Can someone post Jill's latest Bible verse so we can all have a good laugh at the irony. It's a doozy. 😁

Sudden? It’s been there all along.

If it’s “directly from God via the Holy Spirit,” no education is required. From God’s lips to the pastor to the congregation’s ears, do not attend seminary or your faith and your direct line to God’s commands will be destroyed. Inspiration directly from God is considered far superior to anything. 

Yup, that's the philosophy behind prophet Warren Jeffs still leading his flock while serving a life sentence in prison.

It was from this, and she had it in her stories and each word, weed, seed, feed,  had it’s own slide, or whatever you call it.

like that time a lady from church needed a ride to have surgery and Jill didn't want to drive her because the woman was not an important person in the church or wasn't person of high standing. yep jill you sure understand that charity is the greatest over love and hope.

I remember her bitching and moaning when the lady called from the hospital in need of a ride home. Didn't the lady post that Jill didn't even leave her water on her nightstand? I remember seeing that somewhere.

Jill just wanted to make sure that the woman never again called her for a favor.

I’m impressed with the correct use of “fewer” vs “less.” It seems like 75+% of people get it wrong these days.

That is one of my pet peeves, along with people who say "amount" instead of "number."  If you can count it, you say number!

It's a "school." Its legitimacy is questionable at best.

So, is this before or after one shells out the money for the products? Is this even accurate, I wonder.

Jillcatraz does NOT have 1 redeeming quality in my opinion. She is a truly vile woman. She is ugly on the inside. 
 

Her litter of kids doesn’t stand a chance. They all will be mini Jillcatraz.

Hmmm... if Hannah is the infant, then the baby with her diaper immodestly showing must be Tessie of the recently plucked eyebrows, being held by Nurie. Based on size, I think Renee is in the gray and Kaylee is holding Hannah, though I agree that both are unrecognizable. Timothy is holding Gabriel (who looks a bit big to need to sit in a lap), and them I'm guessing Samuel and Phillip based solely on hair color. Nurie looks a lot like Hannah looks now.

Yes! Unfortunately, some of the smartest, most educated people I know have recently made the “fewer” vs “less” error. I also hear it from newscasters and others in the media. 😢 For Jill of all people to post a picture with the correct usage is confusing!

Most likely before product purchase. It’s been speculated before that once JillR gets done buying her personal Plexus she barely makes anything.

Maybe she meant "to receive charity," as in all the grifts she gets.

Babies are so adorable at 6 months, full of smiles, sitting up but not yet on the move.  Possibly by the next time Jilldo sees him he will be squirming his way out of her clutches and raising holy hell if he can't!

They’ll be blanket training him by that time. 😥

Not! Nurie will likely already be knocked up too and Jill will likely need something stronger than Plexus to keep her baby envy at bay.

From how I understand it what you buy for yourself counts towards your sales because the company doesn't care who orders it, only cares about the actual sale.

And that is why  MLMs are failures, unless you get in on the top. Too many people buy from themselves and end up earning very little. 

[madpsych78]

See this is why we go out into the world and educate ourselves. So that we know what we're doing when we are posting about "weed" on 4/20. 

It reminds me of the Brady Bunch Movie when they are talking about how they "want to be gay every day." (Not that being gay every day is a bad thing, but just that they were too naive and sheltered and decade-impaired to understand what they were communicating.) Or when Josh talks about Anna's being a "master swallower" (although in his case, he might have been more aware).

Oh I think he 100% knew what he was saying and was doing it intentionally to embarrass her. I am less sure if she got it.

Not to be TMI, but are we sure Anna swallowed? She may have directed that shit into a turkey baster so it wouldn't go to waste. 😁😬

For those of you who haven't suffered enough today, JillR has a clip of her 4 boys singing on Facebook.   Tim seemed particularly awful, completely off key.

That was awful. Thank goodness for the brevity.

I am confused since jill is all about traditional hymns and all, why are the boys singing Can He, Could He, Would He that has a copyright dated 1986?  I think that is what they were singing so horribly.

my other observation/question is when did Phillip's hair get so dark?

I'm pretty sure the last time she mentioned it, it was Senior Gold. Someone correct me if that's changed. 

I think you can also go down a level if you haven't maitained your requirements. I swear I remember her going form Gold to Sr. Gold, back to Gold, then back to Sr. (or change those levels to Sr. Silver and regular Gold, you get the point). But I could be mis-remembering.

I bet the IRS would be very interested in that information if she hasn’t been declaring her Plexus income. Her SNAP benefits would also likely be reduced .

I’m guessing Plexus sends her a 1099 with her earnings but she claims enough expenses to offset most of it. Plus you know the print shop operates at a loss. Grifters usually know how to grift the IRS too.

To follow up on a previous post, Chad and Erin finished their little tiny camper. Chad did a great job. The camper is for them - the three middle girls will share a twin bed (the dinette), parents on the other end with the baby on a full sized bed and the oldest, a son, on a little mattress under the parents' bed. 

From personal experience camping, I see it working perfectly on a sunny day, by a grassy field, along a lake. I see a disaster at a dirt campsite on a rainy weekend. I'm guessing most their experiences will fall somewhere in between.

Holy wow. Alyssa Bates is pissed at IG. Supposedly they "flagged" her account because she called her then 8 month old crazy. I guess flagged accounts are "pushed back" and don't get a lot of views (which I'm guessing means less clicks on shilled products). So because Alyssa "puts a lot of time and effort" into her posts, she feels its "no longer worth it". So she's only going to post "when she feels like it" (as opposed to when? lol).

Seems like Alyssa got her little feelings hurt.

My question is, do followers only see posts that come up on their feed, like FB? And wouldn't followers look for her if she's not coming up? And... other than a decrease in 'sales' how would she know no one is seeing her posts?

And two more questions, could her whiny IG story encourage followers to reach out to IG in her defense? And would it matter?
