New hotel = no idea how bad Jill is yet so is willing to throw free stuff at her to get a booking.

"Too big for old hotel" = they told us to go away and never come back.  

That did not look like an overflow crowd.

What is spiritual refreshment? And there will be LOADS of it? That just conjures up x rated scenario’s 🤣🤪😬💦! 

Jill does love everything cream 💦🤪😜😁. 

I shall be in the prayer closet…

Jill filtered her nose off if you noticed. Lord Voldemort thinks it’s hawt. He found his perfect wife.
 

If you think you are so hawt Jill why are you using filters?

And how is your SEVERELY injured knee doing? 
 

Hmmm…

Maybe the spiritual refreshment is Plexus. I am sure she will be pushing the ladies to purchase some and/or join her team.

I had to laugh when I read "lobby complete with soft seating." Who would mention that in an ad for a religious retreat? Anyway, I'm not sure Jill needs it.  With all those layers of ugly clothing she wears, she carries her "soft seating" with her. 

The "shop til you drop" is perfectly on brand for Jillybean. She has to beg for money when she remembers to feed her kids, but she's always ready to hit the gift shops for trinkets for herself. 

Oh, and the alcohol in the restaurants. Jill's earlier rant said Christians shouldn't even be near alcohol, shouldn't even look at it. But rules are for others not our favorite little hypocrite. 

Jill Rodrigues is the gift that keeps on giving.

She does have a ! after writing it out.  I thought it was just Jill's typical redundancy like pediatrician doctor and sexually fornicating.

I think it’s a sign of immaturity.  She’s in her 40s?  With adult children, and three grandchildren.  Yet she writes, talks, dresses, and thinks of others at the cognitive level of a tween or teenager. The same as Michelle.  Stunted.   With no hope of reaching the maturity level someone with adult children should have attained via normal life experiences.

Jill is clearly bucking for enough bookings for her retreat so that she gets a free suite for herself and her hunk.  The kids can sleep in the RV or stay home and forage for food in hunk's recliner.  I'm particularly amused that she didn't read the hotel description she copied that clearly references TVs in every room.  I though they were so anti-TV.  Or course there is the giant map in their house that hunk is constantly parked in front of.

In the pictures from Florida, I feel so sorry for Sadie and Olivia.  Poor Sadie doesn't know how to hold the baby or doesn't have the strength.  She looks like she is about to drop him.  And Olivia does not need black leggings under what is already a maxi dress.  Their deadbeat father needs to lay off the food and let his starving kids have some.

“Five star hotel”?  Yeah, this from the woman who thinks Olive Garden is a fancy restaurant. I checked out pictures, looks like any other mid-range hotel. I’m sure it’s perfectly nice, but five star?  No way.

Exactly - and there are plenty of restaurants that DON’T serve alcohol to choose from. But she never does. 

[BradandJanet]

Well, at least Jill has apparently stopped posting photos of her and Hunk in a restaurant drinking something that is NOT ALCOHOL. She has to point that out in case we think she's being a hypocrite or a bad Christian. 

We already think that, so she and Hunky-poo might as well enjoy themselves.

She had to write out exclamation point? Like we wouldn't know (or care) otherwise.

Oh, and Jill, you are the ONLY one who wants your hunk. If you think other women are looking at him, it's probably just so that you can act over the top persecuted.

Perfectly said. She even draws a heart over I in Jill. This mahdest bride of hunk has never been in the real world so yep she is sheltered and immature and dumb. She never went to college or had a real job with a boss. Jilly had a easy life!

No worries except pleasing one person in her life: her headship!

My goodness, what ugly hands you have Grandma. 
Why does Jill insist on showing her (not at all attractive and badly manicured) hands so often? Maybe she should soak them in Plexus…

It seems Timothy is back in the gutter cleaning business.

So he sold the lawn service where he claimed he made $5,000 a month. According to jill he was taking all his saved money to advance his flight training.

Instead he went a courtin and is back to cleaning gutters and roofs.

2 reviews so far, neither from Jill or his siblings. I bet his team of skilled professionals is sammers and gabe. (bolding below is mine)

In looking further into it - Tim just changed the name of his old Christ Honoring Services co. No mention of the business being licensed or insured. I seem to recall someone pointed that out to him with the god honoring business and tim replied he wasn't aware he needed to be.

BBB File Opened: 8/31/2020

Years in Business: 3

Business Started: 2/1/2020

Accredited Since: 3/23/2023

Type of Entity: Sole Proprietorship

Alternate Business Name -Tim's Christ Honoring Services

I thought Tim was working at the same place as Jonathan and maybe Sam and Phil--Cargill? He's been working somewhere for quite a while. Did he get separated from that job? Maybe he should have saved all that lawn equipment he was so eager to get rid of.

I don’t think anyone has ever verified whether anyone but Jonathan works there. And yes, didn’t he say he sold all of the equipment for thousands of $$$? So does this mean he had to buy all of that equipment again?

It was the name of his business when he started it. He has since changed it to something more secular.

Tim's uncle, Kevin Foster, has Kevin's Christ Honoring Contracted Services. So Tim's business name wasn't even an original "my business name is holier than yours" name

[BradandJanet]

Tim has been working somewhere since he left the adult care center and the small airfield. Jill has talked about Tim's being at work. If he weren't working full time, wouldn't he be back on the stink van tours? 

If gutter cleaning is a side hustle, he won't need much more than a ladder and a few tools. However, if he's going back to lawn care, he'll need some of that equipment he sold. 

[Salacious Kitty]

The last reviews of him mowing grass/landscaping were from over a year ago. When did he finally sell his stuff, last winter?

[ginger90]

I don’t know when he actually sold the equipment, but he was trying to sell the business itself.

This is part of his spiel from a Facebook group he listed it in.

 

Hello, I am Tim with Heavenly Lawn Care I am the current owner, and founder of this business. I started this business to help save money to continue my flight training to help pay for expenses. The business has been very successful, and I currently have about 20 weekly
lawn customers, along with extra side jobs every week. Currently with my lawn customers I make about $3,500 a month then with extra side jobs about an extra $1,500 a month. So, my average monthly income this season has been $5,000. I wasn't quite sure how to list this business for sale but it appears business owners suggest to sell it at the price my equipment is worth plus one month of my average salary which equals about $12,000. But I am
open to offers!

[AstridM]

I'm guessing he had no choice.  Mama told him what to name is "company", Mama told him when to sell and start again.  Mama got most of the profit.

Maybe Heidi's dad put his foot down about an engagement between Heidi and Tim unless Tim had an actual job, that wasn't following BME around on the grifting tours.

I just saw a picture of Heidi and her sisters on the Boardwalk. Sisters are appropriately dressed in shorts. Heidi is wearing two sbirts and a maxi skirt. She's been Jillerized, sorry to say. 😕

I’m pretty sure he copied that from some other business, I only noticed one mistake - “We pride ourselves…to its clients”. Should be “our” clients.
