Please read the linked article about the “Quiverfull” mothers building an army for God by Kathryn Joyce from The Nation in the title to this posting. The stated goal of the Quiverfulls is to have at a minimum six children, with the father in charge and the woman submissive. They even have a web site at www.quiverfull.com. They are adamantly against abortion of course, but also any form of family planning and they encourage home schooling.Want to know what scares the holy hell of me, an army for God made up of inbred home schooled idiots running our country. What I do not understand is why it does not scare everyone else.Peter Nuhn
I agree with Monika that people should have a choice as to family size. However, having 15, 16, 17 kids is, IMO, extremely selfish and totally irresponsible. There are too many people in the world already draining our resources.
My husband and I have two wonderful children, a boy and a girl, and stopped there. Basically, we have replaced ourselves.
Hi doubledog8…I’m new here, too.
These people make me want to procreate just to balance it out with one more freethinker in the world.
Quiverfull…why does that term make me lauph? Quiverfull. I’m going to just start randomly saying that in my conversations.
BTW, quiverfull has a link to a site that is even MORE scary then their own, its called the Patriarch’s path. I have to agree with AtheistAlexandra, that what these people are doing amounts to brainwashing.
Dresses. Cleaning. 17 babies. (lauph)
submission. (continue laughing…)
