Does she mislabel her before and after? Because her befores are always better than the result.

We have talked about Jonathan looking tired. This "adorable" picture posted by Kaylee might explain one reason he looks tired.

Why the heck is he sleeping fully dressed on the barndo couch at 2:15 am, and why is Kaylee awake taking pictures of them???

Go home Jonathan and Kaylee it is only 4 1/2 miles away!

What even is happening here? They all fell asleep with bright lights on, wearing business casual clothes. What were they doing where they just all decided to sleep there? It’s not as if they had a wild night of drinking and passed out watching a movie. 

Johnathan really has no life outside the Rods. He doesn’t seem to have any actual friends. He just hangs around his in-laws.

Oh she definitely does. Because it worked so well for Nurie’s sister-in-law

The VERY hurtful things are probably stuff the rest of us wouldn’t even think about a week later, let alone year(s) after the fact. For Jill a can of green beans is an attack on her.

I didn't do a deep dive, but maybe the Rod's electric bill was high "last month" is because its actually 2 or 3 months.

I’m betting it is multiple months. In Ohio and other colder states there’s a moratorium on utility shut off, which looks like it ends 4/15.  
 

I hope their adult sons and son-in-laws are prepared to bail out Meme and papa Rod if they don’t get enough donations.

Jill is asking for advice on which airline gives great miles. Frontier Airlines gave her 0 miles as a reward. She is wearing a live, love plexus baseball bonnet indoors. And filtered to death as usual. 

and she says they are trying not to use too much credit…

Comments are turned off so how is anyone supposed to give her advice?

Sorry Jillybean, the only way to rack up enough miles to get any significant benefit is to use some kind of travel rewards card A LOT and be strategic with sign up bonuses. And that only gets you maybe a few hundred off a ticket.

She doesn’t fly nearly enough to get any perks, but of course she wants them for basically just existing. Travel costs money, there’s not a secret hack to get it for free or $100. She’s going to have to grift a lot more if she’s wants more trips to resorts. Or, IDK they can get actual jobs like everyone else.

Tim is nice to Heidi because he does like her and wants to have sex with her. But he’s still an arrogant, hateful asshat to everyone else.  I couldn’t marry someone who treated others that way, even if they were super nice to me. Because 5 years and three kids in, Heidi might be rude/curt and how is that going to go over? Sorry I can’t cheer for a young woman who’s going to be stuck raising kids with a guy who is so full of hate that he feels the need to argue with people just doing their jobs.

Maybe Carol doesn’t get sucked off, maybe she goes down on them like Elias.
 

Either way, I can’t see her sticking around for long. I do like the twist because it will be interesting to see her and Pete interact, but don’t want it for eternity.

As much as I don't like her, I hope there isn't an issue with one of the kids. They don't deserve it. Hopefully, her phone broke and she has no $$ to get one. But, yea, she might be laying low because she hurt her brand. How will they grift if churches catch on to them? 

If there was something wrong with one of her kids, she absolutely would have posted all about it. Exploiting others pain for her own attention is like the #1 thing she does. Her mom’s stroke, her sister’s accident, the girl’s accident, a funeral for children she didn’t even know, etc.

I'd love to see that. I wonder if they still handout those "ads" to anyone who passes by on the sidewalk? If you have been there,  you know what I mean. They do not discriminate who gets one. I would see people take them, thinking it was a cool freebie, see what it was and throw it away. 

I was there this summer, just for a night before we were picked up for a rafting trip in the Grand Canyon. Granted I wasn’t on the strip late, nor did I wander down to Fremont St, but I didn’t see as many fliers as I did when I was there in 2005. I did smell a lot of weed though. 

I don’t know how Jilly would manage to steer clear of any Satan Honoring activities there, it basically starts at the airport.  However, I’d love to see her totally melt down amongst all the debauchery.

Tim is just ahas arrogant and hatful as ever. I never bought the “breaking away” narrative. He wants to have sex, so yeah he’s not going to go full incel on Heidi, at least until that is locked down.

They are going to do Neveah, aren’t they?

I swear, everyone that got pregnant in my high school in the mid/late 90’s named their girls Skye or Neveah. Since these people are basically stuck in that era and have the intellect of a high schooler, I can see them thinking “heaven spelled backwards” is super cool and original.

If she thinks people are tired of hearing her family sing, she could…not post videos of them singing. 
 

This has to up there if strangest things she’s done for sure.

I can see them missing their domestic flight after going through customs.  The only time I flew internationally, I went through Philly and it was a haul going through customs, rechecking my bags, and getting to the gate.  And that was before TSA.  Someone like Jill who does not fly internationally can easily not give themselves enough time to make it through all the steps in between flights.  

I can see her not considering this because she’s a Christian American! She shouldn’t need to go through customs in AMERICA! /s

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

I’m surprised she didn’t blame Satan for this. Frontier is notorious for checking bag sizes at the gate and if it’s oversized it’s quite expensive to check it at the gate. She probably had a bunch of bags of all their bonnet caps and hoodie blouses she tried to carry on. They also would have had to pay for seat selection, so I’m sure that she didn’t like that. 
 

I’m not sure they missed their connection or they just had a crazy long layover and didn’t realize it. I was booking some flights a few weeks ago and some layovers were nuts. These two don’t strike me as the savviest travelers. 

Whatever happened I think is on them, or she’d have gone into detail. If since they effed up, she kept to vague, lest anyone know she’s not the most perfect person to ever breathe.

 BME rationalizes that her kids want HER to get the souvenirs as she is so special. Dave doesn’t seem to buy much of anything so all the more for JillyBean.

This is so sad. Even when I go to some random conference I always bring back a little something for the kids, or just give them whatever corporate swag they handed out if I only saw the confines of the local Hilton. (Also never been compelled to video my room/lobby either)

What an absolutely horrible woman. She only got that “free” trip because andKaylee is buying hundreds of dollars in crap Jillpm has convinced her she needs to buy. Kaylee is too sheltered and uneducated to know she’s getting scammed by her own mother so Mama can go on a fancy trip.

So Johnathan can’t justify spending $150 on a quality ax that could last the rest of his life, but they can piss away (literally) that much and more on Plexus. But it’s ok, Dave Ramsey will set them straight 🙄 

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

Re: Timmy. He wants to have the Christ Honoring sex, and until they are married Heidi is not under his headship. I’m quite skeptical of his sudden shift that pants aren’t the gateway to Satan is genuine.  He might be willing to let things slide for now so Heidi  doesn’t run. Once she’s stuck forever, we’ll see how things play out. I hope for her sake his incel tendencies stay in the past. But he would be the first person to suddenly become controlling after the wedding either.

I wonder if Kaylee proselytized the staff? Other parents? 

I bet the nurses had some stories to tell about her and her annoying family. 

The certainty did. In Jill’s magazine paper, Kaylee’s “article” included the story of the twins that were in the NICU and they gave the grieving mother a Bible highlight with passages that, paraphrasing here, “God chose your baby to die for REASONS” 

Jill and now her children often tell stories where they think they are the hero, but they just come off as assholes.

She enrolled her daughter, who likely does not have the financial means to buy all this crap, to get a cheap ass bag.

Liking coffee as a personality trait seems like a requisite among young fundie women. As does the absence of color. It’s better than Jill’s Cracker Barrel store look, but it’s still your basic bland fundie decor they all have.

When has Jill EVER helped anyone? Grudgingly taking one person to the hospital, deigning to help this person who was clearly not the church royalty Jill believes herself to be, does not count.

I kinda remember that story. Jill posted it as if she was such a good person for helping, but she came off as a huge asshole. 

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

“Health and wellness company” So Jill made Kaylee her down line. She probably pushed them to make this page and said “Don’t worry, I’ll take care of posting, and you’ll make money off of it” 

I noticed when she announced Timmy’s page she said she wouldn’t be posting about them as much. But this time she made no such promises.

This is the opposite of JohnathanKaylee breaking away from Jill. They are quite literally letting her control their lives, whilst she makes money off whatever Plexus sales they get. 
 

Fuck all the way off Jillpm!

I wonder who paid? 🤔

Just what mom of two wants to do after traveling, go grocery shopping for Thanksgiving for 15+. Obviously Nathan paid, because a decent mother who wasn’t a raging narcissist would have everything ready so her child could have a relaxing holiday.
