Dill says it'll be next summer before they can come back to the States. They'll be back after Jessa's baby is born.

JoanArc October 19, 2015 Share October 19, 2015 "We meant we couldn't come back until it was summer in Australia." "It will be next summer before we are able to make a short visit back to the States again." That says nothing about a long visit before the short visit, though. I doubt there's enough money to last nearly a year, unless Jill's opened her TLC piggybank. 5 Link to comment

yogi2014L October 19, 2015 Share October 19, 2015 What assholes for posting a picture of a child who is most likely confused and distressed by all of Jill's comings and goings. Creeps. Seriously. JIlls cheesy ass grin while Jenny is pretty much hiding and looking very upset makes me have no hope for any Dillard spawn. Why would you even post that. Jenny looks miserable. What makes them think " oh this is a great pic!!!" Jill did not fall very far away from the delusional tree of Michelle/Boob. UGH. Makes me sick!!! 2 Link to comment

We never got an accounting of who pays for what, how much money there is, who got refunds, etc. How's Derick's mommy helping the mission? Jill loves bringing a nanny with her on all of these trips. 4 Link to comment
sometimesy October 19, 2015 Share October 19, 2015 The 'commission prayer', the potluck event, the youtube thingy (when they first left), a big group at the airport, yet they've been back more than gone. Why the tears? Either the family will find their way 'overseas' or Jill and Derrick will slip into the states again. Still haven't been clear to donors what they are doing while double dipping with donations and tlc payment. Of course, Derick did mention that everything he does is for Jesus (he is so much holier than normal peeps), so therefore qualifies for your hard earned cash. How long was this 'month' they were home? 3 Link to comment
Mollie October 19, 2015 Share October 19, 2015 Thanks for the link! I voiced my opinion. I can't wait to see Jill and Jessa back on the air!! Woo Hoo!!! The Facebook page for the TLC special now has 65,000 likes!!!!! 1 Link to comment
Mollie October 19, 2015 Share October 19, 2015 What about visa issues? Are they able to obtain a visa for the "work" they are doing? Because otherwise, wouldn't each stay be capped at 3 consecutive months? They are going to Guatemala. Guatemala shares a border with Mexico. It is my understanding that all they have to do is go to Mexico for 24 hours, then they can return to Guatemala on another 90 day tourist visa. (Honduras and El Salvador don't count, because the Guatemala visa covers traveling in all three countries.) 4 Link to comment
Mollie October 19, 2015 Share October 19, 2015 The mystery girl is Tabitha Paine, older sister of Erin Bates' husband Chad Paine. She's Jana's friend and occasionally, we speculate that she and JD could be an item since she's around the Duggars all the damn time. LOL! I don't think that looks like Tabitha.

Albanyguy October 19, 2015 Share October 19, 2015 Their Jessa article said it would be the first time she's been back on television since they lost the show. Even though it's splitting hairs, that may be true. Her last appearance was the Fox News interview and that aired before TLC announced that it was officially cancelling 19K&C. So even though the show had been pulled off the air, they hadn't technically "lost" it. Wow, Jill looks as demented and bug-eyed as her mother in that picture. She's on her way to becoming Michelle 2.0. And Jessa better lay off the black eyeliner, she's starting to look like a raccoon. 2 Link to comment

And one of those fans is an adult woman? I don't know why or how she came into the picture, but she lives near the family. It could be that Michelle simply couldn't write a blog, so she asked someone else to do it. (Speculation.) Anyway, some of the posts that are quickly removed (like Jessa asking for baby presents and giving the mailing address) may have been written by her and not the family. When the show was canceled, they thanked her for the work she did on the blog over the years. Wish that were the end of the story, but it, as we know, continues 'Counting On.' Link to comment
Defrauder October 20, 2015 Share October 20, 2015 Does Derick speak Spanish or not? On the one hand he claims he needs Spanish lessons and his funders to pay for them and on his LinkedIn profile he lists himself as Spanish Speaking. The Dillards now claim that they are off on their 'mission' to immerse themselves in Spanish language and meet up with old friends and they aren't coming back to the US 'until this summer'. We'll see. 3 Link to comment

I took it in middle school and still know a few words and phrases, but actual French people would laugh in my face if I attempted to converse with them.

Defrauder October 20, 2015 Share October 20, 2015 Jill is with child. That's all. I think you're right. I purposed to watch the special preview and at the end for a brief second they showed Jill sitting on the couch with Derick and Jessa and Ben and there is no way Jill is not pregnant. So, looks to me like their planned trip back to the US 'this summer' will probably be for the Dillard Delivery. Also thought Jill's fake tears (again) were just about the terrible media revealing the truth. The media the Duggars have used to house and feed them all for the last 10 years, you know that terrible media. The media they are still using to this very day to feed their fame hunger and pay their way. 10 Link to comment
JoanArc October 20, 2015 Share October 20, 2015 Jill is with child. That's all. Her 'high risk' pregnancy 'forces' her and Derick to come back to the US 'unexpectedly early', the day before their tourist visa is up. She has to stay home for care but hey look...the Counting On cameras... 13 Link to comment

Considering that Jill and Derick's living expenses in Arkansas, unlike their living expenses in El Salvador/Guatemala, probably can't be paid with their "mission" funds, in my opinion the longer they stayed in Tontitown the better.

Would her limits in her native tongue make it harder for her to learn Spanish, or would learning a second language actually improve her English? I also wonder how well the Duggars' fundie Gothard speak translates into Spanish. The Duggars speak in Christianese. They don't converse like a "normal" family. For example, a mature, rational woman would say: I'm menopausal so no more babies for me! But Michelle would say: The Lord has blessed me with precious blessings but I'm in a new season of life now. Nonsensical, flowery language that only a fellow Gothardite would understand. 11 Link to comment
Fuzzysox October 21, 2015 Share October 21, 2015 (edited) The whole we are going to do mission trips is a huge farce. Derick has no intention of keeping a real job. Jill is needy and wants him home 24/7 so it works for them. I've never heard Derick speak Spanish. At least Jill has more of a head start since she studied with Margie's mom. I don't know how quickly Derick can pick up another language? Edited October 21, 2015 by Fuzzysox 4 Link to comment

auntieminem October 21, 2015 Share October 21, 2015 The article was not really definitive about Jill's role in the delivery. It was just a bad article. As for who'll deliver the newest family member, the source says the Duggars are "really into midwifery," and Jessa's own sister Jill, who recently became a certified midwife, could possibly have the exciting task. 2 Link to comment

I trust nothing this couple says or does, including the fact they actually left the country. They may be "visiting" elsewhere on the sly. 6 Link to comment
birkenstock October 21, 2015 Share October 21, 2015 (edited) I think it's the Duggars' way of sparking interest. They perpetuate these false rumors, like whether Jessa is going to have twins or a singleton. The Duggars knew it was one baby and Jessa always used the singular, but they left twins in as an option in their baby poll. The People article makes it look like it doesn't have good sources and the Duggars/Dillards/Seewalds/TLC are teasing the public. If Jill does deliver that baby then we'll know someone lied - either the baby arrived early or the Dillards lied about their mission work.
