'Doomsday Preppers' Couple Decides Impending End Of World Is Good Reason Not To Have Kids (VIDEO)

Most of the doomsday hoopla disapppeared after the overhyped Mayan prophecy date of December 21, 2012 came and went, but there are still people making life-changing decisions about the supposed impending end of the world.

Take Brad and Krystal, a couple with three children from Tulsa, Okla. Fearing that a catastrophic economic collapse and the end times are right around the corner, they decided it's just not a good time to have any more children.

"We would not want for her to be pregnant and in a bunker," Brad said

The couple, who wouldn't let their last name be used, are featured on the March 19 season finale of the National Geographic series "Doomsday Preppers."

Besides holding off on more kids, they've prepared for their doomsday fantasies by taking family vacations to bunkers, instead of traditional choices like the beach.

Krystal says the decision to cap their brood wasn't approached lightly.

"It's been a long hard decision to not pursue [a family]," she said. "But we look at the fact that if we have to go into the bunker, I've had my first son C-sectioned, so my next one would have to have a C-section at that point."

It's a painful, but pragmatic decision, according to Brad.

"Without the medical attention that she would need in the bunker, she would probably not make it," he said.

What makes all you mockers actually think that God coming to Judge this wicked world is the actual armaggedon? You show your ignorance when you all mock, and you show that what Jesus said is true..."In the last days, mockers will come mocking saying, 'ever since the fathers fell asleep, all is the same as it was before" It is clear none of you have ever bothered to read the Bible so listen : Jesus comes back to take His elect away, God lets all you wicked have your own way and then Judgement comes with all the 'unprecedented' things everyone has been seeing all in ONE DAY...Then the Judgement...then 1000 years of God ruled time, and THEN it is armageddon... Read your Bibles and get the facts correct. God said "My people perish for lack of knowledge" and He is Correct!

they have 3 kids already ... enough anyways! Unless they can afford them, best not to pop any more out! So what's the big deal here? I have two - boy and girl ... that's it, I'm done. Perfect - we're a four! Best average count for any family deal in the USA and maybe the world!

We have 7 and not done. If your kids are anything like you, glad you only had 2.
