I cannot speak for anyone else, but I can say why I’ve committed this sin repeatedly through the years. Churches have become lazy. They’ve tried to compromise, and the message got watered down. We’ve turned the mass into the world’s lamest concert hall. For me it made mass into an annoying...

OP here. I can’t believe that this thread is still alive after six years! I posted this in the year or so while planning our wedding..when I was struggling to make sense of our future roles after dating for 6 or 7 years already, and struggling with the feeling that changing my name after the...

This has happened to me three times..without the sexual feelings that you described. It was more like pure terror. Twice I've "seen" a large shadowy figure. I've had several more instances that did not involve the feeling of being held down..but more like awakened by negative energy. Each time...

Right here on CF in April, 2007!

I've been around sporadically since early 2007, just not in this section :)

After the initial message we talked quite a bit here and through AIM. Turned out we had a lot in common and although he lived about 7.5 hours from where I was, he had taken a summer job closer by. We spent that first summer getting to know one another, and spent one fall semester apart. He...

Sometime during the last few days of March, 2007, after years of frustration following a relationship path that I knew God did not want me on, I prayed the following prayer, "Lord, I'm done running from you. I'm done being foolish. Obviously I don't know what I need, and what I want must not be...

It's my first horse's registered name :) Most people think it's because my name is Victoria. It's totally not.

My denomination is not better than any other denomination. But the reason I chose to remain Catholic was because it was the only church I ever attended that didn't claim to be better than another denomination.

The entire purpose of science is that it is a tool developed by man to explain the world around him based on evidence and research methods. Scientists can and regularly do accept new evidence that has substantial support. Science is not static..it is fluid..and always changing. Take your...

Why? What if they could do an awesome job, and that was what they really wanted to do and were good at it?

Well it's about time women get the chance to be on the front lines and put their lives at risk to fight for this country. As long as they meet the physical standards set for everybody, I think this is a great thing, and I don't think it will increase anyone's risk. Of course that's only my...

We cancelled cable TV a few years ago. We don't miss the cost and found that paying $8 a month for Netflix allows us to intentionally pick out what we do want to watch instead of sifting through all the crud.

The Sandy Hook Shooting - Fully Exposed - YouTube

I didn't really look too closely at that page, but I do wonder about it. Sandy Hook, or rather, the events surrounding all these shootings have smelled fishy to me. I definitely think the events happened, but the catalyst is what gets me wondering. It had awfully convenient timing considering...

God's will is not on your time frame. Your life is on His will's time frame. Say God has your perfect husband for you, but because you have yet things to do and learn, you are not meant to cross paths until you are..say..25 years old. Would you rather have someone else, whoever comes along...

I think if you ask yourself this question; when somebody does these things to you, how does that make you feel? Maybe this will help you develop some empathy. You recognize that the things you do aren't nice, that is good! Now recognize this; you have the power to make or break someone's day. A...

I pretty much have my original question answered at this point. Jesus did not speak directly on the topic of marital submission. Anything beyond that is a new can of worms, which many of you have chosen to open. So, I'm thinking now that I must be a very strange Christian indeed. Do none of...

If we were never meant to question, than we would have to abide by anything that had the label of God's word on it, regardless of origin. Again, using the logic of "the whole thing is God's word because it says so" just doesn't work. Person A believes X, and person B believes Y. A tries...

It's interesting to note that my only question in my original post was whether or not Christ himself actually spoke on the topic of submission. Many extrapolations and judgments have since ensued! I guess that's thread development for you. What's really interesting is how when a simple question...
