Fundies are not known to encourage critical thinking.

Also, they need to cleanse often so Plexus can sell more products. If their products really worked, people would not need to use it everyday. And that would mean less money for Plexus. It's all a scam.

I'm talking 40+ years ago. I used to go with my mom and her Mexican best friend and kids for lunch. I remember they had great tostadas which us kids would have. Real refried beans too. I used to also love the pintos and cheese.

Wow sounds delicious. That’s before I was even born though.

They were good but never sustained it. Google enchirito, it was good Mexican fast food. I used to like their taco salads too.

I will still admit I like their hardshell tacos. They are junk but they taste good!

Maybe in recent pictures, he thought he was filling out a bit past the pillow on his lap.

He's gaunt. No filling out anywhere that I can see.

If she cooks like her mother, and has as sparse amount of food on hand, he is probably hungry all the time.  My dad's mother was horrible cook--I mean really, really bad--and when my dad enlisted in the Navy at 18 he thought the food in the mess hall was fantastic.  First time in his life he had some meat on his bones.  And that was without having Plexus forced on him.  Poor Jon doesn't have a fighting chance until he decides to become head of the household.

We've seen some of her cooking and the food looks plentiful and much better than what her mother "cooks". However, they do spend a lot of time at the Rods and probably have their meals there which means not a lot. 

I think he looks gaunt too.

Because Jill feeds her face on junk food and high calorie foods every chance she gets.   AndKaylee is resetting because Mahmo said to.   Mahmo doesn't want it to look like she is the only one gorging herself between resets.

Jill posted them signing Happy Birthday to Dave. The lazy slug couldn't be bothered to get up out of his LazZBoy to have cake (yes, he got a whole cake). He just twisted his head to the side to blow out the candles. 

If he obviously cares so little, why bother?

I saw a picture.... gee dude, make some kind of effort at least for your kids! It isn't as if he is a hard worker! My dad used to work 6 days a week, more than 40 hours a week and even he could get his a-- out of a chair!

When Kaylee and Jonathan are eating at the Barndo, they are likely providing the food. They probably get enough for everyone. Jill is a cheapskate who mooches off her own children. 

I wish Jonathan would shut down this Plexus nonsense. Jill is using Kaylee and Jonathan's time and money to further her own desires for clothes, restaurant meals, decor, trips, and other indulgences. I wonder if Kaylee sees this but feels helpless to stop it. 

Kaylee, selling overpriced health powders will not win you your mother's affections. Unfortunately for you, love doesn't work that way. 

Edited June 2 by BradandJanet

[Salacious Kitty]

Yup. Jill's love language is gifts. Kaylee is helping BME but more crap for herself. I doubt Kaylee can buy much for herself other than the damn Plexus crap.

I meant no harm or ill-will towards Jon in my post.  I was solely making fun of the pillow situation that happens when Jill posts any pictures of the guys.  Apologies if I offended anyone, which was never my intent.

Adverbs, am I right?

[oliviabenson]

Dave looked like he was asleep and was awaken for the cake. I can’t find the video. Maybe it showed a clock? And did Jill need to tape Dave getting a cake? 

 

Anyways he looks unwell. Maybe he should take better care of himself.

With the late hours they keep, it is possible that it was 2am.

Very true

Gabriel's cheesecake and singing was at 11pm. There was a clock behind Olivia or Hannah. I don't think Dave even got out of the recliner to sing and a bunch of them ran right back to the tv as soon as the singing was done.

I miss the Taco Lights!  The flour shelled tacos.  And the black olives they put on Enchiritos.  I noticed in the early 90's, the green sauce changed and not for the better.  

Looking at the Bates cheesecake (Aldi maybe?), when there are multiple flavors jammed together, it looks like the store took all old and unsold cakes/pies and put them together.  I feel the same way about cuts of meats that are already seasoned etc.  I am sure I am wrong but that is what it makes me think of.  I AM glad those kids got some calories.

I used to eat Taco Lights too! And I remember the fresco or fiesta chicken tacos that came with pico de gallo. I liked those. Last time I went they didn't have them. And yes, you got black olives on your food! 

[Tigregirl]

I miss the old Beef Burritos Taco Bell had in the late 70’s/early 80’s.

[oliviabenson]

I love olives, the more the merrier!

I think Jill might have found her next "once a year family vacation" spot.

from the pool comments there was this from a sweet friend. Surely the friend wouldn't mind just a few more than 16 people.

From Jill's latest post we get Jonathan, who chops wood in a tucked in polo shirt, wearing a t-shirt with a business logo. I wonder if he has a new job.

A quick internet search shows a company with this name is Mississippi.  Is that  the right one? Where do Jonathan’s parents live?  Is there a story here?

Jill is like a rat looking at a church near that airnb! Add the Keller family it’s 16+. If you add the Hill family that’s 3 more.

Jonathan is from Mississippi. Maybe his parents' business? Or one of his brothers?

Probably from an old job when he lived there or whatever. But to wear that in public, while wearing buttoned to the neck polo to chop wood or build a garden or full on dress shirt and pants with giant ass phone attached to his belt to be asleep on his in-laws couch at 2am is amusing.

Graphic design is my PaSsIoN!!!

 

[laurakaye]

She can filter herself into looking like a plastic mannequin, but I'm stumped about the rest.  Did she copy someone else's message - Janet's? Jamie's?  And clumsily type her own name over it?

She probably thinks we will all be so stunned by her dazzling thin beauty that we will just skim by the writing underneath. But also want to message her?? She’s a mess through and through.

[ALittleShelfish]

I know she gets block-happy and turns off/limits comments, but are her DMs even open for people to message her for this "wonderful opportunity"?

Took a look at the latest pics of Jill and Hannah out for a bike ride. Janessa is stuffed in one of those baby trailer things being pulled by Jill. Stuffed like a sausage. I can't imagine it is comfortable.

And Hannah's simpering was cringeworthy. They learn that young. 

[crazy8s]

Jill was having "one on one time" with Hannah, while bringing "baby Janessa" along. 🙄

Jill only has 6 children under 18 now. The parents have no real jobs. If Jill would let her "adult children" live their own lives, she could have plenty of time with the 6 girls under 18.

It is funny they want to "reclaim the rainbow" for their god, but seem to forget the biblical meaning of the rainbow was god's promise to never again destroy humanity by a flood.

The term "Rainbow Babies", which fundies use all the freaking time, is certainly using the rainbow inappropriately, if we go by the standards Jill, Timothy and other anti pride month folks spout every june.

[mythoughtis]

That’s actually her second post about the month.  She’s pretty judgmental for someone who isn’t supposed to be judging people.  There are  several verses she needs to review instead of quoting the ones she did. 
 

In addition, she really needs to consider that she’s using that same medium to promote her business.  Not everyone that connects with her business shares all her beliefs.  Didn’t she find that out at the Plexus convention where alcohol was being served against her beliefs?
