Holy shit - Christine! Maybe JillR doesn't look that bad after all. 🤣😬🤣

I know, right?!  I don't know how that dress stays up.  I'm sure JillR feels very superior and virtuous.  After all, she is fully covered--including boots and a hat!

[Salacious Kitty]

I doubt Jill attended the formal dinner. My focuses that was Jewels only. And, as I understand it,  Christine and the other Sister Wife are Diamonds.

Good thing. Eye traps all around at the formal dinner.

Are those NotNurie's earrings?  They really add to the outfit.   Just perfect!

I don't know--I think this outfit looks like her idea of what to wear to a formal dinner.

The fur trim on the hat looks pretty fancy.

[CalicoKitty]

I get it now--she is wearing Plexus Pink!!!!!

 

[zenme]

I’m embarrassed for her. The hat looks like one my 6 year old granddaughter would want.

OMG - the hat!!!!

[LavendarRose]

Is that one of those hats you see a troupe of hens on a hens night wearing?  Very cheap moulded cardboard, good for one use only.  They generally end up full of the drinks that have been drunk.  I this case, may also end up full of the Plexus that has been drunk.  
 

She is just so far up her own arse she has no idea how she comes off to other people.

Jill’s team: Jill, and 5 who made it to the convention. No clue how many are on her team.

OMG, Jill is just the gift that keeps on giving in snarkland. 

Seriously, is there anyone else attending that convention who's dressed in anything like Jill's cosplay ensembles? She's so out of touch with the real world, I'm almost embarrassed for her. 

Almost, because her narcissism has added extra levels of abuse to her IFB/fundie belief-driven mistreatment of her children. She's deluded on so many levels, but she's also a cruel nasty horrible mother. Probably even worse than the typical IFB/fundie/IBLP parent. The spanking scenes, including those featuring the Pearls, from SHP are still resonating with me at the mo, and therefore any compassion I may harbor for any adult in the IFB world is nowhere to be seen.

ETA: Wait a minute. She's part of the Rodrigues Family Serving Jesus. She's godly and her mission from God is to convert souls for the correct Jesus. Is she toting a bagful of smiley face tracts to the convention every day and handing them out or leaving them in seats and on tables? Is she collaring people to ask them about their state of salvation? Is she leading lost souls to JeSauce as they wander lost in that worldly and not-God-focused event? Or is this a vacay from Serving Jesus? 

And what's David, the HEAD of the Rodrigues Family Serving Jesus, doing while Jill's cosplaying at the convention? Is he serving God by preaching or looking alertly for people to collar and talk to about salvation? Is he handing out tracts? Or is he on vacay from Jesus too?

I frequently have the TV on in the background and for the last couple of days a commercial would come on that would wake up my Fundy senses because it starts out about wanting to save folks. Well the commercial is about Elton's Rocket Fund. Like actually saving folks - saving their lives. The contrast is remarkable. Elton is more like Jesus than Jill could even pretend to be in her own mind.

And JillR, this is classy pink western attire.

Oh carp. The hats. The boots. Is it possible that this is just Jill's downline, or some kind of trend at the convention? I stole this from Reddit.

[oliviabenson]

Other plexus goers. I see 1 woman wearing cowboy boots. 

[BradandJanet]

There should have been a special dinner for the "metals." Jill went to one last year as a regular gold status, and she wore a decent gown. The dinner is free for the attendee but a guest must pay. Jill and Hunk left the previous year's dinner after the speeches and food, but before the party got going. They didn't approve of the alcohol. 

I can't imagine Jill passing up a major Plexus event. She's already shelled out a truckload of money for this trip and the souvenir shopping, so another hundred dollars to dress up and feed Hunk shouldn't make a bit of difference.

That is Jill's downline. Close view has the pink patches saying Shining Jewels or whatever her team is called. jill obviously put olivia and sadie or whichever girls to work making these. In the close up there seem to be globs from a hot glue gun that attached the fake jewels and possibly the patch to the shirt.

I literally just ordered a very similar one for my five year old granddaughter. Except rather than the fur trim it's adorned with sequins, with an appliqued rhinestone tiara on the front. I bet Jill wishes hers was that fancy!

Thanks. I was finally able to log onto the Insta account I created mainly to follow Jill. Here are a couple of screenshots, including a closeup of a "Sparkling Jewels of Faith" t-shirt with the person's name redacted. Jill gave credit to one of the team members for the shirts, so I hope that means there was no Rod child labor involved.

The post came up on my phone above an ad for a toenail fungus study, which delighted me no end.

"I am prejudice." 

That's true, Jill. Is this a moment of self-awareness or just another grammar error?

Ye gods.  That hat reminds me of a hat (complete with large feather) at the Seattle World's Fair in 1962 (I was eight.)

That selfish woman bought all kinds of crap clothes and accessories for her, only.  She makes me sick!  That money could have been used to clothe her kids properly.

BTW, Jill, your seam in that dumb skirt is crooked.  You look ridiculous.

Another one is showing more leg than the Bible allows. 

Jill's white boots will be so practical in Amish country, especially during the winter. /s I have a feeling they'll disappear into the back of her closet like the croc-like heels did. 

The skirt has the same problem. It may have seemed like a good idea for Nashville (it wasn't, but whatever), but it's not flattering or practical for her primary role as the needy, grifting mother of a dozen kids in Ohio. 

The skirt could go to one of the older waifs, but it won't fit. The daughters are so much slimmer than Jill is. Too bad. Plexus does not appear to work as advertised.

As I understand it fundies require women to wear skirts because pants are too form-fitting, revealing the line of a women's hip, leg, and knee.  Jill might as well be wearing pants considering this skirt!

In this case, I guess she limits her justifications to the fact that the Bible prohibits women wearing clothing that pertaineth unto a man.

[oliviabenson]

Jill’s Father’s Day post is sad. She did not even borrow a poem to honor her pa and hunky. She really is pissed off or does not love them lol.

Here is an example 

And no

hi this is Timothy Rodrigues and I want to wish you a happy Father’s Day daddy. 
 

nothing lol.

[Zella]

I've only skimmed this thread for a while because Jill was getting on my nerves to the point it was no longer amusing to me, but her costumes for this Plexus convention and the resulting snark have been giving me life. 😂😂😂 I laughed until I cried at that picture of her in the pink hat.

Absolutely delicious fact that is absolutely lost on Jill:

That skirt is made from deconstructed jeans.  That's been a thing for a while, on and off, and so technically... our Jillpm is wearing PANTS.  

Happy Sunday, y'all.

Think about this Jill…

If there are so many people dressing differently than you and so many people living lives more fulfilling than yours and so many people  who actually date without marriage and immediate procreation in mind and so many people who are not afraid of a vengeful and frightening God, than maybe they’re right and you’re wrong (about so many things).

The problem with Jill and her ilk, though, is they cannot think beyond the dogma, and no matter how many people you point out who are doing these things, to her it is obviously the work of Satan in the World. By the time the rapture rolls around, in her mind, it's pretty obvious that 95% of the world will have been corrupted by Satan's whispers, constantly telling you that all these things are acceptable. It's only those very few who cling tightly enough to The Word (the Correct word, natch) who will be saved, and her supposedly loving God has no qualms whatsoever about tossing all but a tiny percentage of his beloved creation into the Burning, Fiery Furnace for eternity.

I can't even imagine how dire a Heaven full of all these types would be 

This. She’d go on and on about how they are fulfilling their fleshly desires now, only to burn in hell for eternity. And how those wonderful tracts born of Hunk’s hard work on the printer will win them back to the right way.

In the 70s and early 80s, we would do two things with old torn jeans: cut off shorts, or you slit them down the middle, make a couple more slices, and sew in a huge inverted triangle of same fabric, and ta-da, you have a jeans skirt! Hers is an update on the jeans-to-skirt idea, and it’s fugly. (I haven’t frequented malls since the late 1980s, so I never saw the trends that some of you mentioned.)

This makes it sound like her dad is dead. 

I guess if she can dramatize the departure of Nurie for Florida like it was someone leaving Illinois for California in 1850, she can post poems that pretend her dad is dead?

I think Jill has around 7-ish people on her team. When she's posted point challenge results in the past, there's usually around that many in the list. 

One of the women in the group photos is Betsy Foster, Amy's sister-in-law, who is Jill's upline. 

[GeeGolly]

So Jill and her team sat around last night with glue guns, sparkle paint and feathers. There was a birthday next door last week, a bunch of 7 year olds were pretty much doing the same thing.

[Salacious Kitty]

I assume they had their formal dinner last night. I don't think they were allowed at the formal affair on Friday.

"Of all days, today I miss you most"..."you are so far"..."I want you near".

Doesn't this sound like a poem originally written to a father who has passed away? How does this apply to Timothy, whose father is always parked in his armchair watching the map? Maybe it means that Tim misses David when he's off with Mahmo on one of their constant vacations?

[Salacious Kitty]

Did Tim post that? I didn't see it on his FB.

This conference is certainly unleashing the tackiness beast inside Jill. It's not often she gets the opportunity to let her inner glue gun go wild. The conference will be the absolute highlight of her year. Nashville will take some time to recover. 

[beckie]

Did she ask those random people to pose with her or did she bug them so much they posed with her just so she'd go away?

[merylinkid]

Another hat.  Really Jill you were just begging for money to get the RV fixed.
