Several of my ancestors came from Greece back in the middle to late 1800's, and one came from Lebanon back in the late 1800's. My family is very eclectic.

A belated Happy Anniversary to you and your bride!

Living here in Tennessee it's impossible to NOT think of or know about Dolly! She was a special lady, gracious, kind, loving, and a friend to everyone she met. She gave a strong testimony of salvation. I've never met anyone like her before. She was a great philanthropist giving millions of...

So, how long has everyone been married? What is your anniversary date? Vivian and I have been married 42 years... married May 4th, 1984. We started dating December 16th, 1983

Well, it helped that Country music star from the 50s and 60s Bobby Helms (Special Angel, Fraulein, and Jingle Bell Rock fame) was my second cousin, my grandma and her siblings used to play with and sing with Hoagy Carmichael as he was raised in southern Indiana, and that my baby brother is a...

I love Lebanese food! We don't have any of their restaurants near me. We have to drive an hour or so North to Nashville, or about 75 minutes to Chattanooga to get it!

Years ago I was threatened with church discipline for walking away from being ordained. Don't know how they came to the decision that they could discipline me for that. The church that was wanting to ordain me had a very troubled past and had "called me" to pastor. Because of the sin in the...

I really hated to hear that she passed. I met her years ago at a function where she was helping to promote Western stores in Illinois.

The Greek Orthodox Church was strange, much more strange than the RCC. The only thing I liked about the GOC was the Greek food! LoL

No, but I used to go to a Greek Orthodox Church when I was engaged back in the early 80s.

It was because of the abusive nature of two churches in the"Heart of Illinois " that my wife and I stopped asking for a letter. After we had visited other churches in the same area, and having found one we felt we could serve in, we'd ask for a meeting with the pastor. At this meeting we would...

Well, as we say down South...",bless your heart!" You're so negative about nearly everything you post on. I feel sorry for your family... Why in heck would someone need the permission of ANYONE to leave and join another church.?

My wife and I are getting ready for our 43rd wedding anniversary! Most of our friends and family only gave us a year, if that! Well, then this has been the longest "year" of our lives! I wouldn't have it any other way! At any rate, Happy Anniversary to you both!

STONE her....😉 Seriously, though, this woman shouldn't be able to keep her kids. My wife and I worked as foster parents for a couple of years, and we saw firsthand what parents had done to their kids. They'd be better off with someone other than this mother.

It doesn't. It gives guidance for proper dress. You're so hung up on dresses and who wants to use them as their standard of dress for women that, once again you're straining at a gnat. Seems like you spend a LOT of time doing that! And guidance isn't just for women, The standard for most IFB...

My 3 Labrador Retrievers snoring!

Hogwash! If they are saying that you won't get to heaven unless you do these things, THAT makes them a cult. If you don't like what they're preaching, instead of being DIVISIVE, go to another church where the beliefs and standards are more lax.

I'm finding he's not going to be satisfied unless he is arguing...

I don't believe he has to twist anything. Again, you're continuing to strain at a gnat.

The pastor is obligated to preach and teach about modest dress. He can say what he believes those standards should be. Just because he preaches on the issue as he believes it should be doesn't mean he can enforce it 100 percent. It is ultimately up to every individual to decide on what they...
