Yes, she all but called it a miracle. why Janessa wasn't b I left out the "worldly, radical, leftist people would have aborted crap before and after this part. Jill really believed, or wanted people to believe the story of doctors being eager to find something wrong. March 2019 "Extensive sonogram testing showed major concerns on the development of Janessa's brain. Cysts, stroke (leaving a portion of her brain damaged) and no corpus callosum were the grave diagnosis once she was born. We cried, not knowing what the future held. Would she ever walk, talk or live a normal life?Through it all though, we had peace and an overwhelming love swept over the chords of our hearts that God had placed this precious baby girl (our 13th child) in our care for a reason. We prayed over her every night since she was born and trusted. Trusted a sovereign God. Trusted that HE would give the strength no matter what. Still trusting. To this day, Janessa has shown NO signs of being behind developmentally. She tries to talk, walk and is RIGHT on target. The doctors scratch their heads...eager (it seems) to find SOMETHING she is lacking in; behind in; slow in. They find...NOTHING. What a great God we serve. Now we understand and appreciate that not all situations have such happy and successful endings. We are grateful to a God that still works miracles."

Kaylee posts a video of her new prayer closet. Done in the same style as mama's decor. Small closet with 7 or 8 inspirational signs about prayer, 2 light sources with extension cords, small table with clutter, fake plant and candle. She also includes a close up over the table that shows the names, addresses and phone #s of members of her church. Including Jill and Dave's.🤦‍♀️🙄

some comments on Jill's fb post about her wonderful and husband approved money making company.

Surely this weeks "carved out" day of rest for the rods will be an extra special birthday event for Janessa. 7th birthday tradition is one on one time with mom.

I don't think we should necessarily call it hiding. He got a new job and didn't post about it. People do that every day.

The not posting the faces of the girls seemed to start about the same time Cade and his baby mama Gabby had the first and made a point about protecting the privacy of their child. All of a sudden Jer and Jing needed to do the same.

I think this is why Brianne has not made it to Alaska. (She posted about selling stuff and moving there post Sam break up) She went on a Missions trip there last year for a week and helped with VBS. But the folks she helped there are hard core survival and post elk hunts, gutting fish, power outages, flooding etc. Bree isn't that type of girl. She is shop at the milk and honey boutique for the perfect modesty outfit type of fundie.

She also maybe saw the shrek work on the barndo with 5 portable ac units and heat from a bunch of fake fireplace things from walmart. Jonathan and Kaylee's early 1900 house with asbestos shingle siding and Timothy's house 5 feet from the road with a sagging roof and all that did not fit her middle to upper middle class trad wife image.

Did Jill recently say their intentional day of rest was Sunday? The museum is closed sunday/monday and I believe their Pastor said the church went out this past Saturday "soul winning" and inviting folks to church. Even their own church doesn't use rod printed tracts.

The church the Rods attend is also in Mansfield

I don't think her body size and shape have really changed all that much because plexus wasn't doing anything there. She is a peri menopausal or menopausal woman who up til now has heavily filtered, photo shopped, took pics from above, hid behind others etc in order to appear smaller than she actually is. Every time an unfiltered pic appears she looks much heavier. Not body shaming at all because most would think nothing of her body shape or size if she didn't make such great effort to claim weight loss through plexus and heavily manipulating pics she posts.

Movie! channel that we get via antenna is running Frank and Jesse James marathon of movies all day today. I wonder which one will have them stopping in Walnut Grove. 😂

Janessa turns 7 this week. Expect another weepy post from mama about this season of life with her babies growing up/not having babies any more etc/

After going through several other jobs at 2 months duration each according to his linkedin.

Though the duggar's somehow managed to have 3 or 4 sons get a private pilot's license - and commercial and teaching license for a few. Also at least three have builder's licenses and 2 with a Realtor or Real Estate Brokers license. The Rod boys have been working entry level jobs. In Tim's case mowing lawns or gutter cleaning with no idea he needed to be licensed as a business or have insurance and had reviews from his mama and sisters.

my first thought too

In her stories - she is trying to win $1,000 from "the company she is working with by getting people to sign up to buy healthy products. A monthly give away and she is trying to win it this month. Also she "is hopping on here" from the girls dorm with bunk beds behind her. 😂

This was just two years after her parents finally got their "forever home" just 4 houses down from Dave and Jill. Jill's prayers had been answered mama and daddy were just down the road. Amy and Kevin moved from NY to live near them around that time as well. Ma and Pa Noyes house saga was something else. They bought a house at auction that ended up being uninhabitable. They alternated between the Rod's house and RV for a year, The auction house got demolished and they finally brought in a double wide manufactured home. Two years later Jill and Dave bailed for ohio.

Jill posted something several years ago saying they caught some of the children cheating on the end of year home school tests. They used the answer key or something like that. She said the cheaters would have to repeat the grade. Though she was also posting about the joy of having so many god fearing and obedient teenagers in their home. The teens who made God honoring choices and honor their parents in all things.

Since the oldest 5 seemed to have graduated in the right years and then a gap between Phillip and Samuel, it would seem at least Samuel was one of the cheaters. This was years ago so how would Olivia on down be cheaters on a test? That leaves Sam, Gabe, Tessie and Hannah.

From this 2017 pic you can see Phillip, Samuel and Gabriel should have all graduated in a row. Jill posted at some point that they had found some of the children had cheated on the end of year test or something and would have to repeat. It seems that was at least Samuel. who's delayed year then pushed Gabriel back a year as well, or Gabriel was also a cheater. I think Jill will push the next four though because she got embarrassed at church during the rod grift intro when a pastor jumped up after samuel and said "Samuel is 19 and looking for a godly wife" - what could mama say "oh but he has not graduated homeschool yet"?

yes Tessie 18 in July. Gabe should graduate in may/june at 19yrs old, Tessie next year and Hannah the next. Renee will be less needed once Tessie gets her driver's license in July. Jill and Dave make them wait so they don't have to pay for driver's training or interact with the worldly driver's training teachers. Jill has claimed Renee is always willing to run any errands. She also claimed Renee drove the other girls to VBS last summer.

Elijah started commenting on Jill's fb post around the time Phillip listed Baltimore Ohio on his linkedin. Elijah lives in Baltimore and I believe works at or attends the church where the dear friend took Phillip under his wing after he was retrieved from oklahoma. Elijah was shown at the rod house for thanksgiving. Jill has proudly boasted that "thus far all of the older children waited to get social media until they entered a courtship". Renee hopped on her own fb page early Feb. I suspect a courtship.

They were of to grift at a church near home this morning. Kaylee and Renee posted yesterday about special family time of bowling pizza and a coffee shop.

Jason is the one who fell in the orchestra pit and Jackson was the photo bomber for a few years.
