Jill, Derick & the Kids: Moving On!!

[GeeGolly]

Can you imagine being invited over for a live stream church service and finding out four adults will be watching the same little laptop screen?

And are the kids watching the dresser? lol

You can see the corner of a laptop on the table.

Still not grasping WHY they need to livestream church. Idiots.

[BigBingerBro]

I seriously am wondering how long those kids sat there in those chairs watching whatever they are watching.

My Church lifestreams service to keep the amount of people in the building low for safety. What's wrong with doing that? I am not mad just don't understand what's wrong with it.

So does mine.   Of course, considering their lack of interest in social distancing, it's not clear why the Dillards wouldn't just attend regular services rather than watching online.

I like Jill's dress in the restaurant photos.

It's the contradiction of livestreaming from home to social distance and then inviting people over. 

It would probably still be safer than going to church if Jill and Derick hadn't just gone out to eat indoors.

I was referring to having random people coming over to the house, along with no masks etc. The point of social distancing is to, well, be distant. It’s definitely safer Then being exposed a huge congregation, but having three people over to the house could just as easily spread the virus.

I understand the visit and I don’t think they are being especially risky. My friends and I that WFH are meeting at each other’s homes in groups of two or three once a week to get some human interaction (I went to my bff’s house for July 4th and we hung out for a few hours in the front yard). 
 

Looks like that’s a couple who brought their child over (so one additional household). For me the emotional value of seeing my friends is much more worth the risk than going to the grocery store (so I’m back to delivery only)- I get why they invited this family over. Of course I respect whatever rules someone has set in their own house, but I consider myself someone who takes precautions seriously, is committed to social distancing and diligently followed all the stay at home orders- yet I don’t have an issue with going to a close friend’s house for a meal in a typical fashion. 
 

I admit my perspective might be different because I’m single, childfree and WFH for the foreseaable future.  During the stay at home order the only being I saw that could talk back to me was my Mom.

I agree, what you're doing feels more conscientious than what Jill is doing. But everyone has to mindful of each person they see and of each person they're visiting sees. Jill has seen Jana, Jessa, Laura and Anna. Who have Jessa, Laura and Anna been in contact with? And then when you factor in Derick doing food deliveries, the contacts grow even larger. So while Jill's friends may think they're just risking being around Jill, Derick and the boys, they're really risking being around them and whoever else they've been in contact with in the last two weeks.

Still less risky than sitting in a crowded church though.

The whole thing reminds me of teaching my kids about safe sex. Reminding them they won't always know where those penises and vaginas have been. I would ask them if they would pick up a piece of chewed gum and chew it. They're like no gross, we don't know where its been or what other germs it has from being on the ground. I'm like, okay good, think of all vaginas and penises as ABC gum, and think of safety before you entertain getting your boink on.

I have to say, those pics of Jill on "date night" are the best I've seen her in quite a while, maybe ever.  She looks relaxed and the dress/top she got from Famy fits and looks really pretty with her coloring.  Her hair is combed/styled and her makeup subtle.

I noticed the dress right away.  It is really pretty.  Something I would consider buying.  And it does flatter her figure.

[dariafan]

I kinda wish Derek would write a tell some book.   I just wanna know what Jim boob and mechelle told the kids about getting paid for the show   Like was he semi honest and told them they got paid , but as headship he was in charge of it.  Or say nothing about pay

I want to know those things, too, but with Derick's history of changing his story, I'm not convinced that anything he writes would actually be true. 

[BitterApple]

As much as I loathe Boob, I don't entirely agree with Derick's assertion that they weren't compensated. They lived in two rent-free McMansions for several years, received trips and dinners courtesy of TLC and Boob bought all their furniture as a wedding gift. Maybe Derick feels they didn't get as much as they should, but with so many adults to divvy the pie between, they were never going to see big money from the show in the first place. Derick also conveniently forgets he was booted from TLC after making bigoted comments. If he's bitter over the fallout he has no one to blame but himself.

Yeah bingo! I have no trouble at all believing that Jim Bob is a greedy asshole. But any accusations Derick makes are always going to be tainted by the fact that he is not the wholly innocent party he tries to make himself out to be.

I agree, he is a liar, too.  I really don't trust anyone in this crowd to present their story truthfully.  Anything Derick writes would have to be taken with a huge grain of salt because he has been shown time and again to have a rather loose relationship with the truth.

Exactly. I hate that Jill still gets labeled as the “snitch”.  Josh was one smugly pronounced her so, and now we all know why.

Wasn't there a 19K&C clip of Josh referring to Jill as the snitch? It takes on a whole new meaning considering that that episode presumably aired before all of his issues hit the fan.

I think so. My impression has always been the label was first assigned by Josh. 

[GeeGolly]

I thought Jill being labeled a snitch came out in a TH segment about accountability partners. When different siblings answered who was most likely to tell on rule breakers, most answered Jill and a couple answered Jana.

Yep. Jana and JD were right beside Josh calling Jill a snitch from years before the abuse. Jana tired framing it nicely by saying something like, "I wouldn't call her a tattle tale, it's more like she wanted to...hold us accountable."

Jill was truly obnoxious for most of her life and this apparent change in outlook is very recent.

Me: Aawww look at the cute little—NOOOO COVID still exists!! No sharing food! Pandemic!

I surely hope she doesn't have to say "so cute, matching ventilators".   Oy these people have no sense.

Well I stand corrected- I have no problem admitting when I’m wrong. 
 

And here I thought these were close friends from church they were sharing some meals with just so they wouldn’t have to just look at each other for more months on end.......

I think we all thought that because we come from a place of sensibility. Jill outed the connection all on her own.

I'm in Illinois and I hope we are done too. We have been doing well, despite people screaming that our governor "sucks'. That guy kept us in good shape with all of this. 

I don't think it was wise to have the littles sharing food.

No I don’t think that’s was wise. Generally I’m against little kids sharing food like that because small children aren’t the most hygienic and they catch colds and things so easily. 
 

But this is Jill. She came from a family where children were expected to share EVERYTHING. Constantly. Even in pandemic times the idea of a child not sharing wouldn’t occur to her. 
 

For the record I’m not criticizing Israel for wanting to share with his guest. Shows he has a sweet & generous spirit.

So much stupidity. And people still think it's a hoax?

As much as most people dislike Amy I'm glad Jill has someone in her life that she grew up with. 

[3 is enough]

Wow, that post of Amy's... kind of cryptic, but I take it as acknowledgement that Jill has broken away from Jim Bob to  a certain degree.  

Nevada here.  We were doing really well until the casinos reopened.  We're kind of between a rock and a hard place- the resorts employ so many people that they could not stay closed forever, but the people who are coming tend to be the no mask crowd.  Now we have a statewide mask mandate so hopefully the numbers will go down.  Personally I have no ties to the Strip and I will stay home.  But not everyone has that luxury.

Amy seems to have grown up a lot the past few years and I'm glad she is obviously supportive of Jill as she transitions away from her toxic family.

Yeah- nothing has lead me to believe that Amy doesn’t really love Jill and vice versa. I’m glad Jill has her.

So do we think "buggy" is an amusing typo, or her actual pet name for James?

Either way, glad she got to see her oldest "son," even if Jana did have to chaperone. I wish we had evidence that she gets to see Jenni (without the entire mob of sisters), too.

It’s a pet name for James. Joy commented the same thing under Michelle’s post.

There's a pandemic? The restaurant may not allow big groups to sit together. 

Personally, I have no desire to go in a restaurant at the moment. That's too scary and I feel bad for the servers.
