Personal/Moral dilemma (CC)
Heather in Neverland replied to momto2Cs's topic in General Education Discussion Board
I watched the same movie as a kid at church! I was traumatized. That is the kind of church I grew up in. No makeup, no jewelry, no shorts or pants for females, no "mixed swimming", no movie theaters, no dancing, no bowling... The list goes on and on. I clearly remember there being a pamphlet given to members called "The 29 Prominent Teachings" which has all these things listed and was essentially 29 ways in which to send yourself straight to hell. They also believed you were not truly saved unless you spoke in tongues and that our denomination were the only TRUE Christians. I remember them saying things like our denomination would be sitting at the table of the "wedding dinner" with Christ and all other Christians would just be guests. Except for Catholics, of course. We weren't allowed to consort with them. :glare: It is a miracle I am still a Christian today after being raised in that whack job church. . -
Your best "pass the bean dips" please?

I have a few obnoxious relatives that bugged us a lot about homeschooling when we first started. The response that finally shut them up? "Let's play a game called Mind Your Own Business. You can go first!" -

Congrats!!!!!! -
I know what you mean. Sometimes I think it is pointless to even discuss controversial topics because very rarely does anyone ever change their opinion on something. I read a blog post about this that I find interesting: http://youarenotsosmart.com/2011/06/10/the-backfire-effect/ Heather (who has opinions on things but doesn't hate anyone)

My ds had it done and it didn't work. Then he had his adenoids and tonsils out. Still didn't work. The only thing that has worked is moving to a VERY humid country. :D He has not had a nosebleed since we moved there 3 years ago. We have been back in Michigan for 6 weeks and he has had 3 nosebleeds already! :glare:

Keeping the Sabbath?
Heather in Neverland replied to Heather in Neverland's topic in General Education Discussion Board
Oh that makes sense. Thanks! -
Keeping the Sabbath?
Heather in Neverland replied to Heather in Neverland's topic in General Education Discussion Board
Wow! This thread is a blast from the past! It was really nice to read through it again. Your answer is fascinating. I worked in a heavily Jewish area many years ago and most of them followed the same sabbath rules except I have never heard of the tying knots one. Can you give the reason behind it? Oh, and the watering flowers one. thanks! . -
Wow, I just woke up and there are all of these great ideas!! It gives me hope that we can find a great place when we leave here. We need to plan in advance which is why we are asking now. That way we can possibly visit some of these places on our summer trips to the U.S. and scope out the job scene. Part of me really wants to stay abroad and maybe try a new country but it is hard to imagine sending our ds to college on the other side of the world. Different state? Sure. Different hemisphere? That's a little more dicey. But that is a different thread... Thanks ladies!

I realize you said more than that but that is the only part I felt I needed to clarify. I have nothing against liberals; I would just like to have like-minded people in my neighborhood. I am sure someone who is socially quite liberal would not choose to live in a very conservative area if they could avoid it. It is hard enough being a "different" kind of family as it is. Having others that believe the way we do in our town would be a nice perk. .

Do you want more children?
