If the artist's message had to do with worshiping commercialism, one would think it would be better to use a throne instead of a cross. A cross would be for crucifying/killing (which would work if the message were to crucify commercialism). Probably would be to obvious and not get as much of a...

I wasn't on here when it changed so don't know what it was like, but have seen the imbalance. Thanks for your input.

I didn't say I used the ignore feature, sorry if you misunderstood. It's simply a matter of knowing how some respond and choose not to go round and round with them.

I came to this forum years ago, took and break and then came back with a new perspective on life and questions about the faith I grew up in. I read a lot more than I post, and at times get answers to questions by private messaging certain members but overall it's difficult to get real answers...

Is this because of the limitations and boundaries put on debate and dialogue?

That's true. Give an opinion, get an opinion and hope for the best.

I'm always concerned with these kind of posts about abusive spouses. We only get a tiny view of what may be happening at home. It's troubling, for sure.

Email him the above quote and see if you get a reply. He could just keep sending you invites to services and you could politely decline any further emails or maybe it will open the door to a response....or maybe not.

I understand your post and what you are trying to say. I agree that many become offended to easily. I also see how the same stereotypes and prejudices arise when the word "gypsy" is used. My family is Hungarian Romani. We are a hard working people, hospitable and giving. We are not thieves, we...

Where did you get this "fact"? I've never heard of this "teaching" among my family.

I was referring to levels of classes within races, even if self imposed, they do exist. The Rom people as an ethnic group are one tribe but have multiple sub groups.

We were always told not to make a spectacle of ourselves in public, although the only time it had a religious connection was during the Jesus movement when people started raising their hands in church. Oh, and Bingo.....Bingo was bad. I've since grown out of being afraid of how other perceive me.

It's interesting to know how words we use came into being and how their use and implications have changed or softened over time. To "jew down" and "be gyped" are derogatory terms. I guess I'm older and still remember how they were used to separate and cause prejudice. By the way, the Roma are...

I'm impressed he used the word "tremendously" and not "very" (which seems to be his go to word).

Good man! And great way for him to handle it.

WOW....you completely missed my point. I know you're frustrated, but don't off on me because of it. At this point, you see nothing but the negative so just be done with him and kick him out.:sigh:

Ok, I'll jump into this. What has Ariana said on the subject? To me, it looks like she is leaning away from him and he has his hand under her arm to steady her. Her arm is around him. Are we reading into one photo what isn't there? So, what prevented you from sticking a fork in his hand...

"Thanks so much for quietly closing the doors, I really appreciate it". May be have a few other people also acknowledge his efforts.

One of the key elements in a serious relationship is communication. No game playing, assumptions or guesses of motivation. Treating each other as brother and sister in Christ. Be open and honest and stay away from undo drama. Walk in righteousness and don't worry about others think about you. If...

If you don't mind me asking, how do you know you have a deficiency in lecithin?
