How does a car “violently slip on ice?” Are cars violent? Is Tim’s car named Christine, by chance? Jill must teach this violent car the ways of the Lord.

You must be new here. The car would be named Jill.

I am a Christine and I think Jill is more appropriate!

JRod has posted pictures on FB of her and her “girlies” having a “day out”.  There’s a short video and BME’s voice, and then Renee’s, is like nails on a chalkboard to me.  I wonder if Jill made them talk like that when they were little and now it’s second nature?  Was it part of the brainwashing that goes on in that family?

Jill keeps the kids fairly isolated and in her direct control. People in cults sometimes pick up the cult leader's speech patterns. I doubt Jill is actively teaching the kids to talk in her creepy baby-talk style, but I'm sure they get morsels of praise for mirroring her, and Jill gets to start working on them at birth.

I agree, Jill's kids, have virtually no exposure to anyone else's speaking voice, especially women.  They don't have TV, don't go online without supervision, they don't go to school or have friends.  Their church doesn't allow women to preach.  The kids all sound strange when speaking and I think it is mostly because Jill probably is either doing the sickly sweet babytalk when she's filming or yelling at them/chastising them when she's not.  So, they mimic her speech pattern, especially her 'nice Mama' voice.

How do Carlin and Evan feel about Brandon and Michaela who have prayed for a baby, but cannot conceive? Why won't God bless them?

I doubt Carlin can be bothered to acknowledge anyone else, much less give a damn about them.

I don't think any of the Bates kids give Michael a second thought (until they need a babysitter, of course). She's never included in anything that doesn't benefit someone else.

A “day out” from what, for goodness sake. They just got home from a long vacation.

I wonder if it ever occurs to her that people might think she's a single mother when she goes out with the girls? She seems to think that's an awful thing.

No, she thinks everyone thinks it’s a bunch of girls out having fun. Like no one notices she’s older than the girls. They’re all sweet friends after all.

Jill's posting up a storm. She has no clue about the origins of Labor Day. She posted a rendering of a little boy holding a rifle and a flag next to a dog also holding a flag. WTF?

Doesn't know the meaning of LABOR Day?  Maybe because she doesn't know the meaning of labor.  Jill thinks that bragging about being a  judgmental,  ignorant cult member in order to get people to give you stuff is a career.  Not surprised she doesn't understand the concept.

Who believes everything they read? Unfortunately, she’s teaching her kids to believe in a book of fairy tales and not teaching them any critical thinking skills.

Yeah, those poor kids are being raised with an especially narrow worldview. Even more narrow than the Duggars or Bateses. About the only family I can think of who is similar is the Plaths. But 3 of their 4 adult children have fled the cult.

I'm pretty sure her little child workers don't get to take breaks when the Hunk needs them to help out with his printing 'job'.

Well TFDW and Pris are continuing their boy / girl schedule. Gender reveal baby #6 is a girl, so they will have 3 of each.

As much as I hate to give them any credit, in the vid, you can see the stuff in the grill and the stuff on the plates at the same time. So I actually thought they had a lot of food (if it was just their kids).

The neat freak/nerd in me is happy they're continuing their boy/girl every-other-year schedule.

The normal person in me is happy because the Waller kids always look clean, well-fed, and happy. So do the parents. They might have abhorrent beliefs, but they love and value their kids. Take a hint, Jill-Fraud.

I cannot wait for that series! There are a couple of good podcasts about MLMs too. That reminds me to check out the Reddit MLM thread, haven’t done that in a while.

I think Nurthan is going Biblical not trendy. Or maybe King James Keller since JillR is so obsessed with KJV of the Bible.

I keep forgetting to post about the Maxwells. Stevehovah has released his two younger daughters, Anna and Mary, to attend college OUT OF STATE in West Virginia at Appalachian Bible College! 

This is HUGE for them. One of the girls actually wrote an essay, published on the blog, about the evils of college and why she wouldn't attend.

I imagine this is more about finding husbands than it is about obtaining any real education. I'm happy for them, though.

He couldn't find a bible college in Kansas? Weird. I wonder why he decided to send them to college and why it has to be so far away.

More Maxwell news. I had forgotten a Maxwell son (they're interchangeable) and his creepy wife had a preemie a couple months back.
