What do you think of the Quiverfull movement?
-
I first read an article about this movement tonight and was wondering about its general perception. The movement according to the article is based on the Bible verse: Psalm 127: "Like arrows in the hands of a warrior are sons born in one's youth. Blessed is the man whose quiver is full of them. They shall not be put to shame when they contend with their enemies in the gate." Followers, of which there are many, believe "family planning is a slippery slope, creating a “contraceptive mentality” that leads to abortion, and that feminism is incompatible with Christianity. As an antidote, Pride told Christians to reject women's liberation in exchange for the principles of submissive wifehood and prolific stay-at-home motherhood. The core ideology was a direct contradiction of Roe v. Wade: Women's bodies and lives did not belong to them, but to God and his plans for Christian revival." Women of this movement are encouraged to have as many children as possible, who will in turn form a kind of "army" for Christianity. I use the word army as what I've read of this movement, at times the children are called "soldiers for God". Mothers in this movement are strongly encouraged to have natural births and home school their children. The Duggars, on TLC, are an example of such a family. http://www.salon.com/mwt/feature/2009/03/14/joyce_quiverfull/ Repost BTW

Answer:
I think if somone has the money, time and love for this then they should go for it. If they do not then people shouldn't. Depends on the woman it is her choice if she does or does not want to have childern. If your willing to be a stay at home mom and like being a mother to 10+ children go for it.

IF it works for them, that's fine... That is not how i feel however about most of those things, and i'm very happy that i feel this way!
Yeah...this is definitely not the lifestyle for me. For those that choose this, that is great. Of course, in every situation, there are those that take it to such extremes that people get hurt or they force others into it, and those are the ones that worry me. And this article was filled with examples of that.
