Yeah, it wasn’t Pentecostal, but had a name. I wish I could remember it. The kids were nice but always were tired and had that look of abuse. I don’t think they were abused like hitting, but they all had to take care of the younger ones or themselves. They were always tired. Funny, but tired.

Yeah the ones I knew (the kids) were pretty decent people. They mostly didn’t like the strict lifestyle and mostly tended to gtfo their parents home as soon as possible.

Catholics were known for that for a long time, some still practice it.
The Latter Day Saints (Mormons) also tend to have very large families.
