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.

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

Yesterday and today are student recruitment days at Phillip's Bible college. Prospective students are on campus for lots of preaching and some off campus fun at the roller rink this afternoon and pizza blast and indoor trampoline place tonight. Cost is $30 per student. I think I spy with my little eye both Sammers and Gabe sitting with Phillip.

Massillon is now offering a "rapid start" course for HS students who plan to attend Massillon after they graduate. They can earn 9 credits while in HS. So Gabe would be eligible.

I wonder what the family weakness is that Jill referred to? Too Godly? 

Heidi's sister does look over it. I've seen her tiktok videos - she seems quite thirsty for the attention her videos have been getting due to the new proximity to the Rods. She often wears a wig for some reason and puts the camera way too close to her face in her videos. She made one that says they are NOT engaged, but I think she's lying. She's pretty young herself and from a fundie family, so who knows? 🤷‍♀️

When/Where did Jill say that there was a weakness in the family?

The retreat was $250?

Someone correct me if I’m wrong, but I would swear that I saw a FB post that said that.  My apologies if I’m mistaken.  Regardless of the cost, I’ll bet there were women there who saved money all year in order to be able to attend.  And regardless of the cost, I’ll bet that Jill pocketed a good chunk of the money that those poor women worked hard to save.  The disgust that I have for that self-righteous, judgmental, arrogant bitch is immeasurable.

Is this retreat sponsored by some organization, or is it all Jill?  I'm sure she comes out ahead financially in any case.

It ALL goes to Jill.

It was such a JOY to have the Coverett Ladies come to the Ladies' Retreat!  Words CANNOT express how much they mean to me / us!  😉😊🥰  They love our family in spite of our short comings and weaknesses.  They have welcomed Timothy with open arms.  They are kind.  We are blessed!  ❤️❤️  I am tickled pink that Timothy is in a courtship with Heidi! 😉 God is Good and Faithful!  😁

Oh, yes.  I remember that now.  Jill’s grifting for an ego stroke with that comment.  She’s waiting for people to tell her that she and her family are perfect, with no shortcomings or weaknesses at all!

I think that is the cheapest salad that is offered. I would hope they have an upgrade available because that would p--- me off if I paid for it! 

The cheaper the meal, the more money that Jill gets to put in her pocket.  Those women are oblivious to Jill’s Women’s Retreat scam.

I do love some roller skating. Hope they got to go. 

This outfit is a travesty. Also, pretty damn tight-fitting!

Ah, but the “dressing sluttish” rules are for everyone else. Certainly not for Most Godly Jilly. Everyone knows she is the golden child of Jesus, no?

If that is Phillip in the middle, then he’s definitely gained some much-needed weight since attending Bible school.  Isn’t it funny how every Rod offspring who leaves home, for whatever reason, tends to gain weight and look healthy?  If that doesn’t prove that Jill isn’t feeding her kids enough, then I don’t know what would.  That bitch is starving her kids, along with many other atrocities.

If it's a Renee courtship, my guess is Luke Lieghley. Lives in ohio and the rods visited their church a week or so ago. Gabe sang in some all guy singing group video. There was a video or Jill's fb but i don't see it now.

Is that the family where the boys went waterskiing and the girls went to a “ladies’ meeting “?

It's funny to me how Jill teases/announces that she'll make an announment on a certain day instead of just telling her news. It's like she thinks she's in her own TV show. She's obviously doing this for her "audience".

Or maybe everyone does this?  I'm not on SM and I have nothing to announce so I have no idea how these things work.

People do it, but normally for clicks on a monetized account. Jill doesn’t have any monetized accounts.

She normally gives a time, and then posts it late. Nail biting time I tell you! 🤦‍♀️

That does not look like hotel food.  It looks like someone used a crockpot, boiled pasta and added a jar of ragu, and opened a can of corn.  

That pasta looks exactly like the cheap banquet food I've had at many a wedding in Northeastern Ohio.  I've normally had dry, rubbery chicken as the protein where I've kept the cute bowl of salad dressing to dip my chicken into.  I will say that corn looks more appetizing than the normal zucchini, onions, and squash medley that tastes like the sterno used to keep it warm.

I have a lot of social media friends and I’ve never seen one of them do that “let’s leave them in suspense” thing that Jill does.  The woman truly believes that she’s a famous celebrity.  The insanity runs very deep with her.  I would love for a well-respected psychiatrist or psychologist to spend 24/7 with Jill and her family for about a month, and then write a book about it.  That’s a book I would buy!

They call it “main character syndrome” - SM shorthand for the tendency of users to identify as the protagonists in their own life stories. It snarkily implies that sufferers are delusional, self-obsessed, and worthy of derision.

**BIG announcement!**

It is with GREAT joy we announce that our sweet and beautiful daughter Renee is in a courtship with a wonderful young man!  ❤️ They have been getting to know each other the past few months and it has been beautiful to watch them fall in love with each other, with Christ at the center.  😊  

Right now, this special young man has requested to remain anonymous. 🤫 He will "go public" once they are engaged.  We want to lovingly honor his request and give them this quiet time of leaning heavily into their relationship with each other and God. ❤️

Let us say this though, he DEEPLY loves God and has has honored David and I and Renee in every way!  He is a gem 💎 and we are THRILLED God brought him into Renee's life!  😊

Please join us in congratulating Renee and her "mystery man" on this joyous occasion!  😊 

Below are flowers 💐 he got Renee and a heart rosin for her violin in honor of their new courtship.  ❤️ God is Good!  

More to come in the future!  Stay tuned!  😉

His nails are longer than hers.

If he's aspiring to be a preacher (aren't all those fundie guys in the Rods' circles aspiring preachers?), his nice smooth hands won't be scuffing up the pages of his Bible. In the meantime, she'll be using her hands to wash, clean, cook, sew, and take care of all the other womanly household tasks that dog has ordained it's her duty to do for her headship. While of course keeping herself lovely. 

I doubt Renee will escape Jill's clutches in any meaningful way, unless Jill for some reason loosens her grip on Renee. Renee's had 20 years of conditioning and indoctrination that links her firmly to her mother. I doubt her (if it happens) marriage to some young fundie guy will make a dent in that.
