"short term team" of missionaries = spring breakers from bible belt 

I include Derick and Jill as part of the "short term team" of missionaries.

By the way, what happened to Derick in that Instagram photo where he is reading a pamphlet with another American tourist?  First, he lost the flesh on his arms.  Now, he has no chest.  No chest at all.  He seems to be disintegrating.

 

 

 

[Petrichor]

Derick looks like he should be in hospice care. What the hell is wrong with him? If I had to guess, I'd bet on some kind of intransigent intestinal parasite. He's gone full-on Mosquito Coast.

[GeeGolly]

Shouldn't he be out with a sickle making his way to the thatched roof huts that kind folks let 'the poor people' live in?

[awaken]

Thank the gods Derick's hair is cut!  The skeletal hippie look was creeping me out. 

Love it!!!  @Churchhoney you must gift Bin with Spurgeon bobblehead and flask!!  So awesome.

I don't think that's a child.  Zoom in...to me, it looks like an old (er) woman.  She has breasts!!!  And isn't that Pastor Mike behind them?  And why is Dreck carrying her?  Isn't touching the leg and waist reserved for righteously fulfilling hey hey hey, and not baptism in the ocean?

So many questions!!!!

I think it's the mother of the boy they baptized. She was mentioned in one of the paragraphs.  Sorry, too lazy to go back & check.

He uses  the sickle to make his way on the path to the Walmart.

I'd be so bothered if I was spending my precious free time off work relaxing in the park and some sickly white man came up to me and started preaching to me in I language I didn't understand. 

[awaken]

FYI, Lawson bates is delivering shoes and water filters to those in Haiti. He may be beating D-wreck in the good works and serving people category. 

[BitterApple]

I find Lawson smug and self-serving, but at least shoes and water filters are something poor people desperately need. It beats Dreck and his Dum Dum lollipops.

yes, so far not a mention of dumdums, nail polish, or interpretive dance for the Haitians! Only actual needed items.

I suppose Nathan went with. Who else would have taken the sweet, precious picture of him with a poor little brown child? 

I can be a little sarcastic here because I've seen the Bates kids working in the Philippines, doing real stuff like handing out medical supplies/assisting in administering SHOTS in a real (albeit likely IBLP) clinic.

I didn't know about the shots, Sew.  Very interesting.  So far afield from the Duggar/Dills, et al.  It astounds me how little they do, and justify their lack of effort in improving lives, by using the bible.  Shocking.

No, I lived in an apartment on Main Ave for a couple of years before I bought a house out in Neptune Township proper.  My buddy used to be the guy who put all of the tents up and took them down though.

You're good...the Duggars would never get that close to Asbury Park. Josiah might wander into a tea dance. ;)

Oh, that would be fantastic!  Josiah at Paradise.  That would be a VSE worth watching.

I dunno, dude's always been slim.  Could just be the angle.  I actually think he looks better in this picture than he has some others.  But then again, he's not looking at the camera and has sunglasses on.

[Marigold]

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. Is it a spiritual event or a show off?

Everything the Duggars and their ilk do is about showing off how much better, more godly, more modest, etc. they are than the rest of us poor heathens. If you can't show it off, I'm sure they don't do it.

Ugh.  The leghumpers are sure out in full force, aren't they?  The Dillys are working to evangelize a group of people who are already Christian!  How is this hard work?  They are LITERALLY preaching to the choir.  But I guess if they aren't the "right" type of Christian they have to be shown the err of their ways.  

Smh.

Oh, don't worry.  The Dillards don't speak Spanish, so the locals don't understand what they are saying anyway.

Oh my God. Is it possible to be this stupid and oblivious? That poor teenage girl who seized and died after hitting her head on a rock? Meh, minor tragedy. "Praise the Lord, she accepted Jesus into her heart in 2016" otherwise she might be burning in hell right now. I guess it never occurred to the Dullards to use some of their funds to get her to a doctor, especially considering they knew her history. But they did have plenty of time to celebrate Derick's birthday. Dead children and red velvet cake! Another successful mission on the books!

[yogi2014L]

I hate them the most, truly.

" I know these girls have heard the gospel before, but when I asked them specific questions about what it meant, they couldn’t answer."....umm maybe because they DONT SPEAK ENGLISH? And you don't speak spanish???? Fuck Jill barely speaks english as it is. 

I just can't. 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. 

The icing on the cake is that they don't even realize that their moronic blog posts actually just highlight how useless and stupid their whole mission is. 

[bigskygirl]

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. Do they really think they are actually helping people. Get a grip, get a life, get a brain Derick and Jill.

[Nysha]

Skills = making pinatas? I don't get it, is that a way for the girls to make money and they honestly don't know how? 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. 

Edited March 23, 2017 by Nysha
I know that Africa is a large continent with many countries, I just can't remember what country they were in.

[sheshark]

I (Sheshark) really cannot stand Jill.   Excuse me, Dr. Jill, Medicine Woman, saving lives among the heathen Catholics.  Apparently, they have taught ISHZreal to grift as well.  "Israel and I (Jill) have enjoyed fellowshipping with the local believers at the almost nightly church services. Israel easily makes lots of friends and since we live in a tropical area, they are so sweet to share their fresh produce with us (jocotes, avocados, mangos, bananas etc.).  Israel loves it and so do we!"  Jill, buy your own fricking food with the thousands you have begged for.

[SMama]

"I used my medical things to check her vitals." Yes dumbass the woman had an asthma attack. Your sophisticated training was a lifesaver.

[ginger90]

"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.

[bigskygirl]

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.

I've never seen piñatas in El Salvador, I don't think they are culturally relevant there, nor would there be much market for them. I think this is an appropriation of Mexican culture by dumbass** who think that one Spanish speaking Central American country is the same as the next.

I do agree that pupusas are delicious.

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.

It's so sad that they don't at least steer people who are ill toward medical care. 

"The lady" - how disrespectful. How about Senora L or something? 

So basically Jill and Izzy go door-to-door trading bread for fruit, and Derick plays a few pick-up basketball games, preaches now & again and does impromptu Bible studies when their "speakers" and "anticipated crowds" don't show up. 

I'm thinking of sending $1000.00 to them. Bless their hearts.

[SMama]

Ditzy Jilly would be so lucky to have reached an eight grade writing level. Word salad is all those two can produce. That and giant white babies to neglect. Makes sense given their apparent mental health status. 

[Mollie]

So, the 'missionaries' planned a conference, anticipated a crowd, and nobody showed up, not even the two speakers they booked.  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.) On the way home, the Dillards buy their favorite food at a local restaurant and sneak it home to eat. (Just more proof that they don't live in the wilds.)

But, DONATE!

Couple of things stood out to me.  Using lady rather than woman bugged.  And what the heck is Jill doing checking vitals?  If I applied normal standards to her writing I am sure there would be more to bug me but apparently I am feeling generous.

Worst missionaries ever!!! The life skill is making a damn pinata?! WTF....oh and poor girl falls during a seizure, hits her head and dies from a traumatic brain injury. But wait!!!! Don't be sad....she loved Jesus. Turn that frown upside down. Oh and Izzy makes banana bread? Shut up Jill...no he doesn't, he's a damn toddler. Take your tracks and shove them up your lazy asses.

[ChocolateAddict]

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.

I would too, except I have a feeling that the rest of the Duggar clan would be just as stupid if they went to another country to live. I don't see any evidence that these are the ugliest Americans in the bunch. They're just the ones who've chosen a life that makes it obvious. Duggar idiocy seems pretty much all at the same level to me, based on what we've observed.

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.

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. FFS she grew up hiding food and eating in the bathroom. Did she forget poverty so quickly? (yes)
