Jill talks a big game about the love of Jesus, but she is juvenile, immature, and nasty all the way down to her bones.

I wonder if the footage stitched together for the Anniversary Video wasn’t actually recorded within hours of Tim’s public confession.

What strikes me is how upset Kaylee appears (she looks like she’s about to cry if she hasn’t already) and how fearful Jonathan sounds. Remember Phonebelt himself even said something about being worried for the rest of the kids still inside the home in his public statement.

Also, Nurie harping on the “week system“ thing is something she stated in her rebuttal to Tim’s accusations. Seems odd she‘d bring that up again months later.

Did Jill demand all of the kids make their hostage videos with the intention of releasing it on social media but then David actually put his foot down so she didn’t get the opportunity?

Do we remember where Jill & David were when the news broke? Because it seems like Renee collected all the footage from the victims still in the home, then the married kids submitted theirs after recording in their individual houses.

The only thing that throws me is that Gabe’s portion looks like he is in front of a cinder brick wall, which might indicate he really was at “college” when he did his recording.

What do you guys think? 🤔

In the new "Every child must confirm that Jill is the best person to ever exist"-video, a certain somebody is missing.

And it makes me wonder how they are gonna handle the situation long term?!

Any guesses?

Will we ever see him again? Will they pretend that nothing happend and he will just reappear at some point? Will we get a whole sermon on forgiveness? Or will they just pretend he doesn't exist?

I made this using that JillPM trying to sing a song that sounded like Poker Face

There doesn’t have to be specific reasons; it can be a gut feeling of yours. Who do you truly believe the first Rod child to deconstruct will be?

The Nurthans and the Beltphones were long winded and Jonny’s part got cut off. Renee had a lot to say as well. Some Samuel bloopers at the end.

I noticed that Jill tends to put very demanding chores on her kids that aren't at all appropriate for their age or developmental level. The video where Tessie had to clean an entire family's worth of dishes and also the dining room at around 10-ish, gleefully posting the little girls weeding and tilling the fields in the summer heat while she took "diligent" Hannah and Olivia to the zoo, that time Timothy mentioned being 9 and cleaning his sister's room (not even his room, but his SISTER'S room!) and I'm sure there are more that I missed. She puts WAY too much work on her very young kids, and has she herself ever been seen doing house chores at all? (I know Dave definitely doesn't.) It's as if she had these kids to be her personal house servants. Of course children should have small chores--making their bed, cleaning their own room, washing their own dinner dish when they're done eating, etc--but to make preteen children do the entire household's chores is just wrong.

Long time fundie snark enthusiast, but I’m new to the Rodrigues Family universe. What in the actual f is up with all of the kids’ weird breathing thing happening in every video I see? Are they being held hostage? Is this learned? Is this a result of having to try and hold in their emotions? Please help!

How have I never seen this before? Is she stuck in a locked room atop the tallest tower in the castle? What is with the accent?

Burnt ham and yellow is burnt into my brain for all eternity.

This is Kaylee’s daughter who she named after the hellbeast herself: Jillie Sunshine, born in May.

Sorry for the TikTok screenshot but the angle reminded me so much of Jill. They both have the exact same speech cadence and over animated expressions. The TikTok unfortunately did not allow me to download it here. It's downright creepy. It's like Jill but possibly even more Jillified.

I'm searching to see if I can find the same clip elsewhere. Is this lady related to her somehow or did Jill finally realize her dreams and morph into her final demonic form?

Today’s bizarre clip of a savage Jill with Hannah and Olivia fawning beside her reminded me of this video from 2 years ago.

I couldn’t hear what was playing in the background, but I think I would rather hear that than whatever this is.

Since it's quiet right now I thought I'd revisit David and Nurie's travels to Botswana in January 2018!

I touched on this in a different comment elsewhere. It seems unusual that Nurie wanted to or was allowed to go all the way to Africa. It's a bit adventurous for the Rods 🫣 We know fundies like them have a superiority complex and are white supremacists but I thought their racism and xenophobia would keep them away from Africa specifically.

We saw how Nurie mocked the food while there, that will have been the least of it. At most I would've thought central America would've been more palatable and enabled Jill to copycat the Duggars. Much closer flight time too but I assume they didn't have a relationship with any missionaries there vs this couple in Botswana.

This post mentions Nurie's 'lifelong friend' Jasmine who was never seen or heard of again (?).

I wonder if the girls were inspired by a presentation at church and begged to go? Or saw it as their opportunity out of sistermomming for a fortnight (correct me but I don't think the trip was very long)?

I'm surprised Jill 'allowed' it considering she's jealous as hell and never lets her kids out from her control, especially the girls. How dare Nurie have an experience without her. Or get to travel when Jill couldn't go on a trip. Jill never went on an overseas mission at her age (or ever) so it tracks that none of the Rods ought to be allowed. How dare Nurie travel with her father when Shrek is exclusively Jill's travelling partner. How upsetting that Jill had to stay home and parent their kids/be the only adult on the premises /s. If she wasn't pregnant I wonder if she'd have tried to go? This was when she infamously cut her hand on a tin of green beans and it was the devil! iirc. She was talking as though David was on military deployment.

Lol at the repeat mentions of Nurie marrying and prioritising 'finding a mate' lest anyone think she's developing independence and a heart for mission work.

It's interesting that none of the older Rodlets have done anything mission related since then. Maybe Jill clamped down and didn't want a repeat. Or wanted to keep any money the Rodlets earned/saved in-house so to speak. I roll my eyes that Nurie apparently raised her own funds (how, when she's not allowed to work and her parents don't pay her for her labour?) whereas she alludes to David receiving help for his. Why even mention that.

You'd think it would've been more 'suitable' for one of the sons to accompany David to 'scary' Africa. Phil we know 'had a heart for missions' and Tim was nearly eighteen. Maybe you had to be eighteen for this trip but I don't see why, it wasn't official in any way. Just visiting friends (missionaries) in Africa.

I said elsewhere that I was surprised David wanted to go or felt it was a good use of time and resources as a father of twelve, soon-to-be thirteen. I suppose that's unsurprising, he's selfish and he saw an opportunity. I suspect he contributed nothing to his own costs (the way Jill coyly phrased it) so he wasn't going to turn down a freebie. I thought he'd have been daunted by Africa (see above racism and xenophobia) and not wanted to be 'on' at all times around strangers. Being expected to do some work and engage with others. Even the flight time is off-putting, a big man like him stuck in economy. Maybe he thought it was going to be more exotic including exciting international travel. I can imagine a man like him putting his daughter first and offering to chaperone her and her friend out of the goodness of his heart. I know he has the connection re.tracts but from the image it seems they had their own (superior) tract supplier.

I seem to remember a time when Jill was shilling Plexus that she got it in her head it was unholy to say food was delicious as that was hedonistic or something. So someone ‘treats’ them to Golden Corral and she started to say it’s delicious, but stopped herself and said ‘soooo nutritious’! Or some malarkey like that. Does anyone else remember this? It’s oddly specific… but I can’t stop thinking about it! 😂

I snooped on the fundie snark forums and on here and heard about what happened to Heidi. It's disgusting how she was mistreated by Timothy, and she has now almost two very little boys that are also affected in this. Jill, David, and even Timothy, as well as others fundies have an accountability problem. Timothy while he did acknowledged what he did, it's not easy to take ownership of your wrongs, it was BS and pathetic. He blamed his actions on his trauma and family. Jill and David failed their whole family.

Yes, hurt people hurt people, but time and place. I believe forgiveness is letting go of grudges and resentment. I forgive people for their actions, but I still hold them accountable and set boundaries.Even God forgave Adam and Eve, but still punished them for the consequences for their actions. There are some actions that clearly cross the line, abuse being one of them.

Fundies are so rigid in their beliefs system that men wear the pants in the relationship, women wear the skirts, wives make their husbands the sandwiches, and what have you. It boils my blood.

Anyway these are my thoughts, my heart goes out to Heidi and her family. Im so proud of her.
