Jill, Derick & the Kids: Moving On!!

[Zahdii]

Here's a slightly shorter version, and in more heathen-speak, although I've added a few comments of my own.

Quote

 

Thanks, Jill, for mentioning that although the locals have been gone a couple of hours, your house still smells of the "sweaty kids and stinky feet".  But it's all good because you were able to have a good time anyway with games and refreshments.

Bless you for making some people feel better about the loss of their grandmother, the murder of a cousin, and the stroke of the murdered woman's daughter!  The gift of an "American dinner" will surely reduce their fear of being kidnapped or killed.  I assume you took them the food because they are too afraid to leave their home?  Would you share with us what this meal was?  Hamburgers?  Americanized pizza?  Tatertot casserole or chickenetti? 

Just in the last week, Jill and another woman from church twice hosted a woman in Jill's house and blessed her with dinner, prayer, and gifts from the States.  The woman's husband had left her with two children, one with special needs.  This was probably helpful, considering the woman came back again after the first visit, even if it was to get some companionship and a meal for her kids, and maybe the gifts were helpful or something she could sell for more food.  I look forward to hearing that Jill and the other woman (who shall remain nameless and probably acted as interpreter) help in other ways.  Perhaps the newly single mother needs help moving closer to her family, or needs a job, skills to find a job, help paying bills, etc.  But in the meantime, Jill will continue to "look forward to continuing to reach out to her and let our little ones play together."

Derick is still preaching once a week, and Jill has played "special music for several of those church services.  A sweet girl on the last short-term missions team gifted me with a violin where she left. She said she bought a cheap one to bring on the trip and wanted to leave it with me once she found out I played violin and wasn't able to bring mine down here."

Please pray for:

* "Continued financial support as we still need to raise additional support for the rest of our time here on the field as well as the time we will be home surrounding the birth of our second little boy due in early July. Thank you to those of you who are supporting us already! (Donate online: www.dillardfamily.com)." 

* Our health, allergies are a problem. 

* Soften the hearts of the locals so they can blah, blah, blah. 

* Oh, and if you have time, pray for those in difficult times and especially that "young momma" referred to in an earlier post who is still waiting for her brain surgery.

And don't forget to praise Jill and Derick because they are encouraged the new pastor is there and "able to focus more on evangelism and discipleship."  Praise them because they play soccer with local youth and even fed some of them last Sunday.  And praise Velma who has come to church more often, probably because Jill and Derick have visited them and given them homemade baked goods more than once!  Keep praying for her!

 

So far no comments on the blog.  I'd expect a close family such as the Duggars to comment.  Maybe they're on Duggar time and will start posting in a few days.

Quotes from Jill's letter. Not- we had her over to dinner- no, it must be Gothard Speak.

Personally I hate that everyone overuses the word, blessed. Everywhere I turn this the only word people on my coupon boards know how to use. I was blessed with coupons for this sale, etc. Really? I would say you either got the coupons in the paper or some how got them through a service it has nothing to do with blessings.

How about Jill saying as part of our mission we had the opportunity to bring food to someone in need?

They don't allow comments.  Probably because it would take up too much of their time removing the negative ones.

Did you notice the fact that Derick's only responsibility is to preach at the local church for one hour a week?  He must not be very good at that because the pastor of that church just hired an associate pastor who actually speaks Spanish. 

Meanwhile, Derick is taking online "Bible courses", trying to learn how to be a real missionary.  Maybe Derick should have thought about that before saying he is already a missionary and throwing up the DONATE button.

Here's an idea lazy ass..GET A JOB!! You know like my husband and I had while I was pregnant and after I had the baby he went to and made money. You see even with a c- section and with a little one at home, after a week I didn't need him clinging to me. We survived. Go to work.

Oh and Jill, the aroma of your constant bullshit you spew continuously wafts through the air as well.

Excellent point. Even if they were only getting 20 or 30k for a birth episode, that's plenty of money for them to live off of considering they have no bills. Or Derrick could, you know, get a JOB. I'm sure Boob has plenty of connections in the area to help Derrick get a temporary gig. I've never seen such a lazy, spoiled, entitled couple in my entire life. And considering the orphans look cleaner and better groomed than Izzy, Jill might want to watch the kind of shade she throws around. Half the time the Duggars look like they're crawling with fleas.

If that's a hospitality house, then they need to learn how to be hospitable and get some chairs for people to sit on instead of the floor most of the time.  They could at least move the ones from the table.

I'm still appalled at the greed to expect people to support them all the time.  Derick could work when they're in the states if TLC isn't paying them enough.  I agree they need to quit acting like they're real missionaries and trying to get people to simply give, give, give.  Way too much laziness and entitlement.

These two really burn my butter. There are millions of people out there raising families by working hard and not expecting others to hold their hands or give them money in order to prove they are the most righteous group of people on the planet. Derick had a decent job, and he threw away for this crap and expects others to take care of him and his family. GRRR!!! My husband served two years in the Army and around nine years in the National Guard as a Combat Medic while he was slowly dying because his kidneys were shutting down. The only reason why he left the National Guard was because he could not pass the two mile run because he was sick due to his kidneys. He would go to work on his grave yard shift after two of his weekly dialysis treatments were over. He did not let anything or anyone get in his way when it came to his illness. In otherwords, he did not expect others to take care of him, and he always treated the medical team who took and still take wonderful care of him with respect and dignity. Yes, we have gotten some help from others, but we always try to help others because we understand bad things can happen to good people. We are not out there trying to tell others how to live and tell them they will go to hell if they do not agree with our views on certain subjects. I have been around selfless, needy, co-dependent, narcissistic people before, but the Duggars take to an all new different level.

The whole downstairs of their house is a big meeting area with lots of plastic chairs.  They are just too lazy to move a few chairs so their guests will be comfortable.  Yeah, great hospitality there.

These teenage boys were apparently too stinky and sweaty to be invited inside when they came for dinner, so had to eat it outside without tables or chairs.  Notice how all of the boys have empty plates, but not Derick.  Weren't they served enough food? DONATE.

I wonder how Cathy feels about all this. I'm sure she believes in missions since she is a Jesus warrior.  However, I'd be beyond mortified if my adult, educated, able bodied child begged for donations. Quit popping out babies for God's army if you can't fucking afoord them. Disgusting. I hope In Touch and others take this and run with it.  

Unfortunately since there's a pretty long tradition of many missionaries soliciting their own funding, I expect she chooses to view it as just this. Derick's her kid, after all.

If it's the little girl in the photo Jill is referring to (didn't read post on phone), I feel pretty sure 'shared' would be more appropriate. Because if you've got enough money that buying your wee daughter metallic cloth sandals, with how easily that type of fabric gets worn and creased looking or threadbare, is an option; you've got some pride in how your wee one looks and the money to buy her 'frivolous ' sandals.

Here's the thing, though.  El Salvador isn't like the US, there isn't a Walmart on every corner and most people don't have a wide variety of choices available to them when they shop, especially out in the countryside.  Shiny metallic sandals are pretty popular down in El Salvador and I would be willing to bet that they might be the only pair of shoes that kid has. She could very likely spend the majority of her time barefoot. Most little kids down there, in my experience, wear sandals for everything.  It isn't like the US where a kid would have play sandals and dress sandals and sneakers and school shoes.

In El Salvador, kids aren't allowed to attend school if they don't have shoes.  Cheap shoes for school are about 10 bucks a pair, but, in the poorer towns, where some families live on 40 bucks a month; that just isn't in the budget.  I know that the priests in the area where I've been buy about 300 pairs of shoes every school year for kids who otherwise couldn't attend.  Here in the US, its pretty hard to wrap your head around the idea that a school age child wouldn't have any shoes; but it happens a fair amount down there.

There is a big meeting area in the facility in El Salvador.  However, in the Dillard's 'Hospitality House' in Guatemala, the house is built on a hill and there is a walk-out basement.  That is where the meeting room is.  Jill held a womens' gathering there once that was filmed for TLC.

That would be a helpful project for Jill & Derick.  Sadly, I don't think they would want to get involved with Catholics for some common good for people.

That new post from the fake missionaries is disgusting.  This is how it starts: "The aroma of sweaty kids and stinky feet still lingers in the hospitality house."  This is what Jill thinks of the little children she is supposed to be ministering to.  Privileged white American Jill lives with air conditioning (paid for by all of the people who responded to the DONATE button).  Nobody in that community has air conditioning. Of course the kids are sweaty in that very hot and very humid country. And the kids are barefooted, so of course their feet stink (just like Jill's and Jessa's and Izzy's).

But, instead of buying the locals air conditioners and shoes, the Dillards would like you to DONATE more money for their stay in Guatemala and for them to return to Arkansas for the birth of the next baby, because Jill is too good to give birth in the local hospital with the local women.  Not to mention the fact that she'll probably try a homebirth anyway, so what difference should it make if the bed is in Central America or in Arkansas? 

Oh, and Jill and Derick would like you to DONATE for their support while they live in Arkansas, where they will not be missionaries to anyone.  Why should you DONATE for this?  Well, just because the Dillards would like to receive your money.

I'm totally Judgey McJudgerinsky, but THAT is 'real' mission work to me. I know I'd be far more likely to trust a priest/minister/religious leader, and to listen to what they had to say, if they were genuinely helping me with something realistic and practical, not just 'this is the CORRECT version of the Bible' etc.

I can't get mad at pics of the Dillards sitting on the floor giving kids Kool-aid, because that's only a brief snippet of their day. When we were doing mission work in various parts of Mexico, evening Bible story with kool-aid and cookies was pretty standard. We also maintained a health clinic, taught English, funded a soup (well, beans, rice, and fresh veggies where local grandmas fed a ton of kids lunch every day), but we also had evening soccer games and the koolaid and fruitloops or cookies fun time in the evenings. Dullards may have done something useful that day. Probably not, but just maybe.

Cynical me thinks if they had done anything else useful that day besides "blessing" the children with Kool-aid, we would have been "blessed" with pictures of whatever else they did. They may have done other stuff ... but ...

Call me a skeptic, but if they had done anything remotely important, they would have mentioned it in the DONATE, DONATE donor solicitation post, because they were clearly running out of things to brag about.  The caption on the photo with the kids on the floor by their front door: "Children playing in the house with Israel."  That's it.  No Bible study, no activity, no missionary stuff − just playing with Israel.  For fake missionaries, they're not even pretending to be good at it.  

[RazzleberryPie]

You guys are probably right. They most likely aren't doing anything but drinking Koolaid. 

I'd love to know what the local women think of Jill's skin tight pregnancy clothing. 

[GeeGolly]

I just can't with these people and their mission. I'll just snark on a photo for the sake of snarking because they posted the photo. When you're in the public eye it's probably best not to post a photo of your toddler eating fruit with a giant knife front and center in the pic. I get that Jill was probably right there cutting the fruit and got up to snap the pic. But really?

Women don't wear stretchy polyester in humid Guatemala.  They wear cotton.  And they probably think that she is just a crass, rich, American gringo who is there on a missionary vacation, patronizing the locals with candy and banana cake but with no real help for them.  They must really freak out when the TLC crew comes to film the squalor of their lives. 

That crepe paper looks like a going-away party.  They were only there six months last year.  Now, in 2017, they've only been there for two months and have to fly back to Arkansas for a vacation to attend Joy's wedding, have a baby, and do more TLC filming for the big money.  The locals aren't stupid.  They can tell when someone really cares about their needs and offers them real help and those who are just pretending.

Not surprising, though, when you remember that Jill's parents firmly believe -- and have totally convinced their kids -- that just by being on television and having people watch their oh-so-godly lives, they're all fulfilling the mission of converting people to the correct Jesus. As I recall, Meeechelle was praising Jessa at one point for having singlehandedly brought tens of thousands of people to Christ, just by her visible existence.

And, in fact, the SOS mission thing that they Jill and Der "work" with go with a pretty similar view of what missioning/ministering is about: You just exist in people's sight while holding up and yammering about your own correct faith and that constitutes not just help but the most important help anyone can give: You're not just messing around with people's meaningless physical bodies; you're giving them a view of the eternal salvation they can get by -- and only by-- following your example. ......So, yeah, Der and Jill aren't helping the way most of us would see it. But in their tiny minds -- and in the tiny minds of most of their milieu -- they're doing the most important "work" there is. .............Mindboggling, but true, as far as I can tell. 

[Annb67]

I have friends- husband and wife- who are REAL missionaries in Guatemala. As in, they sold their home, took the profits, moved there. You know what they do? They have built a preschool, an area to take care of and love on well babies and sick babies. And provide education- a REAL one, not Bible stories. In the preschool they even have a special needs class. While the wife and other missionaries staff the preschool and nursery while providing NUTRITIOUS meals, not shitty Kool- Aid Jill. Her husband, along with others helps build homes for the people in the village. They come home ONCE a year and take back shoes, clothes and other useful things without begging. People give because they know the good work going on. And then I see these rude dumbasses doing nothing. It infuriates me.

I hate to even bring this up because I harp on the same things all the time, but the place is a dump. Mop the floor! Clean up! Put up some nice decorations -- I imagine that there are flowers and greenery everywhere. Every time they show pictures of some event, it just looks awful. The place looks awful, the people look bored and depressed. Those people must be really hungry to come over and hang out in that miserable place with those two wet blankets -- or maybe it's just the AC.

For the love of God, it's the paper plates again! And the plastic cups! An attractive set of inexpensive plastic dishes cost very little and can be re-used. I would bet that they could buy ceramic dishes super cheap, too. They don't DO ANYTHING, they can spend a half hour washing dishes after the guests leave.

Incredible that missionaries would go somewhere and beg for money so often for themselves. We have to go home and do nothing but spawn and would like to top up our TLC $ account with some tax free donations. Greed, they aren't even pretending it's for the poor people of Danger America.

 It pisses me off that the celebrity Teevee stars are asking the rest of us for donations! Why don't they be an example and donate their TLC salaries towards mission work? ( and if they did do that, which of course they won't, they would make sure we all know about it! )

I expect they think that just watching them is enough. I mean, they can see that they all have hearts for the Lord, so surely the viewers can see it too, right? They spout something semi-religious from time to time. ....And they constantly use all that Gothard language, which I'm sure they think comes straight from the correct Jesus. And they never do any good works -- so since the whole point of the correct Jesus is that you're saved by faith alone and don't you ever forget it, failing to do good works probably counts as preaching. 

And of course they have their wall signs!

They claim to do things a little different from other people, are more modest, are special snowflakes & holier than the rest of us unwashed heathens.

[Marigold]

The Duggars truly feel they are an example to others by showing their Christian family on TV. 

Oh, and they "encourage" others. 

[SMama]

Sure, they "encourage others" to look the other way when your son molests your daughters, to irresponsibly breed while cramming 14 blessings in two bedrooms, to spend $250,000 on a failed senate race, while aforementioned blessings are accepting food donations to survive, to have young children raise infants, to be narcissistic assholes, to create fake ministries and beg for donations, to subjugate women, to create an army of uneducated, barely functional God warriors, to have TLC provide free publicity for a cult. Oh yeah that's some ministry the holy Duggars have there.

In fact their encouragement worked so well the Dullards are trying to convert people to their brand of Christianity, in a country they do not even speak the language. Where they don't understand, let alone respect the culture. Where Derelict thinks "preaching" once a week entitles his family to $24,000 in donations for a four month stay. It also entitles them to save their SOS and TLC money, and those less fortunate must donate for the birth of their child. A child they can ill afford, or care for alone. Forget about emotionally nurturing their giant blessings.

Sorry for the run on sentences.

You forgot constantly flying home to get away from the people you are trying to evangelize.

Regarding the donation; do they actually have a non profit? I mean a real one? If so, I would think including the fact the donations are also for when they return to Arkansas, to have their baby, would be illegal?

Yes, Dillard Ministries is a 501c3 non-profit. I think that is the proper designation.

I would like to bless SOS with a more appropriate font. That Comic Sans shit does not inspire confidence.

SMama, your post was well said and oh, so correct. Someone should say this to their faces...including Jim Bob and Michelle's faces.

So, Jill and Derick live in the SOS 'hospitality house' for the REAL missionaries in the area? It looks to me like they're acting as host and hostess to those

who are doing the 'real work' out there. Their jobs are to be social, and Derick gets to preach once a week for a few minutes....in a language he doesn't know how to speak? They are such frauds if you ask me.
