Re: Marrying Someone With a Promiscuous Past

How do you reconcile this sort of transactional arrangement with your comments upstream that husbands and wives should be attracted to each other and be in love with each other? I’m not sure how a blind proposal is a “transactional arrangement.” It simply means the couple isn’t expected to already ...

Re: Progressive/Conservative threshold?

So is this the way you are choosing to ignore my rebuttals because of my use of colours ? :P And yes, I am the only hypocrite here. Somebody has to be the resident hypocrite. :lol: I'm a hypocrite, an adulterer, inconsistent, deceptive, living in sin, will not take advice, listening to other spirit...

Re: Progressive/Conservative threshold?

Re: Progressive/Conservative threshold?

I didn't say that you are one with this perspective if you read it carefully. What you said If I am called 'liberal' due to the perspective of another believer that I am not set apart from the world as they think I should be, to me, this is a holier-than-thou attitude and does not fit with the scri...

Re: Progressive/Conservative threshold?

I would prefer I not be judged by other believers as to how sanctified/set apart I am from non-believers and given a label of being liberal' or 'conservative'. If I am called 'liberal' due to the perspective of another believer that I am not set apart from the world as they think I should be, to me...

Re: California Slingshot Shooter Arrested

My friend in school made a three-man slingshot. We could launch a water ballon a good way off, and accurate at that! Wife: My children did that to test a bow a couple days ago. My son had made that was about as tall as my husband, and we now have to figure out how to find the arrow that is in the n...
