    SOSI Chat and Brainstorm Center

    "the biggest single financial contributor to the cause of 'abortion rights' is the Playboy Foundation." American taxpayers have to be up there too, via our forced giving to Planned Parenthood... : ( That is hopefully changing. I think that there is currently some legislation in the works that...

    What do girls actually want?

    It's hard to say what all women want. It depends upon the individual. For myself, I'd like someone with an unashamed devotion to God who takes his faith very seriously. Someone who has the right priorities but also likes to have fun and has a sense of humor. Other qualities I seek are...

    Are my efforts hopeless?

    How hard you'll "fight" for him? Sorry for being blunt, but why would you fight for such cruel and selfish person?? And why would you give him total control of you and this situation?

    Festival Canticle by Richard Hillert

    Hi, all: Anyone know how I can get a CD copy of the "Festival Canticle" by Richard Hillert? The refrain is, "This is the feast of victory for our God, Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia." Thank you very much! :)

    EWTN in Trouble

    I love EWTN! I was out in Portland OR recently - a place that sort of prides itself on its secular liberalism, as far as I can tell - and as I was driving back into the city from a day trip, I suddenly heard the music for Life on the Rock on the radio! Ave Maria Radio (I believe) simulcasts the...

    Anyone know where I can get a copy on CD? It's the one that starts out, "This is the feast of victory for our God..." Thank you! :)

    11 "Don't Tell The Wife" Secrets

    Women have a bit of #1 also. Even when I'm in a relationship with someone else, I still enjoy being around guys that I find attractive and who I know find me attractive. I'd never cross any lines though, like flirting, etc, with a guy who was married.

    Cancel the wedding

    Ditto bliz!! I was thinking this same thing. Actually, I think I'd take it a step further and not attend the wedding. This "marriage" clearly will not be based on love and respect. I'm not saying I'd speak angrily to him, but I would tell him in all conscience I just couldn't be a witness to his...

    bachelor party -please please help

    "if there is going to be a sex industry, and there is, and if a person is going to use it on one rare occasion, will going to a more reputable place help detract from the business of the less reputable places, even though it helps the sex industry as a whole?" As you might have guessed, this...

    bachelor party -please please help

    "Your word choice here ("done to their mother") makes it sound like he's hurting me. If it were going to hurt me, I wouldn't be okay with it, so that sentence is inaccurate." From kids' perspective, it's not all about *you* and what you're okay with. I think if most kids found out that their...

    bachelor party -please please help

    "I disagree that my bf "knows it's wrong" -- he wouldn't do anything he considered wrong, so clearly he doesn't think it's wrong." Actually, I'm not sure which scares me more, a guy who knows it's wrong and rationalizes it, or a guy who doesn't know it's wrong. I wouldn't have confidence in...

    Stalemate....should I just give in?

    I second the NFP. From what I understand, men in couples who use it really come to appreciate their wives and their bodies. My question though is - will your financial situation really be that much more stable in 6 months?

    bachelor party -please please help

    "If a stripper situation does occur a Christian guy could quietly leave the area, but still be present for the rest of the weekend to hopefully celebrate and be an example to others." Exactly. But if a guy leaves himself in the situation, he IS accountable, whether he "planned" it or not...

    bachelor party -please please help

    "I told him it wouldn't be okay if he did that for his bachelor party," I don't get this - then why is it okay at all? Why would you compromise your standards for any reason? Do you think that wins people's respect? Actually, more to the point, why would your fi even put it on YOU - are you...

    bachelor party -please please help

    Hi, frustrated: You need to be honest with yourself - you and your bf have a fundamental difference when it comes to what is respectful. Please believe me when I say that he is not going to change simply because you want him to. He is who he is. You HAVE TO BE honest about your differences...

    Does "inappropriate content" classify as the Sex Industry?

    I saw an interview the other night that Hugh Hefner and his daughter, Christie, who also works for Playboy, did in the early 80s. The interviewer asked Christie if she would be posing for the magazine. She kind of laughed awkwardly, and said she had no desire to pose for the magazine, and get...

    Did you ignore the red flags?

    My church-going, prolife ex-bf defended other guys, engaged, married, whatever going to strip clubs for "special occasions." That was red flag enough for me - he's history :)

    Men and Commitment Phobia

    This is probably not what you want to hear, but I honestly believe there is no such thing as "commitment-phobia." A guy is either into you or he's not. If he doesn't want to commit, then sorry, but he's just not that into you. :( I'm sorry (and sorry to sound so harsh) -
