I bet it would blow their minds to know there are Godly people in public schools. 

And in accredited religious schools, where the state core curriculum is taught by qualified teachers along with religious studies.

The Home School Legal Defense Association is located in Virginia.  If she went to their graduation, it was held in Virginia.  They will give anyone a 'diploma' for $30.99.  Members can buy one for $25.99.  It doesn't matter what state you live in.

Would you like to 'graduate with honors'?  No problem:  

Double Honor Cord to wear with cap and gown: $15

Honor Medallion: $16.99

Gold Honor Stole: $17.99

This would be a great little blurb to put under a Nurie graduation TLC. lol.  Can you imagine Jill selling the add ons? As if TLC would ever really do an expose, sigh.

I can't get over Rebekah marrying a guy that looks like her grandfather. I get why financial security would be appealing to a divorced mother of two who grew up in a double-wide, but yikes.

Paul is a really cute kid. Davia always looks constipated.

HOW could anyone who has to live under all that legalistic crap NOT be constipated?

What's with the young men (in both pictures) wearing matching shirts???!!

[Sew Sumi]

Even worse, in the Waller pic, the hubby and wife BOTH match the single brother. 

As for Nathan and David Keller, I've never known which was which. Ma and Pa Keller seem to bundle them together as a package deal, making sure they don't escape like the others.

Love Davia doing the "cut" motion and then the "choking".  She really has keen insight for such a youngster.

Hey now, be fair ... they were just demonstrating sound financial priorities!  That honor cord cost fifteen bucks.   They could feed their 12 kids for a week with that much money! 

[kalamac]

A lot of public school people are certainly more Godly than Josh Duggar. And yet, they have no problem being with Nurie being around them, even with the scandals.

They probably have them wired with some kind of alarm system. If Nathan goes over the fence, David gets a series of electrical shocks, building in intensity until he's dragged his brother back across the line. And vice versa. 

Accountability partners, people.

How old are those Waller brothers?  Do they work real (not their Daddy's) jobs?  Are they educated beyond TSODRT?

I'd bet you anything that if Anna weren't in the picture, they'd push Nurie toward Josh as fast as they could. Any Duggar boy, of course, but JRod is so desperate, she'd even excuse Josh's mess, five kids, and no job.

Hell, they won't buy her enough food, no way JillRod is dropping 15 bucks on honors.  They probably found the cap and gown at a thrift store and we all know they printed her fake diploma at home rather than springing for the fancy schmancy one from the homeschool group.

Only reason Nurie got a 'graduation' ceremony at all is so her mother could put up another post on the blog to push the merchandise.  Next up: Nurie visits the dentist to verify she's got good teeth, then a gynecologist to certify those birthin' hips.

It's just like when they used to climb out of their van at a Gothard camp all in khaki and navy blue. Only modernized, because the colors are brighter. Those kids have been in uniforms all their lives.

Yikes.  Jill Rodrigues just dropped off the two oldest girls to spend the summer with THE PEARLS.  

Aren't they the sickos who think you should spank babies (and I use the term "spank" loosely) ?  SICKOS! 

Is it actually possible that Jill and her simian husband are more demented than Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar?  Because I ma starting to think they may be.

Did she make another FB post about it? She alluded to it in the 16th birthday post of the second girl, whose name escapes me. I replied here that the "ministry" was the Pearls, and that Nurie had been sent in the past, but I wasn't sure about Timothy. That poor guy has nothing to look up to with Chimpy as a "role model."

Those skeletal girls holding their plastic bags of hairspray and that scary man...never would I let my children stay there.

I don't think so.  Last update Jill had about her was she was suffering from a UTI and kidney infection.  Supposedly a complication for most paralyzed people, and a miserable one at that.

I can't imagine anyone trying to impregnate a paraplegic. The thought really angers me.

Is there something to insinuate the sex wasn't consensual?! I mean people with physical disabilities are more at risk to be abused/mistreated but that wouldn't be my first assumption unless the person had other issues....

 

forgive me me if there is more to the situation than I thought.

There are plenty of women who are paraplegics or even quadriplegics and have happy sex lives and planned pregnancies.  Since Jill's sister already had 6 kids at the time of her accident, I would hope they are done reproducing.

I don't think she meant there was any sort of impropriety, but more along the lines of they already have a gaggle of kids, a wife who's going to require lifelong care and limited finances, so why would they want to add the stress of another baby to an already overwhelmed household?

In that car picture, with the angle, the lighting, and what doesn't appear to be 50 pounds of makeup, Nurie looks pretty & healthy.

Oh! Yes I would think that 6 children would be enough for any woman much less one with a limited income and physical limitations but given this is the Quiverfill ilk we are speaking of my mind went there. Thanks.

How long before the book on spanking "teens" comes out. In the name of Jebus of course. Poor Nurie, worried about the ungodly at highschool.

Does Jill post updates about her sister with permission? I'm just wondering if it's part of raising money for her, or if Jill just wants the attention.

I wouldn't want my sister letting people know about my bladder and kidney difficulties, as a recent example.

They definitely are. Boob and Mechelle have Josh  but as far as I'm aware they haven't starved their children or put a baby in a cage in  closet.

I know, right?  I'd be pissed if my family or friends were posting details abou my health online without permission. 

Amy has allegedly asked Jill to stop posting stuff about her before.

Wow. I'm seriously hoping the Duggar boys pity marry those 2 girls to save them from their nightmare parents. Who's up? Josiah? One of the twins? And you know its messed up that we all think the Duggar are a safer, kinder, healthier place for these poor girls. Come on, Jim Bob, double wedding!

Who is this family ? I am not familiar with them.

That guy is so creepy looking.  No one in their right mind would trust their daughters with him.  On a positive note, maybe those poor girls will get  feed a decent meal or two.

The Rodrigues family .  Jill Rodrigues , her overweight husband and her 12 starving children .  They have a blog (I can't link to it because my virus program doesn't like them and gives me a phishing warning) and creepy/scary videos on youtube .  The oldest daughter just graduated homeschool and turned 18 and Jill is trying to sell her   find her a good Christian husband .
