What's the story behind this shirt? Is it one of Jill's craft projects? What is the print--leopard pattern? lipstick prints? random variations on circles? How do the flowers fit in? Why does this shirt even exist? 

It exists so Jill can BOOOOOOOOBS you about “her Jesus.”

So I had to look up the original post - eek!. Timbits was indeed turning 14. It is so helpful their blog has a search box to narrow things down. Typing Timothy's Birthday brings me this post that includes the sad debbie cakes and so much more.

Can you imagine if she was smart enough to run (and understand) analytics on her blog?  Can you imagine what she'd do if she could figure out how to see what people are searching for?  Because I can't, but I want to believe she'd absolutely go on a rant for MONTHS about how evil everyone else in the world is and we are all SEVERELY persecuting her gahdly fahmily.  😂

Jlll snippily told one of her followers that "[She] ordered it." Didn't say from where, but someone found it on TEMU. 

I found it, or pretty close to it, on TEMU at Vintage Creations among pages of similarly mind-numbing offerings--and some very short shorts. The stuff seems to be geared to a country aesthetic (probably why Jill wanted it for her trip), but leopard print doesn't exactly scream Nashville or cowgirl. And it's polyester. This shirt is straight from a low-rent Chinese factory, so Jill must think Jesus approves of people laboring in sweatshops to make tacky shirts bearing His name. 

The upside is that Jill is going to give her Amish neighbors some great material for gossip.

More $ spent on her tacky self

She should have bought pink cowboy boots 🙄

[CalicoKitty]

But--her daughter(s) are trying to make money selling earrings.  Couldn't they do a custom order for her?  Or will be seeing poor copies of these on their Etsy site soon.

She did wear a pair of Renee's earrings earlier in the conference. 

Her picture is next to the word TACKY in the dictionary.

On Reddit there was a link to a Behind MLM article about a speaker at a Plexus Conference 4 years ago stated distributing Plexus was a mission from God.  I got a kick out of his name, Bob Heilig.  Heilig means holy in German.   https://behindmlm.com/companies/plexus-distributors-told-their-business-is-an-assignment-from-god/

If confronted, Jill would probably claim that the birthday "cakes" made out of Little Debbies are a "family tradition" and that the kids would be disappointed if they didn't get one.

You are right.  Years ago, she posted a picture of some more artfully stacked snack cakes along with the caption that the birthday kid requested the exact cake!

What does she use to remove her eye makeup - turpentine?  

I wonder how much she spent on herself just getting ready for this conference - several pairs of boots, tacky flower boob shirt, a variety of "western" clothing, hats and jewelry, gifts for her downline, her nails, enough cash to keep Dave fed, etc.

Meanwhile Renee gets a box of Dollar Store snack cakes and some used candles for her 21st.  Priorities.

[Tigregirl]

Jill has an IG post of her and some conference attendees screeching hymns.  I’m sure she was hoping some producer would hear her and sign her to a recording contract on the spot.  I would not be too thrilled to be at a conference and be bombarded with that.  Yes, there are beautiful hymns out there but there’s also a time and place.  She said they sang for an hour.  Ugh.
 

Honestly, had she had some voice lessons growing up, and a chance to sing in school choirs, etc., she may not be half bad.  But everything she sings is LOUD - she has no idea about dynamics, expression, etc.  That, and she always needs to make sure hers is the prominent voice.  So maybe choirs would have never been her thing, because she couldn’t always be the star.

 

Anybody else think the gaudy pink cowboy hats are what she bought for her down line?  

[CouchPotato]

I put more thought into my dogs' birthdays than Jill puts into most of her kids' birthdays. 😪

That makes sense. If a kid can grab a little cake and fade into the background with it, kid will probably get to eat the little cake. Slices are so uncertain. After papa and momma get their pieces, nobody knows what will be left and who will get it.  

How did Jill's Plexus weight reset survive the convention? She and Dave must have mooched and even paid for three meals and several snacks each day. These two don't hold back on spending for themselves.

[anyasmom]

If I had to choose between a store bought Swiss cake roll or a birthday cake made by Jill, Little Debbie would easily win.  I would want mine still sealed though.  Once she's touched it, it's already too questionable for me.

I can imagine Jill with hat and boots on (perhaps nothing else) yelling "giddyup cowboy!"

My new nightmare: Jill the cowgirl and her plexus minions chasing me down with tracts and plexus and singing loudly about Jaysause!

Was that old fart she was pictured with, a diamond level?  Ooh, Jill must have been star-struck.

A Redditor tried to guesstimate what selfish witch Jill spent on her vacay with her hunk.  I was appalled.  Just think of what that tarted-up cow could have done for her children she claims to love so much!

He got to go to the NICE banquet with the two sister wives and assorted other jewels.

I thought there was a banquet for the metals, but Jill hasn't posted any pictures of her with food. I wonder if she skipped the banquet this year? 

Would have loved to have seen her formal get up. 😂

When they were “singing” at the table, each woman had a plastic container with some snacks and such. I couldn’t really tell what was in them, but I saw Crunch 'n Munch. I think this was the something special for her “team” that she mentioned. 🤷🏼‍♀️ Perhaps the hats were also.

Pretty hard to miss her display. Yikes!

Jill got ruby earrings and a blouse from a person in her upline. Jill's downline got  Crunch 'n Munch, a tacky hat, and some assorted trinkets from a dollar store in Ohio. No one at the jewel banquet opened a gift bag to find a three-dollar pink cowboy hat edged in white fuzz. 

The situation says a lot about Jill and about MLMs in general. 

Speaking of uplines, I bet Diamond Guy stayed very close to Christine all evening. Her dress was an accident waiting to happen. 

[oliviabenson]

Jill probably sold those ruby earrings for $!

We never saw her wear them did we???

[Westiepeach]

Wow. Ruby earrings -or- Crunch ‘n Munch. Wow. I wish I were in JillPM’s down line… 🙄

He followed Christine around like hunk would follow a plate of taco belle around, hoping for an eyeful or mouthful lol.

I wonder if Christine had a Wardrobe malfunction lol.

Because Jill/birdwiseiser drinker do not like spending $ on their kids. Even if Jeysause tells them to feed their kids, Jilldo and birdie will be deaf to that request.

I don't know about everything she bought, but I can tell you her white feather earrings cost $1.67 at Temu. 

[oliviabenson]

So neat! 🤢

 

She signs her name like a 12 year old.

[Absolom]

I will quote Simon Cowell, "That was purely self-indulgent." 

[BradandJanet]

Tour tickets of Ryman Auditorium are about $35 a person and include 15 minutes in a recording booth if you get on the list in time. Jill signed up immediately. The recording is free but a digital copy costs $15.

If it were just about anybody but Jill and David, I'd say go and have fun. However, most people with no jobs and 10 underfed kids at home would think long and hard about indulging in a pleasure trip. Not our Jillybean and her Hunk, of course.

I'd love to know how much it ends up costing--conference fees, airbnb, transportation, meals, gifts for Plexus team (OK.  $20 tops), Jill's cowgirl wardrobe, souvenir shopping, guest ticket for David to the banquet (if they went), $85 to walk around Ryman Auditorium and record Jill's voice, and whatever else they decided to do. It appears BME and DBD were not sponsored this time and had to pay for everything themselves! Shocking, I know, but God kept telling them how much they deserved to splurge.

How long will it be before Jill has to put away her pink hat and white boots and start crying and begging for money. I bet they won't make it two months before something fires up the public grift yet again. It may not go well. This unnecessary trip is going to be hanging over Jill and Dave's thick heads for a long, long time.
