Marry, Have Children

June 01st, 2023 by G.

Elder and Sister Oaks gave a fireside where they encouraged our people to get married, get married earlier, and have children, and have more children.  All very gentle and with due acknowledgment of difficulties and caveats.

 

Sixty years ago this would have been commonplace cliches.

Twenty years ago it would have been bland social conservatism.

2023 its fiercely radical.

Industrialization and desegregation made life hell and people don’t want to being children into hell. The only children that are from are from sluts who have sex out of wedlock and boomers who had the part of their brain that can recognize hell removed surgically in the 50s.

Utter nonsense.

When you hear insults or complaints, listen carefully, because they tell you far more about the person speaking, than the one being defamed.

Yes, this is the Worst of Times. And it is the Best of Times. Complain all you like, your ancestors would have died to have the advantages you have.

I saw a twitter thread recently about how missions really introduce to a much wider demographic spectrum. One tweet was about two kids whose parents were living in an ad hoc shelter beneath an overpass. He said they were very tanned, filthy, covered in scratches, and the happiest kids they met on their mission.
I’m raising my kids on a tiny hobby farm, but sometimes I wonder if for a happy childhood, a trailer park next to open space wouldn’t have been better.

I just saw a news article that stated that Salt Lake City has more households that have only pets than households with children. Very sad times.

I was at a funeral today where the mother of a large family passed away. She and her husband raised 8 children. They had 41 grandchildren and 42 great grandchildren. They (their posterity)were the gold at the end of their rainbow. But in order to get to the end of that rainbow, they had to go through many of life’s storms.
Too many young couples nowadays don’t have the faith to head off into life’s storms.
