My sister has been seeing a guy for the past 9 months. He is an atheist, has schizophrenia, lives with his mother, and doesn't have a good job. He was arrested for DUI 3 years ago. He supposedly treats my sister well though. My sister is dead-set on marrying this guy. She is afraid of men, has...

I was raised in the Seventh-day Adventist Church. I don't agree with all their theology anymore. I was raised heavily in its culture. I am still caught up in it. I still eat vegetarian. I find it difficult to navigate normal culture outside the SDA church. I am trying to find a new church, but...

Andrews University students put on a bake sale to benefit Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender homeless youth. The bake sale was shut down by the university. Now some Facebook friends I have (whom I attended Andrews with) think AU was being unreasonable. One friend said she is ashamed she...

I am thinking of visiting one. Has anyone here had experience with them? Are they very conservative? Do they have good services? I want a conservative church.

I will be 35 years old next March. I am still single. I always did want to get married and have a family. It seems like all the single guys got married already. Someone always told me that I should try to find a divorced guy with kids. That is the LAST thing I want. Last year someone who hates...

Does anyone have any experience with YWAM? I have heard both good and bad things about them. 1. Was your (or a loved one's) experience positive or negative? 2. Did you think they had good theology? 3. Do you think time with YWAM is well-spent? 4. What are the worship times like? Are they...

Does anyone have any experience with YWAM? I have heard both good and bad things about them. :confused: 1. Was your (or a loved one's) experience positive or negative? 2. Did you think they had good theology? 3. Do you think time with YWAM is well-spent? 4. What are the worship times...

I wonder what you all think of Andrews University. I was there from 1999-2001. I was surprised how liberal it was. I had expected things to be much more conservative. There are Bible colleges in the USA that are much more conservative than Andrews. I have thought of going back there. I am...

I was raised Seventh-day Adventist, but I'm not sure I believe that anymore. I do want to find another church. :preach: I am 33, single, and I want a church that will fit my needs. What I am looking for: Something conservative, but not fanatical. A church that isn't a rock n' roll praise...

I was a missionary for a few years in Asia. I am open to doing foreign mission work again, even though I am 33. I often hear criticism of missionaries from people "back home". I feel sad about that. Some of the things I hear are: 1. Missionaries are unnecessary. People can do plenty of work...

While growing up I was always taught that before the real Jesus comes back, Satan will impersonate Him. He will walk around on Earth, create miracles, and get people to worship him. Also, he will get people to believe false theology and deceive people, making them be lost. Is this supported by...

I had my ears pierced at age 30. Finally. I ended up taking them out for a SDA wedding and one hole closed up on me. That was before the six week period I was supposed to have them in. I had them re-pierced. My mother thinks I'm going to hell. I am turning 33 next week and my mother thinks I'm...

1. Don't rush into things. There may be some people who get married to someone quickly after meeting them and are together for years. But rushing into things can make someone regret what they did. We may think we want someone so badly, only to realize a little while later that we don't want...

Last year I went to counseling. I was dealing with some stress, including a terrible fear of choking that had bothered me for a few years. I was talked into taking some psych meds to "help" me. I took some vistaril at night for anxiety and zoloft in the mornings for depression. I hated the...

I know of some people who are in Ukraine right now to adopt a boy with special needs. He can't walk and his legs are all wasted. He faces a future of living in a mental institution for life once he turns 16 or so. All orphans with special needs are put in mental institutions in Ukraine and...

I was raised in the Seventh-day Adventist Church. I was told that the Sabbath is from sunset on Friday to sunset on Saturday. I was told that I HAD to keep that day holy, or else I wouldn't be saved. My family wouldn't watch television, listen to the radio, go to any public events that weren't...

I am single and almost 33 and wanting to find a nice Bible college somewhere. I am interested in missions. I have lived in Korea as a missionary. I don't really like teaching. I want to do missions that isn't teaching. I would like to go to a place that has other people in their 30s and mid to...

A few weeks ago I dreamt I was in an old mansion. I was in there alone, exploring the place. I had the feeling that it was a place I had been in before, but I was exploring it because I felt that there was more that I had to see there. The mansion was huge, had many floors, and had lots of...

Does anyone here have any experience with Youth With a Mission? I am single, almost 33, and I am looking to be a career missionary. I have already served in South Korea. I do miss being out there, but I feel I need some more training. I wouldn't mind getting a new degree too. If you have any...
