I remember thinking that way to when I was young . Being so afraid my babies would suffer during the Great Tribulation . When I was 8 months pregnant with our youngest child back in 1987 the summer convention had a horrible talk intitled " Responsible Child Rearing in this Time of the End " It basically made you feel like such an idiot to choose to have children at this time instead of concentrating on the preaching work .......I wanted to crawl under a rock during that talk . Oh and now look all my babies are grown and ready to have families of their own .
I also remember talking to a pioneer sister that was just so upset and worried about starting a family (this was 15 yrs ago ) . SHe was truly upset because her husband wanted kids ,but she had been raised as a witness and fully indoctrinated in fear of the end . He finally must have prevailed because they now have three girls !
So much time ,energy and happiness is wasted in this horrible religion .
