For the benighted among us, could someone say what "QF" stands for?
I'm pretty sure it means quiver full, but first I had to eliminate "quality foods", "quick Ferraris", and "Quixotic Fundamentalists."
She sounded (in the clip) like she believes in a pre-existence of the soul. I have heard similar nonsense from some QF types in the past. Does anyone know the source of this teaching within the QF movement?

QF= quiver full. A movement among evangelical christians that teaches that any form of Birth Controll/Family Planning including prophylactic methods "prevent" the birth of (spirit babies??) children that God otherwise intended to give you.
I have many problems with this movement. Not the least of which is the teaching that God is Not sovereign, that man may subvert the will of God, that Christianity is reduced to a fertility cult, the (implicet) idea that souls have a pre-existence (or else how can they be "prevented"?).
She is presuming continuity unless rescinded by the new testament.
Wonder if she is consistent with this position?
Any whom, I believe we should go forth and multiply to the best of our ability. That is, if God grants it, we should do it.
I have 3 children, but my wife has had 4 miscarriages. Would that still be deemed acceptable to these people?

My sympathies, brother. And yes, it would be acceptable. It is never about the number of children, it is only about the attitude towards children. I know a QF couple that has zero children. Been married probably 20 years. The Lord has seen fit not to connect sperm with egg (or whatever the issue may be). Such is His will.

This is exactly right. God is sovereign over the womb, HE is the one who extends the blessing. We cannot "force" it to happen.
I grow tired of the "large families" proponents who, if you do not have at least 6 children of your own, will look at you as if you are apostate. These people completely miss the boat.

It's the statements like "and we just said - hey, two is enough, and I got my tubes tied" that stand my hair on end. He will give as many children as he sees fit, it is simply not within our purview to decide how many that will be.
