Probably the one that did me most damage was the "headship" thing...Men can boss their wives around (or any female, actually), and it's perfectly ok.
But I also really hated the beards and long hair thing. I cried when Steven cut his hair and shaved his beard. I was still "opposed" then. Fortunately, he has hair halfway down his back again and a beard that looks like he could be in ZZ Top (actually, I'd prefer it if he'd trim it)

LW - I was wondering I actually went back and re-read my post to make sure I hadn't left out the "that" by accident. No biggie
now we know why our great grandfathers when introduced to a woman, would kiss her hand.
they weren't being polite, they were "measuring her up" .
the next time you're nibbling your lover's fingers, or scoping hands for wedding bands, you might want to pay more attention to length.. any women here, want to "measure in"?
Well, my index finger is shorter than my ring finger, and I've never engaged in casual sex...well, except with my husband...we do have casual sex rather frequently...

It would be nice, if the people who normally went to that church decided they didn't want any part of it anymore, and stayed home on Sunday. Don't think it's going to happen, but it'd be nice.
Assuming the whole story of Christianity is true...everybody is equally guilty in Jesus' death. He died for all our sins, remember?
after hearing the pro's and con's about the movie, i went to see it this afternoon.
i know we all have differing views, but i'm interested in knowing what impression it left you.
for me, i went in with a critical eye and i was emotionally detached from the movie.
I don't want to offend devout Christians, but I've been wondering something, honestly...
The Romans crucified thousands of people. Some of them were innocent.
Millions of innocent people have been brutally tortured (some of them for years) and murdered in the history of the world. Yet, somehow, many Christians seem to think Jesus' suffering was the worst of any human being who ever lived. (I suppose because of the seperation from God thing).
But I've been wondering about that. What do y'all think?
i always remember in the bible that god's preferred choice of transportation was a chariot.
why would god have a chariot though, instead of a nice new porsche 911 or a ferarri or something like that?
he'd sure be noticed more =d

i'm newly married, but i think there's a problem.
i'm just going to go over the morning and say that this is a typical day.
Most of the things you describe here are in the category of ?small? things. They are not worth getting a divorce over.
You know, I didn't mention it before, but I think it's worth mentioning that I do at least 95% of the cooking and cleaning in our house. Always have. Do I like it? Of course not. Is it worth getting a divorce over? Not yet.
We both have assistantships and are in grad school, yet I'm the one that takes care of the house. Do I complain alot about it? Not anymore.I did for years. I used to get so mad about it. Didn't do me a damed bit of good. He still didn't help. So now I spend a few hours a week doing stuff I don't like to do. It's not fair. Neither is a lot of other stuff.
Lots of women, maybe most, do most or all of the housework, even when they work outside the home. I know women who work, go to school, and still do all the housework and cooking and childcare.
So, when it comes to housework, and who does it, life just isn't fair most of the time. Lots of women have accepted this. I suppose we might be a little less than sympathetic if a guy complains that he has to do it all. Not fair, but that's the way it is.

hop in the shower and when I was getting out....no towel!
You could have just walked naked through the house, dripping wet...while her friends were over...and then said, with a shocked look on your face, "But honey, there were no towels! I can't help it!"
But don't listen to me I was only married for 15 years!
I don't get it, if what she said didn't apply to you, why did it irritate you?

Well, asleif_dufansdottir said it a little more...umm...harshly perhaps than I did, but the spirit of what she has to say rings very true. It's good advice, Tuesday, if you can take it.
I can be a very kind, understanding, and gentle woman. Really. Honest.
I'm just a big fan of getting people's attention by telling them stuff straight. I can sugar-coat things and use the velvet covered baseball bat when necessary, but it takes longer. I consider it kind of a compliment to think that someone can hear something that might make them a bit uncomfortable, but they can deal with it like a grownup.
It kinda irritates me that he tells us all this stuff that makes her sound spoiled, bitchy and lazy, and then later, "Oh, by the way, miscarriage, hurt at work, lawsuit..." ...not that I think he did it on purpose, but it just points out how he's got a bit of tunnel vision on the situation (normal, we all do it).
i've been using the walk away, avoid elder contact play for a couple of months now.
my boss (an ms in a different cong.
) leaves me a message saying that the elders from my hall called him at his meeting last night.
Tell your boss you've been gravely stumbled by them contacting him and (by implication) threatening your employment. Tell him that upset you so much, you refuse to talk to them. Then tell him you're consulting a labor attorney. He'll get the message that if he gives you crap about your religious affiliation as an employer he's liable.
Then do it!
