abrickrock - Even though we don't agree with this particular thing, there are actually a lot of things that we were thrilled to hear being taught, things that we've been chastized from other churches for believing. So even though this was hurtful, it's not enough for us to turn our backs on the...

Off topic: Those are from "The Five Love Languages" by Gary Chapman. AMAZING book! My hubby and I figured out our languages (him - words, me - touch) and by focusing on loving each other the way the other likes best, not ourselves (example, me praising him instead of touching him) it's helped...

So my hubby and I started attending a church regularly (the first one in 5 years!) and we LOVE it! And then, would you believe, that twice in 4 days we heard leaders in the church say there's something wrong with people who don't want children? The first, unfortunately, was the head pastor...

Thank you for this! This is something that I think a lot of Christians don't understand.

Who says your children will take care of you?

I'm typically not into "self help", Christian or not ( I went to a Bible College and had several of these types of books on my shelf because the teachers though they would help our spiritual growth. A majority of them I ended up tossing because I thought they were full of bull). And while the...

This reminds me a bit of something that happened during my first year of marriage. My husband was working 30-40 hours a week plus going to school full time. So an average week, he was on his feet 70 hours. I was working part time. I really, really tried to help him out as much as I could. I...

I'm sorry if I over reacted, but it ticks me off when people treat this like it's no big deal. It's a very big deal when you've been told you're ugly, you're unlovable, you should go kill yourself, just because I weight 50 pounds more then what's "normal" for most of your life (I should also...

You're seriously deluded if you think this. I've had complete strangers call me "fat---" when I walk on the street. Does that sound politically correct? I have people stare at me if I go into a skinny persons store. Look around you! Skinny women are plastered EVERYWHERE. How on earth can you say...

Well, maybe you know how we feel. I'm sick and tired of being told that I'm lazy, that I'm ugly, that I eat like a slob. I love to walk and walk almost everywhere I go, and that includes hauling groceries home. I eat about the same as most of the skinny people I know. And I'm not ugly. It's...

The Chuck Norris one was my husband. :D The other one, I don't know. I saw it somewhere and liked it.

:D:D:D

Yup, that's pretty much the norm! Now just imagine being surrounded by 300,000 people like that. It was awful. I'm okay with supporting your team, but to criticize and yell and people who aren't from there and don't support the team? Are you kidding me? :doh: When they played the Superbowl...

Ok, my list is pretty long, lol. But I can't narrow it down! "She looks for wool and flax and works with her hands in delight." Proverbs 31.13 "I’m glad you’ve got an absolute definition of life in the universe, but perhaps the universe has got ideas of its own." The Doctor...

You think Nebraska is bad, try living in Pittsburgh. Holy crow, now those football fans are just plain fanatical. I moved there after I got married and only lived there for 3 years. I had a woman yell at me while I was at my job working because I wasn't a Steelers fan. I didn't say anything...

I like that you posted it for both men and women. It's fun to see how the men who chose to participate answer!:thumbsup:

Stereotypes I fit: - I like romance books if they have a good plot. - I like dressing up. I hardly ever wear t-shirts in public. - I'm addicted to chocolate. - I love kitties and cats. - I dye my hair (always the same shade). - I don't like sports, but the execption is when the Red Sox...

Ugh. I despise that "God doesn't give you more then you can handle" bull. Because it's not true. Of course He gives us more then we can handle! That's how we learn to depend on Him!

I just don't understand why people think it's any of their business. And no matter how many times they're told that, they still just don't get it. Whether or not my husband and I have a child does not concern them, therefor their thoughts and opinions do not matter. And instead of offering their...

My hubby isn't a huge fan of tv and watched the entire first season in less then 2 days, lol (thank you very much, Netflix!). He loves it. I have yet to watch it.
