He looks to be at a normal weight. He's eating somewhere other than home.

When did the pastor give them that huge dining room table with no reciprocation? That's when they wore out their welcome. 😃

Perhaps the pastor and other congregants had enough of Jill's constant filming, horrible singing, trying to dominate the church as well as the male Rodrigui constantly wanting to preach.

In April, Jill wrote that "Phillip is nearing his last semester at Massillon Bible College and is doing great [as shown on his test]." This sounds as if he is finishing his last semester at the college. 

If Jill had written something like this: Phillip is finishing his first year, or Philip is near the end of his first year, or Phillip is finishing his second semester, her meaning might have been clear. 

But Best Homeschooling Mama Ever strikes again. Poor kids. Three years at a tiny, uncredited Bible college will probably make Phillip considerably more literate than his teacher, Jillybean the Plexus Queen.  

 

Yep it was poorly written, leading to much speculation that he had left after just one year instead of the originally planned three. I was hoping that she had misspoke and he wasn't really done forever, but you never know with this family. I think Phillip has now completed more college* education than Timmy did.

*I use that term in the loosest sense

Timcel and Kaylee's church has a choir. I don't think they'd take Jill's screeching well.

Timcel lasted at least one semester at Moody and a semester and a half at Fox Valley. Right now it's about a tie.

I forgot he was at Fox Valley that long.

What is the status of Tim's courtship? By Fundy standards they should be marrying in 4 months.

If you ever feel the need to sneeze, just pull up any picture of the interior of Jill's barndo.  Works every time.

How's that weed smell, Jill?  I hope it triggered your allergies.  OH WAIT - never mind, Plexus fixed that.

If your income is so amazing, feed your kids and buy them shoes that fit.

She is high on smelling those weeds 🤣🤣🤣

Enjoy it now because when they have 10+ kids, there will be no name brands.

I'm glad the Nurthans fly out from airports. I was afraid they were jumping off cliffs to get airborne. 

Is Jill's Plexus push shot in the same field in the same clothes as her Everybody's So Mean to Me complaint? That was a quick change of mood. I guess the invitation to Nashville helped.

She's been planning Nashville for a while. Just didn't disclose until now WHY she was going. But this conference was no secret, so there! 🙃

[Future Cat Lady]

Am I reading this right? She’s eligible to win 150$, she didn’t actually win it. It’s not much to brag about. She probably thinks Plexus is so generous to give them prizes, but in reality they have to spend a lot of money to have a chance to win.

Sounds like she has to spend it at the conference so surprisingly Plexus is the real winner.

That $150 wouldn’t even cover her gas to get there.

Good eye!  But I get it - when you've spent hours on your makeup, hair, nails and accessories, and then worked very hard to pair your sexy flashy modest black spangled blouse with a purple and blue pattered skirt and you're looking very hot but not in a heathen way, you've got to make the most of those photo shoots.  So she knocked off the haters and gave praise to Plexus in one afternoon.  That's good time management.  I'm sure the kids were just fine while she was off playing Nice Christian Supermodel in the field of (hopefully) poison ivy.

So you shill Plexus, Plexus gives you points, those points transfer into cash but you can only use the cash towards more Plexus at the Plexus conference in Nashville for which you have to pay your own transportation and lodging.  Sounds fantastic, sign me up - I have always wanted to see Nashville from the inside of a Holiday Inn conference room.

What the hell does flying out from the airport mean?  Does it mean they’re flying home? Why not just say that. 

[Turquoise]

In the middle of the night (Jilly Prime Time) she posted a screed about God's people should have nothing to do with alcohol. If this conference is anywhere near downtown Nashville, she is going to see a ton of alcohol and drunks. Prepare for a shocked post when she encounters pedal taverns & obnoxious bachelorette parties.

Edited to add: looked it up. She'll only be half a mile from lower Broadway, where a lot of the honky tonks & tourist traps are.

Can't even LOOK at alcohol?  That must make grocery shopping very difficult.

[Absolom]

The good news about Jilly's hate for alcohol is she's saving many churches from her appearance.  😁

[merylinkid]

Pedal taverns?   Are those what I think they are and how can I find one?

In the first airport pic, Newman looks like he's trying to get away from Dave.   In the second one, Nemo is all "Why is this crazy lady holding me?  Get me out of here."

"600 points or more"  You know Jill is going to spin that to say everyone gets that once they hit 600 points and she had enough to go to Gala but chose not to.  Because she might have to look at alcohol.

LOL...probably. They're literally a bar on wheels, and instead of bar stools it's ringed by bicycle seats/pedals (no handlebars, you're seated at the bar). They're extremely popular in Nashville, and locals generally are not fans because they can cause some nasty traffic snarls. The bar has an engine so you really don't *have* to pedal to make it move, but a lot do.

She does know that Jesus drank wine and not grape juice? She needs to give up Olive Garden asap because they have wine displayed when you walk in (at least the ones I have been to do). Plus she could see a tray with filled wine glasses go past her table! The horror! 

She is really stupid.

We saw one of those one year on vacation. I can't remember where but I want to say Michigan.

God’s people should:

- Feed their children

- Provide a safe, spacious place to sleep for their children.

- Provide a proper education to their children.

- Provide proper, fitting clothing to their children.

- Provide age appropriate toys and books to their children.

- Shower their children with love and attention.

-Place their children’s needs above anything.

- Provide preventive medical and dental care for their children. 

Simple as that…

Well per Pa Keller it’s really grape juice that they just call wine in the Bible. Or some such nonsense.

I'm no theological student, but AFAIK there's a longstanding train of argument that what Jesus created was non-alcoholic. I think it's strong among certain groups of protestants, perhaps mainly evangelicals, who eschew drinking alcohol.

Jill's probably trained her kids to drop their heads and chant "Nike" "hummingbird" while passing bottles of alcoholic beverages or heathens consuming the contents.   

Jill would support a Constitutional amendment against drinking alcohol. Oh, that's been tried. What's the point of the kids wearing patriotic shirts if the Constitution isn't taught in the Rodrigues Academy Homeskool?

How can she teach something she doesn't have a clue about? Aside from the Second Amendment, that is. They love their guns! 🙄

I guarantee the music is not up to Jill's high standards. The choir needs cowbells, original hymns with bad rhymes, and a LOUD soprano voice to honor God the correct way.

The end of Jill and Dave's relationship with this church is already written. Let the show begin.
