There was a family that were the one-upsters. Initially, they lived on welfare, while the wife pioneered and the husband started his brick laying business. The business took off and wifey-pooh stopped pioneering and they were off welfare. They had 4 kids (one kid from wife's prior marriage, a daughter who the step dad made feel like crap all the time). Eventually they moved up the financial chain. Keep in mind these people lived in Waukegan and eventually Zion. People in this area for the most part are hard working, average income people. So the N's were constantly throwing things around to make other people feel bad, for things they had that others did not.
What was interesting was that the middle boyz were HORRIBLE! From the time they were born they were evil kids (i.e., tried to set small animals on fire, beating the crap out of the younger kids in the hall, etc.) however, daddy who was elder always got them out of trouble. The boyz were spoiled and eventually left the religion, but they continued their reign of terror. They both have gone to jail for physical abuse, drug abuse. Of course, mommy and daddy have always blamed everyone else for the boyz problems. However, daddy was the first guy to df someone for the slightest thing.
Recently, the youngest boy who was out jail, showed up at a kid's house that he knew from the hall. After too much alcohol, the N boy, got angry about something, he beat the crap out of my friend's son, to the point of the boy having to go to the ER. Elder N, convinced this boy's mother to convince her son not to press charges because it would bring "reproach on Jah's name." Elder N some how spined the tale to make the mom think that it was her son's fault for allowing alcohol to be at the party.
Even though I have been out for years, this family still kills me.
