    The Transgender Conversation You Need to Have With Your Family

    Once again, I see the biggest concern being mislabeled!  It's not the truly transgendered that are of most concern. The biggest concern is the fact that anybody can "self-identify" as transgendered.  This leaves a wide-open hole in any protection that separate facilities offer.  It is not OK...

    Wonder why your point gets misunderstood or you misunderstand a forum post?

    I decided long ago that I do not like e-books.  I prefer to hold a book in my hands.  Instinctively, I knew there was a difference.  This  article confirms that there is a difference, but it doesn't/can't yet explain just what that difference is.

    Should a Deacon Be Doctrinally Secure with Church Doctrinal Statement?

    Tim, if the offer of a deacon position comes (and perhaps even if it doesn?t), would you feel comfortable approaching the pastor with your concerns about the doctrinal statement?  If you do, then perhaps some of these issues could be ironed out.  It sounds to me like your church?s doctrinal...

    Pseudonymity, Anonymity, and Accountability Online

    Either I had forgotten about Biker or you were quiet about it.  No matter.  I can see why you did ban him, and I am glad of it.  No more needs to be said.  Spammers don't count in what I posted.  That's a different issue altogether.  I imagine we all appreciate how quickly you get rid of spammers!

    Pseudonymity, Anonymity, and Accountability Online

    I see wisdom in not doing a ?ban? poll.  Sometimes, polls of that nature turn out to be nothing more than popularity contests.  Frankly, I have thought more than once, ?that person should be banned?, but truth be told, I?m not sure I should be able to wield that sort of power here.  My...

    I am no longer wasting time with troublemakers.

    Wow.  This thread is quite a revelation.  I tried to join the old .com but wasn?t ready to pay a fee to participate.  Hence, I could lurk but not participate.  Admittedly, I came late to the game, but I watched as the .com fell apart.  It took me a while, but I did migrate here.  I?m not...

    Adult Coloring Books and Mandalas, A Warning For Christians

    OK, Web.  I went down to the bottom of the quoted post and added a few lines, just to be sure.  And the preview looks right.  Thanks for the tip!

    Are Padded/Pushup Bras Immodest?

    aleshanee, you are right!  Can anyone say "manboobs"?  There are lots of men who would benefit from a padded bra as well.  ;)

    Adult Coloring Books and Mandalas, A Warning For Christians

    Those cats are NOT naked.  They are wearing animal skins, just like God provided to Adam and Eve after the fall.  ;)

    Are Padded/Pushup Bras Immodest?

    Well, some ladies might choose to wear a padded bra to avoid having to wear bandaids.  :-X  No "enhancement" intended.

    MLK on Capitalism, Materialism, Communism and Democracy

    Sword, you are absolutely right. I work for my church.  I recently researched the ?salary rules? because I do payroll for my church.  I wanted to make sure that we are in compliance.  I was shocked to see that even I, as Finance Director, am not exempt from overtime.  Why?  Because I do not...

    Bizarre but serious question

    Could it possibly be that we are being too literal in our interpretation of the word "strangled"?  I don't know, because I neither speak/read the original languages nor am I a great Bible scholar. But I do wonder if "strangled" is a more general term.  Yes, it would  include "death by...

    Be honest.

    Walt, you are right in thinking both my  son and I see major problems with Obamacare.  The truth is, though, that Obamacare is just one example of a long line of bad legislation. You are absolutely right that decisions/philosophies impact people in different ways, both positively and...

    Be honest.

    Walt, I am specifically replying to one line in your post:  I'd also be in favor of denying the vote to people on welfare. Do you espouse that if a person is on any sort/level of welfare they should not be allowed to vote?  I ask, not for myself, but for my son.  He has a full-time job and...

    Polygamy is scriptural!

    In the NT, I was drawn to 1Cor 7.  Paul ?waffles? a bit about what is commandment from God and what is his own opinion, but after he states the benefits of celibacy, he acknowledges the reasons to marry.  Where he mentions marriage, it is always in the singular.  His own/Her own.  I interpret...

    Cat Poop Sermon Illustration

    I?m chiming in very late in this thread, but: For the life of me, I can?t understand why a Christian would accept the advances in medical sciences (i.e. pharmaceuticals, surgical advances) and not accept the advances in psychological sciences, which, in fact, are also medical advances! ...

    Kokomo parents and students whine over being made to pay their lunch tab.

    I wonder if that school might have avoided a bunch of trouble by simply grilling the cheese sandwich and serving it with a few chips and a dill pickle? But?Is there a line?  Should we draw a line?  Where should we draw the line?  Why shouldn?t we draw a line?  The crux of this story is that a...
