by Vyckie 1) Worldly parents only have one kid ~ two at the most (and sometimes none at all ~ gasp!) because they are selfish and lazy and cannot be bothered with the responsibilities of parenthood. 2) Worldly parents send their kids to public school because they have been duped into turning their kids over to be brainwashed by secular humanism in Satan’s government-run indoctrination centers. 3) Worldly women only care about chasing after Mammon and earthly glory so they waste their lives making greedy men (to whom they are not even married) rich by Full post …

Let The Men Speak: “Quiverfull nearly destroyed our marriage”
“Quiverfull creates two kinds of men: those who control and those who become controlled …” by Brad I was thinking about the things that almost destroyed me and Dawn’s relationship. This wasn’t the only issue but it was a big one. I’ll just let my mind put the words together and not try to make it pretty or anything. When Dawn was first convinced to go to a Quiverfull / homeschool mentality, I was not. I had issues with the movement and even that group of friends. They talked about being submitted to their husbands Full post …
NLQ FAQ: The Bible & Birth Control
Note: Before reading this, please read the “Quiverfull and the Bible” FAQ. Like the “nobleminded Bereans” (Acts 17:11), we are entitled to study for ourselves, so that we may read the Biblical text in an informed manner. That FAQ provides the background for the method of informed Bible reading used here. by Kristen Rosser ~ aka: KR Wordgazer Q: Doesn’t the Bible say we are to receive as many children as God blesses us with, and that birth control is against His plan? Let’s look at the passage on children being a blessing, Psalm 127:3. Full post …
Mayhem On The Homefront: I Feel Good!
Happy Hazelle ~n~ Me ~ by Vyckie I’m starting to feel hopeful that this latest episode of low blood pressure, exhaustion, anxiety, etc. is mostly passed ~ IOW, I’m starting to feel human again! This, despite the fact that I did not escape the sickness that went through the house leaving everyone except Hazelle throwing up and running to the bathroom every few minutes. This MOTH series is supposed to be about the nitty gritty of raising a quiver full of kids ~ but a “tell all” about a house full of digestive upset is way more Full post …
Time Heals All Wounds ~ Part 4: Everything Was So Confusing to Me Now
All beautiful the march of days, as seasons come and go; The Hand that shaped the rose hath wrought the crystal of the snow by Shelly Cruz Getting back to the Cabbage Doll story. Let me explain. In the eighties, a very well known Evangelist that Cecilia’s family was personally taught under, taught that Cabbage Patch Dolls were causing strange and destructive behaviors in children. They could only be alleviated when the dolls were removed from the household, or better yet, destroyed completely! There were some reports claiming… ladies were miscarrying while having these dolls Full post …
Daughter of the Patriarchy: Signs
The end of the world I never had the chance to know by Sierra When I reached the age of nine, I began seriously worrying about the age of accountability and the Rapture. There was no magical number attached to the former; indeed, the fact that I was old enough to worry about it seemed evidence enough that I should worry. I was obviously old enough to understand sin, and consequently was old enough to miss the Rapture. And the Rapture was coming. Of that we all were certain. William Branham taught that only the Full post …

NLQ Open Comments ~ Thurs. May 27, 2010
Ever since NLQ’s one-year anniversary when I opened the comments on the blog ~ and readers rewarded me by posting so many supportive and thoughtful comments ~ I’ve been thinking about how I might incorporate open comments without distracting from the NLQ forum. I really like the “community” feel of the forum ~ but I’m aware that the majority of No Longer Quivering readers do not join the forum and participate in the discussion there. So ~ here’s my idea: I’m going to try putting up “Open Comment” posts every few days ~ no particular Full post …
