Quiverfull/ (i.e. Duggars, Bates, etc)

[Kimberle]

This site hosted by a lady who no longer quivers, explains this "movement". Be warned, it's like driving by a train wreck ......

I don't understand the site....and they seem to have spelled "quivering" wrong in the green logo...seems to be "qivering"... But I keep thinking of Jack Sparrow when he said "to what point and purpose"...is this website? Seems to have a strong premise, but the scorecard thing has absolutely lost me.

I noticed that, too. I thought it was weird to misspell the title of your own website.

I think it was done purposely. On the front page, it says "there is no you in qivering." A play on words.. no "u".

they spelled it qivering because there is no "you" in quivering...

I have read this website before. I think the author has had a really hard time and I don't want to paint everyone who is like this (quiverful) with the same broad brush. Her husband was a nutcase.

The Quiverful lifestyle is not a lifestyle I would follow for a multitude of reasons, but I don't fault everyone who follows that lifestyle as being exactly the same.

I don't think the report card for the Duggars is very fair. Granted, they are on TV, so I'm sure they expect to be scrutinized, but I sure wouldn't want to see my family's grade! I don't think the Duggars claim to be perfect, but they try to raise their kids right, so why pick them apart like that? I don't think much of that article was relevant to a discussion on the quiverful movement, but maybe I'm missing something? Like non-quiverful families would score higher?
