Is this at the Barndo or their previous house in WV? And of course Jill decorated the shed, it’s her special skill.
WV house. They moved to Ohio in 2020.
Edit: looked it up, they closed on the barndo on 12/31/19.

Is the shelf crooked or the wall (or both)? The gap between the right side and the edge of the wall is not the same at the top and bottom of the shelf.
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.

She’s 21 and stuck running the entire house by herself and be in a grifting band. She is exhausted. Plus her parents ran off the MM and the other guy. I think she had more suitors and they all ran off. J/D are looking for SIL they can permanently mooch off.
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?

What would her Vegas wardrobe consist of? Wholesome stripper? 😀
Maybe wholesome showgirl? I'm imagining pink, feathered, and bejeweled headdresses for Jill and her team like the Nashville cowgirl hats.

I died laughing. She is so shallow and vile. No one cares about your dumb trip that you paid 10x than what’s it’s worth. Dummy plexus scammed you.
I'm loving her smiley faces and note in the second picture, complete with hand drawn frowny face, "this means inconsistent or quarreling. ☹️"
8 hours ago, Salacious Kitty said:So they did pay extra to stay another day. I believe the rate was $269/day just for the room.
Where does this endless stream of money come from for stuff like this?
I believe it is $269 per person per night, so $540 before taxes and fees for the two of them to spend another night.

Hey Plexus isn’t cheap lol. She probably does steal from the collection plate.
"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!"

Surely Jill will announce the new Keller fb page soon. If Kaylee and Renee have joined mama's downline, Nurie won't be left out.
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."

JiilR is a reed ho? Does that mean she does it in tall grass, or only with men who use canes?
So shocked she's advertising it. 💃🏽😁
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.

6 hours ago, MaryAnneSpier said:I absolutely believe it. Jill was newly married when she went on Megyn Kelly's show, so she was barely removed from living under her parents' roof. When you grow up in an oppressive environment where all loyalty is to your family, and particularly to your father, you go along with the party line. Jill and Jessa were told what to say, and maybe at the time believed what they said. It was to save the family's show/income stream; Jill and Jessa were sent out to downplay Josh's behavior so as to save her family's reputation.
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.

I love how they misspelled gospel (hospel) in the second line.
It's also a little unclear, they say the undergraduate part is for men, but the "ladies" (siiiiigh) masters program says it follows the undergraduate part.
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.

Because every 20-year-old American male wants a teddy bear.
sure to hear later, “Philip loves and honors his mother so much that he graciously and generously gifted me the teddy bear that he so desperately wanted for his own room to remind him that his Mama loooooooves him…my children have such a HEART for giving their treasures away [I sure don’t because I thrive on clutter] because they know their TRUE treasure is in heaven. Hallelujah! Jesus Is KING!!”
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....

I would guess they follow her on Instagram or Facebook, and Jill contacts them that way.
Oh, I read it as Jill was messaging people through Reddit but messaging via Facebook or Instagram makes more sense.
I am still skeptical of that "babysitter's" AMA though!

Yes, she’s been known to send private messages to random Redditors. Ugh.
And that’s what they are - Fanny packs! 🤣
That debunks the AMA from the person claiming to be the Rodrigues's former babysitter. She claimed Jill didn't know about Reddit.

My thoughts:
2. Is the Rods' cat still around? Does it have to stalk and catch its own food like the Rodlets do?
I don't think they have had a cat since they sold the one they had before moving to the RV full time.

If confronted, Jill would probably claim that the birthday "cakes" made out of Little Debbies are a "family tradition" and that the kids would be disappointed if they didn't get one.
You are right. Years ago, she posted a picture of some more artfully stacked snack cakes along with the caption that the birthday kid requested the exact cake!

Jill did an insane Welcome to my Plexus team video in 2016. Her team is named The Sparkling Jewels of Faith.
Best Jillism in the video - jill hopes you reach your health goals and maybe your financial goals, if you want to pursue the business part of Plexus so "why not shoot two birds with one stone and do both" 😂
In an August 2017 blog post she says she has been with plexus for about a year.
That reminds of an Jillism. When Nurie and Nathan joined her downline, Jill said they joined because they both had some health goals to overcome.

bitter, sweet
Jill cried bitter, sweet tears over Nurie's leaving home and made bitter, sweet memories with Nurie inches days leading up to the Nurptials.

And where are Gollum’s legs? Are they tucked under his bottom like Tim’s?
When I saw the picture this morning, pre-coffee, my first thought was that it was another imagining of Tim and Heidi's home decor. 🤣

Are bangs an age-related rite of passage for the Rodlettes? I feel like Hannah is on the verge of showing up with a fresh haircut of side-part bangs.
Jill once posted on her blog that Hannah can't have bangs. I don't think it was related to her age since Olivia and Tessie both had bangs at the time of the post.
Jill did not provide an explanation as to why Hannah can't have bangs.

Yeah my non-twin sister and I look more alike than they do. So much so that we actually had t-shirts made that say "yes we're sisters, no we're not twins" because we seem to always be asked those questions when new people see us together. I wonder if they are actually fraternal twins that people assumed were identical at birth due to being the same gender. Not sure when our medical technology advanced enough to tell the difference in utero, and once they are born, most parents don't care as long as there aren't medical issues.
The doctors may have been able to determine that they were identical at birth if there was only one placenta or one amniotic sac.

Jill has to make everything about herself. I wonder if she talks about how Janessa is missing the connection between the two brain hemispheres in her birthday post to her.
Of course she will because the evil doctors presented potential outcomes and options when Janessa had the in utero stroke, and termination of the pregnancy was one of those options,

Sweet Fellowship: Duggars and Friends (aka the Bates Family and Other Featured Families Thread)
in Counting On
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.
