It can even help to diagnose why those irregular cycles are happening. It does not take much motivation bit it does require 3-5 days of self control. It sure beats accidently killing your baby.

Yes, hormonal forms of contraception can have side effects in some women, but many do not. It's success rate at preventing pregnancy is proven. The pill is also used to treat certain medical conditions, such as endometriosis. To suggest that it is unsafe or damaging is reckless and irresponsible.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5387778566526841808.post-20358429180536242032017-08-23T09:46:53.828-05:002017-08-23T09:46:53.828-05:0010:24--I won't get into the specifics here, as...10:24--I won't get into the specifics here, as I know this blog is read by all ages, but I would encourage you to do research on the many methods of natural family planning. Yes, some require a lot of motivation, but some are very simple and can be used by anyone. There are a LOT of alternatives to the birth control pill.

At best, with correct and consistent use of such methods, the failure rate is 0.4 to 5 percent. With typical use, the failure rate is as high as 24 percent. To be effective, this method requires highly motivated couples where the woman has a reliably regular cycle.

It gets into dangerous ground when people just accept what “preachers” say just because they’re “have the credentials” to be a preacher. However, you are totally right about “any old interpretation,” and actually we shouldn’t accept ANYone’s interpretation. (2 Peter 1:20) When preachers, schooled or not, talk more about their feelings/inspirational-type-speaking/stories/their interpretation, than actually reading the Scriptures as they are, that’s a pretty big red flag. And then of course if anything they say contradicts a Scripture, that’s another indication that they’re more interested in their name than what the Scriptures actually teach.

Having many children has been the cornerstone of their shows. Without the big families, no one would know who they are. So, when one of them states that they are "waiting to have more children " or "planning on having six", it's unusual and going to raise questions. They are obviously doing something to control when and how many pregnancies they have.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5387778566526841808.post-58345884442143587852017-08-21T11:28:05.191-05:002017-08-21T11:28:05.191-05:00She was only 45 She was only 45 Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5387778566526841808.post-85477025986259443762017-08-21T08:02:22.031-05:002017-08-21T08:02:22.031-05:00I don't think the post was misleading in any w...I don't think the post was misleading in any way at all.

Sorry, but any old person can take it upon themselves to preach their own opinion/interpretation. It doesn't mean they're correct. Too much homemade credentials in this society for me. A preacher/pastor/clergyperson needs to be properly educated and trained before they begin opening their mouths to others. This is my opinion, and it's not a hate opinion of the Bates family. I think they just take too much on themselves and assume they're correct about what they open their mouths about.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5387778566526841808.post-49201907848979193252017-08-20T13:27:28.761-05:002017-08-20T13:27:28.761-05:00I can't speak for anyone else but I didn't...I can't speak for anyone else but I didn't feel like the post is misleading as to what they were doing on the mission trip...Anyone that follows this family would know this...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5387778566526841808.post-38728956900813407592017-08-20T13:19:56.063-05:002017-08-20T13:19:56.063-05:00Just curious,was the medical mission trip family m...Just curious,was the medical mission trip family members went on....were they with medical team, yet doing their ministry aspect.
