But yeah, is grifting really that profitable? And when are her poor suckers going to wake up?

Remember we don't know what was sent directly to Jill for her poor ma.   Maybe those were the pennies she pinched and saved for this trip.

Nuri looks exhausted poor thing is leaning against the wall. But the grifting show must go on! 

Isn't she due next month? She doesn't look very big for being 8 months pregnant.

If I told you this was posted by Jill Rodrigues, would you provide ice for me after I bang my head against a wall?

Sadly some of the people on my Facebook page have posted this.

I can't help but think of the Gospel of Luke

 "Which of you men, if you had one hundred sheep, and lost one of them, wouldn't leave the ninety-nine in the wilderness, and go after the one that was lost, until he found it? When he has found it, he carries it on his shoulders, rejoicing."

that might be why they are using 99 and one percent, but I see this as meaning the opposite of what they want to say. Jesus cares just as much about that one as those 99.

She wants her right to be bigoted, racist, homophobic, and transphobic back.

I nearly choked to death on my coffee this morning when I saw that post on her Facebook page.  Like I’ve said before, she has no self-awareness whatsoever.  SMDH

Jill will no longer be friends with Kim.

But I thought that Christians are supposed to embrace the sinner?  To help them find their way (or way back) to righteousness?  This is her so-called “friend”.  True friends do not turn and run when people fall. They help them back up!  You ARE known (in part) by the company you keep. However, you are MORE known by your deeds and how you treat people. Christian or not, two DUIs in that little of a time (July and September from what I read) is not good. Kim needs help.  And Jill, as her friend, should stand by her, not dump her. I’m sure if Jill does dump Kim, Nurie will be encouraged to dump Hosanna.  Because sins of parents and all…

[Future Cat Lady]

It's funny in a way because people like Jill are always offended by how others live their life. But it's also dangerous because they want to impose their values on others and they don't want people to have choices.

[crazy8s]

Jill is offended by about 99.8% of everything about everything and doesn't hesitate to post about it and her boast on her supposed superiority and righteousness. Same for her "children" spouting about sluttish dress, etc. Tim wishing he could court his sisters because he can't find a women as perfect as them. Damn, pretty soon he will be paired with 15yr old Tessie for "dates".  (I suspect Renee is in a pre courtship or something that will be announced later this year)

So the baby's initials are KJB - as in King James Bible?  Weird.

Where I live we have a commercial size ice maker and I can supply you with all the ice you need.

[floridamom]

Oh wow, they went to Sea World in Orlando and ate at Bonefish? It that's the one across the street from Sea World, I have eaten there many times! We were there 2 weeks ago. I had no idea that the Rods were in such close proximity to me...a couple of miles, maybe. I think we have sat in that very booth with a view of the bar! BTW, they mix great cocktails!

[oliviabenson]

Barefoot and pregnant 

Why they place their kids in the corner by themselves?

[oliviabenson]

[YupItsMe]

I also put my high chair in the corner when I’m not at the table. I guess she pulls him closer to her at meal times. 
 

ETA: I think Nurie did a much better job with the new house than Jill did with the old one.

I prefer the way Nurthan decorated their house! Much nicer than Jill’s hoarder paradise barn with the upstairs attic 🤣 !

[Minivanessa]

I gotta say, that decor is not all that bad, IMO certainly not snarkworthy like JillR's insane levels of clutter and stuff. The color schemes in the bedroom, bathroom, and office show well in the photos. Jill may claim that it's "after her heart" but it's much better than her style.

I think it looks lovely. It isn't cluttered and gaudy like Jill's decorating. 

[oliviabenson]

If you live near Jill and want to sell plexus …

you can meet her !

Dream come true I tell you ! Xmas comes early !

[oliviabenson]

Get ready for Jill and Dave photoshoot at the beach! Nurie must have been the photographer? 

[Absolom]

Jill is still in algebra math mode with parsonage house.  

[madpsych78]

Careful, Jill, it almost looks like you're wearing pants in some of those pictures with Davey.

[oliviabenson]

Why is he wearing shoes and she is barefoot?

Well, sure, but in the photo, Nemo is in the high chair in the corner, with no one else in the room while MeMe takes a photo. Just seems like a weird place to stick a kid, especially since his Grandpa is literally sitting on the couch doing nothing while MeMe takes photos of the whole place.

[CherryMalotte]

I can't believe it - I have that same bedroom set, we bought new this summer.  We did not get the mirror or the side tables though, just the dressers and bed frame with headboard.  It wasn't cheap either, but even if they got it all on sale it still was probably around $2000 with taxes.  Gifted (or grifted) from the grandma fund?

Does David have his shoes up on Nurthan's sofa? I can't see well enough to know if it is socks or shoes. However it does possibly seem to be the same shoes he is wearing in the beach pictures.  Hopefully it is socks.

They listed their house as furnished, so I’m assuming this one came furnished. 🤷🏼‍♀️

I hope they don't have to replace or unstick the flapper in the toilet any time soon.  I'm not sure there is room to get your hand into the tank to do any kind of repairs. Otherwise the "parsonage house" is nicely decorated.  I'm glad Nurie was able to decorate without the aid of BME.

[BradandJanet]

I assume the parsonage house is rent free as long as Nathan stays at the church. The sale of their other house will put some money in the bank, a fact not lost on Jill. 

As for the beach photos, 🤮. David always has his shoes on at the beach. The photo with David's hand on Jill's ass and a leer on his face is just creepy. Hot times in Florida. 

[charmed1]

I thought a Sip and See was for people to come visit a mother and her newborn baby, sometimes with alcohol served.

Get your damn feet off the coach Dave.

The house isn't cluttered ... yet.  They are young and just starting out.   Give them time.  Nurie is already showing signs of her mother's tackiness with the stupid signs everywhere

What other model would Nurie know? Nathan will probably leave the decorating to her unless he hurts himself sliding into a wall on a throw rug or tripping over a basket filled with plastic flowers sitting in the middle of a room.

I have to go back to school because I read this as a basketball full of plastic flowers because that is something Jilly Bean would do.

Maybe he needs to sit down to tie his shoes, and he doesn't want to sit on the sand.

[ALittleShelfish]

For their huge photoshoot on the beach, David couldn't be bothered to take his mapquest printed directions out of his pocket?  

(IDK what's actually in his pocket, I'm just guessing he's a guy who still prints out his mapquest directions and carries them with him)

[beckie]

Whomever took those photos of them on the beach must have had a really strong stomach. I wouldn't have been able to stomach them kissing.

I think we should be grateful he keeps his shoes and socks on in all pictures.

[SMama]

Free rent is such an amazing opportunity to save as much money as possible, and most couples would do that. Sadly, BME & DBD are such vile grifters that their children are their marks. Those two lazy good for nothing amoebas will find ways to strip Nathan of as much money as they can. Nathan has Pa Keller who sold off Esther and Anna to losers, so no good role model there to teach him to put his foot down and look after his family.
