I have already stated that I would NEVER counsel someone to get an abortion, nor would I participate by escorting someone to one. Those I jobs I could never do. I could work in a place like Josiah describes, teaching relationship and life skills, parenting, etc. In fact, that's not much...

Because IDay's thread keeps getting derailed with discussion on abortion, I am starting this thread for those who are not interested in discussing the language used around choice, abortion, murder, etc. However, it's a little different. Have at it here - I likely won't participate, but here is a...

I don't know about where you live, but where I live, women are provided with impartial information on fetal development, the process and personal implications of abortion. They are assisted to make the choice, whether that is for or against. Personally, I could never do that job because of my...

I don't support it for me. But for those who are going to choose it whether it's legal or not, they must have access to a sterile environment to reduce any harm that might come to them as a result. You're right - they have been misled by Satan, but what good is it if that person dies as a result...

Do you intend to sound a little snarky here, or is it just my reading of this? Of course I'm not saying reality is nothing more than someone believes it to be. Seriously? You would assume I'm saying that? How sad. Our reality as believers is that God gives life, it is sin to deprive someone of...

Did I say you were wrong? No. I'm not arguing here. I am trying to have a respectful discourse, not be confrontational. Hence why discourse is important. Pro-choice is limited to the mother's choice only. Is there a term that might be more inclusive of those who do not have a voice in the...

Yes, WE listen to God's choice. Let me be clear: I am not pro-abortion. But in saying that, I must be clear that I am not anti-abortion. This is why discussion on language is so necessary. Because as believers, WE place ourselves under God's authority. But we cannot judge the world by Christian...

Currently, the mother's. Of course it does. Who is going to consent to their own death, aside from those who choose suicide? And the legalities - yes, it's murder. I consider it murder as it applies to me and the decisions I make for me and any being inside of me. But for those who do not...

I thoroughly enjoyed my 30s. My son was young, I was fit, free, and adventurous. I was in love for some of it - and I spent some of it in deep grief when he died. I had a job I loved, I felt like I had all the time in the world - meaning I could fit a lot into my days and had the energy to do it...

This is the bottom line. I chose life when I had my son. But I will not force my choice on someone else because I value my own right to choose. I would be a hypocrite if I took away other people's right to choose. This is about the terminology. I am pro-life and chose life for my son...

It's not about abortion either. It's about the terminology surrounding life and abortion.

Imo, the most effective way to spread the message of salvation on an individual level is through influence. If people don't like us, they will not accept our influence. I also believe this on a more global level. As a collective, if we act holier than thou, judgemental, unaccepting, try to...

People eat in bars? I think our bars are different then. We have pubs where people eat, they have music that gets louder as the evening goes on, and no dance floor. Our bars open at 8:00 pm and it's not about food. It's about the drinks and the dance floor - and the mechanical bull. lol. Party...

Ninety and going to the bar? Wow! I figured I'm too old almost pushing 60. lol. I have nothing in common with young people and no one to dance with. I'll be satisfied with walking until other opportunities come up. Loved dancing when I could, though!

I think making crafts all year and selling them at Christmas markets would be fun, but certainly not as a business that would sustain me. I used to make aromatherapy blends for lotions, bath bombs, body butter, body sugars and massage oils. I had my own spa and did massages and foot care. Best...

Josiah, that looks like SO MUCH FUN! I used to go country (western) dancing at least once a week. - two-stepping and line-dancing. Those were such good, fun years, and added variety to my physical routine (stair-stepping and running). I would give almost anything to do that again, but it seems...

This is an interesting thread - walking seems to be a fairly universal go-to. I eat. I eat way too much, and I escape into either tv, freecell, or both. These activities do not require me to be mentally present, since when I'm stressed, my survival brain is working and it's exhausting to use my...

Ephesians 5:21 Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ. Our primary relationship with a spouse is that of brother and sister in Christ. It is our eternal relationship with them. It should define how we treat them. If we are believers, our goal as a Christian is to emulate Christ...

Haha! Yah! Don't mess with Canadian Geese or Canadians. Just because we mind our p's and q's and say "sorry" a lot doesn't mean we're not a force to be reckoned with! *walks away, puffing out chest, pulling back shoulders and a releasing a huff of satisfaction.

Addictions is a complicated matter. For sure, those who misuse substances are self-medicating, but not in the way you suggest. Almost all (more than 98%, iirc) have had a childhood trauma, and that is what they are trying to medicate. They do not need to suffer the consequences of their choices...
