Climate change and population control: Be careful what you wish for
9 comments | Read story
The employment lifestyle is against God's wisdom; He delivered the children of Israel from bondage. He warned against debt, insurance, seeking riches and honor. We have made great universities to teach those jobs and made them the gods of our life. Now parents are expected to save for their children's education with costs in the tens of thousands a year.
We are going the wrong way. The employment lifestyle is polluting our air, land, water, food and bodies and robbing us of true freedom. The devil is winning. He opposes God's ways and we are right in step with him. To be saved from what we have created, we must turn to IT IS WRITTEN.
Even if America's TFR dropped to dangerously low levels, we could counter it by allowing more immigration. Great Britain is the same way.
The countries that do have to worry about shrinking populations (and shrinking economies) are countries that have both low birth rates AND a hard time attracting immigrants.
I know plenty of young families with five children, I know many people who stopped at 2 or three because having more would seriously endanger the mother's health. Then there are people who struggled long and hard to have even one child and people like Elder Scott and Elder Tenorio who have had one or more children die at birth.
Maybe at times individuals need to make having children and giving bodies to Heavely Father's spirit children a higher priority. At the same time, I think a bigger issue is people turning against the church who were raised in it. While there are many causes of this, and many children raised by the most faithful and loving parents do turn against the truth, there are times when being more committed and open about following the teaching of the church on the part of parents might help.
A word of advice: don't listen to Cannon. He knows less about the things he writes than he does about his own abilities!
