If the Rods are singing for their supper that performance wouldn't rate a stick of chewing gum.

I don't know.  I think the harmonica really elevates the tune.

[crazy8s]

we are here with "a lot of our children"  i think 11 are shown though janessa vanishes from gabriel's arms in the video before the singing starts.

so they are missing Nurie who they are maybe still mourning and Timothy who is out of favor, or has to work at his oh so godly handyman service business

So, Marjorie is much less off the fundie bandwagon than people were speculating.

Is that the same place Josh used to work at?

The very same.

Jill's lecture about "being born again" reminds me of how some religions might regard being born again into the Rodrigues family as a punishment for bad behavior in a previous life. I guess coming back as a bug is worse, but bugs are spared listening to the insufferable rants of Plexus-addicted Jill Rodrigues.

The Governor of Ohio has ramped up the mask mandate.  I bet Jill is just thrilled. 😜

She doesn't care and she won't follow the guidelines, as she travels through multiple states.

Marjorie loves "buying plane tickets"? What the hell? And great, Marjorie can try to influence people to hate others and save embryos, just what we needed, but do it with pretty pictures.

So...as a newly minted college grad with a degree in advertising, her boss went to the Soviet Union as a campus minister in the big wave of fundies that started hitting USSR/Russia to convert back in the late 80s, early 90s.

And in the mid-'90s he started the blog he still maintains, called "truePravda."

Things that make you go "Hmmmmm...."

They sound like the International Silver String Submarine Band from The Little Rascals, except without the talent.

I had no idea that buying plane tickets was such a great hobby.

Can’t stand FRC and their acolytes, but Marjorie dodged the biggest bullet ever.

That did not bring me joy or peace. It did bring me a little vomit in the mouth, though.

Yeah I get the impression the Duggars themselves are what put her off, and I can't say I blame her for that. But she must be a real Kool Aid guzzler to work there. 

[awaken]

I found out a relative named their baby janessa last week. I thought of Jill. First time I’ve heard of another janessa!

[BigBingerBro]

It makes we wonder if FRC knew about Marjories previous connection to the Duggars.  Granted it was what, less than a year, and are probably safe with her, but they certainly should be vetting any new hires as much as possible in that area.

Thank you for this @doodlebug.  I love The Little Rascals.  This really made me laugh.

Well, in her favor, she had nothing to do with Smuggar. She was with Josiah just a couple of months. I'd call it no harm, no foul. 

[Zella]

Seems like a potential thing to bond over--they both dumped a Duggar. 😉

I actually like the name Janessa.  It's actually more common than you think.

It's actually the secret to Expedia's success...they just sell hobbyists plane tickets, like how the post office sells collectible stamps.

I think it's a clumsy way to say that she likes to travel .

I'm in the midwest and I can think of 4 Janessas off the top of my head, all in their late teens early 20s.  I used to like that name a lot.

We have a kid who comes in the library named Janessa. She's maybe about 8, 9, 10. It's a pretty name. I never thought of it as a made-up name from Jill.

She dumped Josiah immediately after the Josh scandal broke. Could be a coincidence, but I think it's likely that she'd have stuck around if it weren't for that.

That's a really good point! 

[iwantcookies]

I’d pronounce it Yanessa if I saw it written down as Janessa. 
 

Janessa Duggar has a nice ring to it. 

[emmawoodhouse]

Jill doesn't see the irony in this? Rhetorical question. 😁

Too bad Marjorie didn't stick with Josiah--she'd be reduced to a life of birthin' babies.  Now she has a job with FRC where she can contribute her talents to their propaganda.  I'm not happy to see a competent person going there.

I'm laughing at the shirts, not because I don't support law enforcement, but because Trace washed out of being a volunteer cop pretty quickly. Walking around with a badge and gun is only fun when you aren't in any real danger, I guess.

The strictest, most hard core religious people I know are also hard core gun enthusiasts who promise to shoot to kill if anyone steps on their property.  Or looks as if they might step on their property.  Then they go to church and recite "as we forgive those who trespass against us".  I'm far from anti-gun, but I hate it when people glorify them.

[auntieminem]

I don't get the whole gun thing with the fundies.  Jesus was the ultimate pacifist. So much I don't understand about them, so anti teachings of Jesus.

Too bad they are conceited and stuck up.

[madpsych78]

Those tight jeans though

[GeeGolly]

Seriously, is that a passive threat from Trace and Lawson?

Not so seriously, do they realize those pictures look like promo stills from a really bad parody of Sound of Music? I can hear Weird Al in the background doing a parody mash of Climb Every Mountain and My Favorite Things.

[Chicklet]

Us women don't get it, it's MANLY stuff, they are MANLY christians and we better not forget it. They also have the brain power of a water buffalo but how does that matter in their daily life?

They look like gay porn actors. Seriously, it looks like stills from a gay porn movie about two seemingly manly men who discover their true love for each other during a weekend away hunting wild game.

Idk? I mean,it sounds like the $ isn't bad,unless they pay women less.Recall Smuggar made enough to buy time with a porn star,live near DC,and sign up for a secret affair site. He even paid the extra $250 to make sure he would have an affair.

I wonder if Marjorie is just towing the line for the paycheck?

I got no sound.  Is it just me, or were the videos posted that way?

Why does every child stop everything to give the camera a huge smile?  The only people who do that in my world are kids who mug for the camera.

[Oldernowiser]

So...let me see if I have this right...masks are for wimps, because Jesus will protect the righteous, but assault rifles are absolutely necessary for “protection”?

Those two are bigger posers than RFP and I didn’t think that was possible.
