I posted the Patreon and it's weird to me in that I could never do it, but I don't think it's particularly weird in context of the Christian world or the entrepreneurial/social media/whatever world. It seems popular with bloggers and podcasters I've come across.
Lots of Christian orgs have a model of raising your own salary. For instance Fellowship of Christian Athletes: https://www.minnesotafca.org/faith-unhindered |
| I think it's a weird lifestyle in Fairfax County. Now Utah I would not bat an eye. |
If you were smart and didn't want to come off looking suspect, you would absolutely do that. If you wanted to draw attention to yourself you'd make sure you and the kids were far away. In other words, you would've been questioned and held for as long as possible. |
His wife worked at a preschool at a baptist church, what do you expect? |
I’m not talking about Falls Church/Arlington parents who send their kids to Columbia Baptist for preschool. I’m talking about influential evangelicals. |

The patreon thing doesn't seem weird to me. Lots and lots of hustle-types of all stripes sell patreon memberships. I subscribe to one from a planner youtuber who I like. All kinds of people, from tarot readers to artists, to religious types have patreons.
The wife was at Columbia Baptist, according to the patreon she started staying home in 2020. Victim's dad is or was an IRS lawyer and his mom is some kind of energy healer. No lie. Where the money comes from is the least interesting part of this. Plenty of evangelical types fundraise their own salaries. And for all we know, there is family money. |
Family money when they're existing off a barely performing patreon, have two kids, grandpa was a govt lawyer and live in a rental? No. But at least now we know there's no daycare expenses because the wife was taking care of the infant. |
Yes, religious evangelicals are talking about something that happened to one of them. Why do you not understand this? These people were very religious. Columbia Baptist is pretty conservative despite what the North Arlington mamas will tell you. |
DCUMs always think family money means millions. Often, family money is more like simple living expenses from an upwardly mobile grandparent. A supplement, not private jet money. And we don't know anything about her family. |

He was somewhat noteworthy in the religious 'libertarian' circles, as in, donate to the poor people in Africa because 1. Jesus, but also because 2. private charity should do it, not the government.
But yes, it is not weird at all that evangelicals are talking about him, because he was one of them and so is she. I believe they both went to Grove City College, which is both very religious and also does not participate in federal student aid programs, because of those particular religious views. |
Exactly. Why are they living here, it’s expensive and they could run the company from anywhere. I understand they want to be close to family, but I’m from California and most of my childhood peers have moved away because it’s too expensive — that’s how it works. |
They both grew up in Fairfax and were childhood friends. Both families still live here. They were not broke. Not sure why people's financial habits are so interesting, but plenty of people live in basic Fairfax without 300k/yr HHI, really and truly. |
Their rental alone requires $72k pre-tax income. |
Legit lol from me here. PP and I are both terrible people. |
Anyone with google would know where the master is in a rental |
