stripe Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 I heard of people doing some of these things (e.g. not using shampoo) on other message boards. However, some things (like not using toilet paper) I'd known about or were obvious from other life experiences. (Given that 1/5 of the world's population doesn't have access to ANY toilet whatsoever, and I knew a large portion of the world's populations clean themselves with water (from the bidet to lower-tech alternatives), none of that was a surprise. Maybe just that people talk about it so much!) Homeschooling variations, on the other hand, were more eye-opening, since I only know a few homeschoolers in real life, and they rarely discuss these things and tend to used boxed curriculum.

I hadn't heard of the Duggars, Young Earth, or not using toilet paper before this message board. Joined the boards before I pulled dd from school.

Daisy Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 I knew about all those before I started homeschooling but I grew up in a very conservative crowd & hubby is a teacher (thus phonograms, mastery/spiral).

It was in my freezer all that time. lol PS. All my kids were born at home, but the oldest had the longest frozen placenta. The youngest was 3 when she choose a shrub and helped plant it all (actually an old -time hydrangea).

Marylou Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 I had heard of marriage/wife submission but never heard from someone that thought it was based on religion.

I heard about VBS before homeschooling, but I was over 30 years old when I first heard about it. Everyone at the new (big) church I was attending kept talking about VBS and I kept wondering what they were talking about. I'd only ever been to an itty bitty church before moving where I am now.

Tidbits of Learning Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 Just for clarification, Christian submission is based on Christ's example (see Philippians 2) not religion. Okay, to clarify what I meant earlier. The only time I thought of wife/husband submission was on the made for tv movies showing controlling/abusive relationships. I had never heard that the Bible or that God wanted a wife to be submissive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
