Thanks Eternal Fire, I appreciate your contribution. I agree with what he had to say regarding married men having relationships with females other than their wives. Regarding his advice for single people, I can see how it would be wise guidelines for some, especially those in their teens or...

Not sure, don't they mostly talk with their hands?

Maybe we will find out how it sounds to be cussed in Italian?

Hi Ms. Mediator, I qualify on all counts (I'm not really a mom, Snackers was an art project). As far as lived experiences, I have done a lot of things that many people my age (40) have never experienced. On the flipside, there's a lot of things I haven't experienced that most people my age...

It was good advice though! Welcome to the forums :).

Thanks, I probably needed to hear that. I have been actively working on the issue for over a year and I do think there has been improvement. But about 6 weeks ago I hurt a guys' feelings and I felt really bad about it. So I guess I was subconsciously looking for a way to kick the growth into...

I thought You was paying for them? 🤔

Lol trust me, I have been very successfully "not going on dates" for the vast majority of my adult life. So I probably don't need encouragement in that. 😅😜 I guess I was hoping for a way to get over the fears and issues without having to actively seek out random guys I might be attracted to...

I take a teaspoon of collagen powder and a teaspoon of unflavored gelatin daily, I find them helpful for hair, skin, and joints. I haven't found anything better, but admittedly I haven't felt the need to look. :giggle:

Ugh, yeah, I have control issues too but I am working on them. It's easier to work on those because I have enough people in my life that I trust and can go through the cognitive behavior steps you mentioned to voluntarily give up control, etc. The commitment issues are harder because there...

^^^That is the truth! And Ibby, remember that it is very important to choose the right people for leadership as the church grows. Churches can be torn apart when the wrong person is given too much authority. Ask The Holy Spirit to give you discernment as you prayerfully consider people for...

Lol chaperoning a church youth retreat, I'm leaving in a few minutes....Y'all pray for me! o_O I appreciate your willingness to sacrifice for the cause, though! :cool:;)

No I think you are good? And I am definitely not offended right now, in case you were wondering? :ROFL: :p

Apparently you have extreme faith in my lack of abilities? :cautious: ;)

Well, if the movie is "Snackersmom's emoji fails," I guess we'd need a lot? :unsure: :LOL:

Is this enough?

Agree...... but it's incredibly hard to gather intel if I can't string a coherent sentence together and pretty much head the opposite direction whenever I see him, right? So I think I need to get that figured out first :LOL:.

Thank you for sharing this, your story made me tear up <3. I spent some time in a church that was pretty adamant that only men could lead (except for the lead pastor and assistant pastor's wives, they could do whatever they wanted). It wasn't terribly oppressive, mostly just annoying.....but it...

Ohhhhhhhh........lol you should have said something sooner Chris, I feel like an idiot! :LOL: I guess I just incorrectly assumed your name was Grace and went from there :rolleyes:. It's nice to meet you, I'm Nichole. I appreciate your civility in contentious discussions and your gift of...

I'm very sorry you went through that Miss Grace. I wondered if that was the case but did not want to pry by asking. I completely support your choice to abstain. I'm glad you made that choice, really. <3 I have never been tempted to get drunk. So I do enjoy a small glass of wine on occasion...
