Some of you forget these people are in my backyard and we’ve been reading about them for awhile. They’re not merely conservative. They had a traumatic event early in their lives (miscarriage or stillborn child) and their response was it was some kind of punishment from god (for their promiscuity?) and therefore better have as many children as possible. As part of this response they also prevent their children from having normal relationships with the opposite sex (you can look up the details). They try to hide serious issues from the authorities, feeling it’s better dealt with ‘internally’ (and their belief system renders them incapable of dealing with such issues properly). They are nice people otherwise.
