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

[emma675]

Good lord, I almost barfed trying to read Jill's Mr. Keller suck up fest. And I wonder how many of those tracts end up on the ground or in the trash 5 seconds after Mr. Keller gives them out?

Are Nathan and Nurie now legally required to clutch hands whenever they are together?

[Mojitogirl]

I think the hand clutching shows how starved for affection these kids are. 

[DangerousMinds]

Why is Jill even calling him “Mr Keller?” He doesn’t have a first name?

[Sew Sumi]

Maybe it is an age thing? Pa Keller is 20 years older than Jillybean. 

[beagletime]

My advice to Nathan and the  Kellers, run!  Lock the doors and turn off the lights.  Pretend you aren't home. Unless the Kellers plan to support Nurie's whole family, get out now.  This is only the start.  Before they know it the new in-laws will be living in their yard.

They already are! 😮

His name is Michael and he often goes by Mike. Oldest Duggar grandson is named Michael after him. 

[kokapetl]

Pa Keller should insist that Jill accompany him to the prisons he visits. She might get some colourful feedback on her makeup. 

[awaken]

My goodness, are these unattractive people!

I don't play the name game often, but when Smuganna announced the boy, I knew it would be Michael James. That pick was easy money.

So the Kellers aren’t just *letting* Nathan marry Nurie, they seem to be actively working (and spending!) to make the match happen. I’ve been thinking about why they are planning to willingly and seemingly happily hitch their wagon to the Rodrigues circus of crazy and the only thing that makes sense is that they’re desperate to get Nathan married off and don’t think he could find a better match. But why? His family is poor and he’s butt ugly, but the Kellers are fundie royalty, which I would think would count for something. They have already lost three children to lives outside the cult, so maybe they’re concerned that if they marry him to anyone more “liberal” (like a girl who went to college or wears pants) he might follow suit. The Rodrigueses have a lot of flaws, but they’re certainly indoctrinated enough for the Kellers to not worry that Nurie will lead Nathan down the fundie-light path. Or maybe Nathan isn’t into girls or sex and the Kellers realize that Nurie is unlikely to complain about that as long as he knocks her up once in a while and she doesn’t have to go home to Jill and the room of 1000 bunk beds. It’s a puzzler.

New picture up. Jill is kissing up so hard. She is thirstier than Jeremy. And you can leave comments.
 

Keller-Duggar family. So very blessed to have sat in the same spot as Josh Duggar!!! WTH???!!! You are blessed to be adjacent to a child molester? Keller’s paid for the meal. Yay. Rods are low life disgusting grifters.

Have you seen his face? His 23 year old face? That guy has won the lottery with Nurie. This is a man who occasionally wears identical outfits with his non twin brother.

The Maxwells, or Steve, at least, also claimed that Mama Terry Maxwell’s depression was caused by her addiction to Diet Pepsi.  I don’t believe we ever heard that she got therapy or medication for it and there was never a mention of how having umpteen kids and a seriously stunted life controlled by her husband might’ve exacerbated things.

To be fair to Stevehovah, this isn't true. They decided Pepsi (regular, actually, not diet, my guilty pleasure as well) was coming between Terri and Jesus, and that she needed to sacrificially give it up. They didn't in any way at all connect it to her depression. They even went so far as to admit that it was worse after she gave birth and that they knew hormones were out of whack, but still didn't want to interfere with God's plan by using medication. I'm linking both blogs below:

I’m wondering if the laser surgery isn’t connected to a breast tumor but instead to a met, like a brain tumor.

She may have already had breast surgery and not want everyone up in her business.

Yet she continues to put all kinds of personal medical out there for complete strangers?

[Ljohnson1987]

Jill is beyond thirsty. She posted that the Keller's took her to the place where Josh and Anna got engaged. And how special it was.  She not only sold Nurie to the highest bidder, but to a family with reality tv connections. If this isn't a set up, I don't know what is.

Yes, Jill, we all noticed the religious literature in Mr. Keller's hand.  I'm sure their server wasn't happy to see it though.

[galaxychaser]

The religious tract was probably the tip. 

#hrblock #taxrefund #thanks Keller’s should have bought themselves new identities and run away.

"I want to enter witness protection."

"Are you testifying against a mob boss?"

'No, my son is marrying into the Rodrigues family."

"May God have mercy on your soul."

[BradandJanet]

Terry Maxwell became involved in a bondage affair with Pepsi Cola? Interesting. Maybe Stevie is even duller than we thought. 

Wait until married Nurie drinks her first full can of Pepsi. It will be all downhill from there.

I now have a mental image of them singing the first line of Lana Del Rey's song "Cola" as part of their Pepsi-induced rebellion, and that is not a mental image that will go away anytime soon. . . .

Please don't pitch a show idea for "Conservative Evangelical Swap."

They'd all volunteer because they want to be breakout stars. 

Note: Not 'Fundie Swap." Jer's not a fundie.

She looks to me like she's lost weight since they got engaged.  I hate to think of someone her size trying to slim for the wedding.  I hope she isn't trying to get into that wedding dress Jill bought for her years ago.

Laughing out loud on these pics:

It's clear she didn't even realize they spelled the surname wrong because she posted the first pic and then the SECOND one is a close up of the name. (By the way, this wasn't some enormous sign outside -- it was on the monitor inside (what looks to be) the conference room in this church. And get a load of all those engaged hostages churchgoers who attended. Average age: one step in the grave.

The jacket on the guy in the last picture is a thing to behold for sure.

Jeremy lives in someone’s house he is a freeloader like Rods. He just dresses up better.

Holy crap, I've seen drag queens who wore less makeup than Jill. That was terrifying.

Yes, that's very true! At least Cousin Eddie (as far as we know) owned his own RV! 🤣

I could see him dying of shame on the spot, though, if they pulled up.

Didn’t Smuggar park his RV in the Vuolos’ driveway when the family did that made for TV trip to LA? I bet Jer wasn’t thrilled to bits about that. No way he would have anything to do with the Rods.

I think you might be right!

That's a real Sophie's Choice game of would you rather. Would you rather have Josh or Jill Rod pull up in your driveway with an RV and plans to stay for a month?

The attendees are older, but they look to me to be in their late fifties and sixties. 

The one guy is on his phone. 

[crazy8s]

the pics are a riot -

I was sure someone else would have pointed out already the guy in the loud coat is standing behind a podium thing made out of a wheeled suitcase, a storage tote top and a tv tray with piece of fabric draped over it.

now that's classy 😂

 

 

[BradandJanet]

I'm the age of some of those people in the audience, and I'd walk out of that shit in three seconds. If the bus won't take me back to the senior center, I'll call an Uber.

LOL. That's what is (was) known as a "Smoking Jacket".

I thought is was the resuscitated corpse of Hugh Hefner.

On a happy note, the tables looked clean and nicely decorated, so there was a pay-off for the hostages.

[galaxychaser]

Jeremy would have a stroke if he had to socialize with the Rods. I’m sure he feels superior to them in every way.
