    Why Does Society Seem to Think That Cougars... Should Be Shot? (Older Woman and Younger Men.)

    You're very welcome. I have lived through so many experiences in my life that I figure I might bring something to the table by sharing with others from my own. Everyone is always free to take them or leave them as they please, but other perspectives often help when thinking life topics...

    Why Does Society Seem to Think That Cougars... Should Be Shot? (Older Woman and Younger Men.)

    Focus on Christ, not on man. Keep your eyes on Him, always.

    Why Does Society Seem to Think That Cougars... Should Be Shot? (Older Woman and Younger Men.)

    I understand the topic at hand is concerning older women and younger men - I was simply disagreeing that there was more acceptance in reverse, it's never been acceptable with those I would call my friends. I pointed out my personal situation because that absolutely does create bias, so I can't...

    Hello! I am n artist. Any artist out there? Claudette

    I'll certainly pray for you. I see nothing wrong with a good sense of humor but at times, depending upon the recipients mood, said humor can sometimes go awry, landing just wrong. Hopefully you can get an opportunity to make things right.

    Why Does Society Seem to Think That Cougars... Should Be Shot? (Older Woman and Younger Men.)

    Her reputation yes, although your belief that it's more acceptable of men than women I do disagree. I think they are seen very similarly... The young woman is accused of gold digging and the older man is ridiculed for dating a woman his daughters age... At least it's that way in the circle I...

    Why Does Society Seem to Think That Cougars... Should Be Shot? (Older Woman and Younger Men.)

    I don't know where you're getting this idea that anyone thinks marriage that involves significant age gaps should be "shot", however it's uncomfortably weird, regardless of the gender of the older person. I had just turned 15 years old when I gave birth to my oldest son. Right now I'm 53 and he...

    Hello! I am n artist. Any artist out there? Claudette

    I enjoy photography and photo manipulation as an art form, however with the necessity for a third major back surgery and much time to heal, and the new development of cataracts which is causing blindness (already completely blind in one eye and the other is trying to catch up) art has simply not...

    Beware of Leftist "Christianity Today"

    I most certainly do see everything as a spiritual battle, a battle of the flesh, and a battle of the world. The world, the flesh, and the devil. We are boxed in, in this life on all sides, but IN Christ we can overcome Don't focus only on one side, when all sides are being attacked...

    Beware of Leftist "Christianity Today"

    We aren't old testament Israel, period. One of the most unjust governments on earth was the Roman government Christ and His disciples and apostles lived under. We can't read the Holy Scripture where Paul talks about young widows and orphans without tears, knowing their Christian husbands and...

    Monkeypox: What Liberal Media is NOT Telling You

    That's because monkey pox actually spread to the west in the LGB community in Europe at an LGB event... Since then, it's moved around the world person to person, but stayed as a result primarily (but not solely) within the LGB community. Had it began at a heterosexual event, it would have...

    Beware of Leftist "Christianity Today"

    Faith without works is indeed dead as the Holy Scripture tells us, but faith is in Christ and works further God's Kingdom and Glorify His name - anything less and you can't call them works. Less right now is much by way of the political We can't make a false idol out of politics and government...

    Beware of Leftist "Christianity Today"

    I believe you completely misunderstand my position here. I'm talking about the political as it is, all the way around, not the rally in specific - aka, this is a Christian forum and so I posted speaking to other fellow Christians about our reactions to injustice, and the political in general.

    Beware of Leftist "Christianity Today"

    If Christians are to be persecuted, let it be for our witness for Christ, and not for petty crimes that can be used to their shame and against that witness. While there are points of political agenda that run directly counter to our faith and our morals, we also have to be careful how we move...

    "Not Physically Attracted Enough" - Vs - "Friendship that Catches Fire"

    I probably see marriage far differently than most. I don't believe in dating per se, and certainly not to "have fun". My husband never so much as held my hand prior to marriage, and the first time he ever even touched me was when we were walking into the courthouse to get our marriage license...

    If God Called You to a Difficult/"Impossible" Marriage Situation, Would You Run or Obey?

    Remember, when you choose a spouse who is complimentary to you, they will have strengths where you have weaknesses and vice versa. It's not just self sacrifice.. When God gave Eve to Adam, God called her a "helpmeet". This is a complimentary relationship - not one sided. Where my husband and I...

    If God Called You to a Difficult/"Impossible" Marriage Situation, Would You Run or Obey?

    Speaking of, I'm disabled and my husband married me knowing that, as well as knowing that as I age my health will only worsen... I made sure he understood what that meant for him. So he walked in eyes wide open - but the disability doesn't stop us from having the perfect marriage. Life has...

    If God Called You to a Difficult/"Impossible" Marriage Situation, Would You Run or Obey?

    I do understand that one may believe themselves to be making a good decision and it later go very south if and when the spouse makes negative changes in their life. Life has a tendency to change us, and our reactions to various life traumas can at times be negative. For instance, I went so...

    If God Called You to a Difficult/"Impossible" Marriage Situation, Would You Run or Obey?

    1.) Hosea, Jeremiah and Ezekiel were all prophets, and God chose bad wives etc for them to illustrate how the church treats their covenant with God, traditionally. Israel, God's people, continued going after false idols and worldly things, forsaking the covenant with God, but God remained...
