So, basically this is Jill's idea of creating Renee's ChristianMingle profile on IG. 

Glamour Shots gone wild!

Her head looks way too big for her emaciated body.  And JRod took everyone of those pics.

David and Jill went out to dinner. Didn’t mention taking any of the kids with them. 

They’d better be saving their money.  It may be months before they can go from church to church, grifting meals and relying on love offerings to pay the bills.

The last picture looks like a really bad photoshop.  If it's real she must be a neck contortionist.

Chaste and meek? She's definitely getting her ready for market

[Insert Username]

It looks like she took one good picture and photoshopped that head on every pose

[galaxychaser]

Maybe she photoshopped Jazz Jennings face onto the body?

FU INTERNET!!!!!11111

[Nysha]

The Internet may shame her and Shrek into actually feeding their children. 

[Sew Sumi]

I love how she asks "How about you?" but turns off the comments. 😂

[Mojitogirl]

I shop at Aldi. We are a family of 6.  Her cart is barely enough for 2 weeks for us and I make normal meals plus usually (not now, obviously) the 3 oldest boys eat lunch at school.  She must be planning on shopping at Aldi every week and social distancing be damned!  Based on my experience, that cart tells me they don’t feed their kids very much at all.

I keep looking at all that chunky soup. She could feed her family so much healthier and cheaper making homemade soup. I wonder how many kids she stretches each can to feed. 

[BigBingerBro]

Well at least the kids will get a 1/2 cup of canned soup and a cream puff if they say their prayers.

[JoanArc]

 I think you’ve all misunderstood, that’s *David’s* basket, the children get nothing. 

[galaxychaser]

Jill definitely reads this site. One can of soup for the kids to share.  The older ones will fast for Jesus.

Oh antivaxxers are already out in force complaining about the yet to be developed vaccine. I've read about a few. And NIH is already starting clinical trials.

Just put them all on an island and let them be. Then our herd immunity won't be compromised. I have a niece who had a liver transplant last year not to mention several older relatives who are susceptible so they can't make it happen soon enough.

I hear you, @Chicklet. I have a mother who is HIV+ (has been for 24 years now!) and she has pneumonia right now. It’s killing my fiancé and I to be apart but I’m with her, making sure she’s taken care of. I hope your niece and other family are all staying safe! 🙂

That's nowhere near enough food for the amount of people she claims to be feeding. It is enough food for her and Shrek and maybe Nurie and a NotNurie. Fucking idiot.

There is a singing video. The boy playing the guitar looks angry. No fake smile from him.

[Sew Sumi]

Jill must have TONS of footage. What's up with the picture dump today?

 

[emma675]

Hey, Jill, sweetie, dumbass. I don't care how "VERY sanitary" it was, if one person was carrying the virus, everyone there was potentially infected. Moron.

[awaken]

“Rest your fevered minds”???!!!  A VERY sanitary conference!  😂

[sondraK]

I love how Jill speaks to the rest of us sluttish dressers and heathens,whose kids stay on ipads and electronics all day,turning their brains to mush

Even by Jill Rod standards, that phrasing is magnificently batshit crazy. I want to steal the line "a very sanitary conference" and just drop it into casual conversation with some unsuspecting soul. 

[GeeGolly]

Well shit then. We're all good as long as we only congregate in VERY sanitary places. Why didn't the CDC think of that?

[Normades]

I feel bad for Renee.  I think she has grown into a really pretty girl, but my goodness that hair and make up just ruin her.  She seems very eager to please her mother, too, which really makes me sad because I don't think that's possible.  I really hope she doesn't hear about the comments criticizing her pictures because it's definitely not her fault they came out like that.  

[galaxychaser]

The big yellow bag in the bottom of the cart is rice? 
 

Those creme puffs are delicious 😋. Sadly doubt the kids will get any.

I agree. I also don't care for the pictures of Renee in front of the pond with scum on top. There had to be a better location.

i feel bad for her a bit too. in so many pics she seems to have been directed to do some pose that mama wants, but is unnatural to Renee and then she's told to smile.

to me, in each pic her face and her eyes seem afraid  "like this you mean?' or "am i doing it right?" and with that fear of doing it wrong she is weirdly posed and told to smile.

I think maybe that's why the pics seem so awkward

Directly following the "highlighting the untouched and empty quiver while wearing a maternity-friendly schmatta " shot.

Big Dave is using his little Twiggy to camouflage his ready-to chow-down gut.

[GeeGolly]

What kind of mother repeatedly puts her kids' lives at risk during a pandemic? And for what, music lessons, Walmart and the grocery store?

[GeeGolly]

If all schools are online and most businesses closed, what kind of job could Timmy have, to have to return to whatever state his school is in?

[galaxygirl76]

On Reddit people were saying that back when the Duggars just started their specials they would go shop and had multiple carts full of food and this were normal shopping trips. Their family at the time was roughly the same as the Rods are now. The Rods cart is full of sugary, processed junk. No fruit or veg in sight fresh, frozen or even canned. There appears to be one loaf of bread for all of them. Please Jill, you are not fooling any of us.

Also, make your own damn soup. It will be more nutritious and way cheaper than those cans

[galaxychaser]

It’s recommended one person go shopping. Rest stay home. Betcha everyone was there touching everything.

[BradandJanet]

If any one person in that family picks up coronavirus, it will spread through the whole group like wildfire. They live on top of each other, they're out in places they shouldn't be, the kids are undernourished, and I doubt there's much washing and sanitizing. Best Mama and Best Papa are too uneducated and self-centered to believe it could happen to them, but given the projections, it most certainly could. Nurie should elope and get out now.

Maybe he's secretly fleeing.....Because he can't openly say he'd rather be somewhere other than with Jill.....he's too cowed and brainwashed .... But a big part of him wants to be....So he's inventing a false excuse to get away? 

He has left home and gone quite a distance in search of a quixotic career dream....and done it twice even though the first time was probably a humiliating disaster.......So I can see him living kind of a double life as he gradually tries to shed his Stockholm syndrome, poor little sucker. ... 

Hey, it could be true! I so much want more for all these kids.....And the "more" is out there -- difficult as it would/will be for any of them to eventually get it ... 

This is my second cherished-delusion post in about 5 minutes. I really really want more for these kids.....And I can't believe that there are none of them who want it, too.

Doesn't Tim have a deal to live with a church family in exchange for chores, or am I imagining I read that?  I doubt the Rods are sending him any money, and even if they are, it will be drying up soon. 

[Sew Sumi]

Tim had a real job in WI, according to Jill. Doing what is anyone's best guess. But that may have covered tuition. Fox Valley isn't as cheap as the regular community college.

That’s what I noticed first. Unless they’re buried somewhere underneath all that processed crap, there’s not one vegetable in that cart. Maybe Jill or whomever took the photo has the shopping cart with the fruits and vegetables (yeah right).

[Sew Sumi]

Update on Judy. She got to the hospital and was diagnosed with Influenza B. Still not something you want to pass on to a quadriplegic like Amy, who is asking for prayers because her kids are sick.

As if Jill would ever be able to resist showing us every bit of food they actually bought had there been more to show!

Yeah, as I noted when it was first posted, that full to bursting cart was totally an FU INTERNET!!!!!1212 moment. If she had produce, she would have shown it.

I looked at the photos Jill posted from that conference - the one Judy attended. In the photos where Jill was posing with people, she wasn't merely standing next to them, she was hugging them and had her damn face smacked right up next to theirs. Literally cheek to cheek.

And now we know one attendee had Influenza B. 

Sanitary conference, my arse. 

EDITED later to add: @Sew Sumi, who is a reliable source with a grasp of facts about these folks that I highly admire (and could never achieve), has corrected me. JillR didn't call her own conference - the one Judy attended - "sanitary." (It was a later conference she attended.)

I stand corrected. However, since JillR's conference went ahead in early March AFTER the coronavirus was spreading in the US, it bears noting that she apparently took no steps to protect attendees and was apparently out there hugging and mugging for the camera. And, it turns out, one attendee had Influenza B.
