If a person/family was never featured on any of the Duggar shows, and is not related to the Duggar family by blood or marriage, they do not need to be discussed here..

We may all agree that David Rodriques is quite unfortunate looking, but let's refrain from comparing human beings to apes, its got way too much of a loaded history- please review the new Inclusion Policy updated May 1, 2022 , which details guidelines around discussing body type, capabilities, physical appearance etc. Additionally, using body size as an insult is not allowed.

And in case you were worried, she also said this new company is not woke. Although I’m sure she has no idea what that means. We all need these products and how easy it is to buy through her. But it’s not an MLM. Any guesses on how long this will last? AndKaylee hasn’t posted (that I’ve seen) about this stuff in awhile, is she already done?

I agree, the accident was scary and I don't blame her for being upset about it.  It's just that her first instinct, upon arriving at the hospital ER, was to photograph her daughters lying on backboard

In what way would ANYONE other than this idjit consider vaginal birth to be 'non-conventional'.  Even in this day and age, most births are vaginal.  As to the 'little to no pain meds', once again, sou

Wasn't she complaining recently in one of her "Weeping Jilly" videos how busy she was being a perfect wife, mother, and Christian, etc., but now she is hustling two MLMs? Either Jill isn't as busy as she claims, or she and David are struggling financially more than their recent trip to Epcot and her new wardrobe would suggest.

I'd like to know what she thinks "woke" means since she bothered to mention it. Are there no people of color, people with college degrees, women with professional positions, unmarried adults, non-Christians, or LGBTQ people selling and buying this stuff? That's a tough business model to sustain, so Jillybean might be surprised who her fellow Melaleucites are.   

Are there no other countries who would take this stupid, bigoted woman, or are we stuck with her?

I have mentioned on here that my friend who is into plexus is gay! He has been with his partner for around 20 years! And he got to go on the cruise. He goes to all the events. Everyone seems to love the guy. Maybe he is more successful because he isn't a stupid, bigot like her?

Good thing the churches feed them otherwise the kids wouldn't eat at all on these trips.  

I hope this isn't why Jill keeps her kids so skinny and dresses them like she's just purged the Goodwill trash bin - because she knows their appearance might translate into bigger donations - which she will then turn around and use to buy herself something nice like a trip with Hunk to Epcot, or another shiny espresso machine for one of her coffee bars, etc.

To be clear, I think this is exactly what she's doing but the ramifications make me sick.  She's got at least two waifs whose skin coloring looks like that of a consumptive Victorian child.

Now Jill is against strong chemicals lol. Ma’am your poop chair needs bleaching on the regular basis. As does the rest of your house… you have 2 dogs and like 12 adults there spreading germs.

Not to mention some of the stuff she buys at the dollar store might be toxic.

Reality tv is like everything else it has its trends.   The big ass family with cute kids has run its course.    The newest trend is finding romance in the weirdest of places.  If Jill is that desperate for fame she should try to get one of her daughters to fall in love with a guy in prison.   Maybe Love After Lockup or Farmer Wants a Wife  will be more her speed.  Heck considering the way she treats  them her kids would think Survivor was a cake walk.

I really worry about Jill promoting Plexus to pregnant and nursing mothers.  I hope we don't discover that there are children with problems due to Plexus poisoning.  Time will tell, unfortunately.

Well, we know that Kaylee was using Plexus when she was pregnant, and Gideon came at 32 weeks.

eta Saw the wiki page for the founder/former CEO. He's a thrice married Mormon and, as one would expect knowing Jill, a major bigot. I can't link here since lots of political content is included.  His name is Frank VanderSloot for anyone who is curious.

 

Well that wiki page was an eye opener!!! Thanks for mentioning it. I wonder if Jill has read about the 99% who actually lose money?

I've seen other huns tout Plexus during pregnancy and nursing. I can't remember the exact claims now, but the shit is being sold that way despite Plexus itself saying not to use during pregnancy.

I just read that and wondered why not one of them could have looked it up to see what a loser this is. You don’t even have to look up the company, it’s on Vandersloot’s wiki page! She didn’t even look up that guy before she joined the company? The FDA has been after them for false claims and being a pyramid scheme. 0.29% of distributors make money. Ding dong.

Some people just don't think. My friend's husband (who was in Amway at one point), went to a friend's house and saw a presentation on a MLM for vitamins. He handed over $500 then and there to get started. She told him if he wanted to keep their marriage he would get his money back. He did.

The "founder" of this vitamin scheme? Kevin Trudeau. Look him up. He even spent time in jail.

1.  Jill never investigates anything or plans long term any of her business ventures.   She just does "what god tells her to do" i.e. lurches from one venture to another with no thought or plan.

2.   Part of the failure to investigate is that she has no intellectual curiosity at all.   She knows what she knows, period.   She is uninterested in learning more, even if she were taught critical thinking skills.

3.   Even if she did have the capacity to read it (and I think she is probably only slightly above functionally literate) she wouldn't believe it.   Because it doesn't fit her preconceived notions (see 2).   

In other words, everyone in the world could tell Jill she is going to lose money on MLM schemes and she will just keep trying.

one plexus hun (not Jill) was giving her young kids plexus. I think it was plexus slim but I don't remember. 

Jill and David are so allergic to actual work that they rather waste $ monthly on mlms. 

I'm sure the youngest son is now 18 and can work. It seems Samuel and Phillip work and give Jill their paychecks. so Jill can have 3 sons paychecks for herself.

I remember someone trying to push those special vitamins on me at an outrageous price.  ::smh::   No wonder Jill thinks she can hoodwink people forever with her grifting since she can't see through the MLM patter and is falling into another one.

Between her bi-weekly vacations, shilling donated clothes on the Cream of Wheat Boutique, running not one but two MLM's, crashing attending church services, bilking people out of retreat money, filming herself for the socials, farming out her spinster unmarried daughters, and keeping her Hunk fed with uncooked chicken and bird juice, it's a wonder she has time to cook and homeschool her kids!

Jill probably sets up a table to every place they go to with her stuff to sell. and her oldest girls are in charge to try to sell stuff to anyone who enters a church. 

and her visits to churches to grift has shrunk in my observations. 

They only visited 3 or 4 churches the entire time they were in Florida, not counting Nurie's church. Pretty pathetic, but goes to show that it really is just a glorified vacation not a "singing tour." 🙄

She introduced her new crap, which she says is not MLM,  in the same video she was plugging Plexus. “As much as I love my Plexus products, I needed more.” She addressed this,  “to any of you crunchy people out there”.

Crunchy? And how is it not MLM?

She also claims to be a FULL TIME missionary. Does she know what words mean?

I think if Jill is willing to turn a blind eye to her very favorite president's multiple marriages and ...other life choices, then I don't think Mr Melaluca's misdeeds will bother her in the least.  

Then I guess “conservative” is just one more word she doesn’t understand.

I wonder how much of that vacation they attempted to write off on their taxes (or will attempt to for 2025)? Gas, vehicle maintenance costs, food, etc.

I would only wear those shoes in black. And they would be cute with jeans shorts, or a long flowy skirt. Not that tight striped monstrosity Jill put on. That really shows her weight gain too with horizontal stripes! I have always liked a little bit of a platform because I like to be taller, even though I’m already 5‘11“.

And why does she constantly wear hose anyway? Her girls don’t. Although sometimes they are seen with leggings with no feet and long skirts. Ridiculous.

I think, after 13 kids, Jill's legs probably look like a Texaco roadmap of varicose veins and she wears hose to cover them so she can continue to pretend that people mistake her for being the same age as her daughters.  She could get vein surgery, but maybe has some sort of Christian insurance where she'd be expected to pay upfront and the company would reimburse her, maybe.  Jill pays for nothing, ever, even if she might get paid back.  She's probably on the lookout for a vascular surgeon to do it for free.

nothing new from Jill. not even an ad for MLM.

Covid? Trouble with Plexus or Melaleuca sales and payments? Cancelled by a church or two on the singing circuit? Spent the proceeds from the Ladies' Retreat on hoodie blouses and decorative junk too soon? Pulled from being in charge of the Ladies' Retreat? Government benefits or services the Rodriguii need and use suddenly cancelled? 

Satan's attacks on Jill are endless. None of her troubles are her fault in any way, of course. I'm sure we'll find out unless the situation is too embarrassing for even Jill to talk about. 

ETA: Reddits says the Rods are in the van on tour again. That doesn't make any of the above speculation impossible, of course.

How do her roots always manage to end up looking dirty and crunchy?
 

Her face just makes me itch. I hate foundation, and only put on little tiny dots if I have uneven skin. I couldn’t stand that full face every day in her weird orange color.
