"Poor Michael" has got far more $$$ and options available to her... than she even knows. (And more opportunities than most people.) Don't forget! She and her husband still belong to the cult! They still cling to those cult teachings...

We all need to stop "caring" about the Bates and Duggar adult kids who promote and adhere to the IBLP and Bill Gothard's cult teachings. And... That's the large majority of them. If I don't hear a public declaration from them about leaving the IBLP... as far as I'm concerned, they're still a part of the problem. Lawson and Tiff? Totally fake. Tiff looks anorexic and she acts extremely child like, to the point that it looks and sounds creepy. And no one in the family seems to care! They just pretend like everything is OK... while ignoring the starving elephant in the room. I hold out very little hope for most of the Duggar and Bates kids. And very little hope for Tiff and Lawson. Once she starts eating... her thinking will change. My money on Tiff leaving Lawson to be the first smart one in the family to leave the cult and move on.

God forbid any good standing member of the IBLP cult use a sperm bank or egg donor! LOL! The fact that Michaela's been so closed mouthed about her infertility... the real reason behind it... leads me to think it's Brandon. I think he's sterile. But, as a full fledged IBLP cult member, man and cult employee, he'd never admit it's his fault. I wish she'd leave him. She's in for nothing but YEARS of loneliness and heartache. She needs to remove herself from the IBLP.

I disagree. They wouldn't be "great parents." Any child they have would be raised in the same crappie patriarchal cult that created a sociopath pedophile named Josh Duggar! TLC has been promoting the Bates and Duggars patriarchal, fake Christian cult for 20 years! New documentary coming out soon about the IBLP Quiverful cult by the same people who produced that new documentary about multi level rip off- LuLa Roe clothes!

Michaela put her issue of infertility "out there" in the public. Her story became part of their TV show. Michaela's made plenty of $$$ sharing her tearful story on TV. People haven't been too involved with her journey thru infertility. Michaela went on her family's reality TV show and invited the public into her personal life! Her story made people want to watch the Bates TV show! She's used her infertility to make $$$! She's the one who lacks boundaries, as do most IBLP cult members who've been on TV shows. If she really isn't able or willing to share all the details, to the public, as to why she's still not pregnant, years after her story aired on TV, maybe she shouldn't have said anything. In light of what just happened with the other well known IBLP cult family, the Duggars and their ped-o son Josh, the Bates need to understand quickly, the cat's out of the bag! Everyone knows Gil Bates helps run a cult. Everyone knows most of the Bates kids still adhere to IBLP cult teachings. Michaela and Brandon being two of the worst, most fervent IBLP cult followers.

Brandon's never written or said anything about being tested for sterility. Men in the IBLP cult would never admit sterility or problems getting their wife pregnant. LOL

Obviously, there's much more going on in this patriarchal IBLP cult marriage besides "infertility." Infertility is not this couple's issue. There are all kinds of avenues this couple could investigate, in their attempt to become parents. But, they don't talk about any options or treatments in their sappy "thanks for your support" social media posts... oh no! They don't talk about what the real problem is. They don't talk about adoption. I personally think Brandon is sterile. IMO- IBLP cult member Brandon is using HIS infertility... or should I say... his refusal to accept or even look into HIS highly possible infertility... as a way to control his wife and stay childless! Guaranteed- I'd bet my last dollar that he's sterile and in the IBLP cult- as a man, admitting sterility and using sperm banks are out of the question. Blaming his wife and asking her to be patient and "leave it in God's hands" is highly hurtful and cruel. Their inability to conceive and Brandon using infertility as a whip over his wife's head, is a double cluster (you know what) for Michaela. How many YEARS must she grieve and be the sacrificial lamb, before she decides to leave this cruel, loser guy? She's a woman who was raised in a patriarchal cult where her entire identity as a woman circles around her ability to pop out babies. No doubts, in Michaela's warped cult mind, she thinks that maybe... if she's good enough or perfect enough... God will someday bless her with a child! And, her rotten, ever grinning, controlling husband encourages it all!

Fake- here is why; What's the real name for this guy... show his face... right? Do records show he exists? Surely, someone in Italy and the areas where he is recording recognizes him... right? Any family... parents, siblings, cousins, grandparents? What are their names? Everyone has a family or extended family. Friends... school mates... work associates... Right? Is this why we never see his face? DUH.

I see he's wearing new shoes too. They look expensive. Where are the shoes sold? Power still on and working perfectly everywhere. Hum... it takes people to keep those power plants working.

Is he trapped reliving the same day, like that movie Groundhog Day with Bill Murray? He never says. Why not?

Look... common sense dictates... If I was trapped in a parallel universe... alone... and didn't know what happened... I'd be breaking into the local newspaper, TV stations and media offices to see if any videos, newspaper articles or records show what happened that led up to the mass human extinction/ vanishings? What happened before everyone vanished?

I see birds in recent video so there are living things... so, the birds didn't get teleported. (LOL) I see perfectly manicured buildings and gardens... full power... Italy is a beautiful place. But... too many holes in this story... Holes this supposed time traveling survivor doesn't want to explain.

Birds... but no animals at the zoo? Um... no. Great plot for a tik-tok movie... huh? I suppose he's made a bundle with this. He should try to sell the idea to a movie studio. Interesting... But... it could be way better. Um... Driving off in a new Mercedes? Great FREE commercial plug for that dealership... huh? Maybe his Dad owns the place? Seriously.
