If a person/family was never featured on any of the Duggar shows, and is not related to the Duggar family by blood or marriage, they do not need to be discussed here..

We may all agree that David Rodriques is quite unfortunate looking, but let's refrain from comparing human beings to apes, its got way too much of a loaded history- please review the new Inclusion Policy updated May 1, 2022 , which details guidelines around discussing body type, capabilities, physical appearance etc. Additionally, using body size as an insult is not allowed.

I agree, the accident was scary and I don't blame her for being upset about it.  It's just that her first instinct, upon arriving at the hospital ER, was to photograph her daughters lying on backboard

In what way would ANYONE other than this idjit consider vaginal birth to be 'non-conventional'.  Even in this day and age, most births are vaginal.  As to the 'little to no pain meds', once again, sou

where would they ride them though? surely they would not be allowed to ride down a road or a bike trail without Jill there because some slut in shorts might also be out riding a bike and tempt the poor boys.

riding bikes around the garden graveyard wouldn't be much fun

I was an avid bicyclist when I was young, and recall the freedom I felt riding all around our NJ township.  I'm sure JillR doesn't want her kids having any feelings of being free.

Yep. Two of them in fact.  They went to Tessie and Hannah a few years ago. Unclear if they still have them or have passed them down to Olivia and Sadie. 

Or gave them to BME to put with her stuffed animal collection on the closet shelf.

Didn't they have bikes in West Virginia? I thought there was a video of the older Rodlets silently riding bikes around and around in a circle in their driveway. One of Jill's attempts to show how much the children love to play together and they are all best friends.

It reminds me of convicts circling the yard during their exercise period.

I will say that despite some of the other "poetry" he has been exposed to ( just going by other things I've seen Jill post, on the assumption that she thinks they have merit), he does have a marginally better sense of meter than a lot of what's out there. He has taken some pains to give a sense of flow to the whole thing. 

Sorry - this was in reference to Phillip's poem a few pages back. I'm babysitting today, and didn't get a chance to notice how much further on this thread had gone.

The barndo is in a fairly isolated area, and there is a long driveway to the main road that passes just a couple of houses. It's really a perfect place to ride bikes without being defrauded.

Bikes cost $. Jill and hunky are not buying the kids anything. Guess they did not grift any. 

That could be it. Jill was not going to shell out her evil government money on the kids when there was primitive decor to purchase. Still, anyone who can grift a house (WV) should be able to pick up a few bicycles and other things suitable for children and teens. 

Maybe the problem is the kids have no free time to play. Jill schedules a few activities like splashing in a drainage ditch for her photos and videos, but who knows what they do the rest of the time. Well, we know they stuff envelopes, dust plastic flowers, and plant rock gardens. 

Speaking of work, I wonder how Jill's Creamy Ivory shop is going? Maybe the pastor's wife is still standing at the booth waiting for Jill to return from her "quick errand."

Maybe if he had more opportunities, he could be a poet or a writer? Sadly, unless he breaks free, nope.

Maybe Jill sold the bikes in her farewell WV yard sale. That's how she got rid of the family cat.

Future wedding decorations.

She outdid herself this year.  Not only is it extra-tacky, but it’s also nonsensical.  She’s displaying holidays way more than seasons.  I can’t believe people actually pay to attend that shit show.

And for some cheap candy in a goodie bag.

I agree that the decorations are more holiday themed than season themed. I thought she had used the "Seasons" theme for the retreat last year???? Maybe not. Maybe they just all refer to "seasons of life" so much that I have it confused.

I'm sure she spent the money from the ticket sales on all that crap if she didn't have it already. This was she gets new crap and the guests get loose jelly beans.

What year did Jill make her sister Amy--the QUADRIPLEGIC--the theme of the retreat? I remember that Jill wrote a book about Amy, and Chunk printed it. The "book" was stapled, and everyone who attended got a copy in all its rambling, error-riddled glory.  

Jill is the glorious queen of tacky.

Love the sign for this year's retreat with the lopsided, mismatched letters and numbers. Isn't Hunk a professional printer? Why did the main sign for Jill's life-changing event become a little kids' dining room table project? 

I hope no one scrimped and saved grocery money to attend this retreat, expecting it to be professional in any way. 

If the Holy Spirit does show up, he/she/it/they will probably take off quickly for a dip in the hotel pool.

That was 2017, with this lovely announcement written by Jill:

 

”We are happy to announce that Jill Rodrigues (ministry wife and mother to 12), Amy Foster (quadriplegic and wife and mother to 6) and Angie Hillegass (wife and mother to 7) will be speaking at a ladies’ retreat(coordinated by Jill Rodrigues) on October 20th – 21stof this year! ”

Well isn’t it nice to be known as a quadriplegic only (said sarcastically). Nothing else about Amy is important according to Jill.


Jill is such a mean/nasty witch. Wouldn’t it be nice if all she is known by is her SEVERELY injured knee and selling poison and starving her PRECIOUS children ?
