Then you really shouldn’t eat at restaurants. Or ride on a train or a bus. Or take a cab. Or pump gas. Or open a door. I think you get my point.The medical usually say there's a slight chance with cuts, sores, etc
Slight chance means a lot if you are "that slight chance."
Or receive mail. Or touch money. Egads! Lots of germs on money.I don't think the family members should ever leave home.

Still? I remember being “Sprayed For Life” against cooties almost 50 years ago. I hope I’m still safe.I know for a fact that schools are filled to the brim with cootie contamination.

The medical concerns are real, and more important than people realize,***Quick Preface*** Hi everyone, my wife and I are trying to find some answers to a very politically and socially charged question. We have a son that has moved out decided that he is not a Christian, etc... and informed us that he is choosing to live a bi-sexual, non-monogamous, lifestyle. We have 5 other children at home and have talked in depth with them from young ages about sexuality, god's design for sex, etc... This question is not about showing him we disapprove of his lifestyle, or punishing him for his choices, etc...
***Concern*** We are concerned about sexually transmitted diseases and infections. When we read online medical commentary that is talking to parents (or people not living this kind of lifestyle) it all says there is VERY little risk, of another person getting an STD / STI. BUT... When you read medical advice for the person that is having sex with multiple partners, of different genders there is all kinds of medical advice from pretty liberal sources (like planned parenthood) that says STI / STD's can be transmitted via touch with or without open cuts (if someone has touched their genitals, not washed hands well after using the bathroom, etc), via saliva (i.e. on dishes, countertops, etc...), using the same bathtub, laundry, etc... We are concerned about having our son come stay in our home. When he lived here he did not follow our rules (he would sneak pornography into the home etc...) We do not feel that he would follow any guidelines or rules that we ask if he comes to visit.
***Question*** Do we NOT have him come home for holidays and visits? If so, how do we keep our other children safe from STD's / STI's?

Psychologists call this kind of reasoning "all-or-nothing thinking." It's normal for this day and age, but far from optimal for emotional intelligence standards.He's your son ... you can either love him ... or completely remove him from your lives.
We don’t even know if his son WANTS to come home for the holidays. OP could be working himself up for naught.Hopefully, the OP has been wise enough to run far away from us long ere this.

Which is why I try to avoid the use of restaurants and public facilities. The poor young man has admitted to his parents faces that he intends to venture out and pursue recklessness, unhealthy activity.The potential exposure to germs. That’s what the OP is concerned about. Exposing children to his son’s presence is no more dangerous than using a public bathroom, or eating in a restaurant.
Do you venture out of the house at all? Do you have a job?Which is why I try to avoid the use of restaurants and public facilities. The poor young man has admitted to his parents faces that he intends to venture out and pursue recklessness, unhealthy activity.
You don't want to know where those $1 bills have been.Or receive mail. Or touch money. Egads! Lots of germs on money.
You kinda took it there, Bro.I can't believe the turn this thread has taken.
Not to mention all the cocaine on those larger bills.You don't want to know where those $1 bills have been.
I hope my purely spiritual advice doesn't disappoint you. This is often my choice when I perceive a demonic plot is in play. In any case said:So far its some of the best advice we have gotten! Thank you.
