    Allowing child molesters in church?

    MW Everything you say makes so much sense to me! If the consequences are bad enough then people won't do the horrible things. Makes a lot of sense to me. Here it seems a child is molested and the person who did it serves no time at all in a cushy little country club jail cell.

    Last night on "Lost"

    Well, what did you think about last night. It seems to be that creepy, black haired guy is going to be a more central player. The one who gave Sawyer the file. Did they really kill of Locke? That makes sense, I think they really painted his character into a corner. So the others killed off the...

    Allowing child molesters in church?

    No, not at all MW. I loved your insight and felt that faithful Servant and I were going round and round. I just felt that even though I could not have said it better myself I should at least back you up with an "Aye! Aye!"

    Allowing child molesters in church?

    Since you were quoting me... I feel like I should at least address your comment, however in further readings I figure that I wouldn't say anything better than Muslimwoman so why beat a dead horse, eh? However... I am not a "god lover" however I respect that many here, are in his many forms...

    Allowing child molesters in church?

    Yes I did engage you in conversation. I never thought any difference. And I never felt that you were intolerant... just hoping to change my mind ;) I engaged you becuase I thought what you were saying was interesting and so completely far from what I was saying and, for me, debates from...

    Allowing child molesters in church?

    I guess I can't say much more than that I will deal with that when I get there. By beliefs don't include but they also don't condemn and persons own belief in Jesus. I can feel compassion and I can hope that I child molester finds their path. Just not around my children or the children that I...

    Allowing child molesters in church?

    I don't understand how my post can have caused you so much upset that was not my intention. It is not flippant that I refer to Christianity as my "thing." I do not agree with those ideas in my life. I have my own code that I stick to strongly. And I don't serve a master and have never...

    Allowing child molesters in church?

    Thank you for clarifying however, I think that you have me wrong. I do not feel that I cannot count on anyone and I do not need to control everything. However, I cannot get away from the responsibilty I have to keep children safe. That is up to me because God does not have or choose to step in...

    Last night on "Lost"

    I saw Matthew Fox on TV last night. My husband was watching one of the late night shows, oh I can't remember the dudes name.. the guy with the half moon face anywho and they were talking about the 16 episodes that they are going to be doing over three years. That is great, however by then six...

    Allowing child molesters in church?

    I still don't understand... I am trying to but it seems so black and white to me. Don't let these people around children and keep them out of harms way. I am really trying to wrap my head arround this...

    Allowing child molesters in church?

    I would like to say that I would forgive, and I could offer forgiveness and I could forgive. But that would never, ever, lead me to forget what someone is capable off. And if that makes me ungodly or horrible in any way, I will feel fine about that knowing that my children are safe. I believe...

    Allowing child molesters in church?

    Faithful I appreciate what you said and I am truly glad that you and your daughter were able to come through these times. But I am confused. Do you mean that you believe that these things were meant to happen to make you a stronger person? I was confused by what you meant becuase I believe...

    What Movies Have You Seen Recently?

    This weekend my husband and I watched The Good Shepard and Blood Diamond. The Good Shepard was good, a little hard to follow at times because it goes back and forth between twenty years and Matt Damon doesn't look very different in either time period. And I don't really want to see Angelina's...

    Allowing child molesters in church?

    I am also of two minds on this. My head tells me that I believe that everyone deserves to be forgiven however... I think that there are consequences for actions. I think to be forgiven by the church and seeking religious guidance is OK. However, I think that should be done privately. From what...

    Let's talk about Indigo Children

    I am not in support of medication except in extreme cases. I would agree that meditation is beneficial to practice at any age. However, not everybody is in support of that. You need to obtain permission to meditate with peoples children because it goes against some strong religious beliefs. "a...
