    Losing hope, feeling bereft

    Although my husband is not a believer, I became 'quiverfull' convicted around the year 2000. I had 4 children plus 7 miscarriages. I am 47 now so, although having more children remains my deepest heart desire, it does not seem likely that I will be blessed. what did I do wrong? Why do my...

    Israel goes full Moloch

    'Choice' doesn't explain why the government would fund it though? Government's not really in the business of giving us what we want, unless it suits their purposes.

    Israel goes full Moloch

    :disappointed: How dreadfully sad! I just wonder what their rationale is for doing this? Do they think it's for the good of society to make sure women aren't out of the workplace or something?

    If you're not successful by the time you're in your 40s...

    I am just feeling a little bit troubled that I don't have anything like the life I thought I would have by the time I hit my 40s. But that is partly because we did have it but we lost it (lost our house a couple of years ago). I'm not working and I don't have a career to step back into, and my...

    Christian Feminism - looking for reading recommendations etc.

    Thank-you! That's really helpful. Is there any title in particular I should check out? I co-incidentally started reading 'The Mind of The Maker' but I'm not sure that would cover feminism particularly. Edit: d'oh! Just re-read your post to see you did recommend a specific title!

    Time Travel

    I love time travel, obviously, one of my favourite sci-fi topics. But in real life... I just wish that I could reverse my own aging so I could be young again. But the 70s were good. But then again I do like costumes, so it might need to be the Victorian age or a prior era. But I would want to...

    All about me, in case you were wondering...

    Hi, I have actually been here for ages, like years! But I realised I had never posted in here so I thought I would pop my head in the door and give you a wave, and talk to anyone who's listening. :ebil: I'm in the UK, in an isolated rural location in Cornwall, without really any Christian...

    Finns det nån som vill snacka Svenska med mig?

    Hej! Jag undrar om det finns några svensktalande folk här som vill hjälpa mig, snacka lite och träna på svenska? Jag bodde i Sverige ett tag, i Stockholm och på Lidingö, men det var för snart tjugo år se'n, och jag börjar glömma, tappa bort ord. Tänkte kolla bara. Svar gärna om du vill :)

    Christian Feminism - looking for reading recommendations etc.

    I am guessing this is probably the best forum to place this post in. Having had a quick search of previous posts, I have only seen posts on this topic which are negative towards the concept of Christian feminism. I'm not looking for a debate, and I'm not interested in people saying why they...

    I've been invited to write an article on Leonard Nimoy...

    I've been invited to write an article on Leonard Nimoy for an online magazine, based on this post I wrote on one of my own blogs, to commemorate my Dad's passing. I said I would do it, but now I'm a bit worried I'm not up to the job... I have done a lot of Star Trek writing for my own...

    If you're not successful by the time you're in your 40s...

    If you're not successful (in worldly terms, I'm talking a comfortable level of wealth etc) by the time you're in your 40s, is it too late?

    Celtic Christianity

    lol, yes! 1500 years too late :) The only way I have really been 'involved' as such is that I live in a Celtic nation (Cornwall) so there is a fair amount of interest in a specifically non-English expression of Christianity down here. I have been in touch with Northumbria Community and have read...

    Favorite Metal Bands?

    I know I am really late to the party, but just wanted to say that it is nice to find a metal corner here. I have very eclectic tastes in music, but metal is my first love musically. I loved Deliverance and currently quite like As I Lay Dying. There is very little metal pre-1990s that I don't...

    MJ Only On Tithing

    I know that, in as far as there is no current Temple, we cannot 'tithe' in quite the same way as Torah prescribes, but assuming that tithing as a principle is a good and righteous one which accords with the principles of justice and mercy, providing for the poor etc.(and not wanting to 'rob'...

    AGAPE Discussion from "What are the 'Weightier Matters of the Law'?"

    That is troubling and confusing. Certainly not what I understood the meaning of ἀγάπη to be, i.e. self-sacrificial love. It would suggest, if that is an appropriate translation from the Hebrew, that ἀγάπη does not always consistently mean self-sacrificial love, and context must be taken into...

    Living in Intentional Community

    Yes, there are certainly Anglican monastic and new monastic groups and communities in the UK, and (just checking...) yes - there also appear to be some in the US. These links only appear to include officially sanctioned old monastic-style communities and not new monastic groups or dispersed...
