I was one of those who didn’t tell until after marriage. Stupid choice that plagued our marriage for years and anyone who did that should be put out of the church if they lack repentance. It’s a deep betrayal of what should be a lasting deep trusting relationship. Being upfront and honest at the beg...

The non-sexual contact of HPV is very debated and is poorly researched, one study followed women who by self report were virgins. Following activity, the highest contributing factor was multiple partners which of course makes perfect sense. https://www.webofscience.com/wos/woscc/full-record/WOS:0001...

Wife: I actually find this hilarious, because our 12-year-old does not want their tetanus booster, and I suppose we are taking away the right not to be poked this summer. they take it like a champ though.

Refusing a potentially lifesaving vaccine is sin. I am calling it out. It is no different than failing to treat any other illness you come across. It is doing harm. Maybe you did not hear this before your first clinical rotation: "Above all, do no harm" Refusing to treat for a future illn...

To know to do good, and than fail do it is sin. Isa 5:20  Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!
