    Hello from your friendly new moderator! :)

    Hi guys, I just wanted to let you guys know that I am now looking after your subforum. I am primarily an ecumenical team member, but have been granted special permission to just focus on this subforum in the 'ministry' area. I hope we can work together to enable this subforum to...

    Women working after having children?

    I was asked by one of the guys to repost in here, so that the men could chime in, so I have... :) What do you think about women continuing to work after they have a child? I am planning to, and although in 'normal' life in Australia, my Christian friends barely bat an eyelid - mention it...

    Are you going back to work after bub?

    Sometimes I feel like I'm an anomaly amongst Christian circles. So I thought I'd ask here - how many of you are going back to work after bub, and when are you planning to go back? For us, I'll have a year off (I'm not pregnant yet), most of which I'll be at half-pay for (all but 4 weeks...

    What would you do if your child changed religions?

    I'm just wondering... Say your child was still at home after school, so say 18 or so, and they informed you they were now going to be Buddhist/Hindu/Pagan (nature worship, not Satanist!) or the like. How would you handle this in your house? Would you allow them to eat according to the...

    Stand clear - I'm opening up another baptism thread!

    ^_^ ^_^ ^_^ At the moment, I am researching infant baptism in the lutheran church - as my in-laws are Lutheran, and would appreciate it being done when we have children. I'm not sure, hence the research into what it means. Anyway, after asking some Lutherans about it, I would told it was...

    Salvation Army girl asking a question about infant baptism...

    Would you believe this all stems from two heirloom Christening gowns??? ^_^ My family-in-law are all Lutheran. Hubby and I are Salvation Army (although his mum still believes him to be a Lutheran as 'once one, always one'). When there were discussions about our future children, his mum...

    The attitude towards SAHD?

    I'm just wondering... Why is it that the majority of people seem to applaud the woman for staying at home with her children, yet won't do the same for a dad who does it - or for a couple that implement joint part-time work so that DH is staying at home for the same amount of time that mum...

    Question about soldiership

    I realise that my post could ALMOST be considered blasphemous within traditional SA circles, so I'm treading very carefully. Up until this morning I believed that soldiership was meant to be a vehicle towards the more 'human welfare' side of the SA - hence my interest being in possibly taking...

    Alternative Therapies to Help in Conception?

    Has anyone here used vitamins/acupuncture/herbal remedies to assist in conceiving? What are your thoughts on using these types of things? What has been your experience with them? There is a company over in Australia reaching great success with a homemade herbal remedy for people struggling...

    Food/Drink to avoid?

    What aren't you eating or drinking anymore? So far I've been advised to avoid soft cheese, some meat (particularly uncooked like Sashimi or the like), chickens and caffeine/alcohol, once we start ttc/fall pregant.

    Are/Were You Fine with 2nd Hand?

    I understand the reasoning against having second hand mattresses and carseats for baby – but were you happy to accept or buy second-hand gear? Most people I know seem to be turning their nose up at hand-me-downs from family and friends, and wouldn't dream about using an opportunity shop...

    How much did you buy pre-baby?

    I was just wondering how many things people actually bought before the birth, particularly in regards to nappies and clothes. Due to me having severe excema and nappy rashes when I was little (and therefore restricted in regards to types of material I could wear), I am pretty hesitant to go...

    When did you go back to work?

    I was just wondering when did you go back to work, after having a baby? I'm particularly looking at women, as that's my situation (it is easier for me to stay home than DH when I have our baby – which is NOT in the oven as yet!); but I'd be interested to hear from any parent who stayed...

    Just how exactly is legalised same-sex union going to be detrimental to your marriage

    I am sorry if I am not supposed to post this here – but I am hoping this thread will rise into maturity, and have personal examples, rather than espousals of why same-sex marriage is wrong. I don't want a debate, just some personal reasons why. How do you feel the legalisation of...
