Loosely I think. still...it makes sense for people to have preferences but that these preferences would be glorified and indeed that sounds pretty neat.

I was literally just thinking about this yesterday and thought that maybe someone needed to make a "guest thread" for people to state their reasons why they are leaving if they feel so inclined...this brought on by seeing you as a guest (which surprised me). This is starting to feel like a...

I don't consider what you are doing adultery personally but I don't consider it flattering to the covenant of marriage either. It's on a line from my perspective. I haven't ever been married and even though I'd like to give direct counsel, I'm missing something critical. I do STRONGLY suggest...

It's recreationally legal in Michigan and I haven't ever thought about how that would change things. I expect it would still have some effect but it's a lot more difficult to pinpoint abuse than with alcohol. prayer is with you.

Agreed for sure. It's hard for me because it doesn't seem to make a difference for family despite a person's objections. Especially when remaining firm on one's convictions. The problem is I don't think God wants me to be uptight and "pharasaical" about that stuff but neither to embrace it...

I used to do things just to get a reaction out of someone or "just to see what you'd say" and someone called me out on that once and told me it was witchcraft. They were totally serious and while I don't know if it's actually that, it did cause me to think that perhaps it was a bit more serious...

Alas, I was cut off by the edit window but there is a reason why children like egg hunts. It's fun. I presume it's also cute for the parents to observe. But it's hunting/finding itself that is fun and I don't see a "need" to use eggs or give any sort of nod in that direction at all really...

That is pretty strange, all the 2009 threads are wayyyy back for me. Did you see the second post I made? I'm not 100% on Thanksgiving but I like the open-endedness. There are people that use holidays for different purposes and I don't knock them for that. Trunk or treat or I've even seen...

I suppose since it was bumped...you don't see any Christian ideals in Thanksgiving? Personally I don't see anything "wrong" with Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving (in context of scripture) is a great thing to focus on. Besides, the origins aren't as dubious as the ones blending paganism so I have no...

This thread is 13+ years old btw. How did you find it? Usually better to start a new thread.

These kind of hypotheticals are futile. If it's just a matter of immaturity I'd let it go. It "could" point to a deeper heart condition but you could always prod a bit into it. What would you do with the 10M? and then lead things slowly back to "Do the ends justify the means?" "What does...

Anything but money unless you can have a conversation with them and no alarms go off. Food/water is a good way to test the waters and makes sense to be a first resort. Offer to fill up their car (within MPG boundaries to their stated destination +/- 10 miles) if it's gas, don't give cash and...

In boy scouts we were encoraged to do both. Boil is a default...tablets in a pinch.

That's what I surmised but thanks for confirming. I have similar burdens for stuff like this and I'm sure there are a solid handful that you can find on the net... For me personally, that's enough to consider that it might be. I do think it's possible for the enemy to give burdens or perhaps...

No worry, I'll try and pick up the pieces of where we were going tomorrow in a PM. Take care.

It says I may not message you because of your privacy settings...I've messaged people that can't otherwise before. If you can't figure out the priv settings then I'll try and set up an email at some point. I can't even post on your profile. Having not messed with privacy settings, I have no...

I can send messages but your privacy settings won't allow me. maybe try clicking follow on my page or turn your privacy off for a few mins? I don't have a secondary email and though it might be overdue, I find this easier to keep track of.

please reread part a of my post
