The only religious book with those initials that I can think of is Doctrine and Covenants; but that's part of the Book of Mormon and I doubt Jill is familiar with it.

The quote about the fields being ready to harvest is from the Gospel of John in the regular Bible, but it is found at 4:35 not 4:4.

yes latter day saints

I would say jill saw it posted by someone else and reused it not knowing the source.

Jill should be spending some time with Exodus 32 these days. Her god's thoughts on false idols and what happens when he sees they are "stff-necked people are pretty clear.

Stiff necked - We are spiritually stiffnecked when we are hardhearted, stubborn, rebellious, or prideful.

Jill and Dave went to get Vietnam style coffee. I didn’t see any of the other kids there getting any. Gee how unusual for the rod parents to get treats while their kids get nothing. 

[oliviabenson]

Look how big Leon is getting. Her neck is huge!!! Swollen neck can’t be good. Plexus isn’t fixing that.

Jill see a real doctor. 

[oliviabenson]

You do not want to die and leave David alone do you? He will marry a blue haired woman who actually has a job. And can cook actual meals and not yellow greasy slop… 

 

Get well so you won’t leave David all alone.

Some sad news to report. Hallie Coverett Judge had a falling out with Ellen today over recent events. Hallie's post saying she both hated and loved Ellen was sad. Ellen was in the wrong with her gloating. I can see why it upset Hallie so much. 

They're no longer following each other on IG (they were earlier in the day).

Hallie also said something like Ellen loves politics more than she loves her family.  That made me think that they've been having issues for a long time.   Poor Hallie.

I don’t blame her. Team Hallie.

I felt this way about my dad before he passed away in 2019. Sad.

That's been going around a lot lately.

Also - shut up, Jill.  And dance yourself right into a drainage ditch.

That is  pretty bad. I do my own nails and they don't look professional occasionally but they don't look like that.

Just to lighten the mood away from politics.

Old post from Jill Dec 2020 on what they do with the seasonal pumpkins they buy. They are for decoration and then....the horror begins. Is baking pumpkin seeds with globs of butter a real thing?

"Our yearly tradition. What we do with all of decorative pumpkins we set around outside to decorate for the Fall. Yum.

-Pumpkin Seeds

-Pumpkin Pies

-Pumpkin Soup"

I know you roast the seeds (I never have). I looked it  up and it seems you can toss them in light oil before hand but not pats of butter thrown on top. Correct me if I'm wrong. 

[anyasmom]

I have tossed mine in a small amount of oil.  I don't see how butter would work as well.  And I feel like those uncooked pie crusts are abnormally dark, like gray?  Maybe they have an added ingredient I don't use??

[Turquoise]

I have always tossed mine with a bit of oil & the seasonings I want to use. The globs would create a couple problems I would think: 1) some seeds would be drowning in butter while others got none, and 2) butter burns easier.

[Absolom]

I've roasted pumpkins seeds for years.  First you clean them and get the pumpkin goop off them.  She didn't do that.  Then lightly spray oil on the seeds or shake them in batches in a bit of oil. No glops of butter.  I shake a bit of seasoning over most trays.

I saw a recipe with melted butter. Jill is too lazy to even do that. And yes, they need to be cleaned!

I think melted butter only if they are going to be consumed immediately.  That wouldn't be a Rodriues problem.

Is she maybe using whole wheat flour?

My mom used to make pumpkin seeds for us when I was a kid.  Aside from thoroughly cleaning and rinsing the seeds, she'd lightly coat the baking pan with shortening or even use spray. Then, she'd spread the seeds out and sprinkle salt on them.  As others have noticed, pats of butter wouldn't distribute evenly and might burn before the seeds were done.

And that is (well was) a well known brand. Maybe they added something to it to turn it dark like that? Some plexus product? 

[oliviabenson]

Coffee? Food coloring? Bad lighting?

I don't bake so I don't know.

[laurakaye]

Whole wheat flour is more expensive and is a good source of fiber, vitamins and minerals.  So it seems incongruent with how Jill feeds her kids.

Jonathan looks like a big douche with his hair greased back like that. Why can’t he just wear normal hair?
 

Are we supposed to be so openly gleeful as great Christians? Where is the empathy for the other side?

Because the other side are sinners and not the right kind of Christians. When you are the right kind, you can be all smug and happy because you are going straight to heaven when you die. God loves you best. 

[merylinkid]

She's had those decorative pumpkins out for how long?    Where animals can chew on them and other things then just cuts them up to make ugly pies?

 

 

Welp, now we know why Ellen is still in Jill's Plexus downline.   They deserve each other.

Turned out Ellen isn't as accepting as we had hoped she'd be of her liberal, atheist, LGBT child.

I have toasted pumpkin seeds, and you are correct.  Just a little oil and some salt and toast them in the oven.  It is easier to go to the store and buy toasted pumpkin seeds, however.  I don't like all the mess.  I have never seen seeds or nuts "toasted" with butter.

That kitchen is a mismatched shit show.  There are 3 different backsplashes in that one little corner.

That’s not butter.  It’s an off-brand margarine, I’m sure.

If you’ve noticed, they’re now slicking Gideon’s hair back too.  Gawd, I feel so sorry for that poor baby.

I went back and looked at the pictures.  Are they leaving the pumpkin slim on the seeds and just cooking them in margarine?  And she lets her kids eat them?  I understand not wasting food, but I would think I would put my time and resources into cooking something more substantial than slimy seeds and gray piecrust.  But what do I know.  I had stranger food than that at my grandma's house (worst cook ever).

I just made some pea soup in the InstantPot, and I discovered that one of my cats loves peas.

Not a fan of pea soup (I have tried) but I love bean soup of any kind. 

My cat, who eats pretty much everything, leaves peas alone. 

[EmeraldGirl]

I don’t care if they have 20 backslashes, I just want each kid to eat one whole pie themself.

The "right kind of Christians" I know think they are going to be airlifted to heaven, leaving the majority of earth's people behind to suffer. No dying involved. I'm pretty sure Jill and David are in that camp because they talk about the glorious rapture. 

Jill's piecrust reminds me of something Earth Mother Christian Kelly Havens would make with buckwheat flour and chia seeds. Looks hard to chew and worse to swallow.

If heaven is full of the "right kind of Christians" and people like Jill and Jim Bob, I'm glad those people think I'm going to hell. Hell sounds like it will be full of decent, kind folks.

the whole picture is a photoshop fail by Jill "I have a knack for graphic design" Rodrigues. Or whomever put it together.

It's "Graphic design is my PaSsIOn!!!"

Jill's FB page is just a treasure trove of bullshit right now.  Does anyone else get the impression that Jill thinks she's actually going from living to a whole new place?  She makes it sound like you just move.  Fill up the golden U-Haul kids!!  Mahmo's on her way to 666 Narcissist Road, Heaven 12340.

Jill is selling more crappy outfits. I do think she got them for free and is trying to make some $. 

Date nights aren't cheap. 

[Salacious Kitty]

She's up to 12 sales.

Jill has the brass balls to post this cribbed list. It's pretty much everything Jill is NOT.
