Jill is such an ungrateful, obnoxious bitch.

Jill needs to be careful. People who see sin in everything might see gifts from another woman as a sign of an inappropriate relationship. Seriously, the gift-giving woman is young and might see Jill as a helpful mother figure. Her opinion would change if she actually had Jill for a mother. 

As for the music, maybe Plexus sees its future in young people.

Those earrings look like some Walmart or JC Penney birthstone earrings.  The kind of earring where the one stone is real but it's microscopic and surrounded by CZ instead of diamonds.  Also the kind that retailers like Kohls will sell for cheap when you hits the sales just right.  The local department store by me does 80% off fine jewelry quarterly and you can get REAL (cough lab-created cough) gemstones in the $25-50 range.  

Yea, I have some real good earring I inherited from my mom..... these do look like cheaper earrings.

Is the woman who gave Jill the stuff her Plexus upline? I don't know the deets of how those MLMs work but maybe uplines hand out trinkets to the downlines as encouragement. I suppose Jill's making the "Ruby" level would mean more $$ to her upline. 

ETA: I loathe all MLMs. Handing out cheap trinkets to downlines to encourage them to keep lining the uplines' pockets and building the corporate bottom line, seems like something that would happen in an MLM.

Perhaps the earring gift giver is an in-law of Jill’s sister Amy?

I noticed that!  Kaylee looked like she couldn’t stand for BME to touch her, and she looked miserable throughout the entire video.  She probably can’t wait to get married and get the hell out of that madhouse.

Kaylee doesn’t love her bestie friend/best mom ever 🙄

I laughed and laughed. Even her kids don’t like her. She is an awful woman

It looks wrinkly, old and like it smells musty. 

[galaxygirl76]

So to recap:

Drinking alcohol and 'rowdy, obnoxious ' music = bad

Lying = good. 

[iwantcookies]

First of all her hair is awful. The smug face/smile… Then the cheap necklace and unflattering baggy dress/skirt is no bueno.

She looks like a clown.

She looks a mess. The group pictures my friend posted show a bunch of smartly dressed people who look "professional". As much as I hate MLM, if you go to an event like this try to look your best.

Yep.   It's a cheap handout to convince Jill to keep shilling plexus.   It's is not an expression of friendship.   but you know Jill has to spin everything.   "Of course this darling person gave ME a PERSONAL GIFT because I am so special."   Not, she handed these out to everyone in her downline because its a great incentive.

I have a FB friend who is there with his husband. He posted pics and videos and he stayed for the dancing! In one of his pans of the crowd, I swear I saw Jill and Shrek. 

Oh and he drank! 

You might want to let your friend know that he and his husband aren't very godly. I mean, they danced to OBNOXIOUS music and DRANK!!!

Uptown Funk is a favorite of mine and I would've loved to make her listen to it while making her drink wine..lol. Who knows, maybe she would turn out to be fun with a few drinks...nah!

Don't be jealous, but about 10 years ago, my husband bought me REAL ruby earrings for my birthday.

That woman is insurfferable. I can't imagine what it's like to spend 20 seconds with her. I don't think I'd make it 5 seconds with her. I'd also like to know how these people that grift her stuff, don't see through her and her bullshit? They are just as delusional as she is.

I'm sure she handed these out to several women. I bet Jill even knows that deep down but she has to convince us and herself, that she is very special. No Jill, you really aren't. You got some cheap earrings that probably came from Walmart for $29.99.

I would love a pair of emerald earrings but most emeralds nowadays are lab created. My engagement ring is an emerald, a natural one. When I get it cleaned they always comment on it. 

[iwantcookies]

I see 2 playing barefoot! Ouch! And Tim was allowed to go (seek a wife?). And look a guy wearing a tank top. All the girls got defrauded looking at his exposed flesh.

i don’t think I have seen any Rod males in a tank top.

I'm starting to think the grift isn't actually happening -- as in people just giving her stuff.   I mean we just have Jill's word for it that she is being gifted all this stuff.   We know she is what is known as an "unreliable narrator."   For all we know, some of that stuff is food pantry stuff that everyone gets.   Or she bought it with food stamps.   Not sure about half a cow, but again, do we really know any details beyond what Jill says about it?

Yeah.    Jill might find out that her "business" isn't really hers.    I am betting the Plexus contract is pretty one sided in that they can cut her loose and reassign her downline anytime they want.   

Can you find out what music was played that was so rowdy and OBNOXIOUS?

If Plexus cut ties with Jill, it would be hilarious!  Watch her flip like quarter and start posting about how bad Plexus is for you and that it doesn’t do anything that it claims to do.  And the persecution complex would come out raging!  “They’re an ungodly company, a bunch of devil worshippers, that don’t want to be associated with anyone as godly as me!”

Emeralds are another favorite of mine! Your engagement ring is no doubt, gorgeous! My earrings were on clearance, so not super expensive and they are small. I’m a very frugal shopper, never would have asked for them otherwise.

I’ve thought about this too. I often wonder if the people she tags in her grifting posts, see them? My guess most might not be SM whores like Jill.

If Jill reads here as we have often suspected, I hope she won't punish Kaylee for looking annoyed on the video. If she does, Kaylee will go on the poopy list like Tim. I feel sorry for every Rodlet, having to deal with her Narcissistic Highness!

[BradandJanet]

Tim and Phillip are wearing street shoes on a gym floor. Don't they own any used sneakers? 

I hope Jill had to pay the full conference price for David the Drifter to attend that dinner with the wine he couldn't drink and the music he couldn't listen to. I'd worry that it's $149 that would otherwise go to feed his kids, but I know Jill would find some other way to spend the money that didn't involve feeding, clothing, or educating their children. 

[laurakaye]

If wine was served with dinner, then Jill and Shrek should've immediately gotten up and left the room.  But given that there was food, and probably dessert, and gifts lavished on Jill, they stayed put until Shrek had eaten his fill and Jill had received all the accolades due her.  It must be such an exhausting daily balance for Jill to be the recipient of gifts and attention from people she despises and loathes.

Love the white t-shirt under Jill's black evening dress. It elevates the look. 

he was not wearing a jacket in the video i saw. It looked like he was wearing Phillip's grad pics shirt though.

Eh, Plexus like other MLMs is popular with the no-drinkin-because-Jesus crowd.  Jill was far from the only attendee who abstained.  Also, this would have been the kind of event where each attendee was given 1 or 2 tickets for wine to be redeemed at the cash bar (additional drinks available for a fee).  Jill and the others who abstained had a choice--throw away the free wine tickets, give them away, or sell.

At the conference, Jill was today years old when she learned that the #1 trend influencing the next generation is...wait for it... PARENTING. 

She's such a shitty parent that this never occurred to her, apparently. 🙄

I have a feeling her friend gave out earrings to more than her. I doubt they were real rubies. Elsewhere someone posted a link where you can by stuff online from China cheap. I can see uplines buying gifts like this in bulk to hand out in whatever color the person is at. While it is a nice little gift, she didn't exactly buy Jill the crown jewels.

I wonder what the rowdy and obnoxious music was. Probably the Doobie Brothers. Most conventions either have a slightly discounted guest registration or you pay separately for events that you want your guest to attend. If Jill’s registration was $150, I’m thinking the cost of David’s attendance is at least 75 bucks. Probably more. There’s no way an MLM is letting people get away without coughing up cash. Not to mention hotel rates are about $150/night. Unless of course, they drove the RV there and are using that as a hotel room. But where would they park it? It would’ve made more sense for Jill to grift her way into one of her sweet Plexus friends’ rooms and leave Shrexus at home.

I hope the Rodlets throw a Ferris Bueller-type rager while the Rodrents are gone. DJ Janessa on the ones and twos.

Gas for the RV probably may cost more than a hotel room.

She’s tone deaf. She does the same when she posts about Christians who are not godly enough, who wear pants, get divorced, etc. Even though by doing so she’s insulting Nathan’s family. And she wonders why they weren’t invited back to his heathen sister’s vacation home.

Awww, Jilly. Let me introduce you to 3 little words. “No, thank you.” Then whomever is pouring the wine… will NOT pour the wine for you. You won’t have to get on your little pedestal and preach to those of us… well, ME… who enjoy wine with dinner. And as far as the obnoxious music… please let me introduce you to 1 other word. “Goodnight” as you are getting up and (hopefully) pulling your chair in. But you won’t be able to preach your beliefs to the heathens.

I'm sure all the people who merited an invitation to this dinner received accolades from the hired speakers, all as a group. Of course, narcissist Jill heard all of that Plexus praise going to her alone. She may not be making much money, but Plexus is feeding her ego.
