31. #28 - well, they didn't have to...
Dorothy Friend ,   Tel Aviv   (10.28.11)
..they were supplied with "Handmaids". But the fact is that divorce on grounds of unproven unfertility on the part of the woman is allowed, and there is no way that you can deny that. No baby in 10 years, man can divorce his wife without having to prove his fertility. Now, if yo want to justify that, I am ready to listen.
32. #14 and 26

MARY WAS NOT A VIRGIN!!!!!!!!!!!! AND HIS NAME IS NOT RABBI YESHUA.
33. Avoid Vaccines, Dr. John Lees Research, Prof Russell Blayloc

Shalom, For common sense reasons why infertility is growing please check out the sterilising agents in vaccines (for population reduction); also checkout Dr John Lee and how Wild Yam Creme has reversed many couples infertility for $15. It may not be that you are barren and bare the whole weight of the Matriachs - just unaware of the contamination and programs in the modern world that are designed for socially engineered infertility. Also check out Prof. Russell Blaylock on population reduction. Google, Youtube etc is your friend. Perhaps the answer lies in more understanding of what you are facing.
34. Praying

My heart went out to these young women. I was also infuriated by the insensitivity and cruelty they've encountered. It is just beyond belief. What arrogance! Any one of us, even those smug ones surrounded by their children, can G-d forbid, have a tragedy in their lives, and need the compassion and understanding of others. There is never any justification for tactlessness and meaness. Haven't these people been taught to care for others and show some empathy to others? Aside from the fertility issues, the scene in the religious community that these women have described is simply arrogance , cruelty and tacky behavior. I wish all of them strength, bravery and a happy ending.
35. Devil is much concerned about Infertility
Dastan ,   Tanzania   (11.08.11)
Bad spirits known as generation terminators are much eating and destroying generations of the borne-again men. If you are not aware of these you may end up balaiming your wife/husband as the cause. Myself it took me more than 4 years to get the first child. But as we discovered the strategy of devil using its generation termintors, we started the wars against it; and we won the battle. Onther couple, a wife went surgery and the womb wa removed due to diseases, but there after the family discovered that was a plan implemented by the geration termintor, they started strong prayers including Esther fasting. Later the women became pregnant. Till now they continuing to bear children while glorifying the Lord the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ of Nazareth.
36. Halacha is primary
Rina Cohen ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (08.14.13)
Who do you think i watching you to get you pregnant at the right time? Well, he decided on the Halacha and he knows your body better than you. don't care about halacha? disgusting. i agreed with a lot of details, but this part really threw me off. and anyway, putting the whole religious sector in a bad light is injust! there is much more awareness nowadays and there is support - if you only look for it! and you're right, some ppl are insensitive. grow from it. now you're more sensitive and a better person.
37. Thank you
