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

[Westiepeach]

Which “bud” is the one that isn’t half bad looking? He looks the most normal of the males, and he does not have the “family” ears? I’m too lazy to look it up.

[graefin]

Tiffy looks like a twig and Mimi must be sucking all the life out of Poppy, because he's looks more Grim Reaperish than usual.

Lydia could do much better than a Rod boy; I'd hope she'd have the sense to aim higher.

[Minivanessa]

I think the Bateses are in Italy on a trip organized and subsidized by the Tv show production company. With a crew that’s shooting footage for the show. So they haven’t had to figure out the COVID related travel requirements for themselves. (ETA: I think they are there on the show's dime because I can't imagine that's a trip they would think of for themselves, much less organize and pay for.)

It is quarantine or vaccination/recovery AND test as far as I can tell.  Their website says:

Even if they were vaccinated I'm not sure they would know how to get the official EU documentation so they probably opted for the quarantine.  Though 5 days of not being able to leave your hotel room for a "normal" newly married couple wouldn't be a total hardship as long as they planned a long enough visit that they could still be tourists prior to leaving.  Would totally blow if you didn't really know your new spouse ahead of time and are trapped in a tiny hotel room with someone you find you actually don't like all that much. 

Its not the newlywed couple who are in Italy. Its Lawson and Tiffany - they aren't even engaged.

Lawson, Tiff, Gill and Kelly are dining somewhere at a restaurant, so they're not self-isolating.

Has anyone ever asked Jill if David uses the Plexus “slim” drink and why it doesn’t work for him? 🤣

It's not working for Jill either, or she wouldn't be photoshopping her torso to look thinner.

@Picture It. Sicily , Poor Janessa. From what I've heard, Plexus does not taste good. Eating the stuff must be an act of desperation.

In Bates family news, Gil and KJ are in Italy with Lawson, Tiff and her parents. Guessing a proposal is coming soon.

I agree! Lawson will be off the market ladies! Bwahaha.

[libgirl2]

I was just thinking.... lets say that one of the Rod girls had snagged Lawson. How would Jill feel about her daughter wearing pants? Or clothes that don't fall under her definition of modesty? Would the fact that it is LAWSON BATES, wipe away all the crap she preaches about? And how would she feel about normal eyebrows? 

And I honestly don't see a guy like him going for one of the Rod girls.

Ah, Sammers. Somehow I thought he was older. Although I would much rather see him "courting" a Platt rather than TimBits.

Won't matter anyway. BME won't let release ownership of any of her boys.

oh I think she would if it meant she might be related to a TV show family

Good point. Didn't think of that angle. Silly me. She might even consider selling The Hunk if it meant a TV show.

Edited October 25, 2021 by Westiepeach

Jill would sell one of her kids if it would get her on TV (not on the evening news, however).

It looks like HUNK got photoshopped/lost half his body weight

Jill would be all over Lawson like Jeremy on a cheeseburger.  Like Hilaria on Jase.  Like a mustard cardigan on a Duggar girl.  It would be hilariously awful and I would be here for it.

[crazy8s]

what if the supposed love interest of lydia is Robbie Spivey??? just a crazy thought because not sure how they would ever have met. but just the idea of fame hungry Hilaria connecting to another TV family makes me laugh

They're not in quarantine. They've been pictured at the Coliseum as well as assorted outdoor cafes. The parents are there as well, so an engagement is imminent.

New item for the Fundie Premarital Questionnaire: How do you feel about eyebrows? Plucked? Natural? Uni (either gender; wrong answer gets you booted to the curb)? Drawn on like a (a) caterpillar or (b) sperm/polliwog? Explain your answer using Scripture to support your views.

The Bates must be needing rating. An engagement in Italy and more babies won't do it.

i was just coming here to comment on that jilly post - you would think with the difficult healing process for nurie, and newly born nemo, they would have been better off at home rather than treating meme and poppi to a boat tour. singing in church and girlie date at a coffee shop.....

[iwantcookies]

There is our lying patient Jilly bean. I’m definitely laughing my hiney off. Why are they going on the cruise? Oh right Nathan paid.

[riverblue22]

I think all TV shows require vaccinations for cast and crew.  Erin got very sick from Covid and didn't Kelly's stepfather pass away? I'd bet they all got quietly vaccinated.

[Nysha]

I cannot fathom taking a newborn on a boat cruise in Florida. *Sigh* This won't be the last time little Nemo is dragged along to make sure BME/MeMe! knows how much Nurie loves/adores/worships her.

i would think possibly lawson also needed to be vaccinated before god bothering work with mediccorp$ in Haiti.

another note on mediccorp$ - is this new wording? because they mostly seem to move supplies and clear trees.

DEPLOYING TEAMS OF CROSS-TRAINED RESCUERS TO BOTH FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC MASS CASUALTY SITUATIONS

[CalicoKitty]

At first glance ,  Nurie looks very deformed--like hunchback--in that photo.  Once I zoomed in I could see that she was a normal shape.  What better way for BME to get attention than being pushed in a wheelchair.  Maybe she will get an electric scooter because of her SEVERELY damaged knee.  Poor little baby.  I hope he can stay healthy.  He needs to be cuddled up in his own bed instead of being a showpiece.

[galaxygirl76]

Might as well get that baby used to super spreader events/hangouts as soon as possible.

 

eta, my husband has a (severe)tear in his meniscus and is still working 40 hour weeks on his feet. We know he tore it because, unlike someone else we know, he went to a doctor and will be seeing a specialist next week.

Jill: I was bored, so I decided Nurie and Nathan should treat us all to a cruise. I suggested we ask for wheelchairs since she and I both "injured." Nurie hesitated, but I decided for her. I took wonderful pictures. Nurie and Nathan took us out for lunch too!

Jill writes her own snark. She's going to put us out of business if she keeps this up.

Nurie and Nathan should be at home getting to know their little one. FFS, the woman just gave birth! She doesn't need to be entertaining her moronic mother! 

And thank you for reminding everyone that Nurie's vagina needs to recover ! So let it. Let her rest not entertain you, you stupid woman!

God, I dont like Michelle Duggar but even she had more common sense than this moron.

Why on earth did Nurie and her vagina need a wheel chair? Did they go on the cruise the next day? I'm sorry, if your vagina is too sore for you to walk, then you need to stay home and let it heal.

I don’t think Jill would let Nurie stay home. Jill is a puppet master and Nurie is her puppet.

I'm sure she was fine at first but us normal people get to be home healing and bonding with the newborn while Nurie had severely injured MeMe around for forever. Knowing MeMe, she needed a lot of help getting around and needed to be waited on because of, you know, her severe injury. 

[MargeGunderson]

I’m confused - how much walking does one do on a scenic cruise, exactly?

[xwordfanatik]

Is every day just a photo op for this selfish, narcissistic creature?  She uses her children and so many others as pawns for her own warped self.  What a tragic life for those kids, and now grandkids.  Tragic.

i was thinking on this today - like what would jilly be like as a grandparent. nemo will always just be MeMe's first grandchild.

we currently have the not quite 3yr old staying with us this week and the child is totally into pretending she is a cat and will only meow most of the time, until she forgets to be a cat and starts talking again, to get a snack or a show or play a game, then back to cat mode. We have been humoring her because it is ridiculously funny and it will pass. But I just can't see any of the fundie type grandparents, especially jilly, enjoying such a goofy thing with any grandchild.

Jill will pose Nemo with Plexus by the time he is 3. Or Nemo will be doing commercials with MeMe for plexus. Jill got a new puppet/prop.

How these people havent gotten covid yet is beyond me, ofc who knows, maybe they have and never even realized it. That baby shouldn't even be out in crowds or around strangers nonstop whether covid is around or not. Being that she has been a mother 13 times, you would think she has some common sense. Who the hell am I kidding, this is JillRod. Fuck you JillRod!

I am also confused by this.  According to Jill, Nurie had the perfect delivery with minimal pain and zero complications.   And now, Nurie needs a wheelchair because she just gave birth?

[BradandJanet]

Isn't St. Austine/Augustine the city where Jill let her kids trespass and climb the walls of the historic fort? Now she's demanding wheelchair service on a boat trip there. She's like a bad wind that blows in and inflicts as much damage as possible.

 

[Zella]

I will probably go to hell for how hard I laughed at Jill's wheelchair post. I also might need to go to the hospital for the simultaneous wheeze/snort/sigh/chuckle that involuntarily came out of my mouth when I first laid eyes upon it. 

[GeeGolly]

I hope to God JillR didn't send the pic to Amy in some type of "us too" moment.
