Getting a haircut in a barber shop would be a treat for any Rod boy. So far only Mahmo cut their hair.

I guess so.

Jill took Renee, Tessie and Hannah there last year.  The caption Jill used explains It. Jill ADORES it.

Good to know that Jill admitted that she doesn’t serve her family daily. She serves them occasionally. Basically her bestie daughters serve the house aka do everything. Jill just oversees her litter of free servants.

I still can't believe she forced barfing children (and David) to be out and about, let alone did their hair and make up. If I were one of the kids, I would have vomited on her.

I'm sure Tim and maybe even Phillip have been to the barber.

@crazy8s again, i want to express how thankful i am that you are our RodFamily Historian.  I'd forgotten all about the anniversary trips!  They'll probably go back to their same place where Jill marvels over a hot tub and she jumps in a freezing cold pool that's been closed for a month.  

Maybe she will cook a special dinner in the room like last year.  Pringles and ranch dip with a side of green beans, sauerkraut and 6 kielbasa.

After they got jobs and paid for it. Before: I doubt Jill paid for any haircuts. Jill cuts everyone’s hair.

[BradandJanet]

So Jill and David get a kielbasa each, and the hoard of children divide the other four? Thank you for sharing that, Jill. It explains a lot. 

As for a haircut in the Mayberry barbershop as a fifteen-year-old's birthday gift, remember that the former gift for that age was pizza brought in to a mall food court and a trip to Build-a-Bear to make a stuffed animal that would eventually end up in Mama's collection. Jill likes both Mayberry and stuffed animals, so she's happy either way.

I think the kielbasa trip was just Dave and Jill or maybe they brought 2 of the girls along. I don’t remember.

Nothing says anniversary trip with my babe quite like an airbnb with the cooking aroma of kielbasa and sauerkraut and the after effects of said meal.

Is that the trip they ate outside next to a dumpster?

not sure about that, but it is one where Jill needed to take video and explain the entire room including the toilet.

she also felt need to pet a lobster on her dinner plate and where she was in the freezing cold pool.

Jill acted like a helpless child with that lobster. David helped her with the lobster. What a manly man!

Well Jill says David sweetly grunts. I’m sure after that kielbasa meal he sweetly grunted all night long.

Hey, everyone. 😊 
 Just thought we would pop on here and post a couple of recent pictures. 
We also wanted to let you all know, we are doing great and continue to enjoy the love and many blessings of our Lord and Saviour. 💕💕 
  
  In these last couple of months the Lord has been showing us more then ever, the NEED to be SOLD OUT for him.🙏🙏
  It saddens and breaks our hearts to see the MANY,  "So called, christians"  that choose to live however they want, free of ANY biblical conviction. 🥺😥
         Sadly, this kind of Christianity is spreading ALL OVER America. 😭   
   It is becoming normal for Christians to live, dress, act, look and behave, just like the world. 
    
 More then ever, our hearts have been burdened and shown how we must choose to live HOT and separated for Christ. 
 We must not be lukewarm, but HOT. 
    Remember what the Bible says about those who live a lukewarm life.......
  Revelation 3: 15-16
      15 I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot.
      16 So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.
     Remember Christians, if you are just lukewarm, trying to fit in with the world, the Lord will literally spue thee out of his mouth. 
This is what GOD says, about being lukewarm. 
  
Now yes, we will make mistakes until the day we day.
 Yes, we must show love and a helping hand to those who are hurting and weak. 
Yes, we must forgive.
 Yes, we must be willing to guide and direct those, who have never heard, to the Bible and God's word. 
  BUT, to us Christians who know how we ought to live, when you choose to live like the world, to you it is SIN.  
            The Bible says in James 4:17.........
Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin.

  This is just a small encouragement to this young generation, that we too, can CHOOSE to live a life of separation and godliness.
 Are we saying it's always going to be easy, no but we ARE saying, let's choose;
The RIGHT path.
The GOOD path.
The HOLY path. 
The HONEST path.
The VIRTUOUS path. 
The OBEDIENT path.
The HONORING path. 
The BIBLE path!!!!!! 
    
   Remember who we serve. 💗💗
 Christians, continue to serve our WONDERFUL and precious Saviour, until he returns or calls us home.  
                     
     We love you all and hope you have a blessed day. 😊
      With love and care, The Hill family

So now other Christians are the problem? And the Rods are the shining examples of Christianity, true ones. I can't help but think of pharisees.

She posted that 3 hours ago, and Jill replied 3 hours ago. 
 

Jill:

Amen and Amen and Amen and Amen! ❤️ What an absolute JOY it is to have children like you......who are not afraid to proclaim God's way is the BEST way!  🥰🥰  He is SO worthy of us daily picking up our cross to follow Him with a passion!   Love you, Jonathan,  Kaylee and Gideon!   Xoxo  ❤️ Daddy & Mama   😘

 

 

Kaylee’s reply:

David Jill Noyes Rodrigues You are SO encouraging and our biggest cheerleader, here on earth. We are thankful for the STELLAR example you and Daddy are to us. 🥰🥰 
   We love you both so much and blessed beyond measure, to call you our parents. 
 Xoxo xoxo, Many hugs. 💞💞

[Madtown]

Dear Kaylee,

I live a fine life, living it anyway I want and free of biblical conviction. My husband and I actually have things to talk about, that isn't God 24/7(we aren't big religious people...gasp!) So just because we don't beileve the same things your horrible family does, doesn't mean we are bad people.

It's a shame you were brought up the way you were, because there are millions of amazing people out there. People you would never be allowed to talk to because they don't have the same beliefs as you, may dress different than you, might be gay or transgender, have tattoos or colored hair. This is why your only friends, are your siblings.

Your parents have taught you to judge everyone, regardless of who they are or what they do. You talked about how others judge, but your family judges the most! So get off your high horse and keep living the extremely sheltered life you live.

[GeeGolly]

Is JillR, through Kaylee, still fighting a fight that never existed?

How exhausting.

[merylinkid]

It's been almost two weeks and Jill is still angry at being called out for her invasion of privacy.    She is still going to make it all about being persecuted for being the "right" Christian.   But no one else is even still talking about because they have lives and have moved on.

[skipnjump]

I admit that I always think about when Jesus said, "But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.  I had to look the verse up.  I'm not into Bible quotes.

Yep, that's definitely Kaylee. Tons of unnecessary commas, misspelled words, and weird spacing and punctuation. Jill's homeschooling in full display. 

Also, the inappropriate teen in me giggled over "live hot" and "spue" (which I guess is "spew" in non KJV spelling?).

I see nothing virtuous in being judgmental and bragging about being better than others.  They have no humility or awareness of self and could care less abut the feelings of others.  I think they need a dictionary to see what words really mean.

And if you have read the Bible and know anything about what Jesus preached, he was very much against this. 

[oliviabenson]

All the random capitalized words, emojis and missing 160 commas… Kaylee’s post was written by Jill wanna be Hill.

Jill is like the spokesperson for everyone. Does she ever shut up in her rants at how she is the bestest and holiest Christian ever? I think not.

And I guess Kaylee isn’t pregnant yet. 

 

[precious pupp]

Until the day we day?  Huh?

Judgemental much, Kaylee?  Mahmo Jill taught you well.  Too bad you'll always be so limited and robotic.  

God gave me a brain capable of critical thinking.  I guess you all were behind the door.  How unfortunate for you and your gaudly family.

Gideon breaks my heart.  I’ve rarely seen him smile and I’ll bet he’s being blanket-trained.

[PradaKitty]

So now they are Sell Outs for the Lord?! Do they even know what a sell out is? This family needs to exchange one of their many, many bibles for a dictionary. 
I just wish all of these fundy zealots could take a course in comparative religion (not that they would understand any of it). Let’s face it Rod family, you are OUTNUMBERED by all of those Christians you do not accept as “true Christians” as well as Jews, Muslims, Buddhists, Sikhs, and the ever popular Amish to name a few. 
You have raised adults who can barely function in the real, sinful world and who appear to be bordering on the edge of illiteracy. You have made them fearful of the actual real world and those of us who live in it. You have made them fearful of God! And yet, they are so proud of their way of life. 
 

What a horrible way to live. 

[Salacious Kitty]

I just wonder where they see  all these "so-called" Christiane. It's not like they're wearing signs around their necks. And interesting that she's parroting Dave's sermon that Jill posted a few days ago.

Wanna bet that Jill enacts a dress code if Sam and Bri get married? I'm not certain about the state of her family to throw a shindig. 

[crazy8s]

Dave's sister responds to Kaylee. I really can't tell if she's agreeing with Kaylee or calling her out.

Sister is certainly someone the Rod's would label a "so called christian". She wears pants, tank tops, regular bathing suit and I think has tattoos.

Jill"s response is a ridiculous. She has shown how little respect she has for David's worldly family many times.

After these posts (both Jill's and Kaylee's), I see why Jill has to do the Plexus reset garbage so often🙄.  Her respons to Kaylee was clearly a dig at Phil.  She is so far from reality, it's disturbing.  I did find this on social media and thought it fit the whole family.

Tim did a music video to launch his "singing career" after he came back from his short college experience. He's walking along a river trying to sing to music he apparently can't hear clearly. It was another one of Jill's bad ideas. 

The Rods also recorded once in a professional studio because someone offered it for free. Is Jill going to pay for studio time and lots of auto-tuning? Nah.

Jill's big ideas tend to go "poof" pretty quickly. I imagine Jill and "her sisters" vanity project will do the same. The Rods just aren't talented enough to make money from their musical offerings. Anyway, Nurie appears to be part of the group. Would this mean more work trips, i.e., vacations, in Florida? Is the van up to the job?

I wonder if Jill and David have received some bad news from the Missionary Clearing House about their monthly stipend. Jill seems desperate lately. It might be fallout from the fight after Tim's wedding, but who really knows what rattles around in her big head.

Despite her complete lack of acknowledgement of reality, Jill knows she can't go physically haul him back home like she did the last 2 times he escaped her clutches.   He's a married man now with a job that keeps him from being dependent on her.    To  want control and being unable to assert it is the worst thing for someone like Jill.
