    The male 'pill' and such

    I was reading an article on the antagonist birth control pill for men: It has just gone into second stage human testing. First stage results are VERY good (it stops fertility and has few & minor side effects in the small group used in first stage testing). The Intra Vas Device (IVD) is coming...

    Venting? You mean showing frustration? I'm not so sure, but will listen if you have an explanation ????

    Hatred in Christianity

    dhuisjen2: You're quite right! The opposite of love is not hate, but apathy. Love, hate, apathy and caring exist as the sides of a square in which a perfect person exists as a dot in the middle and the imperfect as a figure within the square. --------------- Hate is a desire to tear down...

    Its everyones battle not just Christians.

    Now, some of your numbers will be off. All Islamic countries will have a higher percentage of females than is normal. This is a side effect of allowing multiple wives, polygyny. Polygyny requires a higher than normal male death rate. Young men. Yes, it is young men who commit most of the...

    Hatred in Christianity

    Is it OK for a Christian to hate? Christianity has and always has had a problem with hate. Some of our best have done wonderful work to stand up to hate. Many of our worst have done horrors in the name of hate. On this forum we have a dual sexism problem. We have women who hate men and do so...

    Natural Family Planning

    You know that sperm production must happen at lower than body temperature? This method uses heat to kill all sperm and all sperm forerunners. It takes the testicles three months to produce sperm from scratch. The basics of the method require the man to sit in water at a specific VERY hot...

    Natural Family Planning

    There are problems with natural family planning: EVERYTHING must be done perfectly or there is zero protection. Most people just do not have the personality to be picky enough to do everything exactly the right way. I could also get into the heat method of male birth control. It too MUST be...

    a question for the guys

    For my own part I'm more likely to notice a person's body language than anything sexual about her/him. I'm forever looking at and reading what their body language says. I often point out things to my wife, this should be close to what I said to her yesterday: "Look at her! She thinks she's...

    On Nagging

    I can't help wondering if this scenario is true: HER: "Take out the trash." HIM: "She's ordering me around again. I'll ignore her and maybe she won't order so much." HER: "He's lazy." HIM: "What a bossy twit." What do you think? I'll bet I am mostly right in this scenario. We are our...

    What did you get your spouse for Christmas?

    This year was a bit expensive with replacing the car and my plate (dentures are EXPENSIVE!). I got her a LARGE sewing cabinet and a pair of matched jewelry cases, plus a fancy clock. All used and refurbed by my own hand.

    Inaugural Recipe

    Slow cookers do not brown things so aren't as good as a pressure cooker for a goodly many things (I love my pressure cooker!). Try to brown any meat or onions before putting them in a slow cooker. The recipe will be better tasting. At least I think so!

    Inaugural Recipe

    I use mine for chili, stews, soup and some sauces. This chili is one of our favorites: brown to dark two lbs of medium burger add to SC using a rice lifter (it looks like a VERY large slotted spoon) brown two good sized chopped Spanish onions, do the same brown as many sliced mushrooms as...

    On Nagging

    I split this off from the abuse thread (and from mentions in other threads). Nagging, assuming the other didn't hear or assuming we know better than the other. Women do it, so do men. Women get blamed more. A part of nagging is assuming WE know better than the other. (I'm guilty of nagging my...

    a question for the guys

    What a SEXIST and BIGOTED pack of GARBAGE! What you say here is no different from saying 'women are too stupid to engage in politics.' Besides being wrong and sexist it is spitting in the face of Christ! First off, if we grab the people who are members of this group we'd have about 80,000 men...

    Are All Men Dogs

    I am so very SAD to see the misandry and outright bigotry of some of the posters here. Hate dumped onto men is HATE DUMPED ONTO CHRIST! It is rejecting Christ and the Holy Spirit. It is also attempt to kill innocent people so YOU can feel better about your own worthless self.

    Are All Men Dogs

    Your husband hates himself (1). It is, sadly, extremely common in our men. It is a part of the reason for our high male suicide rate, our high male death-due-to-stress rate, our high male accidental death rate (2) and other disasters which plague our culture. The thing here is we have had forty...

    Angels, Stars & the Magi

    There's a belief that they were following a particular super-nova: If true, and it likely is, then YES, they were following a star.

    Christian Extremism's Rise in America.

    There are a set of meta-laws in Christianity which MUST be used for any person to understand or behave Christian. Christian extremism can be said to be those who reject the meta-laws and thus reject Christ in the name of Christ. Some of the very few meta-laws in Christianity are (paraphrasing)...

    Are We Really For One Another??

    There has always been a problem in Christianity of "I'm right, thus you are wrong." Plus, people getting very angry and even violent in support of their opinion. We in today's church also have the problem of many people who THINK they know the Bible and don't know diddly-squat; people who can't...

    Abuse...

    You NEED to talk this over with someone who does not hold men in contempt. Sadly, that will likely mean going outside of Christianity. (What a SICK thing to have to say, but reality is reality and this is reality.) Verbal abuse is NOT nagging! It is degradation and several orders of magnitude...
