Whoa- bikinis and Glamour magazines? Really? If Christians were honest with themselves, they would stop worrying about the size of someone's swimsuit (as well as the few men-who-think-they-are-women in bathrooms) and boycott the places that force children to work 15 hours a day in sweatshops...

So you are concerned about actual transgenders? I hate to break this to you, but Target has always allowed transgenders in the opposite sex restrooms. People are complaining now because, by making this a formal policy, ANY man can come into a restroom and claim to be a female. Transgenders are...

I am more afraid that my daughters will be assaulted in college (Christian or otherwise) than a Target bathroom. If safety is a concern, Family restrooms are an option.  I think we need to place our concerns where they really matter. Sure assaults have happened in public bathrooms, but not to...

What factors were used in ranking the schools? I think I saw somewhere it was surveys and test scores. Does HB educate special needs kids? Do they accept and test kids with Dyslexia and Autism? If not, they really can't be compared to a public school that services a completely different...

The issues most people probably had with Rafael is that he is Pentecostal and most Baptist who have not been around nor heard a hard core Pentecostals naturally are "creeped out". Perhaps it is because I was raised Pentecostal that I don't see the "creep factor". What exactly is it that is so...

I'm still waiting for someone to explain the innuendo. I teach high school and am pretty good at catching these things. But in this case, I am lost...

There is a difference between "applicants" and "qualified applicants". I'm a high school teacher, and I can tell you that we graduate a lot of "college-ready" kids who don't even know how to read (seriously). I have a  student in pre-calculus right now who thinks she is going to college to be a...

I think 8 years old is very young to make a general statement like this. It is possible she is just immature and still a bit egocentric. In this situation, parents should work with her to explain why her friend "ignored" her and teach her the importance of soulwinning. If this child is a "church...

No. Women struggle with lust too. Sadly,  the church (and society as a whole, somewhat) tends to focus on men, declaring that woman only need/want emotional connections. Men are taught that they should fulfill their own desires sexually, and then focus on the emotional needs of their wives. I...

Yes, it should be recognizable. Sadly, as I reflect on this question, I have never seen it in an Independent-Baptist church. In my personal experiences, the most Godly (sanctified) people I know are from nondenominational churches. I mean, there are GOOD people in many denominations, but if an...

I supposed they would have politely asked me to leave the seminar. Or perhaps my pastor would have been given a lecture. In any case, I didn't want to "offend" anyone or start an argument. The paperwork we were given said to wear pantyhose, so I went and bought a very un-sexy pair that made me itch.

Valley Baptist Church -Keizer, Oregon This was a cute and friendly church- I think it has been relocated.

North Valley Baptist Church/ Golden State Baptist College in California (My husband and I went there for a marriage seminar. The "dress code" required that I wear pantyhose. I was not happy).

Northwest Bible Baptist/ Providence Baptist College Elgin, Illinois (interesting church- lots of energy)

Funny Story: That Bethel Baptist church in Spanaway is located just a couple of blocks from my parents' house. While visiting my family one day, I asked my mom about the church because my husband and I were interested in attending a Sunday service (we don't live in Washington). My mom told me...
