Yeah, her chin is lighter.  Did she forget to put bronzer on it?

Wonder if she uses a lighter or match to heat up her eyeliner?  HA!  

Blowtorch. Definitely a blowtorch. 

 

ps I used to do it, too!  People used to ask me why I had a lighter in my makeup bag!

Drag queens wear less makeup, too. I think Jill wears more than a Kardashian. 

I would bet she wears something like Maybelline or Revlon -- inexpensive, but some lines are heavy and thick. If Max Factor was still around and made Pan-Cake, it would be perfect for Jill. My redheaded stepmonster wore it when I was a kid to cover her freckles. It made her look twenty years older. 

Hell, maybe Jill's ordering it off eBay from someone's ancient stash. 

[zenme]

I bet she stocks up on whatever the sell at the Dollar Tree.

JillR's FB post re D-Day anniversary yesterday, was so hateful that it was upsetting to me. She's really an evil person. It's upsetting to see her followers (I'm not a follower, just a lurker) agree with her hateful screed. On top of the SHP documentary, I think I need some breathing space away from these awful people for a bit.

Big hugs to you.

When I find myself feeling like you, I remind myself there are way more good and great folks in the world than hateful assholes like JillR and her ilk. I also make it a point to do random acts of kindness in my little area of the world to spread some kindness.

We should start our own IBLP group: Individuals Believing Love Prevails.

Again, big full-on frontal hugs to you.

Edited to add: omg I can't stop looking at it!  She's taken off 30 years and 40 pounds ... and her eyes!  I feel like I am watching the end of Rosemary's Baby!  What have you done to his eyes?  You maniacs! 

It's scary but it does show that she knows what good makeup is supposed to look like. If she used this as her real-life model she'd be 100x prettier. Rather, her heart would still be black and filled with worms, but her outside wouldn't be so ridiculous.

According to Reddit: Jill was approached to appear in the documentary but she declined. Who knows if it’s the truth.

[Heathen]

Nehemiah looks like his fly is open in the second photo. 

So after we snark on her ignoring Newman and Kaylee's baby, now Jill starts talking about him as well as his brother. Coincidence? 

[ginger90]

Nathan has preached about cellphones, social media, and selfies. He said, it’s all about me, me, me. Yup, MiMi. Yet, he’s okay with Jill’s posts that include HIS family? 🤷🏼‍♀️

Edited June 7, 2023 by ginger90

[BradandJanet]

Maybe Nathan and Nurie have an agreement that Nurie can send Meme some  photos every few months. Jill lives on and for her social media, so Nathan must know she'll have a meltdown if she can't get new content. At least Jill isn't the one sticking her camera into everyone's face in every situation and posting online without permission. There's a little control this way.

I have wondered if some of those were rather pointedly directed at Jill, and it completely wooshed over her head. 

[Salacious Kitty]

Well, I guess it was okay for Nurie to send pictures, at least of Newbie, given they marked his 6 month milestone. But I imagine for Nurie, the boys go as a pair. 

I do wonder if the Nurthans discuss what Jill might do with the pictures. Nathan must have some clue,. At least I hope he does.

I feel like if they continue sending them to her, they must know what will happen. If it continues to surprise them, that's just willful stupidity on their part.

I doubt she was asked, but since they didn’t pay participants I could see her saying no especially if she suspected it wasn’t going to be favorable to her. 
 

Although I get a feeling she’d go on Drag Race for enough $$$$. 

[Salacious Kitty]

Nurie certainly knows what Jill is doing, since she lived it for 21 years. I just wonder if they're talking about it.

I'm pretty skeptical of a lot of the AMAs about fundies on Reddit, but I do think this one was legit, and I think they probably are telling the truth that she turned it down. I think she's crazier than a shithouse rat and lusts after fame and attention, but I don't think it takes a rocket scientist to figure out that an Amazon documentary about IBLP and the Duggars that suddenly comes around asking other fundies to participate is probably not going to be very flattering. 

I think that's part of what makes it so hilarious to me that Paul and Morgan agreed to participate and then were outraged at how they were depicted. (Even though, from what I can tell, it was largely just their own words from their own mouths.) They are officially more delusional than Jill Rodrigues. 😂😂😂

Paul and Morgan's performative "outrage" was eyeroll inducing. They'll do anything for the attention.

Jill prefers to preach to the choir, despite claiming that she devotes her life to spreading the word and “converting” others. She’s a coward .

Everyone would see Jill’s hardworking hunk and want to steal him from Jill. Jill can’t have that.

On the AMA, the producer said she'd like to do more. She urged everyone to lobby Amazon directly. I wouldn't even begin to know how to do that.

Social media is probably the easiest way. The author Louise Penny posted an email address for lobbying an Amazon exec when the adaptation of her books was cancelled a few months ago, but I am not sure that would be the same dude for this. 😂 It also didn't have any effect on their decision.

By Renee Rodrigues.....

It gets very discouraging to see Christians LEFT and RIGHT who have given in to the temptations of the devil.... yet it is excused away by this FOOLISH philosophy of "growth." It makes me sick to my stomach!🤮  I can't believe what our world is coming to.🥺😥😭 

The encouragement I have is the glorious day approaching that seems to be coming more rapidly than expected. 🌅 I know that this is only a sign of our GREAT Lord and Saviour in the clouds!! ⛅️ I also thank God over and over for placing me in the family I have been placed in. ❤️ I am thankful for parents who don't cower to any whim or trial that may come their way and then blame their falling on their "hurt" from the past or blame it on some weak Baptist preacher who has stumbled. 😢

So many people justify their pornogrophy viewing, shamefully lying, sexually fornicating, lustfully cheating, imodestly dressing, consciously stealing, hurtfully back-biting, guiltlessly killing, wrentlessly sinning, and Jesus hating. 😫  They say the only thing that really matters is that we show everyone acceptance and love no matter what sin they are committing. 😒🙄 Yes, love the sinner, but hate the sin!

When I see such a drastic falling away in young, Christian people (and really all ages across America), it makes me want to CLING to Jesus and His ways even more!!🙏🙏🙏

1 Timothy 4: 
   ¹"Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;
   ²Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;...
 
  ¹⁰For therefore we both labour and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God, who is the Saviour of all men, specially of those that believe.
   ¹¹These things command and teach."

Striving to Show others the TRUE LOVE of Jesus and that HE can redeem us from ALL of our sin and set us apart to live holy for Him, Renee Rodrigues  ❤️

How would SEVERELY sheltered Renee know anything about what is happening "all across america??? Directly from mama is the only possible way.

"weak Baptist preacher who has stumbled" is a pretty specific mention there, My guess is Jill has probably been acting the martyr over some disagreement with a preacher lately.  I think the "hurt" from the past part is a jab at the abuse victims who spoke on SHP.  ☹️

Are we sure Jill didn't have a hand in writing this? Back-biting? 

[crazy8s]

of course she did. I think mama is pissed about SHP and has been in full preaching/ranting mode to the children.

When Jill finds something she doesn't like on the ebil internet or wherever, she herself has written about "screaming at her children" about it while they sit there wide eyed and promise never to do whatever it is that set her off.

an example - this starts with "I was getting caught up on my computer work a few nights ago and I kept stumbling on pictures, posts, etc., etc. of things that I KNEW would displease the Lord Jesus!"

August 2016

“Look at this picture!” as I flung my hand towards the computer.  It was then that I began my “Mama preaching session”.  (YES – women are to be silent in the church) but not with our children!  This is our GOLDEN opportunity to instill core character and a HATRED for sin in our children!! So, I began……………

“Boys, NEVER cheat on your wife – IT”S SIN – from the pits of hell!! Girls, never lower your dress standard – raise the bar HIGH!! Boys, keep your hair cut short, ( 1Co 11:14 Doth not even nature itself teach you, that, if a man have long hair, it is a shame unto him?) and girls keep it long (1Co 11:15 But if a woman have long hair, it is a glory to her: for her hair is given her for a covering.) “

“DON’T do drugs, smoke, drink, swear, view pornography!!  Stay away from gambling, and from ever stealing!!”

“LIVE RIGHTEOUS – UNTIL THE STARS FALL!!  Remember, Pr 15:3 ¶ The eyes of the LORD are in every place, beholding the evil and the good.”!!!!!!  and much more!…….

My children looked at me with wide eyes and I could see the passion for doing right……..creep onto their own precious faces & eyes.  When I finish with talks like that, they always begin to start talking rapidly and we have a blessed family discussion on sin and the DARK, DEATHLY places it will take you!!  Praise God for the light of God’s Word!!  “Ps 119:105 ¶  Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.”

"Was my voice raised to a “yelling” level!  You bet is was!!  In JESUS NAME – I will fight against the wiles of the devil!!  For he is a ROARING LION – seeking whom he may devour!!

WARN and SHOUT to your children ****CAUTION**** and ****BEWARE****!!!  Put on the whole armour of  God that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil!!  It’s SO important!"

Renee looks MISERABLE at that table.   Like she is thinking "Mamma please get this over with, I know you are going to use it for another rant and I don't want to deal with it."   

OF COURSE Jill wrote it.    She left Joy Baptist and moved to AndKayleigh's church.   That's why she is so mad at "weak Baptist Preachers."   They didn't beg her to stay and swear to change their ways after she and DBD did an aflouncement.

"Stink?"  Is that the Fundie word for "Sh!t?"  I've never heard that before.

"My favorites are taken" is probably the best way to placate Jill, though...as in, "I came here to buy some pink and brown cowhide earrings but Stink!  You don't have any!  If you had, I sure would have bought them!  Maybe next time! (whew)!"

[BradandJanet]

Renee's Jill's rant is the most creative approach to selling jewelry I've ever seen. There's nothing like a personal meltdown to make limp pleather earrings fly off the shelf. 

Heidi's mom's backhanded--Shucks, my favorites are all sold out. Too bad I can't send you any money--is pure gold. Maybe there's a tiny bit of hope for Heidi.

I just pictured Jill as bride of chucky with her head spinning around 100 times while screaming in rage. She is feeling persecuted… again…

Whoever said she got kicked out of her previous church (joy Baptist?) is correct. They all got tired of supporting Jill financially… and Jill is an ungrateful mooch. 
 

 

And so is her delightful husband.
