I don't believe a word that Jill writes, especially when it comes to her kids. Although I had to laugh as she corrected all of us for worrying and being sad for Renee. She said that "Renee isn't willing to compromise her convictions or beliefs to obtain her MRS degree." That would make her different from her Mahmo, who married the first guy to show interest in her, despite the fact that he was from an UNSAVED home. I think Jill looked at her recently saved future headship and told the Lord, "I'll take it from here!"

Isn’t “contentedly waiting” the same phrase she used for the Single Woman slated to speak at Jill’s “Ladies’ Retreat”?

also not thrilled with the “perfect husband is a reward for your godliness” blather here. You just know Jill would layer it on thick with guilt trips if Renee isn’t married soon.

Secondly, Sammer broke his nose while playing football. At least he's playing a sport? 
 

just picture how that happened. 

[laurakaye]

Another injury to one of her kids, another ER photo session.  Nothing is off limits.  Those poor kids.

At least she didn't insist on putting 80's make up on his damaged face for the stupid photos. It's not easy to be a Rodlet, but it's probably slightly better to be a male Rodlet....as long as he puts Mahmo front and center his whole life long!

[oliviabenson]

I think Rene got dumped. He saw that she is uneducated and can only quote Bible and doesn’t even understand the Bible. He was probably bored with the limited conversation and the breathy yasss and hehe. And Jill basically revealed his identity even though he asked for anonymity. And last he realized how much $ he’d have to spend to feed Jill and David in various double date restaurants…

The guy wisely ran off. 

And Jill you uneducated clown a MRS degree implies that your daughters attend college. Your daughters can’t pass 8th grade, forget about actual college.

And this clown made 13 kids who will be even more uneducated than Jill the incubator.

Sam looks just like Dave. Poor kid broke his nose but at least he’s not a whimp according to Jill.

I feel sorry for these kids.

Does Jill want us to think that Renee broke off her relationship with her mystery man because he wanted her to compromise her convictions and beliefs?  

[laurakaye]

Those posts were only to serve notice from Jill to social media that:

A. - Renee is back on the market by her choice because she won't just settle for any old random Fundy guy that runs for the hills once he meets his future mother-in-law, and 

B. - Sammers is a tough guy, NOT a wimp, wuss, or anything less than a manly man, for which I dare say the Mahmo doth protest too much.

None of the posts concerning her kids are really for them - they are used for how she thinks they reflect her BME status to outsiders.  Period.

Maybe he told her she doesn't have to be on camera all the time and they could live somewhere away from Jill.  
Renee doesn't know what her own convictions and beliefs are thanks to Jill and Dave.

I loathe when people do this...I am just trying to enjoy my coffee and see what's going on with my FB friends - I do not need to see an up close photo of someone's injury.

I am surprised Jill didn't video the entire trip in the car to the ER and narrate to us what a tough young man her son is.

It feels like she is throwing him under the bus. Almost as if he were trying to lead her astray but she stood firm. Isn't he such a bad guy? Mothers keep your daughters away from him!

This tells me that they are receiving Medicaid. Otherwise why spend $$$$ on emergency medical care that he could’ve done without.

How would he qualify? He is over 18 and he is more than capable of holding down a job. I had to jump through hoops and practically donate a limb to get my elderly mother with dementia on it. It nearly caused me a nervous breakdown.

Is he over 18? Even if he is, it’s not that hard to qualify in Ohio if he’s an adult who doesn’t make much money. Ohio expanded its Medicaid program with the ACA. I have an ex who broke his nose twice and never went to the ER because he didn’t have insurance.

Was that recent? I went through all of this with my mom in 2016 but we are in Illinois. Maybe it varies by state? Though I guess if Jill and Hunk are on it, he would be too. My son was on his father's until he turned 26 and then he did the ACA. 

But the main point is, why is she posting his broken nose??? Ugh!

It is absolutely sickening that she is exploiting him like this, no matter what insurance he has or doesn’t have. I absolutely think they have everyone on Medicaid, though, because why seek professional medical care that will cost thousands (even for something so simple) when a couple ice packs and some Tylenol would do the trick? Especially for tough, manly men! I fell on my face on the ice a few years ago (yes, I had been drinking 😆) and ended up with 2 black eyes and a nose that clicked when I touched the bridge.  I didn’t seek medical help even though I had insurance, because I still would’ve had to have paid a huge deductible. My bruises and nose all healed perfectly with just ice and rest.

Yeah, I was a little surprised. I broke my nose several years ago, although mine was due to a face plant on a concrete driveway. I had two black eyes, one swollen shut. I went to the ER because I also needed stitches and I lived in a rural area at the time (no urgent care). There really isn't anything to be done with a broken nose unless it's so badly dislocated you need surgery.

The state won't kick Sammers off of Medicaid on his 18th birthday.  There is a grace period where he would still get coverage, and said grace period can get extended as long as Sammers is still a student.  Once he graduates from the Joyful Noyes Homeschool, things change.

So Joyful Noyes counts as "school"? Even though we all know it is a pile of b---s---. But I guess I get it.

I remember researching the homeschool laws in Ohio, and I quickly realized why the Rods moved where they did.  It counts as school because Jill moved her family to a place where there is some willing to turn a blind eye to her curriculum and give their stamp of approval.  It's either a sympathetic superintendent or a licensed teacher.  If something happens to that individual, then expect the barndo will be on the market in record time.

Ugh, those poor kids. No food, no education, no fun and a lunatic for a mother (and deadbeat dad).

I did the paperwork to get my housekeeper's daughter on it when she was 18 or 19 and had a serious burn.  It took about two hours.  They paid back to her first ER visit.

I was just going to say this is ridiculous. Does she seriously think we believe that is what she looks like? She really is as bad as the Silva Twins from 90 Day Fiance because they do this crap. I bet if she could get work done she would do it in a heartbeat. I think Jill missed her calling. 

Even Renee, who is still basically a kid, barely has a nose.

In Ohio, it’s a joint application for SNAP/food stamps and Medicaid. Fairly simple to complete.

Do we know Sam went to an ER rather than an urgent care center? The walk-in place near me does x-rays and sutures among other things. It's much cheaper and faster than an ER, and it takes most health insurances. A mildly broken nose is not a life-threatening injury, and would make a long, expensive visit to a hospital, mostly sitting and waiting. 

I cracked my nose diving into a swimming pool many years ago. I didn't have anyone look at it because it was still on my face straight. Ice packs to the rescue.

Ooooh good call!  I think if it was a hospital, it would have been another Rod Family Field Trip where someone was "saved" while they all waited and everyone asked for smiley tracts to give to their friends.  We certainly would have had several videos of the kids playing freeze tag or hide'n'seek or any other Wildly Inappropriate For An Emergency Room game.  

Not much to do in an urgent care waiting room.  Not even a snack machine. 

And now the pictures of her and Renee's missing noses? What a week to be a nose in the Rodrigues household!

Jill did put in another post that the church they performed at had a harvest party, so maybe pony rides were part of the festivities? It looks like pink was the designated color for the morning performance. Everyone was dressed more casually for the harvest party audio assault. Jill even had on a baseball bonnet, which surprised me a bit since the performance was in the church. I would have guessed that was a no-no in their culture, even for a non-Sunday-morning service.

[crazy8s]

Jill has posted showing the girls getting pony rides at this church many times.

The clothing color of the day was the coral  outfits, so the little girls are in their performance clothes. Olivia is shown walking the mini pony and she is wearing the same outfit as the performance video.
