What does this have to do with the topic at hand???

I never got a response when I reached out directly to site management, so maybe I'll get better results here? Anyway, I (and a group of others) think that the Childfree By Choice group should be brought back. It was once a place for encouragement, guidance, and refuge for those of us who are...

I whole-heartedly agree with Navari when she said, "God > Spouse > Children". Love your children, raise them right, but never neglect your spouse. This person is your partner, your teammate, and God designed the special bond and forces of marriage to be holy and distinctly different and...

I won't say whether the things you've mentioned or not are sinful, but I will say it seems as though the dynamics of your relationship are way off. As a fellow person who waited until marriage, I commend you for lasting as long as you have! You are clearly dedicated to serving the Lord and...

Oh, hey! I just noticed this post is several months old. Hope my reply is still welcomed. Also, any updates?!

My mother's parents were a bit like this at first. My Gramma was raised Catholic (now a LMCS Lutheran like the rest of the family) and I think my Grampa was, too. Anyway, Gramma liked attending church and practicing her Catholicism on a regular basis, but Grampa did not. I don't know why, he...

Showing one's kindness is a great idea for attracting friends! Sometimes just being nice and outgoing makes you a magnet to others. Thanks for the reminder! :)

I've ALWAYS felt like the "odd one out", too! I think it's because I moved around a lot growing up and I never had the same in as the other kids. They always had known each other since preschool or something and here I was the new kid infiltrating their group. I mean, I had lots of friends...

Thanks for the reply! It seems like we're the opposite in our friendship histories. :P But yes, I do agree I need a hobby! I'm currently trying to find a kickboxing class here in town (we just moved recently) ... where I plan on getting into shape and hopefully meeting some new people, too.

I have two problems with making friends at church: 1.) My husband and I don't belong to a church yet. We just moved to a new city and are church-hopping until we find the right fit. 2.) In my experiences, it's hard to find friends at church bc, like you said, many are not in our age group...

Uhh, thanks for some mostly solid advice (which I already knew - I was hoping for something deeper), even if your delivery of it was a bit rude.

I'm glad I could help. :)

Ugh, this thread is way off topic ...

From what you've clarified and from my own experiences in life/dating/etc, all I can say is that if it's meant to be, it'll happen. This can mean it'll happen tomorrow or it might mean it'll happen in 50 years. But, usually, if it doesn't happen naturally and easily, it's a sign that its not...

Ah, I see. I thought, from what you wrote in your OP, that you meant the friendship was lacking and that you didn't know how to end it or if you should. My bad. I haven't read your PM yet, but will in a few!

Why only for Christians? Sin is a sin is a sin is a sin, doesn't matter who you are or what you believe. Now, if what you really meant is, "Sure, but only Christians probably view it as adultery, whereas other people probably don't", then that's different.

Can the Childfree Forum please be brought back? I know several others have expressed concern for its removal (supposedly due to lack of activity) and an interest in bringing it back (we need a SAFE place, too). Thanks!

I will tell you something that took me years to learn: When someone isn't meeting your needs in a friendship, that is their way of telling you they don't need you as a friend, and it's time to move on. <--- Sucks, I know. You see, friendship isn't hard, it's actually one of the easiest human...

I know I'm several months behind on this, but I feel very compelled to reply to Avniel's nonsense ... It's funny that you are calling others "insecure" and "bullies", when all I can see is you acting those ways. Being CF is a choice. Most people don't agree with it and take offense to it when...

I'm not raw, but I am a Christian vegan! :) Feel free to checkout my Facebook Page called "Christian Vegan Musings": http://www.facebook.com/ChristianVeganMusings
