Reply to Church learns vet was a sinner, cancels memorial in Current Events JoeUser Forums

The Bible condoned polygamy, slavery, etc. many things that we don't believe are right today. The bible says that if a woman's husband dies and he doesn't have a son, his wife should sleep with all of his brothers until she conceives. That's biblical, at the time it was written that was acceptable, now it is not. I'm going to attempt to respond to this, but we may need to have an entirely different thread. The things that you mentioned were thi

Thank you so much to everyone for your comments. This is exactly why I wrote this, so we could have this discussion. However, after further reflection I do feel that maybe I was a little hasty in my condemnation of the church. Let me share a few more thoughts with you: First of all, as I mentioned, I do believe that the practice of homosexuality is a sin, as is having sex outside of marriage, lying, coveting your neighbors house, goss

Reply to Spinning.... in Health & Medicine JoeUser Forums

So that's what it is! While still in Italy we actually saw adds for gyms with the word "spinning" in the list of activities and wondered what in the world that was. Now I know! Sounds interesting too. Maybe I'll look it up...Personally I prefer water aerobics for the low impact and the fact that I don't feel sweaty.

For those who believe that the Bible is the inspired word of God, there is no doubt that homosexuality is a sin. Link Link

They screen out the 999 average idiots who call every hour who need this sort of hand-holding! They are the GATEKEEPERS, you see, sparing that single big-buck geek the utter indignity of having to talk to them, hahah I realize that, which is why I tried to be so patient. But after I went through the first guy and explained everything we had already done to the second guy I thought surely... <img src="http://images.stardock.com/ju/T_JU/smiles/SadAngry.gif

If she was there, then she could do the steps herself, and make sure they were right... but if I was doing it wrong, how would it help to have me do it wrong again? Bah! Exactly!They have pages and pages of self help stuff on the website which I perused and tried several suggestions, but they kept making me do that stuff over again. That is why I really wanted to take it in somewhere. I had this sneaking suspicion that it was something simple that someon

About a month ago our printer broke. The power light and the color copy button just kept blinking and it wouldn’t let me print or copy. My brother, who is great with computers and works tech support, was here so he tried to give me a hand. He was stumped so he helped me go online to seek support from the HP website. We were pleased to discover that they

Reply to Post-Partum Body Angst in Blogging JoeUser Forums

Hey friend, I'm wearing size 10-14 and I haven't had any kids! Everyone has something they would like to change about their body. I guess we all just need to learn to love ourselves how we are. I can't really saying anything because I'm not feeling too great about myself right now either (see my article about being beautiful...) It is obvious that you have a lot of great friends around to remind you of how wonderful you are. <img src="../images/smiles/

Reply to "I didn't lie, I just didn't tell her the truth"! in Personal Relationships JoeUser Forums

I definitely would rather my husband tell me the truth. And I agree that it would depend on the lie about how mad I would be. However, I do have to say that I am wary of using sex as a manipulative tool. Obviously if I am upset and hurt I'm not really going to be up for sex, but I try to be careful about the attitude behind it.

Reply to FTD, You F'ed Up in Blogging JoeUser Forums

It's pretty much all be said, but I'll say my piece too: When I saw that white basket I said, out loud, "I could buy that at walmart!" Pretty pathetic and absolutely nothing like what he ordered. It is pretty ridiculous to think they had nothing better than that! Good thing they are refunding you the money because that is outrageous. Exciting to think that your man will be coming home soon. I will be praying for both of you.

Reply to If a spouse has a nose job- are they obligated to tell you? in Ethics JoeUser Forums

At first I thought, "It happened before you were together so there is no obligation." But after reading the comments there is probably some obligation, but outside of obligation locamama is right, you would most likely figure it out! I think it would probably also come up in conversation at some point.

Enjoy your trip! Thanks! I did! It got to see cousins that I haven't seen in years. We had an old fashioned church singing and it was awesome. Hope you have/had a good trip, sounds like homecoming might be the best part of it all. The homecoming was great! It was good to see him in person after only thinking about him for a few days. Like something from my imagination becoming real...anyway, he took me
