    Asking for housing prayers

    Hi everybody, As some of you may know, we're moving interstate for work. Where we are going the property market is really competitive, and our previous trips to find a place have not been fruitful. We are good tenatns who will pay our first 3 months rent in advance and we still can't get a...

    Suggested reading for a future wife of a man who can't handle his finances?

    Tati - no books to recommend, but I'll share my system with you. Work out all your regular bills. Ours include rent, water, electricity, gas, phone, internet, car registration, school frees. Add up what they will be for one year (obviously adjust between annual, quarterly and monthly bills!)...

    The role of women as wives and mothers

    Thanks Global - we're excited about it. It's going to be a big change. I think motherhood is the most important job that I will ever have. Fatherhood is the most important job my husband will ever have. As long as someone is doing it when the other one is at (paid) work, I think paid work...

    The role of women as wives and mothers

    Not that I'm arguing with you, but why do you think work at home has value over everything else? I will answer your excellent questions from my personal experience. 1. Next year, three days after my baby girl turns 1, I will be returning to work (although in a new job to the one I left...

    The role of women as wives and mothers

    Actually, it's Familiaris Consortio - John Paul II - Apostolic Exhortation (November 22, 1981) :D I had to go back and check what I wrote, it was so long ago! I think you mean this question: I like the way you ask it better. Ben wants the computer for a bit, so I'm submitting and...

    The role of women as wives and mothers

    I think you may be on to something there, Rebekka. The reason I said it like that was to illustrate to Creed that I believe that teachings develop in a linear fashion - with those coming after building on the work of those who went before. Obviously Benedict has come after John Paul II, so the...

    The role of women as wives and mothers

    Undeveloped. adj. not having developed or been developed. - Oxford English Dictionary. In my usage, this is a synonym for unchanged. As in, the Nicene Creed has been unchanged for 1700 years. Don't change the subject. Underdeveloped and undeveloped do not mean the same thing. Do not confuse...

    The role of women as wives and mothers

    I believe you wrote this ^ Creed. But as for the rest, you are a plagiarist. Unable to make your own arguments, you've used someone else's without attribution. Mainly someone called Barnes, with a little bit of Kell and Delizsch thrown in at the end for good measure. This bit ... is from...

    The role of women as wives and mothers

    OK Creed. I'm guessing that since you are always talking about Armenia that you speak English as a second language, and you may be having difficulty with my use of the term "undeveloped." Trust me when I say, I don't mean what you think I mean when I say it. Let's move on. 1. I am a cradle...

    The role of women as wives and mothers

    I'm not writing them off. I read the quotes. I didn't skim them. However, the world has developed some since 200AD. Church teachings develop over time. Some more so than others. Teaching on women get filed under "more developed" hence I'm running with what John Paul said. Undeveloped as in...
