You linked the increase in sexual assault against young women today to the ideas of their grandmothers (or in some cases, it will be great grandmothers) back in the 70s and stated that 'ideas have consequences'. So I think 'blaming the woman' is a fair interpretation of your comments. Are you...

Try searching for Christian care farms in your area - even if the way they work doesn't match your vision, they should still be able to give you some ideas and pointers, plus maybe some support and encouragement.

:groupray: Here's your hug! You seem to know what is right to do - just having a hard time with it and worrying about the future, which is so understandable. Take heart knowing that you are 100% right to take the stand you have. I am troubled by your boyfriend's behaviour though. But he...

Thank you :)

The responses of many of those identifying as 'Christian male' on this forum has certainly helped explain why the church has often been the least-safe place for me to be over the years.

I do! I have lost one friend over it though, as she wouldn't accept me not joining in and I cannot join in the glorification of ANY human leader because Christ is the only one who should receive such honour and glory.

My friend has just asked prayer for her children and grandchildren in this area - they are moving out and praying for safe travel.

That is the thing that concerns me most about his administration - not so much the man himself, but the blind adulation that is given to him by so many who claim to be following Christ. I've even met two women who say that if you disagree with him on any point at all, you cannot be saved...

Ah, so it's the women's fault. Why am I not surprised by your attitude.

You did. The item you quoted said "sexual advances, gestures, comments, or jokes that were unwelcome to you". You went on to say If the way a man asks women out can be classified as a 'sexual advance' then it's time he changed his dating technique. Any man who can't see a difference between...

Where does it say that is counted sexual assault? Definitely. It's one reason why I talk about this topic so much (and why I keep arguing with those on this forum who think it's making too much fuss about nothing) because I want younger people to know this isn't the way it should be - that the...

You shouldn't 'abandon' your old friends (look at those in the Bible, who, when they encountered Jesus, rushed off to tell their community about Him), but neither should they be your closest friends, the ones you turn to for advice and support in tough times. YOU should be the one influencing...

Thank you for posting this. I continue to pray for them.

Also, if a married person suddenly loses interest in sex (or in any other aspect of the marriage), their partner might want to question his/her own behaviour instead of automatically assuming the 'fault' lies with their partner!

If you are counting touching/kissing etc as assault, then yes, I think that is a totally believable number. As to why it isn't 'national news', it would only become national news if all these assaults were reported to the police to deal with - and since not even all rapes are reported, it's a...

You really like your sweeping judgements, don't you? There are LOTS of reasons why a woman might start hating sex. There are several medical conditions which can make sex very painful. Hormone imbalances can also have an effect as can severe trauma These things can often be overcome, but a...

Read the other posts. Instead of discussing whether it is good for a world leader to behave like this, most responses are based on 'it's outrageous to mock such a brave woman' or 'she should count herself lucky she's not jailed for perjury instead of just being ridiculed'. So people are basing...

Whether Ford is guilty or innocent is kind of beside the point. I don't think mockery and ridicule are ever appropriate tools for someone in a position of authority to use. And when that person claims to be a Christian, such behaviour is even less appropriate. I don't see anywhere in the...

I have a problem with anything entitled 'What is wrong with today's...' Just because something is new it doesn't mean it is unbiblical or wrong in any way. (Something that R C Sproul acknowledged around 3/4 of the way through the first video.) Instead of judging music based on when it was...

If that is so, I find it very troubling that anyone would use this man's tragic death to try to discredit a movement which has nothing to do with his death. He deserves our sympathy and respect . I think using the image in this way is very disrespectful to his memory.
