    Tithing Down 62% in the Past Year

    I really agree with you boughtwithaprice. I work with poor people helping them with depression and other issues. Often as I have the reputation of being a Christian, I get people wanting Christian Counseling. I can't tell you how many of the people I work with tell me that they don't want to...

    need help getting out of this hole...

    I have talked with others who say much the same thing here in the safety of my small city. I can certainly understand that your location might make things even tougher. My advice is to do what everyone else has said: pray and keep fighting. But I have some other suggestions too. (Just take...

    Discovering of Aliens Change Your View of Christianity....

    The universe is huge and my vision of God is that He is bigger than the universe and created the universe. I have no doubt at all that there are other beings created by God.

    being a submissive wife?

    I read a book about submission just before I got married. (Sorry, I don't recall the name right now.) It was a fairly recent book. Anyway, my husband saw the book (It had "Submission" in the title) and he was livid. He did not want me to read the book. It was a very confusing time for me...

    CHAOS: "Can't Have Anyone Over" Club about Organizing our Homes.

    I started a similar group on another forum site but it became all about "Fly Lady". (Fly Lady by the way is a web email program that sends out reminders to clean certain spots throughout the day.) I can't follow that program as I work 50-60 hours a week. My problem is that I am not organized...

    being a submissive wife?

    So, Cammie, if your husband beat the tar out of you for how you speak to other people like you do here, then you would submit to his abuse? So, you think that a husband can beat a wife to death and it is God's Will? I don't know what bible you have written, but the bible I read is inspired...

    Sexual abuse and false memories

    Cammie, I thought you were in realestate? I am a psychologist who specializes in sexual offender treatment and recovery from sexual abuse. The information you just posted in not true. In the 80's there was a trend like you mentioned, but it is not found in today's practice. Please don't speak...

    What Constitutes Sex Before Marriage?

    God can help anyone overcome temptation if we ask him. "Ask and you shall receive." I believe that too many people don't ask for help in this area. It is a shame that we live in a culture of immediate gratification and the sexual morals of Babylon. (In my opinion.) However, the answer to...

    ANY Quilters?

    I am working with minitures too. My first one is not completed it is an 8 inch by 10 inch that I hand pieced using paper foundation method. I hand quilted but only "stitched in the ditch" (I guess that means stitching where over areas that I pieced... like along the border and in the outline of...

    Just wanted to say hello.

    I was hardly here at all and I found people who were very nice and warm and welcoming. But I have also found judgemental people who believe that if I don't agree with their ideas I am not a Christian or not a good Christian, or not a good Christian wife. I don't like this part at all. I...

    Marriage and last names...

    I have had people ask me not to leave because of the inappropriate remarks of other people. So, I am staying. Submission is not the topic here but I will say, off topic that I was submissive to my husband by agreeing to his wish to take my last name. Obviously some people here would...

    Marriage and last names...

    Ok I will never return to this site. Opinions need to be expressed in a way that does not show nonchrisitan attitiudes. I found the wrong place. I will never return.

    Any Scrap Book People Here?

    I have just gotten started with Scrapbooking since getting married. I finished one for my mother for Christmas and am working on one of our wedding. I don't sell the stuff by the way. I just thought it would be neat to have a discussion about techniques, organizational information and maybe...

    Marriage and last names...

    Do you know me? Do you know my husband? How do you know that a woman who kept her name will never fully submit to her husband? My husband hates the term submit. He sees us as equals. I see him as the head of the household. I don't go against anything he asks for or wants. I follow his...

    Marriage and last names...

    Well I am new to this site. I am a born again baptised Christian Woman. That said, my husband took my last name when we married. His last name is impossible to pronounce and he honestly hated it. I have a business and get referrals to my business by the strength of my reputation. Keeping my name...
