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

[GeeGolly]

Hmm, Cascade and a dishwasher magnate. Wherever they're going to live has a dishwasher. Other than the marriage tchotchkes, the two things that stand out to me are the man's watch and the blow dryer.

But then there is this: Malin + Goetz Body Wash Rum, priced @ $36.00. "Scented with our best-selling Dark Rum fragrance."

My questions about that grift are endless.

At the very end is something called Wedding Tokens Mother of the Bride - and it’s marked Purchased! What a surprise, something for Jill has already been bought 🙄

Several of the registry items seem to be things for the actual wedding, such as 100-piece party favor boxes

[Minivanessa]

Are we sure that's not a spoof registry? The Knot proudly registers same sex couples, a concept which would certainly fry the brains of the Rodriguii and the Kellers. I clicked the link above and saw a Precious Moments figurine listed which could be a dig at the gift that JillR posted about (from Nathan to Nurie or vice versa). I view all those registries for publicly known folks with a big dose of skepticism.

Fake flowers and flameless candles. It all seems chintzy enough.

Hee! Nurie obviously got her decorating skills from Jill.

I had to stop looking after I saw the Body Brush.  That's just too personal of an item to be a wedding gift. Eeeww.  😫

If you try to click on any of the products, it goes to Amazon, but then says "No matches found." Says the registry could be set to private.

This Marriage Takes Three thing has me thinking instead of the cross, Jill would insert a picture of herself and give it to them..

[galaxychaser]

Wifey flip flops 🤣

[BradandJanet]

Tools and toolboxes? I don't know if the Kellers have the skills to use these things, but I bet Master Carpenter, Plumber, Electrician and Best Hubby Ever David will explain to  Nathan everything a young fellow needs to know about a man and his tools.  

No way Jill will have the registry private. That's a violation of the first law of grifting. What a shame. Here I was ready to drop $20 on dishwashing pods for them. 

[emma675]

Geez, that's not a wedding registry, it's an all out gift grab. A man's watch? A body brush? Do these people have no shame?

Nurie has grifting in her DNA.  She did manage to grift a decent car for the family after she totaled their junker.

I have the feeling that cross will be replaced by Jill’s picture.

My apologies to @Madtown, I didn’t realize my thought was old news.

Cousin Amy’s registry was for ten thousand dollars worth of shit, and I think Jessa had a MacBook on hers. Nurie and Uglie’s registry totals roughly $2840.

A $30 men’s wooden watch! Like that isn’t going to be thrown in a drawer within a month because it’s chunky and redundant in a world of iPhones.

[beckie]

They also want a subscription to Amazon Prime. Or is that automatically added by Amazon?

[Oldernowiser]

Wow that’s one ugly watch.

[Zahdii]

Pretty sure it's a fake registry.  It's been modified, but at the beginning people noticed that the gifts were to be sent to some state that has no known Kellers or Rods living there.

[PradaKitty]

It looks like a garage sale registry!

That would be some inefficient grifting, padding out stuff you want with tacky crap the putative couple wants. Plus I can’t see the registry on amazon, it’s been set to private, which makes the con so much harder.

[Westiepeach]

Plus did anyone notice THREE sets of silverware???

[Temperance]

Expensive wedding registries are in. The site/store gives the couple a discount if no one purchases the items. I first thought it was just a Duggar/fundie, but then I saw other registries and I realised it's a bigger trend.

That registry on Amazon looks legit, but there was an obvious fake one. It included items Nurie and Nathan would never register for like condoms, and a book on toxic mothers.

Personally I don't care what they register for and if they get it. Anyone who spends money on the Rods deserves to spend (or waste) money on the Rods. There are too many trinkets on the registry imo, but tastes differ. 

[Fuzzysox]

Just stopping in to say hi and when is the wedding?

Ah. Plus there is no KitchenAid mixer for Mama. Remember the "Pamper Mama" shower thing Nurie Jill threw for Mama herself when she was pregnant with Jenessa? There was a boatload of non-baby stuff on her "registry," and one of the items listed was a KitchenAid mixer. It's not a real registry unless there is a KA mixer for Mama because she is the BEST MAMA EVAH.

[galaxychaser]

I’m willing to buy them condoms and clearasil! Heck I will throw in a set of purple towels and purple gum.

Nurie needs to know about the existence of orgasms and how her body works first. Doubt Mama Jill knows herself.

[Sew Sumi]

Not to mention, Nurie would have no idea what the vibrator actually does. Lord knows how she'd try to use it! 😂

Probably would use it on her temples to relieve a headache as some of the pictures on boxes seem to suggest (full disclosure, I have no idea, really, never having gone to WalMart or similar in search of said item, but for some reason this is the illustrative image which comes to mind...)

Is the lube mixed with Plexus?

Josie Bates attends a church that describes itself as premillennial and old fashioned gospel. Is that Fundy speak for extreme beliefs?

Premillennial probably refers to eschatology - beliefs about the end times. Old-fashioned gospel most likely means preaching about salvation, alter calls, focusing on repentance and forgiveness being the only way to Heaven.

Read that quickly as "scatology"....

Esther Shrader give birth to a healthy baby boy named Joseph today. She and John now have 12 children. Esther is Priscilla Waller's, Anna Duggar's, and Nathan Keller's older sister. She and John live in Zambia, where they have a ministry.

I really love that we are on a message board about a reality TV show and someone mentions eschatology. You all are amazing.
