Oh hell nah, he dumber than we thought.    I never knew this little factoid:

"He then let it slip that he was “familiar with” file-sharing software and had installed it on “all of” his electronic devices, including “the computer in the office.”"

Dude ADMITTED he put file sharing software on the computer.   Then thought a "Must have been that felon I hired did it" defense would work.

"I love this family of mine so much."

Kinda like how she proclaims how much she loved DBD.   She hates her family.   She hates having so many kids she is expected to care for.   She hates that they don't do enough for her.

That was my thought as well. Sad that they apparently took this baby out on a vacation the second he was released from the hospital. 

Jaysause take the wheel.   Even if Giddy had been more on time and not have any health issues, you don't go running around with a baby.   The poor thing barely has an immune system yet.   Plus Kaylee and Jonathan need time to adjust to caring for a newborn.   They need to follow the BABY's schedule, not Jill's.   Can you imagine telling Jill "Hussh the baby finally fell asleep and we would like him to stay that way for a bit."   Or "sorry we can't go do the photo op right now, Kaylee needs to breastfeed."

 You don’t go wander the hospital just because.   It’s not a tourist attraction. 

OMG, those poor nurses.   Just as they were breathing a sign of relief that the Rodrigues were GONE, they come back for a freaking tour.   

I'm glad Gideon is out of the hospital and thriving.   Of course, he got fed in the hospital.   Hopefully Jonathan has better ideas about feeding children than his in-laws.

Emily D. Baker is going through the factual allegations in the Lizzo Complaint.   IF TRUE, this is bad.   Like really bad.   False imprisonment, sexual harassment, assault.   Some of this stuff was witnessed by others.   Apparently this is a video that Lizzo really wanted deleted.   Which, of course, raises the question WHAT WAS ON THE VIDEO?   

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

Another vacation?    For someone who doesn't work Jill sure takes a lot of vacations.  

Nurie looks absurdly happy to be holding a cup of coffee.   You would think as a mother herself she would be helping Kaylee more rather than grabbing a cup of joe for herself.   But then again Nurie is probably just like her mother in her caregiving skills.

.  If anyone can look up the website and see, there is no reason to keep the details secret from potential students.

She also says they asked questions and the school was SOOOOO impersonal.   I bet they asked how much does it cost and the school said "check the website."   Which is not the super special treatment of personalized attention that Jill expects.   The school treated Tim like any other student enrolling instead of the Super Special Warrior for God that Jill thinks he is.   Ignoring the fact that anyone attending Moody is there for the religious aspect, so Tim was not any different from any other student enrolling.

Or as you said, Jill was totally expecting a HUGE DISCOUNT just for existing and got mad when  it didn't appear.

then I would think ministries would hire that person if they're qualified and competent. I

Consdiering that ministries don't pay well, I can see them insisting on no debt.   Because they know they won't pay enough to have the person pay their debt and be able to live.   They don't want the person to be distracted from the ministry by worry about debt.

But I am laughing at Jill being shocked at 50K for a year of school.   That's pretty average for a real school.   And that doesn't even cover things like plane use and gas.   Even Liberty University is an average of $42K.

@mojoween Did you determine the broadcast schedule for preseason games?   The Cowboys have exactly one NFL Network preseason game and it is at 10 pm ET.   All other games are on NFL+.

Can you blame them?   The congregation probably wanted actual music, not screeching.  

Geez.   What does Jill have on this pastor that he would say that?   Or what is the pastor getting out of this?   Ewwww.   It can't be that the Rodrigues are such a happy, lovely family to be around.

The colts aren't just going to give away a top player in a trade.

So if he is a top  player PAY HIM.   Either he is a top player and deserves to be paid, or he is not.   The Colts can't have it both ways.

hen they should trade him. 

THIS.   If he's not that important to the team and you don't want to pay him, trade him.   But Irsay is all "nope, not trading because he whined about it."  

Also the team is claiming he has a "pre-existing back injury" that somehow no one mentioned UNTIL he said trade me or pay me.   Funny how that works isn't it?

The Colts have a history of being terrible with players.   Manning has a standing offer of a front office job with the Colts, he has never gone back to Indy.   He chooses to stay in Denver and be associated with the Broncos where he spent less time.   Andrew Luck has pretty much disappeared off the face of the planet.  

Franchise tagging a player is just a way to avoid the player from testing the free market.   Hahahahaha, we are going to keep you playing for us no matter what, until you are too used up to go elsewhere.   Yeah the players agreed to the tag, but that was the only way they could get free agency -- even though a judge ruled alllllllll the way back in 1975 that the NFL had to let players go to free agency when their contracts were up.   The franchise tag is just an extension of what was in place at that time, a team unilaterally deciding to extend a player's contract albeit now there was some financial gain for the player.

Probably not Spivey, but the other two are reasonable guesses, especially Pa Caldwell. This would have been before Pecan's days as a preacher, but during his employment as a higher up in the IBLP. I just don't picture him knowing about burner phones. 😂

Oh he learned so much from Gothard.  I bet burner phones were used to intimidate those who wanted to report the abuse.  David waller seems as dippy as his wife but he is deep in the cult  and a huge proponent of it.

I'm gonna guess JillR is pre-grifting for a new RV and this RV will continue to "break down". The problem is, is she can't keep herself and her "sightseeing" off FB. More and more folks are onto them. Its not like back in the day when she only had a blog.

She's gone to the well too many times.   It started last year with Ma Noyes' stroke.  Not one grift from then on has been productive.   Folks are tapped out and sick of supporting these folks.   People will help out a family that has truly fallen on hard times.   But if you ALWAYS are asking for money, people stop giving.

I mean, this is the big puzzle of Fundydom (or the Quiverfull-esque version anyway).

The big issue is they expect to take over by simply having a lot of kids.   But then they also believe that everything anyone needs to know can be taught at the dining room table using the stupid wisdom booklets.   So not one of them has the basic education necessary to actual DO anything.   Learning plumbing involves more knowledge than just knowing the right way to turn a wrench.  You can't run the world if you can get the potholes fixed because you have no concept of problem solving.   Even JB was like "can my kids watch and then take over?"   Like it was just nothing to become skilled.   Because none of them have the basic education to know it takes effort and time to become skilled.

No trained electricians or plumbers for the Rodrigues sons. 

Or auto mechanics.   But Jill would never pay for the apprentice program or the tools they would need to get started.    Of course she is also missing out on all the things they could afford to buy her if they did have good jobs.   Pennywise, pound foolish.

Just like people have a pool for the date when a baby will be born, we could set one up for the date when the RV dies again.

My money is on Tuesday August 1.   Presuming Jill hasn't messed with timelines again.

But geez, "decided to fix it rather than go to a mechanic" is a really scary sounding thing.   If you realy on something so much for your "mission" you would want to know its fixed right, not just hope it is.

BTW Jill, sometimes God says no.   Your broken RV is God's way of telling you to knock off the grifting and get jobs.

[NFL Thread]

Irsay can miss me with his "It's a privilege to play in the NFL" comments.   

It's also a privilege to own an NFL team.   Irsay didn't even have to work hard to become a billionaire to buy a team, he inherited his team from his daddy.   He literally didn't have to do anything but be born.  Taylor has been working hard since he was kid in order to be good enough to be in the NFL.

Everyone acting like a player asking for what he thinks he is worth is a scandal (and I have my doubts about the number he asked for, lots of #s get thrown around then the truth comes out and it wasn't any of those numbers).   Average career is 3 years.   Damn right you get every damn cent you can.   If DeShaun Watson -- a KNOWN SEXUAL PREDATOR who will likely re-offend and get kicked out of the League -- got guaranteed money.   Why can't Taylor get his?

I also don't blame Taylor for wanting out of Indy.   Irsay said after the RBs had a meeting, that they need to just suck it up, after all there is a CBA they agreed to.   Gee thanks owner for your attitude towards the people that allow you to exercise your privilege to be an NFL owner.   Guess what Jimmy Boy, ain't no one going to the games on Sunday to wave at you in the owner's box.   They are there to see what's on the field.

Neither she nor her hunk understand the concept of working a job and paying bills and actually being a responsible adult regardless of what you wear or if you have a spouse.

This cannot be emphasized enough.   In Jill's mind the worst thing you can do is dress "immodestly" and not be married.   To the rest of the sane world, the worst thing you can be is a grifter with no job, no desire to get a job and a complete lack of care for your children of which you had way too many since you didn't care properly for any of them.

I know Jill ain't talking about herself.   She is not educated by any definition of the word.   Nor are her children.   Philip MAY become educated if he is allowed to continue, but the rest of them are as uneducated and barely literate as she is.

As for showing skin --  60% of the country is currently under a heat warning.  Wearing less clothing is not just a choice as noted, its NECESSARY FOR HEALTY AND SAFETY.   But then again Jill doesn't care about health and safety considering she lets her kids go swimming in drainage ditches.

Another proof, if any was needed, that there are rarely consequences for predatory men.

God and its not like there are other non-white, non-old, non-men, non-predatory directors they could invite instead.   If female directors boycott because of these guys being invited THEY become the problem, not the Unholy Trio.
