Lady Edith

I can’t say I’m shocked. Timmay was due to get hitched. But what frightens the hell out of me is not only his I am superior” attitude in regards to the wimmin’ folk, but the fact that he has been so woefully unprepared to do ANYTHING that would even remotely support a family. He is mentally, emotionally and financially unprepared to take care of himself, let alone a family. He makes bad YouTube videos and lives in a trailer in his parents’ back yard, for Lord Daniel’s sake! That aside, this poor girl he is marrying…I fear for her on so many levels…

I thought the same as you about the skirt. I took a closer look and I think that’s a fleece blanket. The hem on it is pretty thick to be a skirt. I will say, though, it’s refreshing to see Ma in a “hoodie blouse” as opposed to a turtleneck. And can I say “EW” about a double-date with your parents? Why not just say you went to dinner with them to get Ma and Pa away from the house for a bit? Jill, It’s ok to go to dinner with your hubby and other people and not call it a double date or a group date. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Especially when talking about you and DBD going out with a couple of your older kids. Brothers and sisters normally don’t “date”.

I had always hoped it would be Jinger who wriggled out of the choke hold that Gothard had on her via her family. While she didn’t “break free” entirely, she was able to shift her focus enough to realize that she had been controlled her entire life. And who knows? Maybe some of her siblings will follow hear lead and we will finally get that tell-all we have been hoping for.

My kiddo is a senior in a major U.S. university. Due to financial restrictions on my part, they have put themselves through college entirely on their own. Two majors (one, a language) a minor and a certificate in a related field. They work a 30-hour-per-week job (in addition to loans and grants) and, between work and classes, has precious little time for anything else. So this is what I think… 1. Philly is not taking a full credit load 2. Philly is not working a full-time job and, if he is, 3. Philly’s grades are NOT what Jill says they are, or 4. There is precious little ACTUAL work at Bible college and their grades are based on attendance and reciting verses, not actual scholastic pursuits. Take your pic, but something is not kosher with this scenario…

Since Jilly does not give important info on oh, say, what the “speshul guests” will prattle on about, I have created my own program notes: Mrs. Jeannine Williams is Dr. Tom Williams’ wife. Period. She has a porcelain cat collection that takes up her entire living room and will talk about it to anyone at length. Mrs. Dr. Tom Williams is an expert on eye traps and diverting men’s glances. She enjoys whatever her husband tells her she enjoys. She does not yet know what she will talk about, as Dr. Tom Williams hasn’t told her yet. The Yeggy Ladies…we do know one fact and that is they are probably NOT a musical group and they are “sweet, speshul friends” of the Rod girls. As they all look to be sisters ranging in age from late pre-teen to late teen, they will spew nonsense about how awful music with a beat is and holding out on getting to know your intended spouse (beyond Jaysauce) until after your wedding day. They enjoy turning their noses up at blue-haired single moms in the local Wal Mart and changing the diapers of their 12 younger siblings. Mrs. Sherry Love (no husband mentioned…SCANDALOUS!) is the latest new grift mark for Jilly and Co. Jill coerced her into speaking at her retreat in order to get into her good graces. Mrs. Sherry Love has 52 recipes for tuna noodle casserole and enjoys talking about them at length. Her speech title is tbd, but you better be certain it will make mention of her being a Proerbs 31 wife l.

I can confirm this for Ohio. My child just got their permit and is 16. They must take drivers Ed and log many hours of driving in all weather conditions and at night. The course is nearly $500. I can not see Jill or hunk forking that out for a Rodling to drive. Better to have them wait till 18 as they don’t go anywhere without a parent or older chaperone, anyway. So why spend the $$$? And I’m certain Hunk is Dean of the Rodrigues Family SOTDRT Driving School. Which means a sub-sub-sub standard education. Let’s see…Nurie was driving when she and Kaylee were in the infamous ER visit/photo shoot accident. Stated cause? Distracted driving. Timmay got a few speeding tickets and I believe a wreckless driving nod, too. Now Philly is adding to the family collection of citations. Sounds like a solid driver education program riiiiiight there.

Ahhhhh so I suppose you have not yet heard the Saga of Snuggles, the Pup Who Was Left Behind?

Of course. That’s what I meant…they BOUGHT the clothes in the sense of “here is $300, go get the kids nice clothes for Christmas”. Ma Turtleneck is not in any position to shop for anything these days on her own, so this is an easy thing for them to do that would be useful. My grandparents did this for the younger kids once they were unable to shop anymore or the grands were too far away. They sent money and a list of what was intended. It was nice because the kids had actual presents Christmas morning from the grandparents.

Wow, aside from DBD’s lack of nice shirt and Jonathan claiming what is his, that’s a very nice picture! All of the kids are in nice, decent-fitting clothing. The girls actually look…cute! And their shoes all appear to be at or near the correct sizes and are appropriate to the style dress being worn. I’m impressed! Maybe Ma or Pa Turtleneck bought the kids nice clothes as a Christmas gift.

So I wonder what kind of “talk”, if any, Jill had with Kaylee before the wedding? As in what really to expect? And how does a parent suddenly shift gears from “you will go to hell if you do this” to “do it as often as you can because you are now righteously bonded and YOU NEED TO MAKE BABIES!!!” Literally within the span of an hour-long church service a young woman goes from total fear of sex to being required to do it on demand. That has to be psychologically traumatizing to the couple, but especially the young woman who is probably terrified of both the act and what comes after.

This is just crazy. They must have either been SUPER lucky out of the gate or they boinked non-stop from the minute they left the reception till they tested positive. And the tests must have commenced immediately after Kaylee lost her V-card. She literally has not missed her first period yet!!!!! Hoping baby is healthy and that they have enough time to grow something of a partnership before baby comes. Yikes.

So, Jill, we know you read here. You bring all this on yourself. Read Matthew 7. All of it. Understand that this chapter is ALL about what you are doing. You continually judge people, whether it be for their lifestyle choices, they way they dress, the nature of their own being, their religion, whatever. it is NOT up to you to make snide comments regarding ANYTHING about anyone else other than yourself. And honey, you are not that great in comparison. So stop being so judgey and realize that you are going to continue to receive backlash about EVERYTHING you put on social media and what you do in the world not because you are Christian...more because you are the antithesis of everything a good Christian should be.

In all realistic fairness, Pa Turtleneck probably did spend part of Thanksgiving day with Ma. I’m going to venture a guess and say that she is in the ICU dealing not only with her latest stroke, but with a fractured hip that is still healing AND the multitude of other issues that are still very much present. So limits on visiting hours. The poor guy looks tired and worried in the dinner pic. I do feel badly for him. I wonder if he is staying at the barndo or if Jill has not offered him the spare room because of precious Nurie coming home in a month?

Absolutely. And uniforms. I am a sucker for a man in uniform. Impure thoughts abound! 🤣🤣🤣🤣 But that is what is so stupid about what they think. Jill, women are JUST as capable of eyeing up a man. Even IF the man is covered neck to toe. But they don’t have to be as covered, like you proclaim women need to be. A lot of us can get all riled up looking at a man in a military/police/fire uniform. Or a suit and tie. And you don’t get more covered up than that.

SHE 👏 DOES 👏 EXACTLY 👏 WHAT 👏 SHE 👏 IS 👏 JUDGING 👏 ABOUT!!!!! Jill, if you are reading this, I will go back and pull alllllll of the photos you have posted with you posing sexually and post them here. The photo of the Plexus bag inbetween your teeth and your eyes half-closed like you are in ecstasy. The pic of you mouthing a bottle of that pink sludge. The multitude of shots with your lips half-puckered and eyes half closed. The only thing you DON’T do is pose in what you call a “mini skirt”. But there are PLENTY of pics of you floating out there online in wet clothing at the beach. But it’s OK because everything is “covered”. I’m a relatively modest-dressing woman and would NEVER wear a thin, clingy-when-wet maxi skirt or top to the beach. Ever hear of a wet t-shirt contest?!? Ask your stud muffin. He can fill you in, I’m sure. But I digress. If I need to explain the innuendo behind your pictures, and the sheer irony of your rant, I would be more than happy to. Until then, God gave us all beautiful bodies and they need to be celebrated as His creation and not something to hide in the name of feigned modesty. Guaranteed a man will look at a woman he finds attractive no matter WHAT she is wearing. Hell, women look at men, too. Personally, I think my boyfriend looks hot in a button-down shirt with the sleeves rolled up and jeans. Hubba hubba. But again, I digress. The moral here, Jill, is to stop throwing rocks at those glass houses. You are NOT the person you think you are by judging others. Only God can do that. And I think he doesn’t really care what people wear. Or how they show their bodies. Be a real Christian and love everyone. The Jesus you believe in is NOT the Jesus you think he is.

Ok so I have questions. Define “a lot of us”. Does “us” entail the Rod/Noyes clan or other randos at the wedding? Are the newlyweds excluded from this “we”? Chances are, if there were folks who got sick after the wedding most likely they hugged all up on Jonathan and Kaylee. Which means one (or both) probably got sick, too. IF people actually got sick. My guess is, with the weather changing and flu season upon us, this was actually Jilly’s very thinly-veiled effort at marketing her snake oil.

Imho Kaylee is the prettiest of the of-age Rod girls. Conspiracy theory…Jill is jealous of Kaylee and did whatever she could to diminish her in other peoples’ eyes…whether it be posting awkward pics of her on SM or making her look like a disheveled mess on her wedding day…while Jill, herself, was put together 100%. Kaylee, I’m so sorry that you looked so crooked on your wedding day. Now you are going to have to look at these wedding pics with your side-slant veil for the rest of your life. Why did no one tell her?!?!?

Ahhhhh…so the Rods “performed” at the wedding. Maybe THAT is what it took to shake Jill from her clutch on matron of honor. She got to show off her superior singing skills in lieu of pole position next to Kaylee.

So from what we are seeing so far, Jill’s participation and influence have been greatly reduced from what she is used to doing. She was not the center of attention and her gaudy, tacky, tchotchke-laden tastes were apparently not welcomed. Or, at least, strictly minimized. Not to mention she was relegated to mother-of-the-bride status, which is not exactly the spotlight she craves. I’m sure she was expecting to be matron of honor for all her “girlies’” weddings because they are all besties! This is why she didn’t talk much about the wedding. She was probably butthurt and sulking in a corner the whole time it was being planned. Not going to talk anything up that she can’t influence/run/control.

I agree, much nicer wedding than Nurie’s. Dress is meh, looks like she has a towel shoved down the front. Modesty! This has got to be the most unbalanced bridal party I’ve ever seen. Why are there not more participants from Jonathan’s family? Seeing as how I’m pretty sure his parents paid for a large portion of it, they could’ve at least had a bigger representation. That being said, I do like the bridesmaid’s dresses (they MATCH!) and the choice of color light pink is an odd one to select for a fall wedding, but the neutral dresses brought it together nicely. Poor Renee. She is now oldest female daughter and I’m sure next on the chopping/auction block. And pretty much alone now in facing BME. And taking care of the littles. I hope she doesn’t become the Rod’s Jana. And food! Real food! I’m shocked! The jury is still out on just how much of a big deal was made over the non-wedding events during the ceremony (like BME’s bday, the Royal anniversary, etc.). But I’m sure there was some “honoring” done. Nurie should not have traveled all that way so close to her delivery date. IMHO they knew her due date when the wedding date was picked. They could not have waited a little longer if they wanted her as part of the bridal party? When my ex and I planned our wedding my former SIL was asked to be a bridesmaid. She accepted. A few months later, she found out she was expecting and gracefully bowed out of the wedding party. She wound up going into labor a few hours after the reception wound down and had the baby the day after.

The suspense is too much. I need an update. There’s way too much happening today…Kaylee’s wedding and Duran Duran being inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame…it’s a banner day!

Interesting. I didn’t know that the Rods are archers. It’s now bow season here in Ohio. Youth gun opens Nov 19. Just saying.

Lord Daniel of the Laundromat, that girl does NOT look good. I don’t care what Jill says, this child is not “naturally thin”. I have a friend who I’ve known nearly 50 years. She is naturally very thin and tall. Physically, as a child, she looked like a Rodling. All but in her face. She had a healthy skin tone. She did not have dark circles under her eyes, nor did she have dry, thin hair. Children are NOT meant to look like this. I wish there was a way to break through to the Rodlings that their Turpinesque upbringing is NOT normal. Or healthy. Look how much Nurie began to glow once she married Nathan. She has considerably less stress in her life and (I’m assuming) eats regularly. and don’t forget how much Timbits changed when he went away to Flying for Jaysauce school. He filled out. He had a healthy glow. Now that he is back under BME’s authority, he is back to being grey and rail thin. You can’t tell me that these kids aren’t malnourished!

So what keeps me up at night wondering is this…the Rods sing at a church. People fall for their grift and give money, because jaysauce. Two months later Jill’s SM and website are flooded with photos of vacation. New add-ons and decor for the barndo. New clothes and jewelry for Jilly. Ad nauseum. And the people supporting all this can’t do a fraction of what the Rods do. So why do people NOT see what is happening? I swear to Lord Daniel of the Laundramat, both my hunk and I work full-time. We live in a modest home uncluttered by tchotchkes because we can’t afford extras. We go on one vacation a year, with other people, so we can split a rental home and reduce costs. I can’t tell you the last time we had a restaurant meal out. And we work! Hard! As do most of the people falling for the grift. So when will people see the REAL truth and the bottom falls out?

But I thought that Christians are supposed to embrace the sinner? To help them find their way (or way back) to righteousness? This is her so-called “friend”. True friends do not turn and run when people fall. They help them back up! You ARE known (in part) by the company you keep. However, you are MORE known by your deeds and how you treat people. Christian or not, two DUIs in that little of a time (July and September from what I read) is not good. Kim needs help. And Jill, as her friend, should stand by her, not dump her. I’m sure if Jill does dump Kim, Nurie will be encouraged to dump Hosanna. Because sins of parents and all…
