Re: How vengeful are you?

Inwardly I can feel more vengeful than I ever present outwardly.

Re: Another divorce question

There should be zero excuses to defend the adulterer.

Divorce is really sad.

As for taking sides, some situations are not easy to remain "neutral". Why should the adulterer get a place at the next family gathering while their discarded spouse is out in the cold?

Re: Another divorce question

Thinking about this due to several situations I am aware of... If you are a CA and your adult son or daughter lost his/her way and divorced (their spouse), what would your response be?

Re: Poll: Jewelry, Rings, and Bands

I am OK with people wearing jewelry because I am not 100% convinced the NT prohibits it. I think it was a way of saying don't put all your efforts into that and forget modesty and discretion.

However, our household refrains from wearing any at all.

Divorce and lawyers

I was going to post within the other post about lawsuits, but I did not want to derail that thread. Scenario: Godly Christian Woman (hereafter referred to as GCW) who wants her marriage. Man who has left the faith/church has filed for divorce and has a life of "freedom" and other women in ...

Re: Three Questions For You

1. Never ever gave this a thought. 2. I never touch wine (except for the time or two i had it for a communion), but don't care if others do in moderation. As for communion, I am OK with either juice or wine, but an argument that the Bible really meant grape juice seems silly to me. 3. Medicinal MJ d...

Re: Trudy Metzger’s Latest Blog Post

I feel like she should've named names in order to be completely free of the hypocrisy she is saying she is guilty of.

Re: 'anabaptist' Attitude Toward Adoption

Even if adopted children "don't turn out", does that mean we just don't do it? Is the end goal to have a guaranteed positive outcome or is it to love someone who needs it and may not rise as far above their circumstance as we would hope they would? (I have heard the argument mennonites sho...
