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.

At least read Bible stories for children! 

By then, he will be watching the map. 

I won't take the bet, I'll lose. 

Even Ben reads the kids bible stories for children. Does Jonathan think Giddy's first words will be an antiquated quote from the KJV? 🙄

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

Probably. Got to start them young. Jonathan doesn't strike me as the sharpest tool in the shed. Not that Ben is but he might be just not quite as dull. 

I read my son Thomas the Tank Engine!

Giddy can't understand anything that is said to him yet (maybe stay on the blanket), but just being held and hearing his father's voice is really stimulating his brain.  We had moms in the hospital who would read magazines, adult level books and the hospital menu to their newborns.  I am hopeful that the reading material will get more child-appropriate as he gets older.  But then again, these "parents" do not know anything about child development except blanket training.  But this does make a good picture for a post.

You do have a point there.

Imagine being a newbie to this "retreat" and seeing Jill's SEVERELY filtered face.  

Then, in person, seeing her severely UNfiltered face.  

I'd ask for a refund lol

Also see Mari Brown from sister wives. All her SM posts she is filtered to a different person! Jill filters her nose off and looks like Lord Voldemort.

People are ridiculous.

Gideon got a bunch of right minded, colorful, kids bible themed books for christmas.

Agree Gideon doesn't have a clue what is being read. Rather than the reading, he is happy with the holding, bouncing and sound of his dad's voice.

Also, I believe he was just shoved to his dad for the photo op, so it probably lasted just long enough for kaylee to take a few pics.

I think it is sad that these wives keep posting about what great daddies their husbands are.  It seems that reading to their child, or providing for their family is not usual behavior for dads.  It is really unusual for a Fundy dad to pay attention to his kids?  It seems to me that that should be part of the job.

I think part of it is their attempt to square the circle where they are expected to be meek, obedient and tending to the home, but in reality they're the ones hustling on social media.

Interesting Jill thanks Shannon, who maybe lives in Wyoming, Kaylee, Heidi's mom and grandma, but not Renee. Renee is shown in one of Jill's pics sitting in the far back corner. Kaylee is right up front next to mama.

This seemed to be someone else's plexus event and Jill sat in the front row and took pics and got a mini vacation out of it.

We blog at work (a library) and needed our pictures taken for the posts. I admit to being "softened" a bit as I looked wrinkly. I did, however, keep my nose. 

Don't worry about it. My 35-year-old son had admitted to using face-tuner on Zoom. I'm not sure why. He looks good to me.

How much was this retreat???

If it included dinner at the Rodrigueses', it was overpriced whatever it cost.

Jill's 4 down line folks at the barndo for dinner probably paid for, and cooked, the dinner to thank her for being such an amazing leader.

This post by Jill included video of David and some of the kids working in the printshop. She started by opening the door from outside and this was the view inside the door.

We have been SUPER busy in the Print Shop, getting another 250,000 Gospel Smiley Tracts done. 😊   I am SO thankful for David's and the children's hard work.   ❤️  We have enjoyed being on a rigid schedule while we are home.....  getting lots of school done and work in the Print Shop done.  It is a JOY serving Jesus together!  ✨️ 🥰

it then went on to show hardworking Dave sitting in a chair playing with rubber bands while all the children were working. I note Gabe has been promoted to the "stitching machine" with Tessie as his assistant. Maybe Sammer man will be able to at least work outside the print shop at some point.

You'd think Jill would give Lazy Davy a better edit. Maybe she's trying to tell us something.

If you're looking for something new to peruse on our favorite grifters, check out Tumblr.  This one is gold with the commentary underneath some of the pics. 

OMG! this one: 

Things Jill Rodrigues loves:

1. Patting herself on the back for making The Most Holy Children in the world

2. Making lists of the reasons everyone else is not as good as her

I guess Jill isn't going to Punta Cana. They are obviously planning their usual February Florida junket. I don't see how she can leave unless they park the RV at Nurie's and leave the kids there for the four days of the trip. 

I guess we will see for sure. I honestly don't think she is going.

I think she should go and instead of Hunk, she should take Sammer for his senior trip.😂

That girl in pants in Jill's b and b plexus photos was the lady from Wyoming's daughter. Graduated high school last year. Jill tagged her in one of the pics. She is surely too worldly for Sam. Wears not only pants, but sometimes...gasp...even shorts. Did dance team in HS etc.

Do we know if Jill even has a passport? If not, there is no way she will get one in time for this trip.

It's unknown, but there was time to apply for one and get it in time when she first learned that she could go on this trip.

Could that be the plan? Is it cheaper to fly out of FL than OH?

When Jill and Dave went on their Maine trip last year, they left the kids and the RV with church members in New Hampshire or Vermont, so it's not out of question to leave them with Nurie & Nathan for 4 days. At least the Nurthans are family and know the kids. 

I wonder if Jill applied for a passport a while back as she set a goal of moving up in Plexus, knowing that resort trips were a possibility. That would have required forethought, but Plexus and grifting (unlike the kids education and clothing) are things Jill is interested in and she does put in effort when she is interested in something.

Now that I agree on 100%. What will it be? Injury? Nurie needs her? Evil forces? 

She was pregnant with twins! Or someone stole her identity and stole all her $!

Yep queeny Jill isn’t going to DR… 

Or she re injured her severely injured knee???
