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

[Albanyguy]

Even if she isn’t pregnant, I wouldn’t put it past her to make the grand announcement at the wedding and then claim to have a miscarriage a few weeks later. It probably wouldn’t even count as lying, since I think she convinces herself that everything she says is true as soon as it comes out of her mouth.

Sidney Dingus posted a couple pictures from Nurie's wedding shower. Unfortunately, I can't upload them, but take a guess at who is front and center? 

 

Where are they posted? I can try to post them.

Oh dear the hair on Jill and Nurie. Did they bring the rats that live in those nests to the party?

[GeeGolly]

This was posted above some other pictures with the JRods, on Sidney's FB page. (bolding mine) Also an FB friend of hers trashed the JRods in a post.

My favorite people in this world!! Best friends!!! Thank the Lord for best friends!!! Love you guys!!! David Jill Noyes Rodrigues #bestfriends #sistersinChrist #sistersinlaw

I'm going to have to seek out some more pictures because from that obstructive view her dress looks downright normal.

Too much to paraphrase, here's a link. But basically the OP says the JRods are abusive judgmental nut jobs and Sidney says that's not true, gossip is bad and Jesus.

Oh dear. Sidney is best friends with one of the Rod girls. Can’t tell which. 

Jill is probably pregnant and will make Nuri wedding day all about her. Jill is a narcissist. well at least Nuri gets to leave her prison soon! Yay!

I’ve been to many cheesy bridal showers (Heck, I HAD cheesy bridal showers), and I’ve NEVER seen the bride and her mother and sisters perform a song. Play stupid games, sure, but not sing. Once again, Jill has to remind Nurie that she is never going to enjoy the spotlight - not even for her wedding.

Part of a parent's job is to be honest with their kids even when it may hurt their feelings.

Okay JillR, do some parenting.

Between the painful school concerts I've sat through and the American Idol auditions I've seen, I'd say Jill's parenting is actually pretty common on this one. I'd like to say Tim's lack of talent and Jill's desire for him to make the video are rare, but I've sadly seen too many parents forcing kids to do things they have no desire to do to say it's also not uncommon. 

Nurie's dress for her wedding shower is pretty and appropriate, that's a step in the right direction. I'm not one to start screaming pregnant, but I'm going with Jill making an announcement at the wedding, most likely the rehearsal dinner. That way she can steal all the attention at both events. The nursery reveal for the 2 year old was basically a flashing neon arrow.

 

[irisheyes]

If Jill is pregnant now, then it’s even more pressure for Nurie to get pregnant on her honeymoon. Cause you know Jill’s counting on both of them being pregnant at the same time.  Gotta take that spotlight. 
I hope Nathan and Nurie make the decision to wait at least a couple of months, though I doubt it will happen. They’ve both been so sheltered, they need to learn about each other before they add a baby to the mix. But I doubt that will happen.

Mama needs a new blessing to replace the one leaving the nest. 

[galaxychaser]

Nuri is so skeletal I doubt she can carry/nourish a baby to full term.

[louannems]

In typical fundie fashion, Jill is cradling her lower abdomen as she sings. They only ever do that when pregnant, right? Once pregnant, a lady must always cradle her bump.

Jill will announce at the rehearsal dinner and promptly faint due to the stress of the pregnancy's severe effects on her delicate constitution.  Then, the Rod boys will be pressed into service, carrying Jill everywhere on a litter for the rest of the wedding, like Cleopatra on the Nile, probably dressed in her gown from her vow renewal complete with veil.

Things that make you go hmmm....  So, is that cookie mix they're bonding over?

[PradaKitty]

Nurie looks SS though she’s already dressed for the wedding- that dress would actually work as a wedding dress for a simple, low keyed ceremony. 
 

of course, her actual wedding dress will probably not be as pretty as her shower dress...

This came from the Redditor who posted the Timbits rumors.

[Zella]

I'm blind as a mole. What does Tim's shirt say?

If he did have an unapproved relationship, that would definitely explain why he suddenly lost golden son status. 

[GeeGolly]

The pic of Tim and the female could indicate a courtship, but it could also be so many other things.

Tim's wearing, what appears to be, a work shirt. It looks as though "E" may have the same shirt on. This could be a work related team building exercise.

And where are they? The background looks like maybe an industrial kitchen. Maybe E & Tim are leading activities at the care home he was said to work at.

[Sew Sumi]

Lake something. And a work ID on Tim's right.

They are SEVERELY close. More frontal than an acceptable side hug between an ENGAGED couple, never mind a courting one. That young woman is obviously sluttish with VERY loose morals. Mama would be rending her garments over his apostasy. 

[Chicklet]

I still think Jill colors Timbits' hair. Why else would the top be uh blonde and the sides be much darker, actually as dark as his eyebrows. Something is not right there and it bugs me. 

Obviously I had little else going on today.

She says in this post that Jill doesn’t judge anyone else for wearing pants or dressing differently than they (the Rods) do, that it’s just their personal conviction for their family 🙄

She doesn't know Jill very well, does she?

[Temperance]

Just because they didn't announce it doesn't mean the relationship wasn't sanctioned by his parents. Nurie and Nathan were courting or precourting for a couple of months before Jill announced it. Here are some excerpts from the Duggar Data post:

"On April 23, 2019, Nurie Rodrigues did a Happy Birthday IG Post for her fiancé, Nathan Keller.  In the Post, Nurie said: “It has been exactly a year ago, today, that we stated our relationship.  ...

Duggar Data goes on to say that Nurie and Nathan probably started courting in June when Jill started talking about a new announcement. Jill announced July 2 that Nurie was courting, but had started her relationship April 23. She used the Rods Instagram as the source. 

It's possible that the girl's parents didn't want Tim as a son-in-law. Fundie males are supposed to support the women and children. The Rod boys aren't the only guys with this problem. The Bates boys, the Bowers boys and other fundie males have this problem. Tim needs to find a girl whose family will employ him.

Except for judging the hell out of all the sluttishly dresses not Ladies out there . 

[BradandJanet]

While I feel a sorry for Tim if he had a failed courtship on top of his other disappointments, I'm very happy for any young woman who escapes the rodrigues family hell. 

[sondraK]

Tim would be perfect in a family like the Duggars,where daddy Jb supports them all.I don't think he can land Jana,though,and the other girls are still too young.And I imagine they know Jill is irritating as heck.

I can't imagine Jill as a mil.She would be insanely jealous of her dil and would constantly try to compete with her.Jmo

Except for the part where Jill commended Nurie for calling women wearing pants 'sluttish'.  No judgement there.

[YupItsMe]

Nurie  looks truly happy.

I don’t think it’s a coincidence that “Janessa” got a new nursery when she’s big enough to move out of a crib.

[Sew Sumi]

The Redditor posted another pic of Timbits and the mystery girl. Her arm is around his waist. 

The plot thickens...

It's like the fundie equivalent of an orgy. I can see Jill being a real psycho bitch about so many aspects of this. 

[Sew Sumi]

Here ya go. Not sure why it wasn't showing up in my downloads right after I downloaded it. 😕

[Nysha]

I think it's a work function. The person next to the girl is very close and it looks like she has her arm around his/her waist as well.

However, I could see Jill flipping her wig over these pictures and demanding Timothy come home due to the corrupting work environment. I don't think fundy men are allowed to touch hips with women. 

[Rabbittron]

I wonder how much of the gifts that Nurie got Jilly commandeered?

[Rabbittron]

Nuries first courtship was with a guy named Jedediah. Until Jilly put her 2 cents in and told her that she was too good for him. She told her to aim high and get a Duggar, Bates or a Keller boy.

That's easy.  All of them. I'm sure Jill set up Nurie's registry, filling it with stuff JRod wanted and, then, after the shower, Jill 'allowed' Nurie to present her with all the loot and Nurie will get the old, used equivalent from Jill.

No matter what the relationship, I could see Jill blowing her top over this sort of immoral behavior and demanding Timbits return home immediately from that well known den of sin and iniquity, Wisconsin.

It is hard to imagine anyone being 'too good' for the Rodriguii.  I presume that purple gum guy wasn't deferential enough to Jill, didn't praise her and bring her gifts, too.  That would be the kiss of death.

As bad is it must be to be Jill's child, her future sons and daughters in law are also going to suffer greatly.

[GeeGolly]

I just assumed Purple Gum Guy hightailed it out of there, once he better knew the family.

[ginger90]

If Timothy is courting, I don’t think it would be announced prior to Nurie’s wedding. Perhaps at it, but not before.

[BradandJanet]

Those pictures of Tim look like parties at work. I can't tell if it's the same girl next to him in both photos. He looks so "normal" and happy in the pictures. No wonder Jill had to put a stop to it. He needs to be miserable at home under momma, not happy in the world with people his own age.
