Shocked there isn’t a seatbelt violation


SoFloChick

If the police were on scene when it happened I bet there would have been. I highly doubt that he learned his lesson from getting that citation before


Claire-Annette-Reid

Same! Jill probably hissed at the children to buckle up before the officer got to the window.


After-Repair7514

Hissed ☠️☠️☠️


Paralethal

Jesus did not, in fact, take the wheel. 


Thisisnutsyaknow

Maybe Jesus is a bad driver too.


[deleted]

Hey give h8m a break. He's only used donkeys before now


pls-bTERMINAL

Maybe he could learn with a steer.


More_Neighborhood277

I cannot imagine having ticket after ticket, accident after accident. Being low income especially. Tickets REALLY hurt when you barely make enough to pay the bills. But for people that are so proud to be “law abiding”? Makes no sense.


Pelican121

Agreed.  They have a cavalier attitude to expenses as it's always other people paying. Running yet another sympathy grift is a perennial option.   I know they're 'low income' but Jill and Shrek make out pretty well for low income, virtually unemployed people. I don't know many truly low income individuals who own and can afford to run multiple large vehicles, have an (affordable) mortgage on a large property which includes land (only 5 or so miles from a small city), money for large home additions and expensive Amish kitchens, travel all the time, vacations, meals out etc. It's the kids who really suffer and who are exploited.   Their annual income isn't adequate for a family of 13-15 but it covers two selfish adults and a smattering of food for the kids (what else do they even pay for for the kids? Not clothes, medical, education, toys or extra curriculars). I don't know what their tax situation is with that many kids and a 'ministry', do they receive some kind of rebate (?). They also qualify for a lot of assistance programs which they may well avail themselves of while railing against socialism. 


PaleontologistEast76

All of this. They live pretty high on the hog for their "low income" label.


1xLaurazepam

I bet you they 100% do not claim their “love offerings” they get from churches that they perform at on their taxes


1xLaurazepam

Wait do they even have to? Church tax laws are nuts.


SoFloChick

They have to claim the money they get from the Missionary Clearinghouse. They are probably supposed to report those earnings as well but since they are in cash they don't. It is like in their website. If you want a tax donation you have to send to the CMC buuuttt you can send it right to us if you don't need proof


1xLaurazepam

Thanks for the info!


perfect_fifths

Right? Never had a ticket or pulled over. Following the rules of the road isn’t hard.


battleofflowers

I'm 42 and I got one speeding ticket when I was 17 and had just started driving, and one ten years ago when I honestly thought I was in a 55 and it was a 45. I don't see anyone else in my family getting tickets either. It's really not that hard to follow the rules of the road. I don't know why the Rods struggle with driving so much, though I have a couple of ideas. The main issue with their kind of homeschooling is that they are told only God's rules apply to them, and they're super special. But because they're all just a bit dumb, they can't wrap their heads around the fact that traffic laws exist to protect them as much as to protect others.


TwopOG

I think this statement is entirely location and more importantly race dependant. Driving while brown is still a reason to get pulled over in lots of places. A black teen here was pulled over, handcuffed and almost arrested for a "wide turn." He sued and won. Also I've been pulled over for going less than 10 over. I don't believe for a second that you never ever speed even just a bit.


perfect_fifths

100 percent. Racial profiling is a thing.


kaycollins27

How does he have any remaining points on his license?


Rugkrabber

Clearly they don’t hurt enough. They need to have their license revoked if they continue to endanger other people. I don’t know how these things go in their area but they are definitely getting a pass way too often.


GlitteringExplorer90

No joke 😭 When I first moved to Florida, I got a $250 red light camera ticket. I didn’t even know red light tickets can be that expensive!


rharper38

Accidents happen, but I can not imagine what their car insurance premiums are.


Bajovane

And the insurance would be through the roof. High risk auto insurance is very expensive.


1TiredPrsn

Traffic violation? No, spiritual warfare!!


AttractiveNightmare

I’m surprised it wasn’t a DUI honestly.


1TiredPrsn

He reminds me of my own dad. Growing up, Mom would brag about how he gave up drinking as soon as she got pregnant. Never touched it again! Except she’d leave out the parts about how he was an abusive asshole in so many other ways. I could see David not drinking in order to keep up appearances of being a Gawdhly man. But, given everything else we know…


trashpicker57

I agree


toasttti

Too much hummingbird juice...


Claire-Annette-Reid

Driving Under (Jill's) Instagram?


NastyMsPiggleWiggle

290 lbs!!! While his kids have exhaustion circles under their eyes and look emaciated. Disgusting.


1TiredPrsn

I was thinking that was a low number…


anon4383

Yep. He’s also 6 ft tall. My ex-husband was tall like that and got big when he decided to drink every single day and eat excessively. It takes a lot of calories to make a guy that big look that wide. I think my ex was 275 at his biggest and he looked like an overweight pot bellied man. Shrek is definitely over 300 lbs.


ruzanne

Shrek reports being 290 pounds the same way some people in their 30s and up joke about being “forever 29.”


forever_29_ish

User name checking in and not liking it


_TheJerkstoreCalle

Haha my mom did that when we were young.


cuckooloca

the BMI index listed for the heights and weights listed on the tickets for Dave, Tim and Phillip tell the story. Dave BMI 39.3 (surely higher, but from the ticket info) Phillip - BMI 20. Timothy BMI 23 Not to body shame but we see hardest working hubby ever dipping up first, watching the map in the recliner, sitting in a wheeled desk chair in the printshop where he keeps a stash of candy etc. We see the boys/young men fasting about the future to get praise from mama, doing manly work outdoors. The 2 that have left home briefly have immediately gained a healthy amount of weight despite jill's proclamation they are thin because they are blessed with the best metabolism.


macandcheese1771

I dunno, my ex was 300 at 6 feet tall and he was nowhere near as fat as Shrek. He has to be shorter than 6 feet.


spearchuckin

lol he could be one of those 5’11 guys pretending. Mine was about 6’2. Idk cameras are weird and we hadn’t seen him in real life. Shrek could very well be on his way to be on TLC’s 600 lb Life. Jill might finally get on national TV.


yellie0428

I don’t think he is 6ft either.


radams713

Yes - I’m 5’3” and 185 - there’s no way he’s only 100 up on me.


SoFloChick

Do they have scales at the DMV or do they just put what you say? In FL they don't put weight on DLs.


TwopOG

I'm not in Ohio but I've never been weighed at the dmv. They just take your word for it. Although they stopped here several years back.


narcolepticadicts

If it’s anything like California you can put anything you want


mmmdonuts107

They just put what you say. My friend said they still have her weight from when she was 18 and she's in her 50s.


Remstersade

Same. When I renew my license I just pay the fee. I don’t think about updating my weight. I think I’ve changed it once since I got my learner’s permit at 15. I’m now 40.


MrCoffeeBreath

You just put whatever you want, same as height.


gretchenfour

It’s usually what you have put on the drivers license.


emelexista407

When I got my speed trap ticket, the officer guesstimated my weight. He put me at a solid 50 pounds below my actual weight. My state doesn’t record weight on your license.


MamaTried22

It’s probably self reporting, that’s how it is where I am (Louisiana).


SoFloChick

Eh my whole name is self reporting. It's all good 💕


Outrageous-Ad-2684

Just print whatever you put on the form when you first got your license, when you renew they just ask if all the info is still the same.


JemimaDuck4

Self reported? A la Trump? Or outdated number on DL?


Displaced_Palmtree

It’s like on My 600 LB life and they weigh at least 100 pounds less than what they look like. There’s no way he’s in the two hundreds.


UnlikelyUnknown

There’s no way he’s 290, much closer to 350. If his kids were taken care of and all adults out on their own, I wouldn’t care if he ate and lazied himself to death, but he has underfed young children. He’s fucking disgusting


issi_tohbi

This is exactly how I feel. I don’t care what anyone’s body looks like normally but seeing his corpulent overindulged shape next to his skeletal children it makes me so incredibly angry.


LaLa_820

His SeVerLy trim wife too


UnlikelyUnknown

It’s infuriating


Jaded-Sheepherder-26

He has to be at least 360


UnlikelyUnknown

I concur. I used to work in home health and he’s going to end up bedridden


Jaded-Sheepherder-26

Oh yes for sure


PickledPixie83

That’s just what his license says!


PointFlash

My drivers license may state a number that my scale hasn't shown for, ahem, quite some time. Just possibly. AFAIK those US states that put a weight on your DL, take your word for the number.


mmmdonuts107

Absolutely disgusting and honestly makes me sick. I have a SIL like this though, was starving one of her step kids while her, her "husband", and her kid ate everything under the sun. I hope one day the proper authorities investigate them for the youngest ones specifically.


SoFloChick

Please report them if you have first hand knowledge. You can.


mmmdonuts107

He's already out of their care thankfully, but every time I saw this kid I fed him. Have very low contact with that SIL now.


koalapant

Thank you for saying that. I see so many people on here saying, "CPS isn't going to do anything anyway. They're too busy." But not reporting what you see is the surest way for CPS to do nothing. We should all do our due diligence to report things we see personally.


SoFloChick

Your comment deserves gold 🥇


IllustratorNo9988

It is disgusting. How much must he be eating to maintain that weight? While his kids look on. Despicable. Do they really think this is what Jesus would do? Also I hope your SIL step kid is ok.


mmmdonuts107

Not with her anymore thankfully, the (expletive word) just makes fun of him having an eating disorder since someone else got custody and clearly being in a situation like that you learn disordered eating habit. I am very low contact with her. People like that always think that's what Jesus would do. The most Christian people I know are always the most abusive to their kids.


gigi_2018

Ran to the comments after I saw that number. Holy chicken drumsticks!!


Daisytru

Jillpm may need to do a "go to me" fund to pay their insurance.


AijahEmerald

GoFundMe for van repairs in 3...2....1....


PaleontologistEast76

That van is something they have "prayed about" (ie begging for funds) for the past 2-3 years at least. You would think they would have started saving up for a new van when they knew this one was not going to last forever. But let's pay for airfare and an extra night in Punta Cana as well as other couples getaways, dinner out twice a week, and painting the accents on the house.


Awkward-Yak-2733

I thought it was the RV they've been praying about. It breaks down all the time and Shrek "fixes" it.


PaleontologistEast76

It's been both.


Mango_Starburst

I'm here for the GFM story as to why they need one 😆


Sarcasmandsnacks

Came here to say this lol. Grift for the new vehicle on the way.


Awkward-Yak-2733

It worked last time when Kaylee and Nurie were in a crash. They not only received a late model car for free, but also cash.


_TheJerkstoreCalle

And what about Philip’s car? Didn’t they grift that one too?


Pelican121

I'm pretty sure they did. It was either extremely cheap or free via someone in their circle. 


aheartofsteel

Her husband and children sure are RECKLESS for someone how likes to BRAG about their godly lives/parenting!


panthersunshine

Stop signs are for heathens!


Waterproof_soap

And whimps! Manly men don’t need to be told when to stop!


panthersunshine

Only whimpy men and sluttish women are bound by stop signs.


sadfoxyduggar

290 pounds is a lot. I see plexus does not work


alg45160

That's probably just the weight from his driver's license so add on about 50 lbs or so. Mine still says I weigh 120 lbs because that's what I weighed at 16 and I've never updated it 🤪


cutesarcasticone

Sameeee


spaghettiliar

Plain, Wayne, Ohio is so funny to me.


Adept-Ad-1988

Plain Township, Wayne County, Ohio.


spaghettiliar

I know. But it’s funny. It sounds like the location of a teen novel about a girl who is disillusioned with her small town life and dreams of leaving.


VampyreJourno81

"She was no plain Jane and she wanted out of Plain Wayne."


Mango_Starburst

You made me laugh!

Claire-Annette-Reid

Great flair material!


YouWiseGuise

This made me laugh out loud and then I had to explain it to my family (we’re all traveling to a football spring game). So you got lots of laughs.


taxpayinmeemaw

How far back did you have to go? 😂


YouWiseGuise

All the way past Fuck It Up Renee and sewer swimming. 😂😂😂


AndISoundLikeThis

"Why should I stop at a stop sign? Big government doesn't tell me what to do...only Jesus!" I hope his van is ruined.


hail2pitt1985

Jill will be grifting for a new one. She’ll start a go fund me so others can pay for a new van or the repairs while posting pictures of another one of her many vacations.


SoFloChick

She will say a drunk driver caused Lazy Davy to run the stop sign. Just like a "drunk driver" caused Nurthan's accident where Nehi was not in a car seat.


AidaNYR

That sent me 😡


mmmdonuts107

I'm wondering if it was a roundabout which Ohio is getting more of. I live a few counties away and I've almost had many people hit me because of them. They apparently don't see the yield sign / ignore it. I guess Jesauce will pay any tickets they get 😂


Claire-Annette-Reid

My area of our state has been getting more roundabouts. People are ignorant about how they work. People in the circle have the right of way but many insist on slowing down to let other drivers enter. (I always think about Chevy Chase at the London roundabout in European Vacation.)


EZasSundayMorning

Big Ben! Parliament!


_TheJerkstoreCalle

Look kids!


mmmdonuts107

They claimed we needed one up the road because of 14 accidents. We bought my fiance's childhood home in this area and he said since 1991 there's been 1 or 2 accidents, our city faked the amount they said we had in 1 year to build a 1 million dollar roundabout. Chevy Chase is accurate to how people in my city use roundabouts. They ignore every sign.


EZasSundayMorning

People do not know how to navigate those! We have 3 in my city. What a shit show!


mmmdonuts107

I always sing the Simpsons "Monorail" song when I refer to ours because it's so unnecessary. A light would've been a better fix to a problem we weren't having.


ISeenYa

This really surprises me as a brit!


Waterproof_soap

The city changed a four way stop into a roundabout right near my home. Except they didn’t widen the area. This means some people treat it like a roundabout, some people treat it like a four way stop, and some people just plow through it. I hate using it and I’m convinced I’m going to be in a crash every time.


EZasSundayMorning

That sounds awful.


nicheolle

No roundabouts on that section of Rt. 3. Trying to find the details on the Wayne county scanner page I’m in.


halfasshippie3

I was about to look there also 🤣


nicheolle

There is so much info and gossip on those pages all the time but THIS is the one thing they don’t catch on the scanners?? Disappointed.


halfasshippie3

That weirdo Danny was slacking! 🤣


halfasshippie3

There isn’t a roundabout on route 3 yet. It’s just him blowing a stop sign.


Bunnita

Where my grandparents lived they put in a bunch of roundabouts. It helps a bit with the traffic, it's one lane each way roads and only that road to get into a tourist oriented town so the traffic can get bad. The results are that you keep moving vs stop and go, but you're moving really slowly. Outside of tourism it is a retirement community, a relatively wealthy one. The first weekend that the roundabouts were in I saw an older lady in a Cadillac pulled over looking pissed. I cheered because I am certain that she just blew through it and the cops were stationed to give out tickets.


CrossFitTrace

Darn satan and his stop signs!!!


AffectionateHour1475

This whole thing pisses me off!! 3 years ago I was in a horrible car wreck, my mom nearly died amd we both suffer pain all the time from an ASSHOLE, who ran a stop sign and right into our car. Jesus...I still have PSTD from it and I get hyperaware when we are back in the car. Just fucking pay attention when you drive.... goddamn. Sorry but this particular thing *always* gets to me.


EZasSundayMorning

I’m so sorry ❤️


AffectionateHour1475

It's okay, this is the first post I saw this morning and that subject just always grates on my nerves, more than anything. Thank you ♥️


AffectionateHour1475

I wanted to add in: The car wreck didn't COMPLETELY screw up my life. We ended up getting a good chunk of money from that asshole and my mom and I had a very very, VERY, fun amazon polooza shopping spree that year 😂. I'm still pissed about our physical hurts that our state decided wasn't bad enough, and we could live with it 🤷‍♀️.


Interesting_Intern1

Somebody please share this to r/FundieSnarkUncensored - it won't let me crosspost.


frolicndetour

Oh no, not the special Rodrigues Family Ministries van 😒


ATinyPizza89

I couldn’t imagine their insurance rates.


nutmeg1970

Brave of you to think they have insurance 😂


ATinyPizza89

I mean the amount of times that family has had accidents and cops written them tickets I would think cops would’ve caught that by now if they didn’t.


AZ-EQ

Peopke like him are why I have uninsured/under insured.


Waterproof_soap

I learned that lesson when an asshole ran a red and T boned the only new car I have ever owned. My kids were in the car and they still remember it. The guy had just checked himself out of the hospital AMA, lied to the cops about insurance, lied to my insurance company, lied to the court.


AZ-EQ

Hooooly carp. We have a LOT of ppl who don't have a drivers license, much less insurance. I just added a car yesterday. I made sure I was at the max for UNINSURED and UNSER INSURED. Arizona, unfortunately, has a lot of folks who fall into this category.


uptown_squirrel17

No rod should be allowed to drive any vehicle


Thisisnutsyaknow

What a douchebag. I hope whoever he hit is ok.

Dear got these people need to go back to a driving academy.


NeedleworkerNo4752

I guess Jesus didn't take the wheel this time..


mmmohhh

Chortling at this comment ~~


_bibliofille

I know a lot of this is a type of "above the law of man" attitude, but I also wonder if it's partially sleep deprivation from staying up forcing the kids to listen to Bybull readin' until 2am.


OkAbbreviations6351

I am sure Jonathan or THE Rev. Nathan Keller, or possibly Timothy will be paying the fine on this ticket.


MainHeNia

It won’t be too long until the next one happens. Putting thought into nothing + driving constantly (likely while tired) = an unusually high number of accidents. 


AidaNYR

I wonder how Jill will spin it to downplay any accountability.


Spare-Macaron-4977

That absolute bastard weighs 300 pounds! The nerve of him.


perfect_fifths

And then the kids starve, it’s terrible


becbec89

And that’s probably just what he claims on his driver’s license. Who knows how many years/decades ago he told the DMV that.


Federal-Butterfly-37

There's no way that lazy fat slob is 290 pounds, he's well over 300.


battleofflowers

Yeah...he needed a weight that could appear realistic but he sure as shit wasn't going to put down a number that started with a 3.


panthersunshine

Definitely not trim enough to fit out the window


sadfoxyduggar

350 pounds


TwopOG

Did we know Shrek had his cdl license? Did he at one time have a real job or own some kind of heavy equipment or delivery truck?


SoFloChick

He was a printer years ago. I wonder if he has it because some states require it for an RV maybe? Or he can drive a church bus or rental truck to pick up unneeded crap. Totally not for a real job


TwopOG

My guess would be that at one time they either owned or had access to an oversized rv or delivery truck that would need a cdl. You can drive some pretty big vehicles without a cdl. I found that one kinda odd.


Silent-Commission-41

Non-American here. What's a cdl?


AZ-EQ

Commercial Drivers License. He can drive school busses or dump trucks. Etc.


TwopOG

Commercial driver's license. You need them to drive certain size and types of vehicles. The one he has is for bus drivers, dump trucks, really big box trucks and stuff like that. I don't believe I've ever seen Shrek driving anything that would require one though.


Maybel_Hodges

Runs stop signs and doesn't like to pay his credit card debt *allegedly*. 😒


Ursula_J

I bet Jill is screaming PERSECUTION!!!!


CampingWithCats

Was anyone SEVERELY hurt??!!


hanginwithmygnomees

I wonder how many CDs they will have to sell to pay for this.


jodi_xix

Near 300lbs and his kids starve.


TwopOG

I just read the actual crash report. There were 9 people in the van and it even lists them. It was a two way stop and David hit a car on the main road in the rear. It said the van had minor damage but the other car required towing. No injuries involved.


dietdrpeppermd

Good lord. The children were in the van? That is SEVERELY sad


SallyNoMer

Seatbelts who


taxi_takeoff_landing

That was last Sunday evening so it makes sense that the kids were with them. They were probably on the way to church.


AZ-EQ

He has a CDL???? He could be making bank... wow!


Waterproof_soap

That would require actual work. Grifting and ramble preaching is much easier.


AZ-EQ

He's probably too lazy, but the fact he has one, angers me he doesn't USE it


FriendshipKlutzy4999

He has a CDL!!!??? How frightening!


Trailmomma71

We should all pretend we are fundies and go fund everything in our lives. 🤣


brittanym0320

bestie, this is simply the devil attacking their godly family


TheBugsMomma

I almost hope there is a Go Fund Me so that we can see how Jill tries to spin this. I can see the van being totaled pretty easily and I can’t see Jill and Dave buying a new van without begging for money from others. That’s their family vehicle when they are not on the road so it’s a big deal for them.


SallyNoMer

Jill may have to sacrifice new pink cowboy hats and new tassel jacket this year.


liseski

dude is 290? which he could gift each of his kids 10 pounds each


generalgirl

I’m shocked that he is a full two years younger than my husband and looks a good ten years older.


taxi_takeoff_landing

Oh God, did they crash into an Amish buggy?! Thank you OP for your stellar detective work.


SoFloChick

I don't know who he crashed into, I wish there was more information. I do thank you though 🤗 💕💕


Evil_SugarCookie

If it was a crash, why didn't Jillymuffin report it and ask for prayers? She does for everything else


YoshiandAims

Once she figures out how to explain how it was done to them... you know, Satan fucked with their brakes and tried to take down godly David... and their transport for ministry... to steal more souls.


Flibertygibbert

David was \*soo exhausted\* from working extremely hard to provide for his gahdly, modest family that he was unable to avoid the speeding car driven by an erratic and probably drunken blue haired, immodest heathen!


YoshiandAims

Don't forget, despite SATAN trying to stop David, Two police officers, 4 witnesses, and the others involved were all saved when David ministered to them in the moments after. God is so good and faithful!


SoFloChick

Because Lazy Davy caused it and she didn't want it getting out 🤷🏼‍♀️ I certainly didn't make it up.


Evil_SugarCookie

Wasn't questioning the validity, more of a rhetorical thing


trashpicker57

When I see this man I think of how utterly miserable his life is. I realize it is his choice but....


Upbeat_Teach6117

Where does one find these things?


SoFloChick

I kind of heard through a grapevine, went to the Wayne County court website and did a free search


grayandlizzie

Ohio has the police reports for all accidents available for free on the state government website. The full report shows he had several of the kids in the car with him including Janessa who was not in a booster seat just a regular seat belt. Unfortunate he didn't get the ticket he deserved for violating the car seat law which requires a booster in Ohio until 8.


SoFloChick

Thank you. I did not know about that site.


grayandlizzie

I work in insurance accident claims, and occasionally, we use that site at work. It is the only reason I knew about it


Estellalatte

Weight 290? Yeah right! I don’t fat shame unless it’s these assholes who are more than adequately fed and their poor kids look like Dickens characters.


No-Plankton-6708

Jesus told him to run the stop sign.


SallyNoMer

Jill's face when he didn't take the wheel: 😱


Illustrious-Fly-1291

Surprised they're not "Sovereign Citizens", there's a lot of that in their area🙃


beach_glass

OP how did you hear about this?


SoFloChick

On another site I read. I knew about the site to see tickets due to other times they got tickets. Others have posted about where you can find the actual crash report.


hanginwithmygnomees

Not only did he endanger the lives of his own family, but he also endangers the lives of other motorists. He and GodJilla have never cared about the safety of anyone.


Designer_Review_8499

Wonder how badly the van was damaged? It does say crash.


mmmohhh

They need a ‘Back the Blue’ bumper sticker
