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

[Tasya]

Those kids are playing on communal games with no shoes on and the area looks filthy. She's such an idiot.

What on earth do they need a vacation from?

Printing and mailing 50,000 tracts and that’s pretty much it

I think they may be at an RV park/campground. Many have facilities like that.

Jill seems to like KOA campgrounds which usually have a gameroom facility for kids.  Except for the KOA they got tossed out of out west after they repeatedly went into the swimming pool fully clothed because God thinks swim suits are sluttish but pool filters think regular clothing causes lint blockages.  They also seemingly violated KOA's rules about the number of people per campsite.  I think this was after they dropped Tim off at college and there were 14 of them in a single RV.  There's no way JRod was paying an additional fee for bringing a humongous number of people in an RV and, of course, she would expect that everyone else camping there wouldn't mind.  She also turned her kids loose in the campground store despite rules against unaccompanied minors while she and Dave and Janessa hung out in the RV and was absolutely livid when the employees told the kids to leave.

So, yeah, Jill's the outdoorsy, woodsy type.

seems the mob of kids also got asked to leave a game room at a KOA several years back,

I don;t think they are vacation camping, this was a stopover on a grifting trip. destination unknown

They're all grifting trips, they don't take 'real' vacations; except when Chubby whisks Jill away to a resort for a weekend without the kids.  Even when they all had to accompany Tim to Washington state to go to Moody; they had a bunch of appearances lined up to sing and preach at various churches all along the route.  There were tons of photos of them eating in the parish hall or stopping at the Hometown Buffet with the godly Pastors who hosted their visits.  No doubt, they passed the hat around, begging for donations at each stop.

This trip is supposed to be to New York state for a similar appearance at a church.  It is kinda cold up here right now, 60's during the day and 50's at night and we've had some rain, too, which makes the lack of shoes on the kids seem particularly dumb.

But.......but......where is the husband? Is this a slutty single mom out and about with her illegitimate children? Oh the horrors! I am SEVERELY traumatized by seeing this picture of this non-traditional family.

Nice picture of Nurie.  She looks a lot better with less makeup.  Mama's eating her heart out over that car.

Her mother's selfie?  Shudder.  Such sluttish makeup.  Yeah, where's papa on this lovely walk?  Back at camp feeding his face?

I think it is sweet he got her flowers. He seems to really love her and treat her nice.

I am sure Jill is upset because Nathan didn't send her flowers for being the most wonderful Mama in law ever.

I'm thinking he should have. Jill lost Nurie 2 months ago. 😁

[GeeGolly]

I'm guessing a boy, 6/16/21. Abishalom Nathan Keller. Born in the front seat of their white Toyota.

[DangerousMinds]

Does she realize she’s wearing a Victoria’s Secret sweater? (Blouse? 🤣). How sluttish!

The Bontragers held their annual family. It was well-attended with little to no social distancing. And some of the Duggars made the pictures. 
Bontrager Family Camp

 

This camp would be my nightmare in so many ways but I can see why the tweens and teens would love it. The kids seem to have some semblance of freedom to socialize and there was a good number of them there. I wonder how many marriages have come out of these family camps.

Jill,Nathan works,that's why they were able to buy,instead of grift their car,like you did 😛

I feel sorry for those kids they are clearly scared of her. 

[Genevrier]

Aw, Nurie sent pictures from the afterlife! That must be so comforting to poor Jill. 

[emmawoodhouse]

Nurie cut her bangs. I was so hoping that she'd grow them out once she died...err...got out from under Mama's clutches.

[BradandJanet]

Ha, ha. Nurie and Nathan are doing better than Jill in the way that Jill admires most--material possessions. It must be driving Jill crazy that Nurie is living a dream right now. I hope the couple waits to have kids and enjoys their new life together. 

Love Jill's ironic choice of a Victoria's Secret Pink tee. It's a favorite of purple-haired, hell-destined teen moms across the US. /s 

The poor Rod kids are disturbing with their forced robo-smiles whenever Witch Mama pulls out her camera and calls for attention. Jill's voice is absolutely frightening. 

[Guest]

What are the "beauties" of which she speaks in that last pic? Her teeth? Because that seems to be the main subject matter -- not her children who appear as blurry, ghostly apparitions looming in the background.

She always, always has to be the center of attention. I am also assuming that she forbade Nurie to have her own social media presence because it would be one less thing for her to collect clicks about.

I also love how she HAD to mention the car was purchased "debt free." How Dugger-ly of her to use that phrase. 

[emmawoodhouse]

I guess that will be Nurie's car? 

[charmed1]

Can Nurie speak to her siblings herself, or does all communication have to be filtered through Jill?

Do you have to ask? 😣

So, it appears that the Rods ended up in Vermont. On Tuesday night, they entertained a church with squalling and David's "preaching." David added that they had spent $30k on the remodel of the barndo, $17k of which was donated. They are now "praying" for the funds to build a dedicated living room. 

I wonder how generous the handouts were that night?

That is really low for the amount of work he supposedly did.  Building materials are not cheap, I wonder how many corners he cut in the process.  

The fact that the grifted the money doesn't surprise me.  

[emmawoodhouse]

I can't get over him basically asking for the money to build an addition. Expected from these people, but still gauche.

that people keep giving them money, sides of beef, paying for the silly women's conference astounds me

Astounds me too. I guess this explains how they've had the money to marry and mourn Nurie.

I wonder if there's more space in the shop for the living room. That tiny laundry/piano/living/boiler room doesn't feel very big.

No, they're maxed out. Shrek was  talking about building a new addition.

O. M. G.  They truly don’t have one iota of shame.

Okay, I hope someone volunteers to watch the damn thing and let us know the good parts.  I would volunteer, but I'm in the middle of, uh... something very important!

 

[Nysha]

I'm getting a headache just thinking about watching a two hour fundy wedding video. I'm pretty sure I don't have enough alcohol in the house to actually watch it.

[LavendarRose]

So the N&N Wedding is finally being uploaded for public consumption.  I would be the the Barndo that Jill has been hawking it around everywhere to find a buyer, sponsors, some/any sort money for the most Fundy of modest Fundy weddings.  When she couldn’t get (con) any takers, she had to get it out there before any baby announcement would make it old news, or another Fundy wedding overshadowed it.  I imagine she will spin it so that “love offerings” can still be made even so long after the event due to the financial stress putting on such a Jesus honouring wedding had on them.  She will find a way to try to get some money some how.

From a pure voyeuristic point of view I would love to see the whole shebang and have a party for myself while doing so (wine, nibbles, cakes etc).  But I would have to watch it on at least time and and a half speed, or double time  to get through it.  (I do this for work meetings I can’t attend and have been recorded on WebEx.  1.5 speed is best as I can still understand what is being said.  I do slow it back to normal for the really important stuff).  Don’t  know if this can be done on YouTube though.  Make just have to skip ahead and get some highlights.

[GeeGolly]

Scheduled to go public? Who besides a Kardashian says that? 

At first glance, the picture of N2 kissing looked awkward. At first I chalked it up to newbies. But at the risk of sounding like a JillR, Nurie seems to be taking the masculine role in that kiss.

[GeeGolly]

I'm not sure if this is allowed, Mods please remove if necessary. 

I wonder if JillR will take covid more seriously in light of the current news.

[Madtown]

Whew, I thought she was announcing that Nurie was with child. I can almost handle the 2 hour wedding over 9 months of Jill yapping about being a grandma.
