Because there's nothing more safe and healthy than packing 12 kids into the room of a sick person (who may be immuno-compromised).

All of my local hospitals have a rule that children under 12 cannot be visitors unless they are the children of the patient they are visiting.  Because children are germ factories.

OMG, laughing.  When I was sick as a dog last year, I would have been horrified at this spectacle. Luckily, I got my chemo on an outpatient basis. I’d have no issue listening to them if they had any talent at all, but they are simply awful. I tried to one time, but after 10 seconds, my ears were bleeding.

I have a spitfire of a SIL who underwent chemo for breast cancer several years ago. If that mangy horde had set foot in her room she would've thrown Jello at them.

Reminds me of my nitwit in-laws after my husband was diagnosed and started dialysis. The constant phone calls especially when my poor husband had a tough dialysis run. His idiot brother would keep calling, and my husband would tell him to call the next day because he was wanted to go to bed because he was feeling like crap and had a bad headache. I finally answered the phone and told his brother to knock it off and call tomorrow. It came close to the first real case of someone actually reaching into the phone and choking someone with their bare hands. GRRR!!!

The thing that pissed me off was when his youngest sister's husband had a bad accident at work and had to be airlift to Billings. His mother called the hubby to tell him what had happened and ask him not to call her because she had enough to deal with. Seriously... Too bad they did not have the attitude when it came to him and me. Double GRRR!!! GRRR!!! Sadly my brother-in-law died four years ago after taking a nasty fall off a grain freight train car and had a stroke.

Now back on topic...People like the Duggars and the like do not seem to understand handing out religious tracts and singing to sick people will make people angry and not appreciate them much.

I agree with bigskygirl.  The last thing patients and hospital staff want to see is a pack of holier-than-thou dingleberries singing songs and handing out pamphlets.  Especially when they're busy.

I want to know in what world wearing a dress or a skirt ever stopped a man from looking “with lust in his eyes” at a woman?  As I seem to recall from my heathen history books men have raped women who wore dresses and were completely covered up. Shoot they’ve even raped nuns, for heaven’s sake. And no one out modested old time nuns in habits.

Again, the Rodriguii only believe what they’re brainwashed with.  Nuns are ebil Catholics, so they don’t count.  They don’t get to see naked and half naked people because they aren’t allowed to watch Nat Geo, so therefore it doesn’t become a data point, either.

That's right, Nurie and Chimpy have been in Africa since January 16; THREE WHOLE DAYS at the time she posted!!!!  Jill is already comparing herself to military wives (because military husbands shouldn't exist in her world).  Having a loved one serving in combat for  months and months at a time is exactly the same as having her husband and daughter visiting Africa for less than a week.  Cooking chicken on a gas grill is apparently more dangerous than it looks.  She should be ashamed of herself, but if there is one thing we all know about Jill, she has no shame.

[Fuzzysox]

I knew it would be a matter of time before Jill (Mama) would be crying about missing Chimpy and her #1 slave.

Oh, poor is me Jill can't phantom the thought of adulting on her own. She doesn't know how to function without her help.

There was an excellent article I read last night about Bill Gothard's teachings. Women are to stay at home blah, blah, blah. Nothing about how to function on your own. Is Jill's father in charge of her now since Chimpy is away? What will she ever do!!!!! *eye roll*

[GeeGolly]

3 days?! Military wife?! JillR is a self-centered, clueless bitch. And a tad sluttish too.

JillR is a self-centered, clueless bitch. And a tad sluttish too. 

And I'd say she's a lying sack of hair.  This past X-mas season the flu was so nasty (and still is) that most nursing homes and hospitals closed any outside programs or entertainment for the residents or patients.  We only went to visit my grandmother for a short while, were discouraged on taking her out, and wore masks the entire time.  I can't see them being allowed to bring kids into either place to warble some bible top tens and pass out their tract manna even if the flu wasn't such big news.  Caroling at church or in the neighborhood maybe, but not that. 

 

[Temperance]

Actually what Jill says is that she "THANKS military wives for their service." She is finding it hard enough to deal with her family gone.  I did think the point of the comparison is that they have it harder. But it's sort of a humble brag.  The point about military wives might have been better addressed by someone not from the sodrt. We were taught have more about emphasizing our points in school.

[GeeGolly]

Personally I think comparing oneself to a spouse of those who serve in the military is off limits. These men and women are sometimes gone for months at a time, serve in dangerous situations, and might be at risk of never coming home. 

Jill misses her husband, at day 3 of him being gone. He's on a trip that he planned. With their daughter. He could fly back at a moments notice. Big difference.

Yeah, I would assume she means, "contact information for said church, which is going to go on David-printed cheap bound versions of printouts of these books of the Bible, so that after our visit, the recipients know how to contact the church if this rouses their interest in attending".  

[Absolom]

Many times proselytizers hand out little stapled booklets of just the book of John and apparently Jill and her family do the same with the book of Romans.  These come from Christian publishing companies and many churches put a little sticker with the church address and phone number and these days website on the back or inside the front cover.

If you look through the pictures on her FB she does make an effort to show that they do buy food. In one post she has a picture of Sophia with a tiny little shopping cart. Jill rejoices at Sophia shopping. If you notice the cart it's filled with junk. All processed sugar filled non nutritional garbage. A big box of Fruit Loops should be replaced with containers of oatmeal. At least oatmeal can stretch longer and provide better nutrients that a bowl of sugar and milk. Don't get me started on how a bag of beans with some kale or spinach can also make a cheap meal but a nutritious one. Jill do you need help grocery shopping?

I imagine it did.  I was reading a thread about those poor children on a large message board, and someone referenced that header picture in the JillRod blog as fellow folks upon whom maybe CPS should be called.  You know, the one with the emaciated skeletal boys and girls in their fancy dress.

[BradandJanet]

Jill likes to brag about how Nurie earns money and paid for her trip to Africa and for Jill's shower. Just how does Nurie earn money? She has no education and I doubt a great deal of strength. If it's babysitting, don't most of the families in her circle produce their own childcare workers?

I looked at their Africa blog. When Jill posted the picture, "There's a baboon sitting under the tree," did it not occur to her someone might think it's a photo of David? Perhaps not. Or perhaps just the people here. 

The Rodriguii are an endless source of wonder.

I was pretty sure it was a joke, but I always think it's humorous when there's any possible chance to infer that a fundie has a talent for sophisticated imagery on their own!  I'm pretty sure heathen figurative language is the devil's workshop to them.

They probably grifted the money from some half-senile old lady, the way they grifted their house. An Africa trip would cost well into the thousands and Nurie sure as hell isn't making that kind of money selling janky homemeade bracelets.

Yeah. The Rods don't have two nickels to rub together, so it's all suspicious. Nurie's jewelry is cheap. She's not getting serious money from that. The Dillards grift online. What are the Rodriguii up to? Perhaps Jill will enlighten us.

Nurie WAS stringing together beads and jewels and making bracelets and necklaces.  She was selling them on Etsy.  Some were cute but honestly, her asking price was too low to actually turn a profit.

Ha!  I read through and see I'm too late!

I'm thinking they have to have some kind of assistance from the government that they keep on the down low. No way Chimpy makes enough money to feed everyone and keep up with bills. Jill is pushing her Plexus---how long will that last? Money has to be coming from a source she doesn't ever talk about because Jesus provides!?!?!?!!!!!

Probably just the people here. Well, and the people of Africa might have noted the resemblance. “Africa” is pretty non-specific, as a destination. Do you think they know there are over fifty countries there?

This passed as a hymn in my childhood church. The theme is basically "work work work work work work work because before you know it, you'll drop dead." I could still sing it for you. lol

The Rodriguez kids should probably sing it at their father. Loudly. 

Work, for the night is coming,
Work through the morning hours;
Work while the dew is sparkling,
Work ’mid springing flow’rs.
Work when the day grows brighter,
Work in the glowing sun;
Work, for the night is coming,
When man’s work is done.

Work, for the night is coming,
Work through the sunny noon;
Fill brightest hours with labor,
Rest comes sure and soon.
Give every flying minute
Something to keep in store;
Work, for the night is coming,
When man works no more.

Work, for the night is coming,
Under the sunset skies;
While their bright tints are glowing,
Work, for daylight flies.
Work till the last beam fadeth,
Fadeth to shine no more;
Work, while the night is dark’ning,
When man’s work is o’er.

Based on the hair and makeup, I might guess that Jill's training her girls to pick up work as hookers, circa 1966. 

But the clothes are wrong for that. (unless you're hooking in, say, Mr. Gothard's neighborhood.)

I'm betting they begged the trip money from some sympathetic suckered old lady in a church somewhere, or the like.
