I will stick with flirting with old ladies at the grocery store. So no thanks. 🤔

I already answered your question, I’m here to get opinions, you’re asking me way too many detailed questions I don’t have answers to.

VERY STRANGE THREAD


You came here, out of the blue, and asked people if they'd be interested in a "christian dating show."

It's natural for us to ask what you're doing.

Are you creating a new show??
Are you the producer?
You wouldn't be here asking these things for no reason... they aren't pure hypotheticals.
It's obvious you're either doing mktg research, or you're trying to find participants for the show.
So which is it?
What exactly are you doing?
If you're here talking about a show, it's natural for us to ask about your relationship to that show.

So, why can't you answer questions?
You can come here and ASK us questions, but you can't ANSWER questions?
If you can't answer questions, it's very suspicious.

1. Are you here looking for participants, or are you just doing marketing research?
2. Are you the producer, mktg staff, or something else?
3. What is your relationship to the show, and what stage is it in?

If you are capable of ASKING questions, then you are capable of ANSWERING questions.
And why are you so defensive about answering questions?

I didn’t know I couldn’t get the general public’s opinion on a show I watched Christian’s participating in and thought it’d be cool if there was a Christian version, if the Lord wills it and gives me permission, I would love to be used in that capacity to connect believers to their potential spouse.

The problem is that while this CAN be a measure of one's spiritual knowledge and involvement, it can also wind up being just a screen for those who are really good at memorizing and regurgitating information.

It tells you nothing about whether or not they apply it.

I was in an Assemblies of God church that would get very excited about pastors and leaders involved in this or that revival or movement. I went to look up these names years later -- and some of the most prominent ones had left their spouses for younger, better-looking members of their ministry teams. The names of pastors or "big names" in the ministry have never meant much to me.

As for memorizing passages and Bible trivia, I was raised in Lutheran schools since my parents got me at 6 months old (I am adopted.) So I was taught to memorize Scripture all my life, but for some reason, my mind remembers key words and phrases, not entire verses with references.

I will often text @Lynx and @cinder, saying, "Hey guys, I'm thinking of a passage about..." and it's not a matter of whether they know it -- it's a matter of whoever has the time to answer first. Along with knowing exactly what I'm talking about, they also often reference other related passages I had overlooked.

I knew a guy in his 20's who was also raised in church, and his Bible was so marked up with notes and study marks that you'd think he was a seminary student. I have no doubt he could pass your tests, and answer far more questions and recite many more passages than your requirements.

But he had an issue with self-control, and was raised in big cities where you could find anything your sinful nature was curious about. Although he was only in his mid-20's, he'd already lost count of his number of sexual partners because he loved going to clubs where you could find anything you wanted, and one of his particular interests was in groups and multiples.

He would try to get away from the scene; be ok for a few months; then relapse back into it. And even if he didn't go back to the clubs, there was always some kind of pornographic source to soothe his addiction.

I quickly found that as much as I wanted to be supportive, I cannot date someone like this. I empathize with anyone struggling with this and I would do my best to be an encouraging friend, but it could go no further than that, or it would start to destroy my mental health with insecurity.

Knowing the Bible and who's preaching it doesn't always have much connection with being able to put it into practice.

This is a crucial element your tests would be missing entirely (though I realize for a show or public entertainment, questions like sexual past would be way too personal and would have to be asked in private.)

it serves as a fine starter, entry level to a future conversation. if i was single, i'm not the type to ask about past romance. sure, now-a-days, have Jesus find the dates for everybody. most likely, that will take great patience from the waiting.

I am a married woman of God with children and I've been to one club my entire life so please refrain from judging me by appearance. You're totally off.

I'm curious about something. In your profile it says not married. Maybe you got married since you joined in 2018? Anyway I'm not judging motives. All the talk just made me look into it.

Go to the options bars on the top left of this page. Click on the second option from the left at the top, then go down to "account details". You click on that and you can change a lot of your profile details.:)

One thing I've learned in my time here is that it's definitely helpful to ask about marital status, no matter what someone's profile says -- it can definitely change.

Lots of people here who heartbreakingly got divorces while on the site (sometimes not their decision or fault.)

It's also very common for CC'ers who are dating someone, especially someone else on this site, to change their status to "Married" and then "Not Married" again if the relationship doesn't work out.

I've seen this many, many times over the years.

Its also common for some people who aren't looking (or don't think they are) to have their status listed as "Married" just so that no one will try to approach them in a romantic sense.
