Hi ladies. I'm not Christian, but I often lurk here to gain an understanding of current Christian thoughts/ideals/etc, etc.
I was reading on another board that I am on this long thread for Quiverfull women, and it struck me that I've very, very, very rarely heard of black couples practicing this. I read something on another thread here recently that made me think that several ladies here might be similarly convicted.
Basically, the concept is that you fully trust in God to both open and close your womb, and thus make no efforts to conceive or to avoid conception, but trust that God will only give you the children/family that you can handle. I can dig up the scripture that they use to support their convictions, if anyone is interested in seeing that.
I've heard of it painted as a conservative, white, fundamentalist Christian conspiracy to attempt to 'outbreed' the 'heathens' - and while I'm certain there are those who practice QF with that 'goal' in mind, I choose to believe that there are many more who do so solely and fully due to their faith and trust in God and their submission to God's Will.
So - if I'm not being too forward (I'm truly curious!) may I ask?
1) Are you QF?
1a) If so, what led to to such a decision?
1b) If not, had you heard of it before, and what (if anything!) led you away from such a choice?
2) Does your family/friends/church siblings know of your conviction?
2a) If yes, How have they handled it/what has been their reactions?
2b) If no, why do you choose to not share it with them?
3) If you are QF, how many children do you have?
Thank you for your input/consideration, ladies.
