Re: Marrying Someone With a Promiscuous Past
If you bring it up beforehand, maybe there’s a risk that the girl or the guy will reject you, but otherwise, you can work through it with a marriage counselor/pastor and I think that openness and honesty will reduce the chance of it ever coming back or otherwise affecting your marriage. If you can'...

Re: Marrying Someone With a Promiscuous Past
Marriage is always a great risk. You really are entrusting your life to another person at a very deep level. I have known various people who married a person with a promiscuous past who have had solid lifelong marriages. The past wasn't denied or hidden, it was repented of, and the person was livin...

Re: Do important people still sign checks?
I assume Trump counts as an important person. He does seem to still sign checks. That is obvious in what I quoted in the OP. Did you understand my question in the OP? Maybe I did not make it clear. I'm wondering how common it is for important people, including Presidents to sign "bundles of ch...

In this case, we have testimony from the following people, all saying that Trump personally approved expenses on this account: Jeffrey McConney, the former controller at the Trump Organization Deborah Tarasoff, the accounts payable supervisor at the Trump Organization Madeleine Westerhout, former Di...

Re: May 11 2024 Freedom of Religion in the U.S.
Chiefs teammates Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce said they disagreed with Butker's comments but have known him for a long time and will judge him based on the relationship they have with him. Head coach Andy Reid said "we all respect each other’s opinions," and he added that Butker is ex...

Re: Poll: Daniel Perry - Should he have been pardoned?
There's a theme here in modern "conservative" media. Pick someone convicted of a real, serious crime. Or who has done something really wrong that is not a crime. Tell everyone they are being unfairly persecuted because they are conservative. Tell everyone that we are all in danger of the s...

Re: Poll: Daniel Perry - Should he have been pardoned?
A pardon does not mean that the person is innocent, or that he didn’t do what he was convicted of, or that the jury got it wrong. In fact, (I think) a pardon is an act of mercy extended, and one of the conditions of a pardon is that the person excepts his conviction and receives a pardon from the c...

Re: Poll: Daniel Perry - Should he have been pardoned?
As a general rule, if you don't have left-wing politics, you'd better fear for your life if you are in a blue city (like Austin) and you find yourself stuck in a violent protest. The guy sends a text message that says "I might go to Dallas to shoot looters." He goes to Dallas. He shoots a...

Re: Proselytization
I think that proselytizing in a way to a way that leads people further from God is very bad, and there is a danger of that happening. What does doing it wrong look like? What does doing it right look like? II think the problem was not about the way they were proselytizing, but what they were prosel...
