Marigold March 15, 2017 Share March 15, 2017 I think someone answered this question already...there are SO MANY men doing the baptism so they ALL get credit for baptizing someone. Really, one person is adequate in a baptismal for a submersion baptism. Out in the open water, two is adequate. If the water is so rough, that you need ten men, maybe you need to rethink the safety of the baptism. This crowd of missionaries is simply so they can get bragging rights. It's obnoxious.

Dillards have opportunities here to actually help ( hey why the fuck not pack a million suitcases full of medical supplies and food? I mean, they had no problem stuffing suitcases full of hobby lobby shit to Laredo) and bring them down and then leave.

bigskygirl March 23, 2017 Share March 23, 2017 The natives probably speak better English than all the Duggars put together. Instead of trying to turning the girl to Jesus in order to save her, they should have tried to get her the best medical care or get better medical supplies or a medical team who may have been able to help her with her seizure disorder.

Did Jill just horn into another woman's "ministry" and make it all about her? 10 years ago, when I was attending church, a missionary family from our area was in Africa, where we had a college to train locals to be preachers to their own people. We raised money to buy treadle sewing machines so the new pastor's wives could help support their family. Missionaries from this church, in other countries, run free clinics and after school programs. They help stop sex trafficking and support/educate women so they aren't victimized. Long-term missionaries are expected to be reasonably fluent in the local language and to show respect for the culture and country.

ginger90 March 23, 2017 Share March 23, 2017 "We learned that one of the young girls from this village who has been coming to the weekly skills training (painting and learning to make piñatas have been their most recent skills), died a few weeks ago. She was only in her early teens, but had lived a hard life. Her mom is in prison and the girl had a very hard time with this. She started having seizures and during one of these recent episodes she fell and hit her head on a rock and died. Most people say she died of a broken heart. It was a sad moment for the village. Praise the Lord though, that as a result of the ongoing work in this village, this girl had prayed to receive Jesus into her heart at the end of 2016. Because the girl didn’t get to finish her piñata she was working on when she passed, the other children are planning to finish it together in honor of their friend. Please be praying for the lady who helps teach the skills training and the children, who lost their friend." I'm at a loss for words. 17 Link to comment
bigskygirl March 23, 2017 Share March 23, 2017 I guess the poor girl could not get the evilness out of her because according to the Duggar clan it can bring on many problems if the person does not turn to Jesus the right way. If she would have turn to Jesus the Duggar way, she probably would be alive today, and the evil seizures would have went away with praying and reading the bible. I do not mean to offend anyone who does deal with seizures and/or has family members who has a seizure disorder. I have family members with seizure disorders, but the way Derick and Jill speak about the poor girl makes me see red. Makes me want to slap the crap out of both of them. Talk about a couple of self-righteous, obnoxious, know it all, hypocritical types. All I can say is send out the search party for the both of them because they are so far from reality they need some major help to get back to the real world. Link to comment

And, yes, if it wasn't part of their mission back in 2016 to help that unfortunate young woman to get appropriate medical care including anti-seizure medications; then they've got no right to brag about how she found their version of Jesus before she died unnecessarily.

How disappointing, because it was in a "dangerous village" and the Dillards must have risked their lives just being there. But, nevermind. The Big White Toddler found three brown kids to play with and the Dillards shared a Bible story and snacks with them. A local girl dropped dead from a seizure, which was really sad because she didn't finish the piñata she was making. But, that wasn't too bad because the girl was already converted and the village children will finish the piñata. (Yes, she really said all of that.) Jill then quizzed three little girls on the Jesus lesson she gave on her last visit. None could answer the questions correctly. So, Jill left them with a religious tract and threated to come back and quiz them next time. Maybe Jill needs to learn to be a better teacher; maybe she could take a course or something. Or, maybe Jill should stop pestering children and pick on someone her own size. Derick tags along with a local paster visiting his flock. Derick sees the paster's success. The abililty to speak Spanish is probably a factor. "Sometimes we get to help deliver food to families in the area." Then, Jill confessed that they were actually handing out "treats." They didn't find the family they were looking for at the family's home, but later saw them at the local grocery store. (I guess they already got the food they needed.) Derick likes to play basketball with locals who speak a little English. Derick was driving when people started yelling at him to pull over. The locals took an older woman out of the truck and called the local medical director to come check her out. Turns out, she just needed an inhaler. Jill and Derick proved to be utterly useless, but would like you to be impressed: "Hopefully, sharing these stories gives you a glimpse into our ministry and lives here serving Christ." The locals feel sorry for the Dillard White Family and, at the almost nightly services at the local paster's church, bring them food: jocotes, avocados, mangos, bananas etc. (No doubt, the locals have noticed that Derick is severly underweight.)

Popular Post ChocolateAddict March 23, 2017 Popular Post Share March 23, 2017 (edited) As someone with a seizure disorder, f*ck Jill for using this poor dead girl as part of her pitch for donations. This girl who (judging by that post) was only about 14, had a mother in prison and had no medication for a serious medical condition. But hey, the Dillards give her a paintbrush once a week! Sure they could have provided her with medical and psychological support but a couple of Bible verses pretty much does the same thing. When Josie has a seizure it is all sirens blazing to the hospital (as is appropriate) but when a child actually dies it is more of a case of bad luck. It was a sad moment but "praise God" that she had been missionaried before she died. The silver lining of a teenager dying of an easily managed condition. Sure her death was preventable but isn't it nice that the Dillards are there to do some interpretive dance? The idea of having a seizure disorder in a developing country, no medication and no parents petrifies me. This child needed proper help and support during her "hard life" but the Dillards floated in, handed out a couple of crayons and posted pictures to Instagram. Let the girl rest in peace rather than use her memory to scam money out of leg humpers, it is incredibly disrespectful. Edited March 23, 2017 by ChocolateAddict 53 Link to comment

Popular Post JoanArc March 24, 2017 Popular Post Share March 24, 2017 (edited) After a long, hard day at work, I would like to sit down in my scrubs, light up a cigarette*, and blow a steady stream of smoke into Jill's dizty, smug face, give her an unbroken eye contact death glare, until she coughs and just.stops.talking. Quote And what the heck is Jill doing checking vitals? Desperately trying to look relevant to the locals, and secretly to herself. It's not as if Jill knows how to keep an airway patent, or stay calm in an emergency. That woman that died from a probably-preventable seizure will bother me a lot more than Jill, who had numerous opportunities to help her. Oh well, she 'converted'. Another notch on Jilly's soul belt. I'm sure the woman will thank her in heaven...right? Lots of food talk in this post. Does Jill realize these people are POOR and might not have much food lying about? Of course people will come to church if you give them Banana bread, or serve refreshments after a Derick sermon. It's free and all you have to do is nod and smile at gringos for an hour.
