[QUOTE="SuZir, post: 651302, member: 14557"] I googled up Quiverfull.This sect around here seems to share the same ideas about children being the blessing from God and the need to adhere God's will, though some do accept fertility treatments as similar medical procedures as any other. However our sect here is not especially patriarchal and they tend to be rather pro education and science. Especially women are often highly educated while men more often than average tend to be entrepreneurs. In fact they are not especially old fashioned in other ways. For example computers and internet is just fine with them even though tv is bad (apparently when tv was a new thing their leaders decided it was suspicious and would give wrong influences, so they decided that it was 'unnecessary and could be harmful in robbing too much of your time.' When computers started to become common in households, they had already figured out they would be needed for business, so nothing wrong in those.) They also tend to be active and participating in community and often do not mention their religious leanings in those connections. Every now and then you get surprised when you look the cv of some politician, businessman or scientist and notice they tell they have over ten kids and are from certain areas of the country and realise they are 'one of those people.' Obviously most of their kids leave the movement when they grow up, otherwise they would already be a majority around here. [/QUOTE]
