Hats off to you all for you all know nothing about Christianity.
Wow. Judgemental, much?
You know next to nothing about the people who posted here. You cannot read their soul or their heart. That is why God alone is judge.
No matter if they were right or wrong in their belief, they were trying to help you, as they saw where you might be hurt.
Just what in my post makes you believe I know nothing about Christianity. I have been a Christian for most of my life and took it quite seriously. Still do.
I was being honest with you, having the same wishes as you had when I was younger. Life has taught me a few things...and I tried to express it in my post. Additionally, the same caveats were expressed by another respondent and it is supported by scripture.
I am glad you had such loving parents, and hope with all my heart you have the same with your future husband. I personally believe that you can, though no easy task in the world today.
Have you noticed that the CSer that posts these type of blogs most often does not respond to the blogs asking why?
I agree with Soc's suggestion that the viewer be informed up front, by placing them in a Blog category called FYI (For Your Information), Comments Disallowed, or something similar. All the blogs have categories.
That way you would know upfront you wont be able to comment and can avoid such blogs if desired.
I noticed Ms Snooks absence, but didn't see the events that may have caused her to leave .
I thought maybe it was for personal reasons in the romance department.
Unfortunate if it was because she felt like she had to get away because of online "peer pressure".
I admire Snooks tenacity in being herself. It's entertaining and she can be very sweet and caring, albeit very straightforward. :)
The day "others" break her down, to no longer be her real self, is a sad day.
Why? Because it is individuality that makes us great.
It is a core part of our FREEDOM and should be celebrated.
Sadly, this happens to children everyday. They get the message from parents, siblings, or school mates that they aren't acceptable as who or what they are.
Instead, they get the message that love or acceptance is conditional.
They carry this idea into their relationships with other people.
There was a song, what was the name of it? Ah, here it is.
Although the companies that offered the connection service (for the mail order brides) promised the men their pick of beautiful, loving women, or they actually met one and traveled to meet her....most of the outcomes were not good and yes, very sad.
What does that song say...sweet dreams are made of these, who am I to disagree, I travel the world and the seven seas, everybody's looking for something.
I don't believe I posted on Itchy's very thoughtful blog, but I was surprised and very concerned along with many others here when I learned the news, immediately saying some prayers for you.
So those who missed you and are glad you are well again may number more than you think (among the silent ones.)
Johnny I can guarantee that the women you meet can sense your feelings about feminism and your obsession with it...you are continually mentioning the topic here on CS so it is clear it is a issue for you.
The way I understand feminism is women being treated with equal worth and dignity as a man...not better, not no longer needing him, but free to fully realize her own potential in a loving partnership.
If men need to win the lottery to find a good woman...don't you know women also are having trouble finding a good man? Forget "feminism" as Lou said it is not the problem. ..if you feel it is can you define exactly why?

Gypsy, you're kidding, right?
