I hope none of you kidless people take offense, but I think a lot of you are in lala land. Having kids opens your eyes a bit wider to what is going on in this world. While I respect anyones decis...
i don't think it's the kidless part that there are more DF-ings...it's the singleness part.
My point is, it makes people stronger to have children. Selfishness goes out the door. That is, if Jehovah is put first.
There's plenty of single, selfless pioneers and elders who don't want kids to be able to do more in Jehovah's service. Some want to have kids and choose not to. You're saying people without kids ...
Ok and you are talking about an exceptional few. Sorry, but a lot of people's reasons for not having kids have nothing to do with service to Jehovah.
why do you need a reason at all? it's not like we are required to have children and have to come up with a good reason not to. Please.
I hate to say this, but she is right. Not in how she says it, but she is right. Follow carefully for the following is a brief line of reasoning:
A single person is responsible for one life.
A married person is responsible for two.
A married person with children would be three or more (obviously).
Since by admission it makes you open your eyes up more as to how bad or tough things are-and this would grow exponentially with each child-the logical conclusion would be not to have any children and perhaps even more drastically, not to get married. This reminds me of something said very long ago about a married man being anxious for the needs of his wife as opposed to a single man's anxieties...
Please don't refer to me as "she"; it's derogatory.
Not to mention the fact that you completely echoed what I said, albeit in a more verbose way.
You get sensitive way too easily. Take a chill pill.
Maybe if I take a chill pill, my eyes won't be open enough to reality.
Ooh...Sarcasm! I like it! Haha...
just a heads up...the term "chill pill" went out at about the same time the slap bracelet craze ended.
Sorry, I'm a child of the 80's.
haha now they are called prozac...
