It’s obvious the hunk hasn’t been to a gym in a decade. 
 

Just one decade? 😂

I was trying to be nice 🤣

It’s obvious the only exercise the hunk does involves procreation or lifting a spoon

JRod has a new IG post, and she and Shrek (“my hunk”) are in a gym somewhere, supposedly working out.  She is working out with a skirt on.  In a previous post, David is in a church pulpit speaking to the congregation about his printing business.  He insinuates that it’s a sin to be cremated.  

Here's the post, special attention to the third pic where she appears to be wearing slutty leggings and BOOTS on the exercise bicycle with her handbag sitting behind her. My hunch is that she and Shrek commandeered the workout room of some local building to stage the "workout" and left after she took her crappy pictures.

#loveplexus got me hysterically laughing 

 

I want to know how much weight her hunk gained during the challenge?

[ozziemom]

JillR is looking more and more deranged in every new post. She spends so much time posing, she must not have time for anything else.

Goodness knows, she doesn’t read books!

If those pictures are new... put a damn mask on, Jill. Even if they aren’t new... maybe let other people browse the books in peace?

I’m sure it was just to proselytize!  “Daniel in the bookstore!”

Strangely, my fundamentalist dad does too. I think they believe it’s a desecration to the body. I’m not sure what they’re thinking happens once one is buried. 

[farmgal4]

JRod has ANOTHER post on IG. (WTH is she doing, trying to make Nurie jealous??) In this post the older kids are doing science experiments- the same science experiments that 2nd graders do in public schools.  I’d bet everything I own that the kids don’t have a clue as to why the experiments had the reaction that they did.  Teenagers doing 2nd grade science experiments... I truly have no words. 😶

She wants you to know she’s a homeschooling mama!

If cremation is a sin, what is living in a house in which every inch is covered with cheap, flammable paper crap? 

If Jill wants exercise, she should try housework and childcare. David is obviously beyond caring.

JillR definitely reads here or maybe another snark site. We have all been wondering about the kids doing school work. 

[Insert Username]

So, the "kids" often write paeans to the glory that is Jill and how she is the mother of all mothers and the most wonderful person to ever grace the planet with her presence...have "they" ever written anything praising David? Jill writes plenty about her "hardworking" "hunk" but I can't remember anything from the "kids" (I know, I know, the "kids" and Jill are one and the same person).

We have not seen any posts praising Shrek but now that you have put the idea out there, we should be seeing one of the not Nuries or Timbits posting soon.

Hey Jill make sure the kids gift David a stuffed Bear and a few dozen donuts.

Good idea. Double Jill's stuffed animal collection and David's gut size at the same time. 

[iwantcookies]

In all seriousness David  should have joined the 2 week challenge maybe he would have lost a few pounds. I’m surprised he is still alive/no heart attack.

Susanna is a private account. Is she announcing a pregnancy?

I'm guessing the "big Sister" T-Shirt is a clue 😜

I know someone for 4 years. She cycled through 3 fiancées already.

She is currently married. She got married last year.  It must be hard being ex-fundie. I give her props for leaving the fundie world and not settling for a fundie marriage.

Aren't part of experiments learning & explaining why things happen? The Rods seem to have missed that or at least we weren't told.

@Churchhoney so did she marry any of the 4 fiancées???

Yeah, like Susanna Keller with her string, she did. She married the oldest and most successful one. Very successful. And then she destroyed his very successful life in a rather spectacular fashion, they divorced and she quickly moved on to somebody else. lol 

Hope this isn't the story of Susanna Keller or any of her betrothed! 

But serial (or simultaneous) engagements probably aren't a sign of, you know, much stability. 😊

Why do all these people look alike? I would've said the above pic consists of Pricilla's guy (kinda roughed up),  Smuggar's oldest kid, and Anna.

They must fish in the same gene pool. I'll give JillR credit for marrying someone a little different. That's all I've got right now.

Well, it is Anna's sister and niece, so that sort of makes sense.  My sister's youngest daughter looks so much like me that it is ridiculous.

is Nurie pregnant yet? I bet Jill asks weekly.

Just weekly? The poor girl is probably grilled every time they talk or text.

Maybe.  But I think there's an equal chance that Jill hopes Nurie doesn't get pregnant until Jill has her own positive test.  Since we know Jill is hoping to get pregnant again, it would most likely be torture for her to have to sit back and watch Nurie get all the attention, while Jill has a letdown every month.  Even though she's had thirteen children, it wouldn't surprise me in the slightest if she feels she somehow knows the pain of infertility.  🙄

One thing is for sure, Anna's face looks pregnant and she has her girls snug in front of her mid-section.

Every time Anna pees on a stick, a still small voice in Jim Bob's head repeats "I will multiply thy seed as the stars of the heaven, and as the sand which is upon the sea shore." 

And Jim Bob answers -- "Sigh......"

Psssh. People are always saying Anna's or Jessa's or whoever's face looks pregnant, and they're usually not.

Very true, however...  the odds lean toward a pregnancy for Anna. A tad soon, but she gives birth in odd years, so she if she isn't right now, she will be soon.

But that picture - between her face and hiding her middle, screams pregnancy. Then again, she is with Jessa, so Jessa may have said, oh, oh, hide your middle so we can get 'em all speculating, you'll get more clicks.

So that child had open heart surgery less than a month ago and in the space of a week she has spoken at the Bates' church and travelled to Arkansas to the petri dish that is the TTH?

WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH THESE PEOPLE?  There were 100000 new cases yesterday.  That child is vulnerable.  With all that was involved to get her to the US for her surgery, why are they so cavalier about her possible exposure to a virus that might very well kill her?

ETA:  Anna has limited comments on the post.  Probably deleted any calling them out on the lack of masks and distancing.  What a coward she is.

Because they know for a fact that it's all a big hoax: the number of deaths has been greatly exaggerated by the media, catching COVID is no worse than a bad cold, masks and social distancing do nothing to prevent the spread of the virus; everybody knows that children can't catch the virus and most importantly, they have special magical protection because Jesus.

[DangerousMinds]

It turns out Covid is more of a vascular disease than a respiratory one, many who survive end up with permanent heart, kidney, or other long term damage. They are despicable to allow her to be exposed like this.

I don't doubt where they get their news from, and it's the same place where so many other people have as well.  For months, I have heard people whispering that the death count and the total number of cases has been inflated because hospitals, doctors, states, etc get more money for every covid related death.

And none of that is true. Also, the Bates of all people should now know better as several of them have contracted the disease.

My daughter and her husband are both doctors.  They each had their pay cut- their combined income is down almost 30%- due to COVID.  The only money to be made is in the development of a vaccine.  Why these lies are being spread is beyond me.

Erin Bates Paine had a case that she has implied was much worse than a bad cold.
