Is Kaylee allowed to get closer to him? She looks like she's scared of him

She might want to get closer, but I'm sure she's always on guard since Best Mama Ever is now up her ass all the time, walking on pins and needles. Jill has bragged about how they torment Kaylee. She's probably scared Jill will completely embarrass her in front of Jonathan.

I get the impression that Jill is majorly crushing on Jonathan.

Of course she is. He is a pretty nice looking guy.

Hilaria 2.0 🤣

my mind is a bit boggled as to what all that janky pvc pipe is for in the background.

also I note the amish built living room (for family) must be about ready since there seems to be a lot of furniture wrapped in plastic.

[BigBingerBro]

Are they rehearsing in the new addition?  It looks pretty rough

they are in the print shop/laundry/living area/beauty salon space

I get claustrophobic just looking at that dusty space crammed to within an inch of its life with furniture, tchotchkes, wall hangings, musical instruments, and other assorted random crap.  You must have to possess the skills of a ballerina to get from one part to the other without sending Jill's Willow Tree figurines toppling like dominoes.

Good thing her kids are resembling skeletons 😞. No way they will topple anything over.

He looks scared too. Classic guard the crotch pose.

Is that a TV screen visible between the two girls?

I wish Kaylee luck and distance.

yes on the TV - they have the big tv in the print shop space and another in the love nest. Jill has shown both tvs in her pics many times.

Yep. David likes football with his bags of Cheetos and pitchers of hummingbird sugar water.

Jill definitely needs the lord so Dave the hunk doesn’t crush her during sexy times.

This made me laugh too hard and for too long.  How can 1 space fulfill so many needs???

I watched the video of their practice session, and Jonathan kept his hands clasped the entire time.  It was awkward.  They all looked so uncomfortable.  And when the song was done, Jilldo panned around with the camera and each of the kids looked at her nervously like "now what?"  There was no joy in that room.

Jon is the new seal to train. Poor guy needs to run far away.

Did you notice when the video ended that the camera was focused on Renee?  She’s up for grabs now that Kaylee is spoken for.  Speaking of, WTF is Jill thinking by drooling all over social media about Kaylee’s new Beau?  What if it doesn’t work out?  I mean, does “courting” actually mean “engaged” to these flaky fundies?  I would’ve DIED if my mother had acted like Jill when I had boyfriends!  What will Jill do on SM, if Jonathan and Kaylee split up?

Now that Jill is splashing this relationship all over SM, Jonathan’s parents may advise him to steer clear of the Rods.  If I were his mother, I certainly wouldn’t want my son to have that nut job as a mother-in-law.

They’re only allowed to touch when they get engaged. (I’m not sure that’s true but if so, it wouldn’t surprise me.)

All jill would do is look for the next sucker. Nurie had a gum suitor but they broke up.

I wonder how much of this Jonath?n can tolerate. Remember, they're only courting - not engaged. I hope, for Kaylee's sake, he doesn't run for the hills when he realizes what he's gotten himself into. 

Which, by the way, makes me wonder about Nathan. Does he put up with Jill because he truly loves his wife and is being a gentleman about the whole thing? Or does he too have a few screws loose?

IMO all Fundies have loose screws.

LOL, I thought "gum suitor" must mean his family owned Doublemint or something!  I didn't imagine it meant he gave her gum.  What a romantic!

Can you imagine a "grilling" from JRod and Shrek? 🤢

They do not formally announce The Courtship until it is a done deal. Nurie’s Gum Boy wasn’t “formally” announced. I think JHill is in for the long haul.

If he runs (please please please please) let him take his Not-Nurie with him, and not look back!

[Madtown]

Kaylee giving Jonathon a haircut and writing their courtship announcement a wall. There are more awkward pictures of them. There are also pictures of the younger ones going down a slide into a kiddie pool of soapy water.

Jill said to expect "picture overload" now that their relationship is public.

[MargeGunderson]

if Jill were capable of feeling shame, she absolutely should. Her slobbering over Jonathan is pathetic. Poor Kaylee - she’s not even the center of attention in her own courtship. I hope that Jonathan thinks Kaylee is the bee’s knees.

[ginger90]

How Duggarish!

From the hair cutting video, Jill said, ”All this stuff is for our living room, that’s why we have all this clutter here.”.

It's like they have their own parkour course.

[crazy8s]

didn't you all ever hope for a haircut in the midst of clutter ceiling fixtures in boxes and herbs in a container??

I am always interested in the background of best mama's pics. behind kaylee on the wall is further proof of illiteracy . it is supposed to be 1 timothy 6: 11-12 but someone apparently couldn't write even timothy very well.

 

11 But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness.

12 Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses.

Wow she is going to junk up that room in a matter of minutes. 

[Fosca]

That isn't a good haircut.  I mean, I use a clipper on my own hair and it looks better than that (probably because I don't clip it down to the skin).

[BradandJanet]

Jonathan apparently gets his jeans from the same place Big Daddy David does. Too long, too baggy, and too soon dirty. 

[xwordfanatik]

Those forced smiles are painful to look at.  They seem awkward around each other.

At least Jill admitted that it's clutter. I guess she thinks the more clutter the closer to God.

Jdog and Kaykay look like hostages with those smiles. Oh wait...

Yes. I think they’re just trying really hard not to touch each other. If they relax they might accidentally react normally to being so close together - eg: holding hands or something dirty like that… They look cute together, and happy, and I hope there’s just a ton of sexual attraction making them nervous.

I think that is what is going on too. Gee, they just want to be normal kids their age. I'm not saying he needs to take her right there on the floor, but hold hands and be close. They are both nice looking and I'm sure the hormones are saying "go for it!".

Is Kaylee even allowed to break up with Jonathoan if she wants to?  And I would think it would be a living nightmare if for some reason Jonathaon broke up with her - BME would no longer have a handsome new beau to flirt with and it would be all Kaylee's fault....the irony being that if he were to break it off with Kaylee, it would most certainly be because his future mother-in-law scared the absolute crap out of him.

Does Jonathan sing? Does he play the guitar or ring cowbells? Can he preach? Does he have a job he can leave at a moment's notice and be away from for a week or two? Can he afford to take Jill shopping in overpriced gift shops? Can he buy lunch for 15 people, repeatedly?

Does he know he will need to do these things? 

 

 

[iwantcookies]

Jill is a gift to us but a nightmare to her kids.
