Sperm is sacred and birth control forbidden

"Happy is the man who has his quiver full of them. They won't be disappointed when they speak with their enemies in the gate."


Author: Psalms 127 Verses #: 5

There is a movement among fundamentalist believers called the "Quiverful" movement.  They escew birth control as sinful and try to have as many children as they can.  They think their sperm is "sacred" and should not be wasted into a condom.  Sex is for procreation.  The women are raised to believe that their roll in life is to be a wife (helpmeet) to a man, birth as many kids as possible and homeschool those children.  They are serious about having babies for Jesus.  One or two children are never enough.  The women are taught through their pastors and prophets and priests that their value comes from being a "baby factory".  The men and male leaders do not consider the strain on the wives and children in this arrangement.  The above bible verse is the sole verse in the bible that these christians base their lifestyle on.  Currently, the Duggar family from Northwest Arkansas are seeking their 20th child, even though the last pregnancy delivery was nearly deadly for both mother and baby.  I discovered a blogger who has a website called http://www.nolongerquivering.com/ where the author is trying to warn women of the spiritual abuse and false teaching of this movement.  The author had 7 children before she realized how dangerous multiple pregnancies were to her.  She also has come to realize how cruel the movement is to the children who are raised to be "kidbots" under a system where they are not allowed friends outside the family or the "movement".  The children are not given the freedom to pursue childhood, but are forced to work and conform to the rigidity within a large family.  The children and the women are to be silent and submissive under the male head of the household.  Why any woman participates in this philosophy is beyond comprehension, but the movement is growing, and by the time the woman "wakes up"....it is too late for her and her children.
