged that DBD uses TurboTax.

Janessa lost some teeth. Sofia looks the usual aka near death pale and thin.

[oliviabenson]

Jill photoshopped his crotch?

Keller kids look big eyed and frightened all the time. it's concerning.

and while on the carousel Keller boy and Nessie and Sofia didn't smile they looked sad and dead eyed.

This family has no joy inside. How sad.

I think the braids and the scarf look nice on her.

I share concerns about the Keller kids. The boys seem delayed, and Naomi was not responsive when Best Mimi spoke to her in her screechy baby voice.

Or she pulled off an amazing grift.

I cannot fathom wearing all that clothing  and make-up to an  amusement park.   It’s not just the Christian fundies  that do this either, other religious people wear just as much clothing everywhere.  I’d have mascara and make-up running down my face and be sweating badly.

Or alopecia, which I suffer from currently.  Never a hat person or head coverer, but I sure am now.

I suffered hair loss with COVID and it's been a challenge with some hair growing back, but it's still quite thinned out.  I'm on a regular med that causes hair thinning so it's a double whammy.  Many days it's just easier to put a scarf on it than deal with all the product and blow dryer to get it to look decent.  Nurie looks a bit like that was her approach to a day out with braids and a small scarf to keep it in place.

The eyebrows look much less swoosh-y and more even.  I'd like to see them stay that way for a bit, JILL.

For the love of Lord Daniel of the Laundromat!  People have bodies, Jill!  And most of us couldn’t give a rat’s patootie what DBD’s crotch looks like!  It’s when you do something like this that it draws attention. No one wants your man, Jill.

But each year their refunds get lower as more of their kids reach 18. And this year Jill had MORE self employment income (and thus self employment taxes). It doesn’t add up, unless they’re cheating.

I think the issue is not if, but how much are they cheating. Jilly probably offsets any Plexus income with all her personal Plexus purchases and all her new outfits for Plexus events. I’m sure she doesn’t report as income The amount she skims off her women’s retreat.

It’s not actually legal to write off new clothing for Plexus events. Hello, IRS?
