Holy Holy!! 15!! Well my grandmother had 12 so I guess a difference of three is nothing when you're talking that many kids. If they can afford it, I'm all for people having children. It's when you can't afford one and you keep pumping them out there's a problem. Even if you don't believe in birth control just stop having sex.

Just thought this would be of interest to share.
by meatloaf inwhy have such a large family?
when we are out together we get questions like is this a school group?, are they all yours?, are you catholic or mormon?, dont you know what causes this?
these questions give us many opportunities to share with others the hope that is in us, that children are a gift from god.

up to the orleans area (north/center) following back up to osny just north of paris.. it was tough for sebastien and me, especially, being sick.

All the time!!! Sometimes in Franglais/Frenglish. And everyone at my office does. We once had this girl though that thought everything was about her and whenever she would hear someone talking to themselves she would say "What?" It got annoying. But, I love thinking out loud. Vocalizing helps cement thoughts.

I find it funny that they mention "christian" and "christianity" a million times yet not one mention of Jesus at all. Not that I'm a Christian but if an organization claims to be Christian they should at least quote him in all of their teachings.

The pressure started at 13 and went on until I was 15 and the only one not baptized my age. I lasted about a year and then left.

Insensitive talk assignments
by Steve Lowry ini once was assigned a talk on masturbation when i was about fifteen or so.
the theme of the talk was to discourage masturbating (actually to forbid the practice), as it was considered by the society a no no.
looking back on it, it offends me to this day that they would give a kid such a sensitive and embarrassing talk assignment like that.

They assigned the masturbation talk to a young guy in our cong as well. Poor guy. Everyone felt so bad for him.
