Good answers! I agree with charlie_hunter. I think there are struggles and misconceptions on both sides. That's basically what my book is about, and with it I want to try to bridge the gap and bring understanding to both sides. That's why it irritates me that some people come to this thread...

Hmm.. Good point, CuriousArtist.

Deliberatetourist -- I've tried the archives and come up with nothing. Are you a moderator? Why don't you leave it to them to decide the fate of this thread? So far I've seen a lot of good conversation here from all different points of view. It's been very helpful to me. Nothing has gone out...

Only if you make it one, Deliberatetourist. I'm not here to start anything but I warn you I'm not going to stop asking questions until I'm ready to. They can PM me if they want, or they can answer here. Or they can choose not to answer at all. It's up to the people. You don't tell us what we...

This is going great (well for the most part, heh). Here is another question for you, all for the purpose of research, and everyone will have their own opinion, so keep that in mind... Here's the question: You're a virgin. It's been very difficult for you to remain pure, but you have, and so has...

Ok, bad reading on my part. Sorry for the confusion, I wasn't sure. I had two kids out of wedlock. Actually your situation with your ex sounds a lot like mine. I could almost be talking to myself here. Neither do I. I misunderstood you. If you had been married to your ex, that would have...

Thanks so much for your responses.. Perhaps I will hang around for the next ten years. :)

Hey guys, just a little request.. More talk about the virginity issue, less debate about the gift of knowledge (although it is fascinating and I may do more research on it in my own time). :) Thanks.

Ok guys, please lay off twistedsketch. I made this thread to do research for a book I'm writing, and to be honest, I was truly hoping to get twistedsketch's input...which I did...so I am very happy and I thank you twistedsketch. :) To answer the question "yes, why do these threads have to...

I'm doing a bit of research and you guys could really help me out by answering the question, why would you choose not to date someone who isn't a virgin? (We're talking about people who have never been married but who have sinned sexually, and have repented, coming to Christ.) Thanks! :)

Congrats!!! Welcome to the "married" club. :)

Do I understand this right.. That you were married, divorced, and remarried, and it is your second husband who is cheating on you? If that's the case then according to the Bible you're not married to your second husband at all. It's adultery to remarry after a divorce, except possibly in one or...

UPDATE: Thank you all so much for praying! God answered! No one yelled at me for last night or even suggested I did anything wrong. The department manager said she knows how awful it is trying to close at night, and just told me that the most important thing is to have the equipment and...

Thank you all so much. I have to leave for work in 10 minutes and I'm taking your advice and praying...just putting it in God's hands. I will handle things calmly, but if I am punished for what happened last night, I'm going to tell the manager (calmly) that either they have to start...

Thank you!!!

I work in a deli and close almost every night. Last night I was given an impossible list of things to do and I didn't have enough time to get even half of the them done. I worked like a dog for 8 hours straight, except for a 15-minute break. I tried SO HARD to get everything done, but it just...

Thanks, that makes a lot of sense. Things haven't been so bad lately now that my dad (a school teacher) has gone back to work. The pressure's off until next summer because neither of my parents are around to make sure I'm constantly working. As long as I have all my chores and duties done by the...

Hmm.. I've tried separating myself from everyone and everything, like in the bedroom for about 30 minutes to an hour per day, but my family gets upset and calls me "selfish" for doing that. They all take breaks.. My parents take naps, my husband plays on the computer and goes swimming.. Why...
