  trying to convince my wife not to confess...

  by wafflesandpancakes in

  1. social
  2. relationships

  during our engagement, we fooled around and touch each other down there.

  it's not a "tap" but definitely is not "stimulation".

  i tried to convince my wife, who, after 5 years of marriage, strangely felt guilty all the sudden, that its not do called porneia.

Well i am fading and shes still in, so thats probably why i'm not guilt ridden."

  Premarital sex--how prevalent?

  "in my old congregation, everyone seems clean. mostly chaste courtship, kingdom hall wedding, blah blah.

  well there are lots of cases of fondling but they were soon forgotton. when my husband and i confessed to sex before marriage, the elders were disgusted. a year later tho, another couple fessed up."

  Which is it, wafflesandpancakes?

  Seven notoriously expensive destinations (and how to go for cheap)

  "Norway

  Almost everything is terribly expensive in Norway, from accommodations to food to tours. A pint of beer, for example, costs $14.10, according to Business Insider. And the Economist's Big Mac Index places Norway's burger at the top of the list-- at a whopping $7.51, or about 46 kroner."

  So sorry to hear this!

  I have had an email tab open on my computer, in composition, addressed to Steve... for the last several months(!). Yes, I am a procrastinator at email, but I really wanted/intended to reply to Steve's open-hearted and welcoming messages to me earlier.

  What a loss to all!

  Millions die in Natural disasters - God is doing nothing. Do I adopt Anthropomorphism to him?

  by KateWild in

  2. beliefs

  i do not think god is a'morphic.

  god is not human, so hence he does not possess human characteristics, to know god better and to understand him better i study science.

  there has been a new discovery of strange signals picked up from black holes and distant supernovae suggest there's more to space-time than einstein believed.

  "This thread seems like what would happen if Ken Ham, Dorothy Murdock and Zercharia Sitchin got drunk in a bar, had sex and managed to have a 3-way baby." - Viviane

  Are you saying - in other words - an Almighty (Ken Ham), Out-of-this-world (Zecharia Sitchen) Earth Mother (Dorothy Murdock) of all f*#&-up? Or what?

  KateWild,

  Thanks for your willingness to explain your lexicon. It helps to see the underpinning of your ruminations.

  If you are open to continue, please explain your understanding of the verb and action "to evolve" - in relation to life/lifeforms.

  At times, you speak of evolution as a hands-off process - set into motion by "God" - but, essentially, left to its own devices undirected. E.g.,

  - "What is God's plan for humankind?"

  I don't think God has one, I think the creator want's [sic] to observe how humans evolve.

  On another occasion, however, you speak of guided evolution - human evolution by direct action of "God", and with purpose:

  "Possibly there is a religious personality type or even a gene, I don't know." -Xant

  Interesting theory indeed, Fink says that it's all psychological. I think God could have evolved some to have the gene and others not to.

  Care to clarify?

  Kate, I have been following this (and other) discussions with interest.

  But, I am continually puzzled by your use of the word "religious": you often reply (to atheists, no less), "I am more religious than you" (emphasis, mine); and you state - above - that A. Einstein was "religious". What do you mean, when you describe yourself (and others) as religious?
