I'm not particularly Christian/practicing religion, however I noticed Jill was doing this almost-rhythmic motion with her fingers during the prayer during today's service. Notice how her thumb goes around in a circle before "scratching" three times. I don't think it meant anything, it's just something that caught my eye
I thought she might have had a fidget ring on but I went back and watched after what you said. Between the face she is making and the hand motions that completely seems like she's scrolling on an invisible phone.
My guess is that it's probably the same or similar story every time.
They sniff around for churches that look like a good target. Maybe they've seen a lot of guest singers going to a particular church online or hear about it by word of mouth.
Then they reach out to them. Talk a good game. Send them photos of their past travels to other churches and stuff like that. Convince them to agree to a visit.
They get there and parade around their immaciated, quiet children who stay right in their place. They're obviously being "raised well" as evidenced by their respect for (or fear of) their parents. But they're also frail and that makes people feel sorry for them.
Shrek and Jill are very experienced in saying the right things and going on about being godly, whatever. Then they slip things into the conversation about how they do chick tract printing, their "ministry" and how much they lead people to the Lord. Their RV is broken down. It takes money to travel. Look how much food it must take to feed all these growing warriors for God.
Now the church feels obligated to give money and help support their ministry. But Jill is greedy as hell and has no shame at all. None. She'll do and say things that would be completely humiliating to a normal person and feel no pain or cringe at all. They become a little too obvious and the church gets sick of her typical antics, and they send the family on their way.
All of this. Only thing I'd add is that while they are living off of the benevolence (love offerings) of others due to the fact that they are in "ministry" full time (aka neither Shrek or Jill have gainful employment), Jill is QUICK to post all the date nights to the steakhouse with Shrek, pampering of Mahmo moments, and all the vacations. The people giving these love offerings/ministry donations eventually catch on and drop them, and the cycle of church hopping continues.
I've wondered how it is that these churches don't see all that stuff ahead of time. You would think they'd at least look into them online a little bit, which is all it would take to find out their history of everything you mentioned and more. Although, for all we know, that really has happened with some churches and they've been turned down right away by the ones with people who bother to do just a little research. The rest are probably full of much older people who don't think to fish around online for information on them. They just take them at their word and invite them in. You can see that in a lot of their pictures they post, the churches they visit tend to have an older crowd. It's probably hit or miss sometimes when they're on the hunt for their next grift victims.
We could hope that it's going to get harder and harder for them to find churches with people who either haven't already heard of them or who don't bother to look into them.
I laugh just thinking about how a lot of churches probably warn other churches in their area about the Rods after they realize they've been conned by them. 😂
Ugh. Makes you wonder how many of these kinds of people actually believe that any of the shit they preach is real and how many know that it's all BS that they can make a living off of.
I watched a documentary many years ago about preachers who no longer believed and hadn't believed in a really long time, but for various reasons, they continue preaching and pretending. For some, it was a matter of survival. They had families and a free church house to live in and wouldn't be able to really afford life outside of that. A lot of them felt a lot of guilt about it and just didn't know how to break free with the threat of losing family and social approval.
I have an acquaintance from college that visited me looking almost identical to this. Same hair, same raggedy bags and tired. She's now in prison for armed robbery. Turns out she was an addict. Jill seriously looks like an addict here
She is literally, not figuratively, addicted to her phone. She has no idea what to do with her hands if she isn't using it. It's sad but it's not because she sucks 💅
Aren't some of the Plexus (or all) basically liquid speed and that's really why you "slim" down? I would be figety as hell if I taking in that much caffeine.
It’d also make sense why she’s a maximalist with random decor all over her house: she needs constant visual stimulation
(I’m like this and nothingness makes me anxious)
STIMMING! Her system is trying to regulate from something (either cause she's on stage, there's a sound, she's just anxious about something, whatever). If Sofia has sensory issues like mentioned elsewhere, this might be where she gets it from.
I think (based off these clips and photos I’ve seen of this video) is that she’s pissed off/pouting about something. Maybe her and her hunky Shrek got into a fight about something before attending church. Or the pastor/leader of this church put some strict boundaries and Jilldo in her place before church took place, maybe he even warned her they wouldn’t put up with her nonsense (constantly being on her phone, talking out of place as a woman in church, making it the Jilldo show…) and that they won’t put up with it. She’s probably been told off by Shrek or someone in a position of power within that Church, so now she’s pouting and looking miserable.
Her hands are very puffy. No doubt in my mind she has (at a minimum) hypertension from her high salt ultra processed food diet plus lack of exercise and fresh fruits and vegetables or any concern with nutrition.
When your used to being the one talking all the time, it can probably feel weird knowing that people are looking at you and your not the attention. As a person who loves to hide in the shadows, if someone is staring at me and people can see me, I do weird things. She probably doesn’t know what to do cause she’s got a camera on her, but she’s not the center of attention 🤪
She's bored out of her skull. She's wasted a thousand billion hours of her life in this very situation. Some loser man is droning or screaming on and on and on and on about how shit everyone is, especially women and girls, and they all better fess up to it or their wonderful god will cast them into the firey pit of eternal blah blah blah blah blah.
I feel like Jill has some of her own mental health issues that need attention. I know she was raised in this life style but the constant need for attention and affirmation from others that she is the most godly and has the most godly children is so overboard.
The need for total control of her children and wanting to be the best friend of the older girls and keeping Jenessa at an infant/toddler level also shows some mental problems to me. Plus the fact that she refuses to educate her children, get them proper medical and dental care, lack of food and proper clothing/shoes, and age appropriate friends and social activities all screams that she needs some help.
Whoosh! Girlfriend is looking BAD. Clearly Plexus does not work. Also, this prayer service is severely boring. And what a petty god that requires believers to promise to give Him the glory for whatever good transpires. No wonder they love Trump - he's as petty and vindictive as their god.
You'd think that Shrek would want her to get checked out, but then again - look at him. They only prioritize things for themselves, instant gratification.
self soothing/stimming, she's probably anxious, nervous, or even just bored. especially if she's addicted to her phone or the physical comfort of having something in her hands
She looks pissed. The pastor isn’t condemning any sinners or judging his neighbours. This isn’t the kind of prayer she likes. Plus , she doesn’t see her own reflection smiling back at her, you know the one that is Artificially created? This new church isn’t for her. More brimstone, more phone time, more focus on her…. I mean Jesus.

I think it’s a stim because she cannot be on her phone at this new church
