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

[ginger90]

We go to Joy Baptist Church and we can say, it fits the name.  Our Family has so much JOY and peace at this church.  A church that FULLY embraces truth and grace.  A place we can actively serve and use our talents.  A place where the youth is spiritually focused.  A place where there is hospitality.  A place where there is balance.  A place that loves.  A place where we have fun.  A place that stands strong in the face of a world that begs for compromise.  A place that does not show favoritism towards status or position.  A place that is humble. A place that is thankful.  We are blessed indeed and our hearts are filled with JOY!  😁

Where do YOU go to church and what do you love and appreciate about them?  😊❤

Those masculine feats of strength are hilarious in selling how godly Joy Baptist is. 😂

FREE food is why Jilldo loves the church 🙄

[iwantcookies]

Who dyes HUNKs hair?

I did not see any pics of Jon. Maybe he told her not to take/ post his pictures? 

Jill would make not!Nurie break up with him if he dared to tell her anything she doesn't approve off.

Remember when another congregant asked Jill to drive her to the hospital (or pick up from?) and Jill mentioned that the person wasn’t even someone important in the church? So much for Jill not caring about status and position. And the other members of the church may be humble, but Jill certainly is not.

Maybe it’s because I’m an ignorant Methodist, but I’m struggling to understand what arm wrestling has to do with church?

[Zella]

The wrestling looks like some sort of kinky mating ritual between them. LMAO

[ginger90]

I have never seen anyone arm wrestle  like that.

[ozziemom]

The Rod men seem to always arm wrestle as a manly man activity. Especially when a new guy like Jon comes around. Very creepy.

[Temperance]

The Caldwells were visiting the Bontragers and their friends. They posted a picture on Instagram.

[GeeGolly]

The constant competition among men is ridiculous. They can't even get in canoes without someone needing to out-something somehow.

[emmawoodhouse]

Timbits was in an accident just before Thanksgiving. He apparently fell asleep at the wheel at 7:30 am, crossed the center line, hit a trailer, then wound up in a fence. This is his 3rd moving violation during covid. 

 

[GeeGolly]

Does Tim work the overnight shift? Does anyone know if going south on 83 is going toward the Barndo?

[awaken]

He could easily have died or killed someone else. Interesting that they haven’t shouted from the rooftops how god saved him miraculously. 

[TrixieTrue]

Seeing the older unmarried daughters without heavy make-up and their hair pulled back...they look so much better. 

[Gweilo]

I thought that too! The girl in the Green and White striped top (Renee?) looks really lovely in that candid shot.

Jesus couldn't take the wheel because he was otherwise occupied (maybe attending a sportsgame)  and Tinkerbell refused to help out because her back is still not right after carrying Timmy over  water during the summer .

Will The Airing of Grievances also be documented for us? We already know what grievances Jill has against us horrible ungodly people.

Depending on where he was coming from, yes.

Or tried to grift a new car for him, like they did for Nurie and Kaylee.

[65mickey]

Third moving violation during Covid and this happened at 7:30 am?  Maybe he works the 11-7 shift somewhere. I am surprised that he can afford even the basic insurance if all of these accidents are his fault. Has Jill been begging for a car for this kid so that he can continue to do the Lord's work whatever that is?

Thank you!

[ozziemom]

Maybe Timbits was so tired from the frenetic pace JillR needed so the Barndo renovation was done for her Thanksgiving festivities. He was probably working full time at a job plus full time construction. JillR never posted anything about poor Tim because perhaps she knew everyone would be critical oh her.

I have, in "Seven Brides for Seven Brothers".  During the Barn Dance.

[ozziemom]

Well I know y’all have been waiting to hear about JillR’s knee. Finally had her MRI and there were FOUR things so no wonder she’s been in such pain. Somehow she has to mention SEVERLY  quadriplegic Amy too. She is too much.

But dancing is not godly so this arm wrestling must be different.

[laurakaye]

It sounds like Timbits wasn't injured, or Jill would have gruesome ER pictures up by now.

[iwantcookies]

Bwahaha all lies! I don’t believe her one bit. 

These were the pics with the post.

Drink some plexus that will cure you right Jill?

[Jeeves]

Oh, Jill. She has FOUR SEVERE things wrong but she has to crow that she's not as bad off as her quadriplegic sister. Because I'm sure that comment will just brighten the hell out of Amy's day.

Jill's such a monster.

Seems like her actual 4 injuries are common and I think if I went for an MRI on my knee right now, I would probably have similar tears, lol. She is so hungry for attention of any sort it’s pitiful. Now that Nurie is gone back to Florida JillR needs to occupy herself with her pain. She seemed to be getting around just fine up to now.

[GeeGolly]

Anyone else hear the joy in JillR's post? Inside she's saying yay, I have something really wrong. I'll get attention for days and I'll only have to lie a little bit. Yay!

[libgirl2]

Good God! These people are weird!

Maybe Joshley D gave him a tutorial on how to watch porn while driving.

Or he passed out from malnutrition.

[emmawoodhouse]

I can't believe she compared herself to Amy. 

Well, actually I can. What a bitch.

[laurakaye]

Her knee may never be the same and she may be inhibited from being as physically active with her kids as she usually is?

I just imagined the lives of those kids getting exponentially worse as Jill bellows from her recliner, surrounded by several fluffy pillows, wearing a pretty brand-new dressing gown worthy of the 'Gram, that "Mommy's water needs more ice!  Mommy needs her hair brushed!  Mommy dropped her phone and can't reach it!  Mommy needs help in the potty!  Mommy needs a ham and cheese sandwich, crusts cut off, light mustard, extra mayo, pickles on the side, potato chips and a grape popsicle nowwwwwwwwwwww!!!"

She's going to milk this knee thing for months, if not forever.

I agree that Jill will milk it. I also wouldn't want to be her surgeon. If she's not happy with the results, she may end up angry and full of blame, similar to the anger & blame (and probably non-payment) she held towards TimBit's college.

Don’t forget her beloved precious hunk who sits next to her in his throne bellowing his demands 24/7. No way hunk does anything for himself.

[BradandJanet]

It's too bad there is only one "youth" at Joy Baptist Church. At least that kid is "spiritually focused."

Who's covering the liability since Tim caused the accident and apparently damaged the other car and the fence? Jill should be praying he doesn't get sued, not that it would be worth it. 

Jill has four "things" in her knee, and she tore them all! However, she didn't exactly rush to see a doctor so not to interrupt her vacation. Amy must have the patience of a saint to put up with Jill. You just know the minute she saw the report, Jill called Amy to cry and carry on about her SEVERE injury.  

So many Rodriguii, so little time.

She may sing a different tune when the bill arrives. My husband had an MRI on his knee done last month and we owe about $700 after insurance.

She won’t owe anything because I am 99% sure she has Medicaid, courtesy of the taxpayers (and that’s fine). She’s the one who puts down other “takers,” it’s only ok when it’s her family receiving help. 
Guess what Jill? I found out a few months ago that I have osteoarthritis in both of my feet (amongst other foot issues). Yes, it’s sucks that I can’t do everything I did in my youth. You know what I didn’t do? Announce it on SM.

Good question. I’m sure he has only the minimum in auto insurance coverage.

There is no public assistance that I am aware of for insurance and this case. Maybe it will be "Go Fund Me" time?

Mr. Turquoise tore his meniscus the Sunday before Thanksgiving. We saw a doctor that same day. No knee brace, he has been using a cane, and we slept in the living room a few nights because all the bedrooms are upstairs. No trips to Florida, no constant updates on SM. And yet he is healing...not as fast as he'd like, but still healing.

I want to know who ordered the MRI. Why did it take so long to have it done? The MRI showed this awful injury, not like other people, 4, that’s right 4. And it’s between surgery and physical therapy as the answer. As told by? 
I wonder how long before she sees this specialist.

Well, she better go soon because it's almost time to go a' grifting in Florida.

Much as I loathe Jill and her antics, I'm not sure that the length of time it took to get the MRI is necessarily fishy. It seems these days that scheduling medical appointments can be a real crapshoot. The other day I was talking about this with friends. We agreed that lately, medical appointments are often: "we have an opening this afternoon, and the next one is eight weeks from now."

That is so true.

Whatever damage Tim caused to the other vehicles will be covered by his liability policy. I am pretty sure this coverage is required by law in all states if you drive a car. If he doesn't have collision coverage the damage to his vehicle will not be covered.
