4) Birth Control

I am going to forbid birth control to the women of Unification Church. I will say, "Go ahead and have many children." As I had said, have many children," after I came to America I had to show a good example; so I said to Mother, "Have many sons and daughters." (123-276)

Joseph was the eleventh of Jacob's twelve sons, If Jacob had applied birth control, could Joseph become Prime Minister? (Laughter) The more time goes by, the better children you will have. They will have more of the fortune of the Unification Church. It is true. After you have gone to the spirit world, and God says, "I was going to send, through your family, a man who can control the universe, but you have cut his throat," what will you do? If you bear them, they will feed themselves even if you don't eat. Even having ten babies a day is okay. Have children. (laughter)

You must not use birth control. In the satanic world they will have more birth control and in the church we will have lots of children. That also applies to True Mother. We have decided we should have at least twelve children, so we are heading for that goal. Do we have many? We now have eight brothers and sisters, so that is close to twelve. If we quit having daughters and have only sons, we might have fifteen or sixteen. So when I gave Mother this task, she was worried. She even said that she wished she could expect the second baby before giving birth to the first one.

Even Mother is doing this, so what right do you people have to use birth control? If you were granted 7 sons, you must be grateful. They are all grown, and aren't they all strong? If they have nothing to eat they would even eat their own mother's bones to survive. They should be like that. Recently I have heard reports that people of our church live in crowded one-room apartments with many children... Yes, I have heard of this. Two rooms or one room? (Three rooms) Well, that's quite a few. Are they all small rooms? I have heard that the room is packed, and so on... But those are the best times. (79-142)
