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.

No need to capitalize the word “fall,” Jill. 

I was taught to capitalize the seasons. Of course, this was still when we lived in England, so it would have been autumn, not fall, and I don't know whether seasons are still capitalized over there, but I kept doing it until fairly recently, when it kind of occurred to me that other people didn't seem to do that. Lower case seasons still look wrong to me, though. Is there an actual rule for that?

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

I believe the rules are different for British English. Jill wouldn’t know anything about that!

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.

I would have changed them into play clothes first, but okay.

In JillR’s world there is no such thing as play clothes, there’s the matching color performance clothes and the other modest outfits. The poor kids have to look like ragamuffins in clothes that don’t fit properly for the Jill grift show.

The church annually hosts an "old fashion" party. Everyone is supposed to come in costume, which seem to resemble Little House on the Prairie. 

Except for the the Rod kids. They show up in whatever. 

Of course they do, Jill doesn't give a s---. I bet she dresses up though.

I am actually surprised that Jill has not managed to grift matching LHOTP dresses plus bonnets for her and the girls.

Well, that's why I said matching dresses for her and the girls.  I am aware that Jill does not care what her girls look like when they leave their house.

The visit to this particular church and the Harvest Festival usually includes the star of the show "Jill and her AMAZING ironing board of cowbells" 😂

No evidence of that this year.

Does she actually use an ironing board?  I don't believe I've ever seen or noticed that!  What a weird woman.

for an extra laugh - the ironing board cowbell pic I randomly pulled from google seems to be at Pecan Dave Waller's church in Texas.😂

I noticed that. Forgot that they performed there, but I do now remember Jill fawning over Pecan and Prissy.

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.

“Audio Assault” is a great way to describe what they do.

it would also be a great name for a thrash metal band, but that’s beside the point.

I never figured out who Rene’s MM is. But according to Reddit he and his siblings are all college graduates and have jobs even his sisters. Maybe his family uses EBIL birth control too. If that’s true he definitely broke up with Rene… She is no match for him. 
 

Rene might be a sweet/nice/meek girl but she is so sheltered/uneducated. I blame Dave for that.

Poor Janessa. She must have been terrified. She looked liked she was laying/hanging on for dear life.

J exists for MAHMO’s SM posts. Jill doesn’t care about anything but likes and showing off how wonderful her life is.

Sorry, DBD is a non-entity as a father figure. It's all on Jill.

I listened to a tiny bit of the Rod's latest church takeover, this time with Sam and Gabriel "preaching."  In those precious 15 seconds, I reached my limit of "ummmm's" for the rest of the year.

Not everyone is meant to preach, Jill.  Sammers couldn't even spit out a complete sentence while reading directly from the Bible but then, look who taught him to read.

So agree, but as long as they have a p----, they right away are preachers. I don't want some sheltered kid preaching to me. I am of the mindset that people who preach should go to theology school and actually understand what they are saying.

Gabe said Jill is as busy as 3 people. His dearest mommy is always busy and fills her time wisely. She doesn’t waste her time doing dumb poo… Jill is SEVERELY productive. 
 

She is always going, going, going. 
 

Guess Jill has good  time management skills according to Gabe…

 

Guess it’s the caffeine in plexus…

I listened to some of Gabe’s. Sam is for later if I can tolerate it. Her sons aren’t very intelligent or so uneducated they can barely string a thought together. I can’t tell. All I know those kids would have been better off in public school receiving services if they had problems with learning…

I don't know if they have issues with learning. I really lean towards super poor "schooling".

Does anyone remember any stories on Gabriel. Like he needed his spirit broken or anything. He seems to be person who has found his place as being the best at honoring mama and daddy.

On the grift tour he is the one that "introduces our dad" and sings the praises of hard working dave.

What was it Jill Dillard said about seeking to be praised for being the best example of....? I feel Gabriel just might be the Rod equivalent of young Jill Duggar.

As for Jill always going, going, going.  100mg of caffeine in the pink drink would be a help there. Then you have the reset every month or so which gives the going, going, going an entirely different meaning.😂

It is! I guess if it is adjustable and the right height it is probably easy to work with. And it folds up. 

Wonder if she remembers to turn the mic off when she opens the ironing board?  Every one I have had sounds heinous when it is opened.  Guess I could try and do something about that.

Old fashioned is a term these people throw around all the time. How about a modern sermon, dealing with modern issues? 

I'm sure his preaching was just "delightful" 🙄

Those poor kids, this is their lives. This is what they have to listen to. Do they even have something like CCD for them? At least with this, kids can learn about God and it can be religious in nature but they can make art projects, read books, play games.... the Rod kids seem to sit on benches listening to some old man preach "old fashioned" style for hours on end. How dull.

At least she spelled and used  “old fashioned” correctly, lol. It’s a very low bar.
