Jill was in hog heaven! A free dinner and 3 chances of her being on stage/center of attention!

And her beloved hunk preached! 

During her speech, she talks about how Christians are supposed to be hard-working yet she’s married to a deadbeat sloth, who hasn’t had a real job in years.

[Salacious Kitty]

New post up for DBD's birthday (which was Monday). Jill refers to herself as Your Dove. Have we heard that one before? 😂

[GeeGolly]

How does "non-worldly" Jill explain the importance she placed on her daughters having 'proper' curly hair for years and now the only curl insight is on her head?

So which sermon did Dave pull out of the file cabinet for this gig?   He's so lazy he probably doesn't even update his stock sermons.   

[oliviabenson]

Mmm hi all I want to talk about my love of Taco Bell and McDonald’s.  Thanks for listening and now give me $ cuz I live Jesus!

-Dave

(winking at Jil)l: babe we be eating good tonight at the Olive Garden. Xoxo your hunky Dave. 

$5 says Dave got a real cake and dinner for his birthday.

[BradandJanet]

Did Dave get a plastic cup of pudding with 51 trick candles stuck in it? 

He probably wouldn't even remember Jill's birthday if she didn't make such a big deal about it. She has to plan her own party and write her birthday love letter from Babe every year 'cause he's too busy leading his home from the comfort of his recliner to get up and do anything.

I didn’t watch all of it. One part was living daily, not worrying about next month or next year, or about retirement. Then how Christians are persecuted, fighting the war.

I guess a bunch of unemployed, uneducated kids with dozens of hungry kids of their own is a sound retirement plan.

Well that's pretty much not in the Bible.   There is a parable about planning ahead.   Its the bridesmaids at a wedding.   Some planned ahead and had extra oil for torches, some didn't.   The message was -- you know not when he will come, so be prepared.   Not just hope it will all work out.

But it explains so much about the Rods.   No need to work,  go on vacation all the time because you need to live for today.   Tomorrow someone else will feed your kids and fix your crappy RV.

They're persecuted because we don't live under a fundie theocracy.

[oliviabenson]

Well look at Jill’s parents retirement plan… they shuffle between Amy and Jill. 
 

That’s Jillvid plan they will visit their kids aka mooch off until both Jill and Dave die . 
 

Can you picture Jill at 60 selling plexus?

[crazy8s]

The part I listened to was about the day, but more with the take of you had to show up everyday, be a christian everyday, live your beliefs everyday. Not part time it.

For the rods that would mean what??

Being judgemental of others, handing out tracts, god bothering people, praying to the lord to bless them with grifting opportunities to "share their ministry" everyday.

Maybe Isolate their kids everyday, buy and shoot weapons to show they are true patriots?

The biblical story of the ten talents wisely seems lost on them as they mostly seem seem to perform for and grift among those with like beliefs, and hand out worthless tracts people throw away

They want everyone to be living the same as they are.  Otherwise, we're of the Devil with our ungodly laws allowing abortion and same sex marriage.

No, but they are offended that the rest of the world that doesn't agree with them has the audacity to go out in public and live their lives without considering the poor fundies who are offended by their very existence.  Hence, all the griping about women wearing short sluttish skirts and regular swimsuits on the beach.  People who like listening to music with a beat, who are not going to fall to the floor in a faint if they hear a swear word or see a movie that shows unmarried people having sex. Muslim women who cover their heads in public, Jewish men who wear yarmulkas.  Gay and transgender people out there in public, attending concerts and films, living in neighborhoods with non-gay people, teaching school, running for office and thinking they should be legally able to marry.  How dare they!  Everyone needs to climb back into their closet so the fundies don't get the vapors over people who are not just like them.

God will reward stalwart Christians like Jill and David because they fought valiantly and suffered greatly in the War on Christmas. 

Sadly, despite the Rods' many sacrifices, holiday cards and signs in stores that proclaim "Happy Holidays" and "Seasons Greetings" still exist!  Grammar took a hit, however, when semiliterate leaders refused to rename the ambiguous War on Christmas with the more accurate War Against Christmas, leaving many of the enemy shaking their heads in confusion.

Jackson Bates and his fiancee are removing their Target registry because of their LGBTQ views. (Clothing for pride month). Will they boycott Amazon when the documentary comes out, too? Their cult has hurt way more people than Target ever will. Grow up. 

[satrunrose]

I've never considered buying anything for our pet fundies, but now I so want to buy Master Bates and his soon-to-be-helpmeet pairs of matching rainbow love socks in celebration of their nuptials.

Jill’s kids always look depressed/dead eyed/unhappy.

Tessie's got a full face of makeup. I guess that's allowed at 15? Or is she 16 now? At any rate, it's the first time I've seen her tarted up. Sad.

Oh he supports it wholeheartedly.   Jill didn't like that he went off to work every day and did stuff that didn't include her.  So she decided god called him to full time ministry.   He was all "You mean I don't have to go to work every day to support our growing family, I can sit home and stare at the map all day and eat all I want?  Heck yeah I want to be a minister."   

I think God dialed the wrong number when he called Dave to the ministry.   The guy has no interest in actually preaching.  Or even being a printer for god.   He just does the bare minimum to get by and certainly doesn't put in any effort to improve or grow as a preacher or a printer.

So they do from eyebrows at 14, to full face stage makeup the next year. Great mothering, Jill.

Not a single ounce of joy or spirit shows in the faces of those children. They're sad animals in a zoo or in a performing circus--just existing. Jill and David are complete failures as parents and as human beings.

Jill said the plexus convention in Nashville is $128 for a Airbnb. The ticket to the convention is free as Jill’s guest. 
 

So guess Dave and the kids will be sleeping in the rv near by?

They're taking the kids to Nashville? Can't Renee and Kaylee handle the daughter-mom thing while Jill and Hunk run off for yet another romantic vacation?

What will the convention cost Jill to attend? Not much is free in Plexus World.

Pretty sure Jill makes up her own pet nicknames.  I can't see Dave trying to get her attention like that: "Hey, Jilly Bean?  Could you be a dove and refill my hummingbird juice and while you're at it, make me a nice plate of tacos?"  I feel it's more like him just grunting and pointing while she flutters her eyelashes and giggles.

I hate that I noticed this but I think the close-up of Tessie was zoomed in and cut from the picture of her with her siblings - like Jill saw the original picture and wanted to make sure everyone got a good eyeful of her newly for-sale daughter looking fetching with her fancy eyebrows and overdone makeup.

Dang, I hope at least one of these poor girls escapes Jill's makeovers and subsequent bargaining to the highest-ranking Fundie guy she can find.

Jill now has another Plexus shilling instagram in which she is wearing minimal makeup (looks like lash extensions though) and she looks SO MUCH BETTER without the ringed eyes and 50 gallons of foundation. The eyebrows are still wrong, but I think she might do better grifting like this. People probably would be more receptive to the minimal makeup than the town Trollop. (Well, until she starts talking…)
