Who knows if Phillip has picked up BME's traits.

Probably, as we've seen evidence of her self-righteous, judgmental traits with Nurie and Tim.

I wonder if the boys who preached at the chapel service get a critique afterword.  Phillip's sermon sounds like it was completely inferior to the other four.  I wonder if he sees that or if he thinks they are off base? 

I would put money on Phillip feeling superior. He stuck to the KJV, only quoted KJV verses and preached only biblical interpretation or whatever they call it. If Mama was watching, she would think only his was the proper way to preach.

I didn't pay close attention to the others and their bible references when they read them, but I don't think they were all KJV. One of the guys had a quote from Robin Williams to illustrate a point he was making. I doubt Phillip has ever heard of Robin Williams. ☹️

I 100% agree that Phillip thinks he’s superior to all of his classmates.  I’m truly shocked that he’s still there!  I thought that after the first semester, he would have either run out of money and/or the instructors would have done something that Jill didn’t agree with so she made him drop out. Granted, I don’t know Phillip but IMO he seems devoid of any personality at all, much like his Dead Beat Dad.  I’ll bet he hasn’t made even one friend since he’s been enrolled in that school.  I DESPISE Jill for what she’s done to those kids.

I wonder if Phil ran to his Bible to see who these Robin and William guys are? 🤣

Oh I think Philip is the same as his parents. His sole purpose is to god bother people and feel superior to everyone he sees beneath him…

I still feel sorry for him and is buy him lunch but that’s it.

At a real college, I'd agree. At this place? Not so sure. They seem to operate on a shoestring.

[Lady Edith]

If there are computers, they probably are equipped with Covenant Eyes (or the educational equivalent) to prevent any students from researching taboo subjects.  
Also, Robin Williams?  They actually quoted Robin Williams?  Makes me think they did a search on a quotes site and had no idea who they were quoting. 

[Salacious Kitty]

Timcel has a dedicated FB! It's real, because Heidi and Ellen are friends, as well as various extended family.  

Know who's NOT a friend (yet)? MAHMO! 😂

The shirt is back on David lol. I thought he tossed it.

Why is Jill towering over that lady? Odd way to take a picture? Who took it? 
 

How nice that someone fed the Rids for free again lol.

I'm going to caption the "guys playing basketball" pic thusly:

The women all have the same eyebrows.  I guess it is a fundie thing and not just Jill

[merylinkid]

The pic of the little girls, the one's skin looks SO gray especially next to the other kids.   Something is not right.   Kids have different skin tones but not usually grey.

Also is the kid in the middle, the friend's kid?   If so it looks like mismatched clothing and unbrushed hair is a fundy thing too.  the child neglect among these dogly people is amazing.

I see Jill grifted at least a meal out of her "ordeal."   Oh big surprise the person is in her plexus line which means even more of the poor lady's money is going to Jill on the regular.

The guy actually had a sense of humor. He said when asked what he was going to preach about he told people Robin Williams. Then went on to say he saw a video clip of Robin Williams from an old interview. The quote was something along the lines of "I may not make a difference in this world, but if I can make a few people laugh along the way...."

I suppose now when he posts, it doesn’t have to begin with, this is Timothy Rodrigues…….

[scriggle]

How long has the little girl (Sadie? Sophie?) on the left been missing her teeth? It seems like her adult teeth should be coming in by now.

That one is Sophia, she is 7.  It was Sadie who is now 9 who seemed to be missing her front teeth for years.  When kids are looking as sad and malnourished as the Rods, it is hard to tell them apart.

[BradandJanet]

Sara Smith, the woman who fed the Rods, is in Jill's Plexus downline. She's hosted the Rods before and has appeared on Jill's Plexus Zoom gatherings. I don't think Jill has ever done anything for her and her family. 

[Westiepeach]

Jilly doesn't do anything for other people. People "do" for Jill...

[Meow Mix]

So JRod grifted her way through my state.  Hope she's gone now, we have enough to deal with.  Those poor little girls look like they should be in one of those Feed the Children commercials.

Thankfully, she does not grift her way through NC.  This is just a stop on their way back to Ohio.  I know they have previously visited Mount Airy, I wonder if the Smiths live near there.

I was going to say, I wonder where in NC she was?  I also wonder if that explains the schoolbus that has been parked in our local Walmart parking lot lately?

The Rods travel in an RV not a school bus. They are not as of yet infecting the whole of North Carolina with their grifting ministry, just finding like-minded people they can swindle out of gas money and a hot meal (maybe lodgings for one night) close to I77.  

[oliviabenson]

His mom is not his friend yet or any Dingus’s either. 
 

 

[crazy8s]

Neither is Heidi's sister Hallie or her husband Noah.

But many of mama's plexus down line are. Also Jonathan's SIL, owner of the lizard business....

Is the Dingus girl Tim was splashing with dirty water while swimming in the drainage ditch during one of the Rods' picnics upset that Timmy chose Heidi over her? 

I hope not. Ms. Dingus did not die from dysentery that day, nor does she have to spend the rest of her life listening to Tim drone on about women's clothes. She has much to be thankful for.

The fact that Jill is not a "friend" yet leads me to believe that she is running this Facebook Page and just saying it is Tim's.  Why would he be "friends" with a lot of her downline ladies?

I wonder why she didn’t do the same with her favorite, Nurie.

[CalicoKitty]

Just now, SMama said:

Maybe one of her downline ladies just showed her how to use Facebook.  So much for listening to her son-in-law's sermon about social media.  Maybe she didn't do a page for Nurie because she knows her husband would not like it.  Oh, wait, scratch that idea.  I don't think Jill cares about other people's feelings, at all.

[crazy8s]

Someone other than Tim must be allowing friends because there are several unmarried, pants wearing females among his "friends".

also Famy wanna be Hallie says Heidi, sister Hope and Mom are attending Jill's Ladies Retreat. Hallie is not.

The head of that creature looks like a wood cutout of a chicken but the feet are more lke a  duck wearing boots or shoes. Maybe she got them at a big markdown because the cutouts are damaged. But whtever they are supposed to be I don't think they are sparrows

She has well defined arms and knows her way around a rifle. I think Timcel is the one who should worry. JK
