    They are also supposed to all go out and save souls, but some really just do not want to do that.  So, they will give people like Jill and David money to do the missionary work.  The Christians who give the Rods money feel good about themselves giving money so Jill and her brood can do the lord's work.  

    This is why I suspect some if not all of these random people she claims to have brought to Jesus are made up. Jill has proven that she has no reservations about recording/photographing people without their permission, so why no photos of soul winning with “Zane,” “Cam,” or George Glass from the laundromat? The kids have no social media and although David’s name is on the accounts, Jill writes and controls all the posts. So there is no one to expose the lies she tells and her benefactors are none the wiser. If anything, the “fat” blue-haired women she derided are likely the ones who rejected her stupid pamphlets. Of course she claimed that it was one of her children who made that observation and not her.

    Agree. I run for the hills when I see proselytizers coming. I cringe to think of how I was trained to do that as a kid and how others felt about being accosted in train stations, malls, knocking on their doors, etc. 😞

    I remember an older woman chased me down in a grocery store parking lot. I stopped because I truly thought she was in distress and was bracing myself to help her in whatever way I could. When she caught up to me she asked me for the time and then tried handing me a Watchtower. I was so angry, I shouted at her, which I regretted later. I just feel like any belief system where you are knowingly deceiving or harassing people in order to proselytize to them needs a serious evaluation. There was a group of JWs who canvassed that block. I did feel very badly for the children who were forced to be out there and always made sure to smile and say good morning/afternoon to them. I ignored the adults who were with them though.

    I feel some for the children. They’re mostly likely in church almost every day. That must be an exhausting and helpless feeling. I never knew any white evangelicals growing up. I grew up attending African-American Baptist churches and I only had to go on Sundays. I did know plenty of Black and/or Latino kids raised in strict COGIC, Pentecostal, and Jehovah’s Witness households who had to go to church/kingdom hall every evening and weekend. Some of those kids went wild later in life. Some were already wild unbeknownst to their parents. I guess the major difference is that the kids I knew were allowed to go to school with us heathens, so they weren’t totally cut off from the world and their education like the Rodlets.
