They will LOOK better too..for about a day or so. All that sodium will bloat them and fill them out.

Oh my stars! I knew JillR had encountered a transgender person in the restroom but I had not actually read her full description. She is a true wacko. I’m sure she exaggerated quite a bit, but why did she feel endangered? Sounds like the person was merely applying makeup, not threatening or even paying attention to JillR. I especially like how everyone was so sympathetic to her and her beliefs, but still didn’t do anything. I would guess the manager and police just wanted to get rid of her.

I wouldn’t have been sympathetic . She doesn’t deserve it.

So this transgender person didn't look at her or talk to her or threaten her in any way, but she was hysterical and shaking. I hope she never has to live in the real world. I was at a beach in Cannes, France, where the bathroom stalls had no doors and you had to "do your business" while people walked by to the other stalls. And I survived, although I did have a little performance anxiety of trying to pee while people were walkin' on by. 

That's the problem with these people, when they isolate themselves so much that they can't handle anything at all. Her whole story basically proves the point that transgender people are no threat at all in the bathroom. 

 

 

 

 

Meanwhile she is screeching about “freedom.”

Tessie has model-like bone structure and a beautiful smile.  I hate to ponder if Jill looks at Tessie and sees competition or leverage....would she want to keep her forever on the homestead, like Jana, because she's so beautiful?  Or would she want to use her to hook a really good teevee Fundie (because let's face it, getting Nurie into the Duggar universe didn't work out so well).  We know Jill doesn't see Tessie as an individual with her own hopes and dreams or anything like that.

Probably the person was applying makeup in a tasteful and attractive way, which Raccoon Eyes found SEVERELY threatening.

Holy filters, Batman!  Turn the damn filter off, Jill!  Sadie is wearing an Amish dress, and Jill embarrassed her to death by making fun of the static in her hair.  It was more than evident that Sadie was embarrassed, but that didn’t stop Best Mama.  IMO, all of those children are embarrassed when Jill sticks the phone in their face, but BestMamaEver doesn’t care.  I don’t understand why Jill thinks that arm wrestling, going down a slide and every other mundane thing she posts would be of interest to anyone.  I truly think that Jill is delusional enough to believe that she and her family are fundie famous.

Jill looks like a drag queen. Way to pile on make up to clown proportions.

Jill looks awful. Clownish makeup, yes. But like a drag queen? No, IMO.

She should dream of ever looking as good as a drag queen.

One of my former co-workers is an old guy who's never been particularly handsome, and HE absolutely rocks it in drag. It takes attention to detail, effort, and good taste. Jill should WISH she had those things, but she's so busy hating in the name of Jesus that she'll never figure it out. 

[charmed1]

Jill’s stories of persecution all have the same structure.

Introduction:  A long description of 2 - 3 tragedies she’s currently experiencing (girl’s car crash, sister’s severely broken neck)

Body: How she was casually going about her day after an exhausting day of praising the Lord when all of a sudden ...

Main Idea: Some wanton heathen slut box assaulted her delicate sensibilities by asking her to follow rules or having the audacity to be minding their own business.

Conclusion: How could they be so cruel to meee? Our country is going to hell in a hand basket. Bible verses. Send money please.

It’s the same formula she used to tell the story of the “cold-hearted” nurse and the “fat, tattooed, blue hair moms.”

All that said, I can totally see Jill thinking it’s swanky.

I hope Tessie asks Jill to take her to a department store, like the Clinique counter, where they will show her how to apply tasteful makeup in an age appropriate way. I can always dream...

I doubt Jill ever gets one ounce of content from any sermon she listens to because she's so busy taking pictures and videos of Hunk, or whichever kid is "preaching" or "singing," or panning slowly across the congregation while they avert their eyes and hope the crazy lady will eventually put down her phone.

That won't work.  Jill thrives on being persecuted.  It's what she wants.  Jill purposefully flaunts the rules of any establishment and also the law because she wants someone to say something.  Then she can spin it into her and her family are being persecuted for their "Christian" beliefs.  The best course of action for Jill is to not give her oxygen.  Ignore her.

 

Also, trans people have enough on their plate.  Don't add to it with fake claims.

Isn't Tessie Jill's 'brown baby'?  I seem to recall her describing her kids and saying that the first batch all resembled her, light skin and hair (she said it, not me).  So, she prayed and prayed to Jesus to give her a brown baby that resembled David.  And, voila!  Tessie!  She might have used some other terminology, but she was referring to skin tone, etc. and it was kind of awful, but typical Jill.

Anyway, even though she repeatedly refers to David as handsome and hunky; there is no way that Jill doesn't feel that she herself is the epitome of feminine beauty and desirability.  So, if she sees Tessie as a female David, she probably doesn't think her looks can compete with the kids who she feels look more like her.

As for Tessie, she's a pretty little girl and its nice that she got an age appropriate outfit for her birthday rather than a hand-me-down polyester mother of the bride ensemble or something 4 sizes too large with a stained and ill fitting T shirt under it.

No, that's actually the next daughter-- Hannah, I think?-- who is also very pretty. Tessie used to be rather... awkward-looking (sorry!), but has really blossomed into a beautiful young lady.

All babies are homely at one point or another. 6 month old potato shaped me will agree! I think the remaining Rodlettes have some hope for being genuinely good looking folks. God willing.

There is a lot of commentary in general on appearance. And that goes both ways. Is it so important that a child (or adult) be “pretty?”

 I have friends who are overweight or spouses are and might not be hunky, but they are good people and that goodness shines through so I don't see them that way. I'm not bone skinny, neither is my spouse. 

I am not someone who mocks overweight people. I was nearly 200 lbs at one time and I was mocked. It isn't nice at all. This guy is a grifter, his children look skeletal and almost always look so forlorn, he has horrible views on things.... He thinks his own mother is going to hell. Look at Jeremy V., technically, he is a nice looking guy in pretty good shape, but that awful inside colors his outside and makes him ugly.

No. Sorry if my Tessie post crossed the line.

My wish for all the Rod children is that they get proper food and an escape from the cult/ their terrible parents. Whether they grow up to be better looking doesn't matter, but less emaciated and haunted-looking would be nice.

That's because he's not sitting placidly, vacantly staring slack-jawed at the camera with his ears sticking out.  Or he's not standing off to the side looking bored while he watches others work or play.  Or he's not looking up from a full plate of food while everyone else has either no food or very little.

Instead, his bulk and most of his ill-fitting suit is hidden behind the podium.  He's standing with an arm raised, more of an action shot.  His eyes are focused on something other than Jill or a plate of food, he looks awake and engaged with the audience.  His mouth isn't hanging open, it's partially closed as if he's forming words.  He's viewed from the side so his ears aren't prominently sticking out.  

Nothing wrong with that picture at all, until you hear what he's saying.  Then you're likely to feel a whole slew of negative emotions.

The taller the podium, the nicer the photo. It hides a multitude of sins. 

However, is it usual to have a big bunch of fake flowers wrapped around the microphone, competing with the speaker's face for attention? I'm short. I'd look like a talking bouquet.

I think those flowers are hanging with a piece of wood on the wall.  David seems to have a microphone clipped to his tie.  I'm pretty sure the fake flowers were part of Jill's 'design' for the church that we saw a couple months back.

Yes, they are either on the wall, or on a table behind him. Here’s a different screenshot  from the video :

Thanks. The two photos I saw made it look as if the flowers were in front of him. I know Jill decorated, so I assumed the podium was Jillisized too.
