Jill's personality disorder is in constant competition with her religious beliefs. The PD wins. It always wins.

Isn't there a verse about removing the log (or something like that) from your own eye before pointing out the ash in someone else's? Jill would be wise to look at herself first.......but I guess she still wouldn't see.

Oh please. There is way too much eyeliner in her eyes to notice the ash in anyone else’s eyes. Jill is all about Jill. Period.

I assume there are logs in both of her eyes, so she’s effectively blind to hypocrisy.

[crazy8s]

well Jill reads only the correct version of the bible so KJV - but hey they only ever quote the verses that condemn others.

Matthew 7:3-5

King James Version

3 And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?

4 Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye?

5 Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.

Notice how instead of looking lovingly at the kid, Jill is smiling/staring adoringly at the camera. Jill loves the camera.

JillR smiles as Janessa reaches up and is like, stop smooshing my head, bitch.

Janessa is actually really cute child.  Too bad she will look pale and sick very soon, and soon after will be covered with tons of make up

I think she looks a lot like Kaylee did when she was little, so she may grow up to be very pretty.

Jill posted some scripture on FB, and she prefaced it with her words, “I warn thee.”  WTH?  Is she trying to talk like Jesus now??  SMDH

My son is an adult but I have a cat and his toys are all over the house! 

Same with me and my 3 dogs! Dog toys, dog toy box, dog beds, dog treats, everything is dogs, mostly dog hair for the dog vacuum to clean up, even have dog laundry day! Not a dump in any way, just well lived in, just the way it was when I had 3 kids at home. Back then my kids came first, now my mutts do. It's called living!

Hair isn't too bad, he is a black cat and has very short hair, so shedding isn't too bad. 

So if Jill's kids don't really have toys, I wonder if the dog does? He is Tim's dog so maybe there is hope.

Jill needs an exorcist most likely.

And a hair dresser.

well she got that Cosmetology License in the 80s and hasn't learned anything new since.

From their blog

"Jill and her three sisters went to Christian School the first few years of their school years and then Jill’s parents felt burdened to pull their girls out of school and home school them. They were one of the pioneering home schoolers back in the 80’s and they did a great job!  They home schooled their girls until graduation.  During Jill’s junior and senior year of high-school, she worked hard and also obtained a cosmetology license."

Hopefully they at least throw him a bone every now and then.Or maybe he can find some sticks outside

Someone mentioned her or elsewhere that they wondered if he is an avid "faster" for God, going beyond what most people would do.

Jill often bragged about Tim fasting 'for the Lord' or whatever.  He was her favorite son because of it.  I wonder if he was doing it to leave more food for the younger children, and letting Jill pretend it was for a religious purpose.  When Tim escaped to college he plumped up a bit.  Now that he's back again, he's a bit thinner, but not as skeletal as before.  

Now that he's back, does Tim keep food hidden in his RV or make sure to eat more when away from the family?  Has he tried to clue Phillip in on what's going on or does he think that Phillip would tell Jill what he's said about the food issues?  The kids left at home are so indoctrinated into keeping Jill happy, could he slip food to them and not have them tell Jill in an effort to gain points with her?

The Rod family is so messed up, if Jill and what's his name were to die suddenly, I bet whoever took the kids on would find a ton of food related issues, not to mention all the other stuff.

There's enough problems in that family that a whole host of professionals of various disciplines would spend years trying to get those kids to a place where they had a chance to live life somewhat normally.

There's so much in that one sentence. First and foremost JillR is the parent and should make sure her kids do not fast too often or for too long. Second, in an environment like JillRs, fasting could definitely be a slippery slope for the obvious reasons.

[Albanyguy]

I'm not sure I believe that Tim or any of the other kids have ever "fasted", in the sense of voluntarily abstaining from food for religious reasons. I think that's just a dodge that Jill invented when people started commenting on how skeletal the kids are and accused her of starving them.

I hope Tim has qualified for food stamps for himself and hoards his food in his RV.

[Westiepeach]

Does anyone know if TimBits still has his job? Or was he fired for his SM post?

[sondraK]

Jill is so much like my mom was.I think they're haunted by the same demon.It would nearly kill my mom to give me lunch money every day for school.Iirc,lunch in 1971 was .25.She would push the quarter slowly across the counter,not wanting to take her hand off it.I guess she was wanting me to say I didn't want lunch that day,but I never did.If I was really lucky,I would manage to get .05 for dessert.But I nearly had to wrestle the nickel away from her.LOL

Reading things like this, I thank God for the beautiful and generous mom I had. My mom would have gone hungry for me. I miss her every day.

I think this garden is to grow decorative plants, not vegetables. I hope the kids didn't put too much energy into another Jill vanity project.

I’ve known people who’ve repurposed old household items in their gardens and it was charming. This... is not. It looks like they upended a kitchen stool and buried it for that one sad plant to grow on.
