Are JEws currently celebrating the New Yaer or does it have no real bearing for them as a holiday or exciting event? How about MJs? It means nothing to us, but I guess to me I still look at the clocka t midnight. But we arent making any phone calls or wishding ech other happy new year.

Do any of ya'll watch Sister Wives? What do you think of it? Specifically what do you think of polygamy as shown through this docudrama (did I make that up myself??)? Has seeing this show changed your former views on it or at least about the individuals who practice this lifestyle? Usually when...

Does MJism/Judaism differ from traditional views of sexual morality? There is one MJ author who wrote a book about "[cant remember full title]: sexual freedom of Torah" where he actually condones polygamy and sex before marriage IF the couple goes on to get married. Can we talk and are we...

...Mormons? Why or why not? Also, for those of you who have had contact with Mormons, what is your general impression of them? (And I don't just mean the ones who knock on your door)

So it's another Shabbat. I know it's the most significant day of the week for MJs. It's also Chanukkah, a significant holiday for Jews and most MJs. But I dont feel excited about either one anymore to be honest. And it makes me feel guilty. :( That's alls I have to say for now.

So it's that season again, Christmas. As an MJ, I dont condone all the pagan festivities. I was sent a viral Christmas Flash mob video (very easy to find on youtube) and I told my husband about it and he said 'yeah I saw that, it's dumb' and I asked him why and he said cuz it had to do with...

I have to bring some BIG decisions to the table soon and I'm scared to death to talk to hubby about it. (Concerning housing/finances) I just dont know how to approach my own husband when it comes to financial matters. I already know he will probably say no to a big proposition coming our way...

So do you think it's possible that men can be diagnosed with PPND (Paternal Postnatal Depression)? I've never heard of it before, but seeing as my husband seems pretty down right now as I am too I did some research. We are only about 3 weeks postpartum. Anyone have any experience with this? And...

I'll make this quick: Just had my 2nd child a few weeks ago. In-laws are coming into town tomorrow until Saturday. My parents want to have all of us over for dinner sometime this week. Original plans were for Wednesday and everyone was fine with it. My parents are going through some illnesses so...

Here is my birth story AND a photo of our sweet little guy. It was a Tuesday morning. I had actually had a really good night's sleep. I was feeling bright and chipper and so was my 2 year old. She ate well for me that morning, we relaxed and enjoyed the day, I got a few loads of laundry in...

Hello everyone, I realize it's been a while since I've interacted on CF, especially this section so hello again everyone! Shabbat shalom as well. So what's been going on in my life? I'm in my third trimester (with 'baby' #2) and it's been leading me to that ever so pleasant symptom of NESTING...

It seems every year (especially at the beginning) ministers come forward and say 'this is the year of [...]' and sometimes they agree but sometimes it seems vague or random. Where does God say in the Bible that He has a specific 'theme' for each year?

I was reading an article online that was talking about favor and it mentioned speaking over everything from your kids to your cats to your business and home. Not saying I'm against it, but where does the Bible say to speak over everything?

I know I've been posting a lot about marriage both about control about love and about motivation. But I havent been very clear about my own frustrations. Ya'll know I love my husband and I do think he's a great guy. But honestly, when it comes to motivating him to pick up after himself, get...

In referencing back to another thread, it seemed it was going a bit off topic (thanks to me and another specific poster whom I disagreed with) so I figured I'd start a similar thread addressing the particular issue of love and contol within marriage. Can they co-exist? How much of our partner...

Do you ever go through seasons that seem dry or purposeless? What do you do when you need refreshment, but you feel lost instead?

Do you and your spouse have the same level of motivation when it comes to life goals (whether major or minor)? Do you find your spouse is much more motivated than the other when it comes to these things? What do you do if you have the spouse who lacks motivation or planning or the 'get-it-done'...

So last week was my birthday and we've been planning a big date night for tonight. But its not working out very well. My dad is in prompt care today and my parents dont want to watch her for long. My idea of a big special date night is something like sizzling hibachi and then going home for some...

It seems across the marriage board here, when a spouse suggests marriage counseling the other is always against it. Why does this seem to be the norm? If two people are believers and care anything about their saving their marriage, then what is so wrong with the concept of getting wisdom from...

This question is mostly for the Jews that are on the forum: what if circumcision were outlawed? How would you react if you were pregnant or just had a son? This has happened in Germany recently and many Muslims and Jews are outraged by it. What would you do if this happened in America (or...
