We are doing our part, 5 kids so far. I have drawn a simple chart to show my children how Christians can have a multi-generational impact on our culture. If we were to have 2 children, who then each had 2 children, we would have 6 votes (adding the two generations) to impact the direction of our nation’s policy.
If we were to have 10 children who then each had 10 children, we would have 110 votes to impact the direction of our nation’s policy.
It’s a greatly simplified example for my children, but I believe there is a reason that God consistently told his people to be fruitful and multiply...even when they were taken into captivity. If you want your culture to survive, you can’t allow your population to shrink.
The secular documentary “Demographic Winter” is a must watch movie on this topic. If there were any real journalists left in the USA, this coming crisis would be making headlines across the country.
We're living longer than ever before simply because a lot of the things that used to kill us in our teens, our twenties, our thirties, etc. either don't affect us anymore or are treated easily through modern medicine.
I heard some futurist on the radio a few years ago, and he said that one of the defining characteristics of this modern age is that something like 99% of the population will die as a result of whatever they were genetically predisposed to die of.
My circle has lots. 4 for me, 4 for my best friend, 3 for my doctor friend. We are rural southerners.

Well, I’m doing my part with my third child on the way. What gets me are the yuppy career women that waited and waited to have kids until their late 30’s. They shunted their reproductive cycles with chemicals for years, and now they expect to get pregnant easily. Maybe they had an abortion in their late teens or early 20’s.
I’m not religous and never go to church. I could not be more pro-life. I know too many Catholic and Jewish girls who’ve had abortions. No sympathy for them as they try and have kids later in life. Too bad, the world needs more white people. Sounds bad, but it’s true.
If people born between 2001 and 2011 have children already, there is something deeply, seriously, wrong going on.
I agree that many men want to be/are children. Also, it is very costly now to have them.
;-)
We have had 5 children too! I often chuckle at the notion of “not being able to afford them.” With the help of God and hard work, all needs were amply provided for.
As an aside for non-believers: NO, we do not support *indiscriminate” procreation. We believe in cooperating with the Divine Will.
Costly to have men? You’d better believe it! None of my kids bought a $35,000 pickup truck!
If China put in a Social Security system, and quit brutalizing citizens - birth rates would go down. The best 'social security' in third world countries currently is still 'sons'...
There’s also a book you might want to read: CHILDREN OF MEN by PD James. It’s fiction, but it demonstrates the natural outcome of foolish and/or evil thinking.
My four are planning at least four each and after having old parents like me they want to start their families early and have many. I am helping out by providing them with land towards their houses.
Well, the muzzies NEED a lot of kids. They use them up like .22 shorts.
Bless you! We also had 3 children (wish I had gone on to have at least one more). We now have 5 grandchildren and one on the way. It’s sad that government policies make it so expensive to have large families. We not only have to support our own families, but we pay taxes to support irresponsible people who have children they cannot support.
Its taxes. the Western socialist democracies tax their residents beyond the ability to raise children. It return for which , they “promise” to care for you in your old age.
A large family assures that at least one child will be there to provides for your care and comfort as you age.
follow the cash trail..always...when nothing else makes sense.
“... higher taxes mean couples both have to work and can’t afford children”.
Not that long ago, Dad’s could work and Mom would stay at home with the kids. They were still able to afford a vacation and have a good life. With the tax situation, parents are forced to deal with childcare issues and other problems never really dealt with before. As a result, fewer children are born to parents who want to give their kid’s an average life. IMHO
Uh ... those results may have been true in 1977, but not today!
Their base of white liberals is shrinking due to demographic issues and them abandoning the Dem party. However, all of the assorted ethnic groups that are considered “diversity candidates” are breeding like rabbits on fertility drugs. In other words, the LaRaza contingent will take over the dem party, along with CAIR, NAACP, etc. and end up being the majority of the US population.
Sounds like a good read, I’ll look for it here.
I know that 5 children is considered a “large” family, but I don’t feel like we are, maybe if we have 6 ;-)? My parents worry that my husband and I have done the most foolish thing on the planet—inviting poverty into our lives, yet they love each one of our children. God continues to provide our daily bread, somehow we keep everyone fed and clothed.
We have 5 girls. (Czech/Italian ancestry.)
I have never felt it was “large” either. However, when the children were smaller, I was always asked (with some sense of incredulity), “Are they ALL yours?.” Lol!
Everyone helps and supports each other. Are there difficulties? Of COURSE....but if we had no problems...we’d never grow and mature. Our children are all grown now and all contribute very positively to society...and we are a close family.
By the way, when the relatives give you the “poverty meme”, remind them that the Son of God chose to be born into what was considered “poverty.”
