Because it’s all sixteen varieties of narcissistic lying bullshit?

Not to mention a big fat violation of social distancing rules, assuming any of it is true. Which it isn’t, unless you count “running down the street screeching and waving a bible at innocent passersby until they tell you to shove it” as “saving.”

Since I like to either play dumb or annoy the scammers on the phone until they hang up or swear at me, I think I would have a blast if Jill tried to save me. I would either be the most evil person in the world miraculously brought to my knees in gratitude, or try to convert her to some bizarre made up religion and continue to follow her and bring her to my twisted light. I could have a lot of fun with this!

I vote for the fake religion thing.LOL

The Maxwells seem to have the same definition of social distancing as the Rods. They're not hosting their sons/daughters-in-law/grandchildren, but as long as they're outside Mary and Anna can be up close with the grandchildren.

Steve's latest columns for his Seriously series are about the virus. The Maxwells are happy that kids and families are home together, but Steve is disappointed they're playing video games, watching television, etc. Steve says coronavirus is the perfect opportunity to get rid of your television. The next article is about how God is good, even when times are bad.

Well, currently DeWine has said weddings in Ohio can happen, he's just saying the reception shouldn't have more than 10 people. I'm doubting he took into account a fundie wedding of idiots though. Honestly, if we are still under shelter in place and they do actually decide to have one at the time, I'll post the info for the state and county here for us all to call and turn them in.

Good! We may need you to bust up the Maxwell wedding that maybe in Ohio. It's scheduled for May 23rd. Nurie and Nathan's date is July.

Revelation 20:14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire.

If there is no more death,there is no more hell,either.

Death is in the lake of fire.Hell is in the lake of fire.Neither exist anymore.

I bet fundies hate critical thinking skills

Apparently running away as fast as possible while yelling "All right! All right! I'll accept your damn correct Jesus if you'll just shut up and leave me the heck alone!" is the sign that a person has been saved.

Insert Username · April 10, 2020

What is her definition of saved? If the person just says "Sure" when she asks if they accept Jesus as their Lord and Savior" does that count without them having to do any work (such as going to church, studying, going through a conversion ceremony, or doing good works) at all? What if the kids were already Christian and just said "sure" when she asked the question. Does she count that as saving them, even though they may go to the "wrong" church?

I find it hard to believe that that many people find her instantly compelling and charismatic. I think she counts anyone who replies to her as being saved by her.

Fostersmom · April 10, 2020

Jill's trying to get Corona while the Amish are making masks for The Cleveland Clinic. The Cleveland Clinic, one of the best hospitals in the world can't get the supplies it needs, but Jill's "social distancing" with random friends, will save her because they are outside.

BetyBee · April 10, 2020

I don't believe for one minute that Jill "loves" her "haters." She smugly thinks that she is saved and her so called haters will burn in a lake of fire. There's nothing loving or Christian about that.

True confession: when I see those little pamphlets, I throw them away. They’re always stuck in the elevators at the hospital. I am Christian, but the little pamphlets bother me so much! I don’t think they are left with the intent of being helpful or comforting. They are left so someone can tick a box and feel good about themselves without actually helping anyone.

In case you think I am a monster, sometimes I bring them home and compost them 😉

I would think destroying one of God's creations to print something that is immediately thrown away wasn't what she had in mind when she created the trees.

People frequently leave those things in the waiting room in my office and all around the hospital, too. We also get Chick pamphlets and stuff from the JW’s. Every single one goes direct to the circular file.

One of the midwives had a patient who was fundy and came to every visit with her husband and her multiple other blessings. We noticed that, after every visit, there were Chick tracts all over the waiting room including a bunch that bashed Catholics as well as Muslims, Jews and anyone not like them. We confronted her about it, told her we were practicing Catholics and we found it offensive. She, being such a good Christian, denied up and down that they had done it as did her husband. Miraculously, the monthly carpet bombing of religious hate never happened again.

The Rods are just the sort to dump that garbage in random waiting areas without asking and play dumb if confronted.

I think her definition of saved is anybody who waits until they are out of Jill’s sight to throw away her probably-Coronavirus-ridden pamphlets.

beckie · April 10, 2020

Maybe Jill's definition of "social distancing" is going the distance to annoy someone into being "saved".

BradandJanet · April 10, 2020

I'd rather cheer for the two who got away than pray for the two who got "saved." Why do those two need our prayers? Why would "haters" like us pray to Jill's god anyway? This is really about Jill's ego. It's always about Jill's ego.

For some reason, this takes me back to the Oral Roberts healing sessions on TV way, way back when. As a little kid, I was fascinated when a person would crawl up to the alter groaning in pain and unable to stand, Roberts would lay on hands and loudly pray for the person to be healed, and the person would miraculously jump up and strut back to his seat. The donations poured in. Jill should think about upping her game a bit.

Chicklet · April 10, 2020

And then Oral Roberts went bankrupt. Ta Da!

Guess a supreme being wasn't all that impressed with his behavior.

I'm guessing that Jill and her gang of grifters run perilously close to bankrupt themselves so hey they are just like the greats eh?

Well, he did pull that stunt of locking himself in his tower to fast for donations.

Jill and Shrek don't fast, of course; they have kids to do that for them.

The sheer stupidity of this family just increases exponentially by the day. Let's have a fire in the backyard while there are (more likely than not) wind warnings in the area. Does Jill plan on going full grift to get the money to pay the township or county back the costs for fighting a brushfire? Don't forget to haul out your emaciated children to get more cash. My mom lives about 3 hours from the Rods, and her area had wind warnings today and yesterday. Most municipalities have specific days set aside for burn days. Someone needs to find out what the rules are in her area and report if necessary.

I was incredible sick with debilitating headaches in my early teens, and our family doctor wanted me to come in one evening after hours to make sure we weren't dealing with meningitis. As my parents brought me home, we realized out street was blocked off at one end. Our idiot neighbor decided to have a "little bonfire", it was windy, and the embers were carried up the hillside to an onramp of a state highway. It takes one ember to get a catastrophic fire raging. She is just flat out stupid.

TresGatos · April 11, 2020

Jill and Shrek's ministry makes me think of a couple who used to come in the library. They didn't have pamphlets but they had these yellow quarter-sheet thinks headlined You Will Burn in Hell" with an illustration of fure and screaming people who looked like they had been sent there in the 1950s and then steps for avoiding hell which they used to glue inside the covers of library books. At least the Rods don't do that? (Maybe libraries are too sinful for them to enter?).

According to Jill, Nurie is still getting married this July.

The JillRod family was singing at Joy Baptist Church of Wayne County. If you click on 4-5-20, and listen at 12:20, you can hear them sing (screech and shrill is more like it and be prepared to laugh your heads off, seriously)!

If you click on 3-8-20, you can hear David preaching about Kneel Instead Of A Meal. So I guess they do fast? I did not listen at all to David as I can't stomach hearing him preach.

Anyway, Jill was explaining how they had to learn to sing without Nurie, since she's getting married in July.

If David fasts (which I doubt), just imagine how he would look if he didn't. I can't see Jill fasting either. She's either breastfeeding, pregnant, or trying to get pregnant.

We know the kids fast. Jill has bragged about it. I think the kids were fasting so there would be food for the younger children. Jill and David use their religion to manipulate and control.

So they're taking 'all of the recommended steps' except for the ones that have been show to actually prevent spread of the virus. Covidiots. Jesus wept.

There seem to be 3 situations that lead to clusters of Covid cases throughout the world: jails, nursing homes and church services. There have been hundreds of clusters of cases identified that stemmed from church gatherings all over the world including S. Korea, Arkansas, France, Georgia and Illinois. But, yet, God wants these people to continue to have communal church services. Just like He wants those folks in the hills in Kentucky to handle poisonous snakes, I guess.

Duggar family friend Kristen Nicole Young posted pictures of herself at a wedding in Hot Springs Arkansas. It was within the last two weeks. It's on Instagram as a normal post. She says they "social distanced" but she's clearly standing next to the bride and the groom. Who knows how many people took pictures with the bride and groom?

Also this may be mean, but Kristen went dressed like an old timey opera singer lounging in her dressing room. I get she likes the boho look, but she's underdressed for a wedding.

AFAIK Nurie and Nathan can get married in July or whenever- the question is, can they have a big wedding with lots of guests, etc. I wonder if that Joy Baptist Church is holding weddings in addition to Sunday services. And if so, would the church allow a reception within their facilities, or marriage ceremony only.
