    Husband hasn't worked in more than 5 years. =(

    Yea thats true, you better believe that I would be working to find a new job while I worked at mcdonalds though, even if it was a liquor store. If I were laid off the first thing I would do is get rid of the condo and find a place with cheap rent that we could afford on my wifes salery and get...

    Husband hasn't worked in more than 5 years. =(

    I remember when I was in college and I was trying to apply for a truck unloader job at a grocery store and they said that was a promoted position within the grocers union and that I had to be a bag boy, sorry not going to bag groceries as a 3rd year chemical engineering major. They need to let...

    Husband hasn't worked in more than 5 years. =(

    Why isent he going to school full time, if he is unemployed he should be taking at least 12-14 credit hours. Maybe he needs to major in something like engineering, I have been seeing job openings in Alaska and North Dakota for engineers, I have had like 3 offers this year and im only casually...

    Finally Some American To-Do

    Fixed by the federal gov at 40$/hr of course with adjustments for inflation, etc. Legal defense should not bankrupt someone or pilfer wealth that is how our legal system has got so messed up, that way there is no motivation for a good lawyer to go to a mega corp to defend them and put the...

    Finally Some American To-Do

    Who raked who over the coals, the lawyers likely got the lions share of the money, most lawyers dont do any real work for the exsorbant fees they charge. They are refered to by Jesus in the bible as well in a parabol and its not pretty. If he were smart he would have seen what was going on far...

    Finally Some American To-Do

    Better for their rates to be fixed otherwise not be able to legally represent anyone or get a licence to practice law. If legal fees were fixed it would even out the playing field.

    What is abandonment?

    I think a key problem here is that no one on these forums themselves or anyone they know have ever divorced for frivolus reasons (ie the wife gained some weight, the husband slept in when the wife had an appointment some sat morning, etc). So its hard to imagine all these "90%" rampant frivolus...

    What is abandonment?

    We do it with touching yourself even though there is even less biblical teaching on this (ie none), smoking pot, to a small extent drinking, I have gotten into debates on smoking pot, not that I smoke but there is nothing biblical about the topic. I think the reason we wrangle is because how well...

    Finally Some American To-Do

    Yep, the legal system is beyond messed up, it is so far gone we would need an entire reshift in the nation and a re writing of all laws. Likely it would only happen from a revolution and an exchange in power, like what happened in germany in WW2 though that was for the worse but the same idea...

    Finally Some American To-Do

    There are pluses and minuses to going back to an at fault divorce system. The plus is it would make the divorce harder and more fairly divide up assets and liabilities (property, child support amounts, etc). The main reason I think no fault divorce was implemented was the grossly over paid...

    Contract vs. Covenant - the REAL issue

    Or slavery or a caged animal, what ever analogy you want to use.

    Contract vs. Covenant - the REAL issue

    That is basicly indentured servitude

    What is abandonment?

    I take issue with people that issue advice that amounts to slavery/indentured servitude. Slavery should not be on the table just because he cant come up with a better solution. Just because he says it in a round about way he is still saying it.

    What is abandonment?

    If I am in a difficult marriage that I want out of I would rather divorce on what legalists would consider shaky abandonment grounds rather than go cheat on my wife to make the divorce valid. When my ex was refusing me I was getting price quotes on escorts, thats when its time to file the paper...

    What is abandonment?

    Hmm, I cant tell if I disagree or not, if the husband is refusing to recipicate and the issue is brought up and there is no change that would be sexual abandonment of his wife. Once that frustration is communicated and nothing is done to 100% correct the problem then he is on very shakey ground...

    Portland is a pretty nice area.

    Contract vs. Covenant - the REAL issue

    Just about as meaningless as sexual immorality yet we have no problems creating a mess of legalism out of that term, however when its a term that allows for freedom the church puts the kibosh on it, funny how that works.

    What is the US exporting that people hate so much?

    I used to think capitalism was the cats meow but not so much anymore. I think people need to pull their own weight but the playing field needs to be fair.

If one is not married and is relying on the neighbor going to the temple prostitues is going to happen if it is so easily avalible and inexpensive because the neighbor is not...
