Why are birth rates so high among religious Amish teens who are married?

Is that more of those ';conservative religious'; beliefs messing up families' lives?





Is it terrible to see these religious people have kids so young if you ignore the fact that they are married and stay married until they die and raise their kids very well?Why are birth rates so high among religious Amish teens who are married?
Large plain families are down to biblical teachings on having a ';quiverful'; http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?boo鈥?/a> The regard children as blessings from God.





Within the Amish, family is everything.Spinsters and bachelors are referred to as ';boys'; and ';girls';, because the Amish feel marriage makes one a proper adult.





Another factor is that the Amish do not use birth control and leave it up to God to decide how big a family should be.The Amish also do not believe in abortion because of the commandment ';thou shalt not kill'; http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?boo鈥?/a> http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?boo鈥?/a> .Why are birth rates so high among religious Amish teens who are married?
my aunt lives in a high quaker area and i have had amish neighbors. they are very much alike yet different. They are very religious and they do care alot for their kids. Our kids have kids at 12 and 13 and dont care for them and we pay for their lil monsters they craeted and dont care for but these people take it seriously and care alot for their kids. They also raise their kids with morals and respect unlike kids today.
They get married and let nature take it's course. They do not kill their babies via abortion. I wouldn't worry or feel sorry about the Amish. They have a very strong community and strong families.





I lived around many Amish and were friends with them. Unlike the teens in places like Detroit, the Amish are taught personal responsibility from a very young age and are taught skills and self reliance. Asking for welfare or handouts would be repulsive to them.
I always thought that they have a window of opportunity- der freeforuckall or some such thing that allowed them to enter the world of the verschlepte pinkleheimers, that's us, and decide if they wanted to become one of us or remain themselves? I forgot the precise terminology and have thus elaborated for the sake of explanation. It just goes to show you- a good plow horse is worth many barrels of oil while the fool who drives a BMW has already lost his soul, ancient Bavarian proverb.
I guess if you can ignore the stats on inbreeding from a very limited genetic pool, it all looks sort good on paper.





(And I am not being smarmy. A simply fact. The Amish draw from a very small group of families. Do that long enough, and you will mess up the genes in the children.)





I do give them credit for caring for their children, of course.





I would add that they need large families to work the farms.
It's the culture they're raised in. Some people raise their children to be respectful of others and other's stuff. Other raise their kids to believe they are entitled to anything they can get their hands on regardless of whom it belongs to.
No artificial birth control. The Bible tells them to procreate. We need higher birth rates to support the aging population.
No birth control. It's just like the good 'ol days when people had farms that ruled America with a passel of kids to help out (before massive global corporations started controlling wheat production and who would starve)!
Because they are married and in there religion they need to have kids therefore increasing the birth rate





They dont become felons because they r raised to follow they're religion
Religious people have higher birthrates.
perhaps because they don't believe in killing babies out of convenience like the demo-commies do.
So, is your argument that we should all become Amish? Because that would mean giving up the internet.
they are young. young people love sex. they are married, there is nothing wrong with what they are doing.
so what I don't care











Question : what do you call a man with his hand up a horses rump ?





Answer : a Amish Mechanic
Because kids allowed to bang freely will have kids. Did you ever take health class?
well you know. Don`t go a knockin if you see the barn a rockin.
Amish people have no means of entertainment besides work so it would be intelligent to say that sexin each other up keeps there minds off how stupid it is to be amish
Because they have no clue where babies come from or how to use birth control.
Because they don't know what condoms are.
