But how will Jill stay so trim without buying the pink drink and resets from her wonderful company? 🤣

I’m sure JillyBean will find something much more wonderful than the pink drink. She will act like Plexus and her downline don’t even exist.

Orrrrrrr she will take the opportunity to talk about how she PRAAAAAAYED on it, and then post some verses, and go on about how she's only following the lord. And take her downline with her, because of course they will all pray on it. 

[laurakaye]

From what I can recall of Jill's zoom screenshots with her downline, she's only got about 7 or 8 people under her, so hopefully Joan from Akron sees the writing on the wall and bails along with the others when Jill does her 180 on Plexus because Plexus was mean to her.

But Jill flouncing off in a huff of Aquanet probably isn't going to garner her the dramatic outcome she's going to be looking for.  Here's hoping Plexus will ask, "Jill who?"

Doesn’t her downline have some dumb name like Sisters of the Singing Jaesus Soarklers? So I’m sure JillyBean will expect them all to follow her wherever.

Not sure if the children really sang. But when Jill told about it she said they did.

This was Sept 2019. they bought the barndo Dec 2019.

"We were kind to the social workers and even sang for them before they left. They left, telling us that we needed to come to their houses to show them how to organize and keep a clean house. I even gave the woman social worker a hug. ❤ They found food in our cupboards and running water…imagine that! LOL."

https://rodriguesfamilyministries.com/main/false-accusations-do-hurt/

"AND THEN! When they walked out the door ALL our neighbors had gathered round to share their TESTAMONY about how GAHDLY the RodriguesFamilyForJesus singers are and they ALL CLAPPED as the social workers walked by! AND then JESAUCE HIMSELF called down from Heaven "THIS IS MY DAUGHTER JILL WITH WHOSE WOMB I AM WELL PLEASED, LISTEN TO HER."

Plexus won't  care enough to even ask that.

Maybe that's the new scam, signing the girls up making them do all the work, but she takes all the money.   Of course, she won't get the perks, but I am sure she will figure a way around that.

I guess that's dead now. 😂

Did her Curdled Cream etsy shop ever reopen its doors since it was in "vacation mode" for a month or so?

[laurakaye]

Slightly off topic, but I picked up a new fiction book at the library called "Death in the Downline" by Maria Abrams.  It's pretty entertaining, a fun read.  I see definite similarities from the fictional MLM in the book to Plexus (and LuLaRoe), for sure.

Just checked. Still in vacation mode, despite them being home for nearly a week. 

[CalicoKitty]

I agree.  Plus, I wonder if there is still a lot of tension between Jill and Heidi's mom. Maybe Jill has not been as successful in her sales, and she quit.  Jill has to be on the top.

I’m proud of Heidi for not getting roped into Plexus. 

[Salacious Kitty]

I don't think there's tension between Jill and Ellen. Ellen appeared frequently, if not every week, in Jill's Friday night zoom calls.

But Mr. Mullet/blue jeans isn’t doing anything for me. He couldn’t even put on the traditional hokey suspenders and bowtie? To each their own, but I would be cutting his hair in the middle of the night.

Until I read this, I thought his hair was leaves and bushes in the background.

I looked forward seeing what hideous outfits Jill put together lol. I guess just like with everything else she quit the boutique too.

OMG.  She even matches in skin hue that man that she would kiss the feet of!

[crazy8s]

On the David Jill fb was the plexus link ever an active link? It isn't now, at least for me. Ellen's still is.

As far as the Ivory Cream "modesty" shop - I expect Jill  is focused on the Retreat for Ladies in the moment and will have a rack of the weird outfits there so she can push the sales in person. What's left will become mismatched outfits of whatever is left.

[BradandJanet]

Didn't Jill recently repost that silly story about the Russians drilling a hole to the center of the earth and a microphone (on a verrrrry loooong cord) lowered into the hole caught sounds of screaming from the depths of hell? 

I remember Jill saying that a demon escaped from the hole.

Behold the demon caught on camera!

Aww, our Lonesome Dove seems to have lost her sparkle.  Bless her heart.  At least she will always have her number one job to fall back on: sabotaging her own children.

I just looked and the plexus link in her “About info” works. Is it somewhere else on there?

[CouchPotato]

Jill has claimed to run her Plexus “business” for the benefit of her family so watch her quit because *she* didn’t get to go on a cruise.

[oliviabenson]

Jill's new outfit includes (new?) boots.

looks like new hair too.

[oliviabenson]

I had to crop the pics too much. 

business night aka joining a new MLM scheme. Jill has obviously left plexus.

She is probably still selling plexus to unload her plexus stash.

[oliviabenson]

why is Jill so close to a man that's not family? scandal!!! where is David?

I guess they're Melaleuca reps? I think we all knew Jill wouldn't let Kaylee and Renee do it on their own. Too much independence. 🙄

[oliviabenson]

🙄

I think she is claiming she earns $1000 in a week and a half aka 11 days.

they are 3 sisters remember? they have to do everything together! and give sister Jill all the profits! so maybe that $1000 is earned among the 3 sisters.

Jill lies so who knows what the actual earnings from MLMs are. 

all I can see is rage when it comes down to sister Jill and David. once again she wasted $ to buy herself new things and hair and new MLM stash. and her kids look like starving refugees wearing rags.

where does Jill gets so much $?

It's a shame that's Jonathan is so spineless and dim. why is he allowing Kaylee to join another MLM and lose even more $. 

[oliviabenson]

Old picture of Jill. 

[BradandJanet]

Business night out with my girlies.

In what kind of business would Jill's tight yellow outfit with the plastic boots be appropriate?

That would be a hoot. I thought Plexus was the friendliest, most Christian, most generous, most gut-friendly company on earth. Wasn't Jill sitting on the toilet when God brought Plexus into her life?

If Jill has switched companies, it was in a snit about the trip she didn't get. She spent years working up to "gold" in Plexus, and now she's starting over in another MLM?

The starter kit for new sales reps costs several hundred dollars, and Melaleuca has strict sales quotas. Oh, well. Bye, bye dreams of sailing with the Plexus gemstone rank holders. 

[Salacious Kitty]

Yeah, Kaylee previewed what was likely the starter kit. Several cleaners, makeup, etc. 

[oliviabenson]

@BradandJanet I forgot that Jill was on the toilet when plexus entered her life.

[CalicoKitty]

So, if Jill is making that much money, and all the trips and perks, why does she still beg at churches?  Why do her children look like starving waifs?  Why are people still donating money to her?  Why is the Clearinghouse not lowering her "salary"?  I wonder if she does her own taxes, or if someone helps her.  I wouldn't advertise income on line.

[Salacious Kitty]

Jill recently bragged that Dave does the taxes using TurboTax. Of course, they could be under reporting her Plexus income. 

This new company doesn't allow its reps to say the company name. They can use the brand names of the products. They also encourage customers to DM them for a link to the website. Sounds kinda hinky to me.
