About 1/3-1/2 of the ladies in my church wear hats or scarfs during the worship service. That belief is based on the I Corinthians 11 passage. (which btw says that a woman's covering is her hair) Personally, I think it's just plain silly.

I have a question for mostly the guys out there. Do you have any women role models? Why/why not?

"If she is THAT weak I'm not interested. Sounds like you're making excuses for a messed up gal. I want a courtship where I can ENJOY my woman,and that means dates,travel,and kissing!" ... It seems to me like you're saying "it's my way or the highway." Wanting to not have sex till marriage is...

"If she told me she would not kiss me until the wedding night I would dump her. Somewhere along the line she was taught that sex was dirty,that it was so bad that you had to stay FAR from it. I would be suspect of where that piety may take us post wedding day." Well that's not very respectful.

Thanks to everyone who responded! I appreciate it. To those of you who are afraid I'll have a child and end up with diseases, no need to worry. I mean, with 3 younger siblings and 2 overprotective parents there's no need to worry about that, lol. They would be fine with me kissing whoever it...

First let me say that I have never had a bf and I have always been content with that. But I don't know what the future holds and I am becoming more aware that I could meet somebody soon. I am starting college this year and that is where a lot of couples meet. I am not looking for a bf. I have...

I wear a skirt and a nice top or black dress pants and a nice top. My dad and brother wear khakis and like a plaid shirt. However, I HATE dressing up and I can't wait till the day I don't have to anymore. It's one of my parents' legalistic rules. Most people at my ultra conservative church dress...

I'm 17 so I'm clearly not old enough to be your parent, but I don't approve of 15 year olds dating. You can't even drive! I was 15 just 2 years ago and I remember. But honestly I thought it was silly at the time. Idk at what age I'd let my child start dating. 17 or 18. But I'm 17 and am in no...

I have so much anger in my heart as well. It's awful. -- K

You'll have to interpret it for me.... Sorry... Worshipping on Saturday and referring to Jesus as Yeshua just led me to believe you were one. -- K

Lots of good advice there... I just wanted to say that (even though I believe the sabbath is Sunday) sinning is sinning no matter what day you do it. Perhaps you feel more guilty on Saturday, but I would urge you that God looks on sin the same no matter the day. Also, I am guessing that you...

Please pray for me...I am applying at Chick-fil-a tomorrow. My boss is just horrible and I am glad to be getting away from her. This is a new chapter in my life and with a new job I might loose some flexibility...please pray that everything just works out perfectly hours wise so that I am still...

Hello and welcome!! My name is Kristen. I'm Reformed Presbyterian. Let me know if you ever have any questions! -- K

Thank you very much! While it doesn't make it right, I'm glad I'm not alone. I know it's going to be a long journey, and as bad as this sounds I still wish they hadn't found out. The time that I did sleep last night was filled with awful dreams, and part of me doesn't even believe it really...
