Jill thanks god for a cheap bag?? She looks unwell and unhinged. And yep that’s one tight hoodie blouse! I’m telling you all she is on a hunt for a rich new husband!

That poor baby is terrified.

[crazy8s]

It is a bit funny Jill is always so proud of these cheap bags her wonderful company gives her, yet she never seems to use them. It seems she would want to be seen with them in her own pics, or have Kaylee using them as a prop in her videos or something.

She wore the plexus hat recently!

And Jill would never give/loan Kaylee any plexus merchandise.

Since Kaylee filmed the "i'm so tired, plexus cured me" video at mama's house, i would think that might be ok for her to use it as a prop or whatever.

I would think if an otherwise fairly healthy adult woman had adequate nutrition from a good home diet and proper rest at night, she would not need a crappy supplement drink to "give her the energy" to exercise. This statement from Jill in itself tells me something about her poor lifestyle.

This poor child…..

[crazy8s]

Yet more videos of the Hill family at the barndo. Do they ever go home??

Well, we know they are there to make videos. Jonathan chops wood, kaylee makes plexus videos and talks on the phone to mama. This one time we had a fire in our "fireplace".

I hope they don't decide they need to go on the grift tour with mama soon.

The thing about the music is that Tessie has been playing the clarinet for years. She sounds like a beginner.

That girl needed to take band as an elective in junior high/middle school.  Maybe she'd know how to play well, by now.

There's zero soul in her playing. Edelweiss isn't a difficult tune and is meant to be soulful. 

[jacourt]

Music for them isn't joyous. Its for praising their judgemental god. They don't enjoy playing the instruments. Its so sad. Music is one thing they have that could bring happiness to them as individuals.

Yeah, Jill is the one who forced it on them. And she's the only one deriving any joy from it.

That’s the face of a not a happy gal. She is so over being around Mahmo 24/7. She spends all her $ on Mahmo and Mahmo plexus. Snap out of being mahmos cash cow Kiki and Jonjon! 

Maybe she just needs a Plexus!

Nice to see the Rodlings out in appropriate snow gear. Kaylee had a skirt on but the other girls wore snow pants.

The clutter makes me SEVERELY twitchy. Looks like andKaylee frequents the Barndo, I guess she and JillyBean work on their Plexus all day? Poor Giddy, just another kid crammed in the Rodlet home.

I thought Jill was supposed to be a "clean freak"- what a hot mess firetrap!

[floridamom]

What a depressing mess....I could not stand to be in that room for any amount of time. It also looks like that set up would be difficult to actually clean...too much junk in the way.

Introducing Plexus Joy!

Do you have 13 children you can't afford to feed? Does your Godly husband disappear all day because of the mess and noise in the house? Does he watch sports on a computer in his workshop, where he rarely does any work? Have you heard his two sermons five hundred times? Do you and all your blessings travel in a rickety RV to sing at small churches for a starchy meal and a few dollars in love offerings? Does a family outing include a swim in a drainage ditch? Is your Go Fund Me stuck at five dollars?

You need Plexus Joy!!!

Three envelopes of Plexus Joy! a day mixed with your favorite tap water will change your life! You'll feel a sense of happiness and detachment that even praying can't give. Is your son engaged to a girl whose sisters wear pants? No problem! Have another glass of Plexus Joy! Does your son-in-law in Florida disapprove of your excessive social media use? Who cares? You have a pantry filled with Plexus Joy!

Plexus Joy! is a special formula of herbs, cornstarch, and stuff we can't legally reveal. 

Once you try it, you won't be able to stop. Your friends will love it and plead with you to sell them more. 

Build your business, earn points, win cruises that you can't afford. Plexus Joy! does it all.

It reminds me of the time my parents were recarpeting and painting my bedroom. I had to move all of my stuff into the much smaller spare room. Ugh, it was cramped. 

 

[crazy8s]

The room probably seems spacious to the girls after living in the RV for a few years. Plus they have more space now that Nurie and Kaylee have moved out of there.

From the video - the girls have a monitor and keyboard on the table, so Tessie was probably taking her youtube "teach yourself clarinet" lesson.

Plus they had a walkie talkie that mama was talking to them through from just outside the window. Mama is monitoring everything!

I could not tell if Kaylee picked up sleeping Gideon from a twin bed or maybe was changing him. But if she woke him up just then and we got the "Gideon brought to tears by tessie's music" video just after, that would have been even more terrifying for the little guy.

Yeah, I was grossed out that of all the places in that barn, she chose her sister’s bed to change a dirty diaper, but I guess that’s the better option than she just left a wiggly, rolling baby on a bunk bed to nap. Shouldn’t that place be teeming with cribs and baby stuff given how freaking kids they have?!

[jacourt]

Is there a window in that room?  Notice how the school desks are also covered with clutter. Not too much school work being done there 

[oliviabenson]

I think Jill said they homeschool when at home in the recent videos. Maybe she homeschools 1-3 weeks a year total. It doesn’t look like they are home much!

This is what the girl's room looked like when they bought the barndo. Note all outlets are already mid wall. Probably code for a garage/pole barn.

[GeeGolly]

7 beds that take up much less room.

And a desk to share.

I'm sorry, but I imagine that room to smell of dirty carpet, unwashed clothes and hairspray.  I don't think it's even possible to keep a house clean when it contains that much STUFF.  Stuff collects dust, hair, etc.  And we know Jill doesn't have time to wipe down all that crap.

Those multi-bed pictures are cute, clean, organized and color-coordinated.  Thus, they have no place in Jill's barndo.

Plus, she probably couldn't grift them or find them at Goodwill (not that there  is anything wrong with GW shopping).

Kaylee - go home. Stay home. Build a life with your own family.

[beckie]

(And Kaylee) and the other girls don't know anything but what BME and her hunk tell them. Even the Amish, who Jillybean so admires, let's their kids out to see what the world is like! Jill would never allow that!

[ginger90]

Screenshot from a video. In the video Jill giggled and zoomed in on Timothy eating. He asked her something like, you’re not zooming in on me? Her response, no I zoomed in on Samuel. It was a lie , there was no one else in the shot, but it was also out of character for Timothy to question her.

Jill has allowed a few of her kids to live a life just outside of her chokehold, and they seem to be somewhat thriving.  So the poor deluded kids like Kaylee are probably subjected to Jill's form of guilt and love-bombing, like a cult leader, in order to keep all of them from escaping her clutches.  With Kaylee under Jill's Plexus downline, and all of the giggle videos the two of them post, Kaylee might be under the impression that she is currently Mahmo's fave.  I don't think Kaylee would leave even if she could.  It would be up to Jonathan to remove her from her toxic mother, but he seems to be under Jill's spell as well.

I really think those kids tolerate her but don't necessarily like what she does.

That’s very nice but Jilly would never spend $ on her kids like that 

[crazy8s]

With the florida grift tour/vacation coming soon, will ma and pa noyes come for their turn at the barndo with sweet Kaylee girl and family moving in to care for them again this year?

That would be another controlling thing Jill would use so Kaylee and Jonathan never, ever get used to being home with just their little family.

So... hypothetically... if I were to register, and I put down a Catholic church as "my" church, she wouldn't take my money because I am not a "like-minded lady?" Or would she take my money and spend the weekend trying to save me?

She would take your money, then turn you down and tell you the registration fees were non-refundable. Just like her g-d would, I'm sure.
