Reply #12: I've done some reading about the "Quiverfull" movement the Duggars belong to

[Eyerish]

and it's quite startling. This is an except from a book from two of the followers...

"When at the height of the Reagan Revolution the conservative faction in Washington was enforced with squads of new conservative congressmen, legislators often found themselves handcuffed by lack of like-minded staff. There simply weren't enough conservatives trained to serve in Washington in the lower and middle capacities"

They also go on to state that they hope "the offspring of Quiverfull families might enter national and local politics to bring conservative majorities, publicly-funded education to bring the teaching of creationism, and business to adjure companies to adhere to what adherents see as Christian sensibilities."

The term come from the Psalm 127 reading: "Like arrows in the hands of a warrior are sons born in one's youth. Blessed is the man whose quiver is full of them. They will not be put to shame when they contend with their enemies in the gate."

I don't know about anyone else but that sounds like someone's trying to create an Army for God.

THAT is truly frightening....
