Yeah this family needs alot of prayers. I am sure their self pride is preventing them from getting the financial help they need from extended family members (and they should not have to be in the position to have to help). Their pride has closed their heart and mind to wise and sensible living.  

 

The first thought that went through my mind is that is alot of kids to provide for. Businesses fail alot and that is no excuse to continue to have more kids. They definately need a better plan then the one they have!

 

It really is troublesome when people throw the term "God's Will" around like they have! It is their wrong definition of "God's Will" and it has also been their excuse for continuing to live the way they have!  

 

My understanding of God's will is it means the same for everyone who chooses to follow God. God's plan does not lead families in the ditch, humans do that on their own will!

 

What is wrong with this picture? Everything.  They are living in their parents' basement! They have seven children! They have no jobs or source of income!

 

It is not possible to feed and clothe, educate, and provide shelter for a family of nine without someone spending quite a lot of money on their upkeep, and the last I heard  there is no "God" that sends cash every month to his followers.  There is something very fishy about this family.

 

At the very least the proper authorities should be involved in this. Religion is a personal and private choice unless it brings harm to others and to the community, and this "religion" sounds as if it brings nothing else.

Today's program brought back alot of memories and they were not good memories.My dad was an alcoholic and didn't provide for our family of 9 children so we lived with no electriciy, gas, hot water or even food alot of times. The church people did the best they could to help us but we still about starved to death.I loved my parents even when we were going through this but I come to resent them too. Dad,f or the things he did and mom, because she let him. She stayed with him no matter what because she thought she couldn't live without him.Us kids paid the price for that. Dad worked some and even had decent jobs but every Friday night he wouldn't come home from work.When he did get home sometime Saturday morning, someone had stolen his wallet??????? so of course we had no money to buy food,clothes,or pay any bills. You've heard the saying"We moved everytime the rent was due"? Well, that was a reality in our home.I married at an early age and we were determined we were going to have a home for our children and they would not have to go through the humiliation I did. That is exactly what happened. I thank God for that. It's kinda ironic now that in our 50's, we may be homeless before too long though. My husband had to go on disability in 1998 for a mistake made in the operating room at the hospital where he was having a simple
gall bladderectomy. I had a good job so we made it. Not easy but we made it. Now, my plant downsized and my job is gone. I can't find a job anywhere and I am really scared. It feels like dajavous in some ways. Not because we haven't tried. I am really having a hard time with this one though. We are 3 months behind on our house payment and no job in sight. We are raising our 2 year old grand daughter because her mommy died when she was 4 months old. I don't want her to go through anything like I did. Please kept us in your prayer. Right now, that is our only hope.

This is really something.

 (7) children that will grow up thinking hand out from (GOD) is the way to live.

We teach our children by example, Now tell me What kind of EXAMPLE is it when they have No running water, NO heat, No food, etc, etc, Why, Because their waiting for 'GOD' to come through for them.

Well i hate to be the one to tell them that they'll be waiting a long time.

You have to take the bull by the horn and do it yourselves, How irresponsible our these Parents? To really believe he's going to come down and turn on there POWER & WATER and  put FOOD on their TABLE.

SOMEONE NEEDS TO GET THESE CHILDREN OUT OF THIS HOUSE AND GIVE THEM A CHANCE OF LIFE. LIFE IN THE REAL WORLD WHERE PEOPLE WORK FOR WHAT THEY HAVE AND DON'T DEPEND ON HANDOUTS FROM OTHERS.

Which I'm sure their wishing they've hit GOLD because they get the chance to get help from DR Phil. (( How would it be)) Most of us work our fingers to the bone to Keep the FOOD on the table, The LIGHTS ON TO see the beauty of what we've worked for each and everyday, AND to have a HOT shower before we go to work.

I'm sorry but I don't feel sorry for the PARENTS at all. They shouldn't be Parents of (7) KIDS C'mon.

They have Neglected and abused their rights and should be made to "NEVER MAKE ANOTHER BABY".

This Subject requires help from the LAW, Not DR Phil.

 

WHAT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT ROLE OF A PARENT-- PROTECT & PROVIDE, Which they do Either, WHY -- Because Mr. FATHER & MOTHER doesn't want to work for someone else BUT THEMSELVES.

((HOW MANY TIMES HAS HE FAILED)) EIGHT, SOMETHING ISN'T WORKING.

WHATEVER-- Take a Hint..

IT'S NOT WORKING, DO YOUR FAMILY  ((KIDS)) THE BEST THING YOU'VE DONE SENSE HAVING THEM, GIVE THEM TO SOMEONE WHO CAN PROVIDE UNTIL YOU CAN. "Plain and Simple"  WHY MAKE THEM SUFFER?

My Prayers goes out to each one of those Kids. And for the kids to have Faith IN themselves and Not to depend on God  BUT TO DEPEND ON ONE SELF.

 

PRAY TO GOD, PRAYERS ARE ALWAYS THE BEST WAY TO FEEL GOOD ABOUT ONES SELF, HAVE FAITH IN GOD. AND MOST OF ALL HAVE YOUR OWN HOPES & DREAMS. AND IF YOU WANT IT BAD ENOUGH IT WILL HAPPENED, IT ALWAYS DOES.  YOU JUST HAVE TO WORK HARD AND HAVE FAITH.

GOOD LUCK TO THE KIDS. YOU ALL ARE BEAUTIFUL. "CHILDREN OF GOD"

 

Pray to GOD, Have faith in GOD. ask GOD for the strength and love to see you through life, GOD does listen, but he doesn't turn on lights and give you food and water.

Amen.

God Bless each one of those neglected Kids.♥

Bella
