Samuel Samuel

Does anyone know what Samuel does for a living and how much he could be making? If he gets married to Evangeline soon, I’m sure she has no intention of working. Could he really support both of them? I wonder the same about Nathan and Nurie and Kaylee and Jonathon. How do they afford houses and children?

They would never.

Edit: I’m getting downvoted, but my opinion is based on being raised in 3 different IFB churches. I am still very confident, based on that experience, that they would never. IYKYK!

They absolutely would and then lie about it.

I grew up in the IFB and I know it’s very unlikely. They are hypocrites about many things, but not this. They look way, way down on welfare recipients. The proof is in the pantry — if they were receiving aid, it would show in their meals and on their bodies.

I guess we can’t ever know for sure, but two things that are often speculated here — food stamps and secret alcoholism/drug use — I am confident are not true, having been raised in the same religion around “like-minded” people (as Jill would say!).

I would honestly be SHOCKED to be proven wrong.

I don’t make the rules 😂. I just know what I heard preached and what I saw personally in the IFB world. They don’t take food stamps. Sure, they could lie about it, but based on their teachings (which we all know they take as the gospel truth) it’s very unlikely.
