Triple P

The girls' and boys' rooms, the boys' bathroom, and kitchen and dining area were there when the Rods moved in. The room with the checkerboard floor was carved up to become Jill and David's bedroom, bathroom, and possibly the entry hallway.

WV house. They moved to Ohio in 2020. Edit: looked it up, they closed on the barndo on 12/31/19.

The wall was put up by master carpenter David Rodrigues, and he probably put up the shelf too, so I'm gonna say both are crooked. Such an odd place for the mouthwash and deodorant. Must be extras/backups and not the items currently in use? As for the printing ministry, David has printed things besides tracts. He did the godawful mailers for Joy Baptist Church after the Rods moved to Ohio, and he printed someone's book. I don't think he printed Jill's book about Amy Foster, but maybe. I haven't listened to any of his sermons, but others have reported that he has said printing things besides the smiley tracts is too hard.

I am grateful for the Thoughtful Perspectives we bring to discussions. I've been around since the Mighty Big TV/TWOP days, nearly 20 years! Thank you all for the community and companionship over the years.

I remember MM, but not a second suitor for Renée. Though I have no doubt that any potential suitors swiftly remove themselves upon being grilled by Jill and David. They need the "meek" sons-in-law who will accept and thank them for their corrections, like Jonathan.

Didn't Timothy talk about having to be curt with female co-workers so they wouldn't try to flirt with him or something? But according to his coffee shop review, there is a lot to be thankful for, so we don't need to be curt with people?

Maybe wholesome showgirl? I'm imagining pink, feathered, and bejeweled headdresses for Jill and her team like the Nashville cowgirl hats.

I'm loving her smiley faces and note in the second picture, complete with hand drawn frowny face, "this means inconsistent or quarreling. ☹️" I believe it is $269 per person per night, so $540 before taxes and fees for the two of them to spend another night.

"Mary said she would order Slim from me this month, and I just watched her put a $10 bill in the collection plate. I'm sure that she meant to give that to me as a promise to pay for her order!" -Jill (probably)

Jill announced that Nurie and Nathan joined her downline about 2 years ago because they both had "health goals they wanted to overcome" and saw that Plexus was the solution. Guessing that fizzled out because they didn't actually join, or had no sales/didn't create socials to generate sales, or Nathan didn't know they had joined Jill's downline until Jill posted about it and he then told Nurie "no."

Or only with woodwind instruments?

As I recall, the Derick was fired narrative arose because Jill and Derick initially did nothing to refute that belief after TLC's tweets that they hadn't worked with him in months, which i think suited his religious persecution narrative-he changed his twitter headline to something about not compromising his values to keep his voice around the time of the TLC statements. I tend to believe the "quit" narrative for the following reasons. 1) Jill and Derick were not part of the end of season interview episode that aired after Joy's wedding. It was filmed in June 2017, just after Joy and Austin returned from their honeymoon. Jill and Derick were on a "babymoon" before Sam's birth (Sew Sumi, former contributer to this forum, sleuthed this out.) If Jill and Derick were still under a contract at this time, they would have been obligated to participate in that episode. 2) Sam's birth wasn't filmed because they were no longer under a contract for the show at the time of his birth. 3) On or about Joy's first anniversary in May 2018, Derick posted about his 1 year anniversary of being free from his contract to film the show. The tweet has since been deleted, but at the time, many people assumed he was talking about a contract with TLC. Now we know he meant the contract with MAD Studios. I remember that many people assumed that Sam's birth was filmed but not shown because of the traumatic events, and then Derick started tweeting about hospital bills being covered when TLC. We now know that his statements were about Israel's birth, but Derick's tweets about Jazz and Nate were also made around this time, followed by TLC's statement about not working with him, which reinforced the Derick was fired narrative. The issue of contracts has been murky for years because as someone else pointed out, Derick had said he did not have a contract with TLC (which turned out to be true, as he had a contract with MAD Studios, not TLC), but part of the reason they returned to the States is that TLC did not want to continue to film them in Central America, and Derick said they had to return because of the TLC contract. I think that TLC may have said they weren't going to continue to film them, as TLC was not obligated to do so under their contract with MAD Studios, and Jim Bob didn't like that so he said they had to return due to Jill and Derick's contract with MAD Studios. (I haven't read Jill's book, so I'm making an assumption here.) Not to give Derick too much credit here, but I think he carefully worded his statements about contracts for the show so that he was not lying, but he was not transparent about his contract with MAD Studios vs the MAD Studios contract with TLC, and he did not clarify assumptions that he was under contract with TLC, as opposed to a production studio.

I just read an excerpt from the book, and apparently Josh was sitting just off camera during the entire Megyn Kelly interview, which served to increase the trauma for Jill. Her breakdown during the interview, while completely understandable before, is unequivocally understandable with that knowledge.

There are two "majors" at the undergraduate level. The Pastoral Theology major is only for men. The Christian Education major is open to men and women.

Wondering if the bear is the special Build-a-Bear that each Rodlet gets for their 15th birthday? Just when kids want a special teddy bear....
