I wonder how often the HUNK thinks about his sinful days and that demonic party. That was probably the last time he had fun! 

Now we know why Satan was hiding in the green bean can.  He just wanted to invite Jill to a demonic party. 😈

I think Satan just wanted to get out of the Rodriguii kitchen hell and get back to some sanity.

Is that Kaylee or Renee in the pink shirt on the right?  She seemed over it.  Embarrassed. And yes, their clothes are really sad.  

[riverblue22]

Those pathetic outfits certainly aren't finding any suitors for the older girls.  Do the Rods ever go to group meetups like Big Sandy? Or are they counting on random church visits with free food to also provide husbands for the girls?

[emmawoodhouse]

And they didn't even sing the right lyrics. Wanna bet Jill googled and got that incorrect version? 😂

Hell, if Nurie hadn't snared ANNA DUGGAR'S BROTHER, I doubt she would have been allowed to leave, either.

I was thinking that the older Not Nuries were looking better in those photos than other recent posts,  Around here, a lot of teens and young women wear those cotton knit skirts in the summer with a tee shirt.  Of course, they don't generally wear them to sporting events or color coordinate their looks so that they are wearing different shades of the same colors as their mother and other sisters, but those skirts look better to me than their heavy denim monstrosities or their 80's polyester promwear.

Big Sandy is for folks involved with ATI/Gothardism.  I don't think the Rodriguii are part of that specific sect.

Green bean can??  I somehow missed that story.  Please, do tell!

BTW, in case it hasn’t already been mentioned, JRod and Shrek have organized a church softball team.  You don’t want to miss hearing Jill and the girls bellowing “Take Me Out To The Ballgame”. 😣

[Tigregirl]

Jill probably tries to loudly and obnoxiously lead the team and spectators in some dramatic prayer before the game, between innings, and after the game.  She also probably further embarrasses her children by screaming “Praise Jesus!” whenever a good play is made.  In general I’m sure she makes a complete ass of herself at each game.

I wonder if Shrek has ever told Jill to just STFU? (Not in those exact words, of course, but you get my drift.)

If they were the cheerleaders at my church,I'd leave.They're just annoying and obnoxious.

Jill has even managed to take over the team now

Thank-you for the pic @ginger90.

I see that un-Godly music is acceptable if its FREE. I hope no one got a bounce in their step or a wiggle in their hips while that un-Godly FREE music was playing.

I don't know how many actual spectators were here at the Fundie T-Ball World Series, but I know that watching just a few seconds of the world's worst rendition of Take Me Out to the Ballgame caused me to cringe so hard I think I hurt myself.  I can't imagine listening to it in person and having to smile and clap for the crazy lady and her waifish choir in order to get her to shut up and sit down.  I wonder if the game came to a complete standstill while they were caterwauling because I highly doubt that Jill waited for the appropriate time to burst into song.  She's a lunatic.

That looks like it's the Chardon Polka Band.  I have heard them play and met them briefly.  Jill definitely did not hear any of the English lyrics of the songs they play.  They play the kind of polka that celebrates drinking, dancing and baby-making.

How did the Rod boys get those uniforms? The church must have paid for them. Even David got a shirt.

The long skirts on the cheer squad were probably polyester. The thrift store clothes Jill buys are outdated styles and fabrics.

I'm guessing that is shorthand for the "I'm listening to" thing you can add to posts.  It may be picking it up from the metadata on her phone, and it is spelled wrong there.  I have a typo in one of my tracks that I've left in because it amuses me:  somehow Queen's "Princes of the Universe" ended up as "Princess of the Universe"  and if that ended up tagged in one of my SM posts, I'd probably get a lot of side eye for it.   Jill, on the  other hand probably doesn't notice things like that.  It could even be one of her own creations.  She's narcissistic enough to think everyone wants to listen to her all the time, even her own family.

OMG!  It IS the Chardon Polka Band!  Those guys are great.  Actual musical talent.  They are not some fly by night operation, but actual professional musicians who take pride in their music.  And aren't above having a little fun with it.  

They started playing together in high school, around 20 years ago, when the guy who plays the accordian decided he wanted to have a band.  They have played all around the country and made a bunch of CD's of polka faves.

How very condescending of Jill to praise the adequacy of their musical skills.  She wishes she had even 10% of their talent.

In his softball uniform, Philip (?) looks so much like Anthony Perkins in Fear Strikes Out. Many of the kids are very good looking, aside from the Dickensian waif with rickets thing.

I had horrible nightmares about the Rodriguez family last night. It isn't the first time. The nightmares are always about the kids needing to be rescued, and (of course) not being able to help them. It is so strange having nightmares about strangers like this, but I guess this family just really unsettles me.

I think that's Sam.  I've always thought he looked a lot like young Anthony Perkins.  I think he's the most handsome of the boys.

Green bean can??  I somehow missed that story.  Please, do tell!

A few years ago, Nurie and David went on a mission to southern Africa (I can't remember which country) to convert them to the correct Jesus.  While he was gone, Satan was up to his tricks, causing Jilly all kinds of SEVERE problems such as cutting her finger while opening a can of green beans.  Also, right around that time she shared a story about people who sent a microphone into some deep hole and hearing the sounds of hell.  She also said that when the mic was retrieved, a small demon was holding onto the wire.  According to Jilly this was a serious news story and absolute gospel truth.  Somehow on the boards the little demon sort of was blamed for cutting Jilly's finger (SEVERELY) with the green bean can.  It was a funny story and I remember one poster did a great drawing of the green bean demon.  I wish I could post it because I loved it.  

Anyway, I now realize I've been reading these boards for a long time and probably remember more info from here than my job.  Maybe I need to get a life or maybe I can blame a green bean demon for my shortcomings.

Then by that logic, one should be able to tie a microphone to a balloon and send it on up to hear the sounds of heaven, no? 😇🤔

You know what?  You're right.  I was so busy laughing at the story that I never stopped to apply logic.  Maybe Jilly could have the kids do this as a school project.  You know, fundie science class.

On FB this morning JRod mentioned, again, the demonic party that Shrek attended before he found the Lord.  I would bet everything I own that there was no devil worshipping at that party.  There may have been some drinking and pot smoking, but she considers that demonic.    

My husband and I drank a few, smoked a joint and fell asleep watching 70s game shows last night. Sadly, we must have succumbed to our sins before Lucifer himself got to the party. No devil worship. Damn!

Yeah, but it will be hard for the Not Nurie’s to find husbands now. Nurie snagged herself one of “Anna Duggar’s Brothers.” I know Nathan’s brother is his business partner and of marriageable age, but does he want to join the JillRod Circus after seeing it in action? Does ANY boy want to join the JillRod Circus??
