$$$ + primitive culture = trouble.
Four daughters? Yikes! I have a son Gary who is 25, a daughter Michelle who is 23 and a son Mike who is 22. I don't think I could afford clothes and shoes for four girls, or computers and cars for four boys! LOL I love them all, but kids sure are expensive! Michelle just graudated from UT in Dec. and Mike enrolled in Concordia Irvine in Jan. Hey it's only money!
We are seeing this in So. Cal. The illegals will outnumber everyone else by 2015. There are already many parts of LA that look like graffiti and gang encrusted Tijuana. Razor wire on top of 8 ft tall fences. Welcome to Americana.
but 10 children per family is not realistic even for Muslims. and it will still not happen in a generation. it is problem down the road for sure. But, it is still being exagerated.
There is one group of westerners that are known to have high birthrates and to get married . . .
PAGING WARREN JEFFS, PAGING WARREN JEFFS . . .
Big problems require tough solutions.

Yup, all of ours is in high school. 15-16-17-18. I can never find my socks, makeup, deorderant, and forget about feminine products.
I love them all, but I can hardly wait for some alone time. LOL
My family at least replaced if not a bit more. I have three, my brother has one and my sister is having her fourth in August. I think my brother and sister-in-law will have one more. They were married seven years before having their first this past year...we will see.
Hispanics have lots of children.
There is a jam of baby carts here.
But I (and even most Mexicans) do not want to live in Mexico. At least Jeffs and his crew of fundamentalist Mormon zealots speak English.
I do marriage preparation counseling. The husband's trustworthiness, and the prospect of support and approval (or lack of it) from relatives and friends are pretty much the determining factors in how (or whether) the wife uses contraception. A husband bears a huge responsibility for his wife's decisions, since they are heavily affected by his attitude toward her.
Another way to put it is, women are not atoms existing by themselves when they make big decisions. Nor are they fools.
That's interesting. I can understand all of those factors having some influence on WHETHER a woman contracepts, but HOW is news to me. I doubt my family ever knew my contraceptive methods, my friends certainly didn't take a vote on them, and the method I used long-term was well established before I ever met my husband.
In our immediate family circle, there are five men between the ages of 30-40. Only one has married and had children (2). If young men are not establishing households, there will be slim chances for your fond hopes.
The sandmaggots and many liberals simply assume that replacing the government of all free societies involves the simple expedient of democratically voting in shari'a law to replace what was there before.
Fortunately, in a Constitutional Representative Democracy, it's much more complicated. The Constitution trumps even a democratic vote.
For example, if enough of us thought that executing all homosexuals was a good idea, voted on it and attempted to act on it, it would not be possible, because that pesky Constitution prohibits the change of certain national foundations by a mere popular vote.
Yes, the Constitution can be Amended by two thirds votes, but rotsa ruck achieving that any time before the next ice age...
There is a lesson here.
God created man and woman. Male and female he made them. To go forth and be fetile and multiply.
We had better get the message and DO something about it!
**Could the world slide down into another "Dark Ages" period?**
And could the United States collapse from within?
Definitely, but we need to repent and change our sinful ways.
Can you tell I am doing a Bible Study on the Book of Revelation?? LOL!
Thanks for your wonderful testimony. Hopefully some others will take lessons!
**I suggest an ad campaign featuring an announcer reading off the side-effects of the Pill. **
Not very many people realize the effects of contraception. A VERY good idea!
