Because Jill grifted all she can on mas medical emergency. Ma now serves no use to grifter Jill.

Good thing ma has other kids…

She's getting more help from quadriplegic Amy than from her able-bodied blonde daughter. 

[oliviabenson]

I wonder if Jill will be treated the same in old age as Jill treating granny turtleneck.aka none of her kids visit consistently or take care of her.

Does anyone know when the next Jilly Bean stealing of the wedding presents is 🤬

Kaylee's wedding is in November. However, Jill's 25th anniversary is next month, so plenty of grifting opportunities there.

I figured Jill would celebrate her anniversary at the same time as Kaylee's wedding to draw attention away from Kaylee and capitalize on the number of guests. Has she decided instead to get a head start and exhaust the gift-giving pool before andKaylee even gets a chance?

I wouldn't put either scheme past Jilly Bean.

'I know we already had a party for our anniversary but my darling daughter felt that she just wanted to share her special day with me, sorry us, and demanded I, sorry we, do our vow renewal at the same ceremony as her wedding. Isn't that special!'

I could totally see Jill doing this.

Some version of this scenario is bound to happen! It already has, in different iterations!

Jill must receive piles of gifts and donations because she deserves them for being the best momma, wife and Meme ever. 

Jill must be the center of attention at all events because she's so beautiful, talented, modest, and godly. 

Jill just can't help being the most important person on earth.

She’s probably taking notes today on how to replicate HM Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral on a fundy grifter budget.

Ewwww.    We do not need that image.   And quite frankly DBD probably doesn't want it either.   There may be a good reason the baby factory shut down -- besides age.   Which could also be why Jill always exclaims how in love they are and what HUNK he is.   to maybe convince him to ever touch her again.

Pretty sure there is some passage in the Bible about keeping things to yourself, especially how holy you are.   Something about the Sagisees (sp?) and Pharisees showing up at the Temple with a whole lot of show and fanfare, and then Jesus being more impressed with the little old lady quietly praying in the corner.

Or Dave would get distracted about his joyfully available wife and would focus on the culinary treat that is edible underwear.

[oliviabenson]

There are edible bras too lol. That and a bottle of hummingbird juice is all Dave needs to be a happy hunk.

All kidding aside, Dave is grossly overweight, out-of-shape and always looks dead tired. He is clearly not a well man and it wouldn't surprise me at all if his libido has shut down. And if that's the case, I'm sure it's upsetting to Jill, who a). desperately wants another baby to prove she's still young and fertile and b).  undoubtedly needs to see herself as forever beautiful and alluring.

Which would compliment the replica version of Diana's wedding gown in the color black that she would wear, because we all know how much Jill loves the 80's.

Barbie Jill 🙄

[Salacious Kitty]

Nice humblebrag at the end there, Jill. They're your friends. You should know who's in full time ministry. But no, you're so self-centered that you don't really GAF. 

[BradandJanet]

Maybe some Catholic nuns, Buddhist monks, and Shinto priests will contact her. 

[oliviabenson]

At least she admits that she and Dave are unemployed grifters 🤣

[Nysha]

I think she wants to know which followers are in full time ministry so she has new grifting targets.

[oliviabenson]

How do you teach soul winning and bible handouts? Haha

Bingo new grifting spot. Jill is coming to your church asap!

England huh how adventurous…

She edited the post. Now it says FB friends instead. Someone probably pointed out the same thing you did.

They’re missionaries to a bunch of other Protestants? 🤣

[GeeGolly]

Clearly JillR is failing. The number of Christians is declining yearly and the prediction is Christians will be the minority in a couple of decades.

[BradandJanet]

What does Jill mean by "CLEAR" presentation of the Gospel? Oh. Probably the interpretation she believes in. 

Maybe JIll can find a Hungarian missionary connection for Phillip. If she can set him up, he/Jill won't have to waste money on that school education stuff.

that's it.   She is setting up new tours.

Also, so she can figure out who considers full time ministry with no other job  as a good thing so she can grift to like minded people who won't see her and DBD as lazy bums.

Dave looks better in profile than when he's stuffing his face! That 2nd photo is not the best photo of Jill, though it does look like a genuine smile.

[Ohiopirate02]

Reading Jill's caption, and I have questions.  Why is Gospel singular?  Why not name the gospel in question? And what the hell does clear even mean?  

[crazy8s]

The pastor guy has a post on his FB of the rods singing their fave Come on down to the Farm. 🙄

Hannah is attempting violin and Olivia attempting guitar. Yikes!!

He also has a video of them singing some mash up of Oh Susannah/Old Dan Tucker/and something else.

[satrunrose]

Interesting  to see the "There's nothing better than 'Old Fashioned' hymns" Rods branching out to folk songs and musical theatre from the 50s and 60s. Wonder what's behind that? Also, please call me when they move on to racy folksongs (Soldier, soldier, Won't you marry me) and Seasons of Love. That will be the entertainment of the year!

[crazy8s]

Maybe Sammers or Gabriel can get an Amish hat and do some Godly Christian rap ala Bin Seewald

[ginger90]

The person preaching  was Amish at some point, and was then saved. I find that quite interesting, in the grand scheme of Jill related things.

I've found that "preach the Gospel" usually means preaching the salvation story since Jesus life is written in the four gospel books.

[ginger90]

Sophia is playing house. She’s married, and this is her husband. She’s also pregnant. Jill points out that to have a baby, you have to be married, god’s order and all. So, Sophia explains, she got married, went on a honeymoon, and after the honeymoon she “figured out” that she was pregnant.

Screenshot from the video:

[GeeGolly]

So sad in a patriarchal cult way.

And they have fish? Don't they already have too many mouths to feed?

[merylinkid]

Oh god, that his horrifically sad.   Playing house fine.   All little girls do it.   but to be so specific about being pregnant?   What that house must be like with Jill's focus on pregnancy all those years and now focused on wanting another one.   UGH.    Honestly the mental abuse of these kids is scary.   Even if they get away from Jill, they will never be okay without a LOT of theory.

On the other hand, maybe Sophia was just doing the housework Jill won't and Jill made up the story because she saw somewhere on social media a complaint that she doesn't do any housework and the kids never play because she makes them do all the work?

[galaxygirl76]

 That broom is a more useful husband than David. Poor kid, she's still so little and so exploited by BME.

I hope a dentist has checked this child's jaw alignment to see if there is a problem. I'd hate to see her end up like Derick Dillard having a difficult jaw surgery as an adult.
