    Do you carry a firearm in church?

    Yes, I make a point of carrying every week because I know I am the only person who does so, although I think my dad is going to start carrying also. There have been a fair number of church shootings across the country (1 is too many), so we feel the ability to react is desirable. I also make the...

    Told husband I was raped but no support

    I agree with the others here. You need to protect yourself from further hurt and pain at this point. If that means leaving your abusive husband, so be it. Hopefully he will see what he is losing. But he probably won't, so try not to be too surprised. You are still young. If you get...

    I am waiting to miscarry...........

    My little sister is pregnant for the first time and also waiting to miscarry. Several weeks ago the doctors told her the baby's heart is fatally flawed and the baby will either die inside her or will be stillborn. She is like 6 months pregnant now and the baby is still alive, but it is too...

    Meeting online...then meeting in person......read this story!!

    Okay, it's just my opinion and it's just a suggestion, but a good step in the right direction would be to NEVER use the word "gal" again! :D

    Do you believe in online dating?

    I think online meeting is okay. It is not always long distance! I know someone who met her husband online, but he just lived a little ways away from her--I have heard other people say that too! You young'ens may not know this, but in olden times, people found pen pals in the backs of...

    Female leadership in the local church

    I didn't see anyone say "male chauvinist pig"... My personal feeling about the passage in Timothy in which Paul lays out the church leadership positions (and most of Paul's writings, for that matter) is that Paul was influenced by and working within the social constructs of the time. In...

    Here are my tips for asking a girl out

    I think either of those places are okay. You say if she works with the public--like a bank teller or a librarian or something? I don't see why not. Harassment only applies to coworkers, not customers. Good luck!

    Meeting online...then meeting in person......read this story!!

    Oh my gosh, what a wuss! :eek: Most men don't blow me off until AFTER the first date! I have never met a man that was good-looking enough to get away with that kind of c***! Good riddance to bad rubbish!

    Singles Forum: Random thoughts, spurts, and ramblings

    I just wanted to tell you all that, even though I am past 30 (ahem), this forum is way more fun than the 30s forum. ;)

    What do you love about being single?

    Okay, I'm the shallowest person in the world! My first reaction to this question was, "Being able to have as many shoes as I want!" I agree though--at this point I would be willing to give up buying so many shoes if it meant I could have a life partner. :sigh:

    Ladies only: What superficial things make you notice a guy?

    Irascible, LM*O!!! But, hey--you didn't tell us you were asking so that you could make fun of us! No fair!!!

    Female leadership in the local church

    Yeah, I didn't know that either. I wonder where you heard it... The other problem with this--besides being incredibly brash and disrespectful--is that it is not considerate of those of us who have not been fortunate enough to be married and/or have children. I am supposed to sit at home and...
