How does a Christian man meet a woman how shares his values and wants a lifetime commitment? I'm a Christian Conservative. I believe everything in the Bible is true. I also believe that only through Jesus's death and resurection is heaven possible. I believe God met sex only for marriage and except under certain circumstances (adultery, domestic violence, etc.), divorce should never be an option. Do you have an recommendation concerning where I can a woman with my values, books on Christian dating, Christian dating websites, etc. Any help would be appreciated.
Anyone get more replies on a non-christian dating website than a christian dating website? It just seems weird that when I post my profile with my pic saying that I'm a born again chrisitan on both websites that I dont get any replies on a christian website when I get hundreds of replies on a non-christian dating website. There was one christian dating website that I tried called ChristianCafe. I got zero replies when I got hundreds of replies from a non-christian dating website.
have any of you ladies or men been scam from dating websites? just want to let you ladies know that this a sman using a picture of a caucasian man and sometimes a child on dating websites. He is in nigeiria, and comes up with stories of not been able to get back to the usa. His aim from his stories is to get you into believing that he is so happy in finding the love of his life and then he worm is way to ask for money mostly US dollars. He is using one of several email address hitchens_000@yahoo.com. And several telephone numbers. He also go by the name of Roberto, Richard Bradley, Josh and states that he was born in the UK and lives in OHIO. Ladies beware of this African man with a phony american accent. His aim is to make you feel that he is so interested in meeting you and he so wants to get married. This is all a scam. If you don't believe me check the christian cafe and see him as hitchen185, check other dating sites and you would see him having different names. I just want to help someone who is searching for love.
Christian advice websites? Hey, y'all? What are some sites or Christian forum-oriented sites with great articles that focus on teenage girls dating older men (ie., a Christian 16 yr old girl dating a 20 year old young man)? I tried to go to two forum websites, and they didn't have any threads on this topic. It's a topic I'm researching. True but I want to do further research and reading as a WRITER. Christian article reading that is. Worst-case scenarios and what not.

Good place to meet a christian girl ......? who isn't square??? This may sound bad, but I am a christian but I enjoy all that life has to offer...I hate it when people tell me to go to church to meet a nice girl because they always turn out to be weirdos....i mean really weird!!! I have been looking at some websites and am finding that most girls on dating websites are skeptical of guys...so I am back to bars and clubs where I dont think I am gonna find the kind of girl I would click with...any suggestions out there??
As a CHRISTian Nation, why should we allow Homosexuals to destroy the Sanctity of Marriage? Open marriages, couple swapping, domestic abuse and 48 hr marriages should be for straight people ONLY--it's so sacred! Do you give thanks to God for adding "Married but looking" as an option on dating websites and singles pages?
How can I find a Christian Girlfriend? As a Christian I want to find someone who shares my beliefs and outlooks on life. Even though I go to church and try to meet other Christians there doesn't seem to be other Christian girls my age (25) available. It's like they don't exist! I've tried websites and even looking for dating events where Christians meet-up to go out but with no luck. If anyone can offer advice on where to meet Christian girls my age I'd really appreciate it.
christian dior perfume? there's this Christian Dior perfume in my house, and it's called Dioressence. I've looked it up everywhere online, and I can't find its exact date when it was sold in stores. (like the websites said either 1969,1971,etc.) It's pretty old, and the box has never been opened. it says "Vaporisateur EAU DE TOILETTE 50ml - 1.7 US. FL. 0Z" (just for extra info) And do you think the perfume would still have its original scent since it was made a long time (supposedly in 60s-70s?)
Gays..... oversensitive? Isn't it enough that you're on the cusp of social acceptance, that you file frivolous lawsuits against dating websites, when they clearly state that their method of matching is scientifically based on a psychological patterns between MEN AND WOMEN? The founder of eHarmony is an acknowledged fundamental Christian, of which makes no secret about it's feelings on homosexuality. Why not go after Jdate.com next because it doesn't cater to homosexual muslims?
Christians and websites? Could any song on a website that a dating or engaged couple makes ever consitute a marriage in God's eyes? Christian view... This would be if they have the song playing or written down...
Religion question. Christian or Jewish? I was raised southern baptist and never doubted my religion until I was old enough to realize that there are thousands of different religions. My uncle recently started dating this girl who is jewish, so I was interested in that religion and started looking things up. So, now I am stuck between those two religions because they both sound true. Im not sure what I am asking, but I would like to hear other peoples advice, and maybe help finding some good websites. Thanks!!!!
Belief in just only one god is NOT a few thousand years old. Agree? There is evidence out there, it's just that people have not made that big of a deal out of it. Atheists love to believe that Christianity isn't true because there is no evidence for a monotheistic religion that is older than a few thousand years old when in reality there has been at least one monotheistic religion for over 100,000 years. This dates back to the beginning of humans. The evidence is subtle, but it has already been addressed. There are plenty of good Christian websites that talk about this. Monotheism was NOT an invention that is only a few thousand years old. Agree?

Is there a website where you could corespond with others? I am a professional christian lady in my 3o's. I want to corespond with people and make new friends, offer advice . I would like to correspond with teenagers( about high school, dating, proms, parties,graduation, issues) Some young people wish they had like a "big sister" to talk with. I would also like to corespond with adults and the elderly who might be lonely. Any interesting websites/suggestions?
Religion v.s. Relationship? So me and this guy both REALLY like each other, but he won't date me because he's /really/ religious and says and that he cares enough about me to get married, but that he can't end up marrying someone who's not a Christian. Is there anything I can do to convince him? Or even does anyone know any good websites on perhaps becoming a Christian? I would do anything for this guy. I guess I didn't say enough about my current faith in God... I'm *technically* a Christian, but my family dosen't really follow/support spirituality. So... It's more me finding my way into Christianity, not just suddenly becoming a Christian and pretending to believe. And also, some made remarks about him not accepting me? He does, well perhaps not entierly at that, but it's his religion that won't entierly let him accept me.

Is there still religious freedom in Iran? I have heard through the media that there is no religious freedom in Iran. That the country is strictly Islam, But I found this on one of the country's websites: http://www.iranchamber.com/religions/articles/religion_in_iran.php "Today, Armenian, Assyrian and other Christians, as well as Jews and Zoroastrians enjoy complete religious freedom in Iran although they are expected to observe Islamic codes of public conduct. They are also represented at the Majlis (parliament). Furthermore, many members of these religions fought side-by-side Muslim Iranians in the Constitutional Uprising of the late 19th century, which finally resulted in the Constitution of 1906." And then there were pictures of Christian Churches in Iran, of which are just beautiful.. http://www.iranchamber.com/index/art_culture.php So anyhow, I was just wondering, Is the information on the website accurate (up to date) and is their truly religious freedom in Iran. BTW... I do understand that in public one must follow the Islamic code, as far as dress and behavior..

Parenting Without Punishing? Chapter 2 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Letter to an Expectant Father [Summer, 1986] Dear Patrick : Your excitement in anticipation of the birth of your first child - I heard it in your voice yesterday as we talked on the phone - took me right back 22 years when I, too, was about to become a father. So I admonished you, as I do all new parents, "Don't ever punish that child!" When I said that our two sons had been brought up successfully without punishment of any kind, you asked me to write about it for your magazine [John Holt's "Growing Without Schooling"] Just As I was thinking, as you are now, what kind of parent I was going to be, and agonizing over the "duty" of "correcting behavior", something happened that changed my life: a copy of A. S. Neill's incredible book, SUMMERHILL - A Radical Approach to Childrearing, fell into my hands. Neill taught me how extraordinary the possibilities when we really respect children, and place our trust in them and the democratic process. As a victim of severe child abuse at the hands of a brutal "guardian" in a freelance "foster home" (this was in the back hills of Vermont in the 30s), I could see, at first, few alternatives to "a good slap" or "a sound thrashing", when "needed". I had known no other. Abandoned by my mother at age four and by my father at age seven, I was "farmed out" to work for my keep. For five years I labored, serving as a front for a criminal abortion racket. I was beaten regularly and severely with a hardwood stick - for the "sin" of being a child. My indoctrination in the hellfire and brimstone of Christian fundamentalism forced the belief that, having been born in sin, I deserved the frequent beatings, the shaming and humiliation. Endure it without complaint, and my reward will be in heaven. Expect no happiness in this life. In college courses I discovered there were other ways of controlling a child's behavior. Yet, as a philosophy student, I was rankled by the question: Control for what purpose? And for whose? Later, as a public school teacher, I never used punishment, never sent a pupil to the principal, and yet had no problem with discipline. Nonetheless, as I approached fatherhood I assumed I would have to spank, determined as I was to be a "good father". (Such is the strength of the roles society assigns us.) But I couldn't accept that. Is there no better way of treating children? I asked. So I researched the psychology literature, and could find not one alternative to the behaviorists' reward and punishment, carrot-and-stick, conditioning. Any suggested alternatives to assault amounted to subterfuge, trickery, or outright lies. All seemed manipulative, exploiting advantages any adult has over the innocent and trusting. To me, those were all unethical, disrespectful, demeaning, and certainly harmful. If we can't make ourselves worthy of the child's trust, I asked, then who are we? If a child's faith in our word and our protection is not sacred, what is? Then I learned that almost all Americans, to some degree, have a deep emotional investment in dominating and exploiting children to meet their own emotional needs. And the reason they do, though not consciously, is to suppress the horrible memory of their own victimization as children. My own gulag-type experience, I saw, was no different in kind from 95% of all other children - only in degree. Nearly all children are either attacked with sticks, switches, paddles, and other weapons, as I was, or they were slapped, spanked, shaken, pinched punched, and kicked. All were yelled at and suffered humiliation and indignities and told it was not only good for them, it was by Biblical command. Some children today endure "only" face slaps, spankings, "go to your rooms" and the now-popular "time-outs". Others, like me, barely escape with their lives. The list of those who don't survive it grows with every edition of the news. Despite the headlines, our ghastly tradition of physical and emotional violence against children continues. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Little children love the world. That is why they are so good at learning about it. For it is love, not tricks and techniques of thought, that lies at the heart of all true learning. Can we bring ourselves to let children learn and grow through that love? John Holt -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A few years later, my college students, future teachers and parents, vehemently defended their "right", their DUTY, to force children, "in any way necessary", to submit to authority. Otherwise, they feared, the inmates would take over the home, the classroom, and/or the asylum. My sons, they argued, must be exceptional, or over-conditioned "robots". Or that I had exceptional patience, (a charge which invariably provoked laughter). Nothing would convince them that punishment was not necessary - until I brought my pre-school boys and their mother into the classroom. Henry and Russell, by their naturalness and authenticity, brought all argument to an end. Just by being genuine, they charmed their pants off. To go back: I began with vowing NEVER to use physical punishment. And for good reason: I could not risk releasing on children the rage within me, internalized by my earlier beatings. Then I became intrigued by the philosophical question: How can ANY punishment of children be justified - ethically or otherwise? I searched the literature for months - and could find no valid justification. The pro-punishment argument came down to this: The child must submit to our will, because children are born bad, and we must shape them to suit us and society. That, clearly, would not stand as valid on any grounds. When the babies came I realized I knew nothing. So I looked to them to teach me who they were, how they learn, and how they should be treated. Then my real education concerning childrearing began, for my sons taught me the most important things I know. My FIRST surprise came in discovering how EASY it is to raise children if they are not "taught lessons". I had imagined I would have to develop patience - of which I had not an ounce. To my astonishment, it didn't require any. The alternatives to punishment now seem obvious to me, and so much fun! The SECOND surprise was how well behaved, how spontaneous and enjoyable and lovable children can be when not living under the threat of violence or humiliation or "correction". And how they naturally search out what they need to learn - without lessons, without teaching or preaching or any sort of coercion. No "preparing for life," no "bending the twig," no shaping and forming. No authoritarian control. The THIRD big surprise was how HAPPY our family was in contrast to the suppression, the competitiveness, and the underlying resentment so evident in other homes, those heavy vibes that kill spontaneity and warmth. On witnessing the callousness and incivility dealt children in stores, homes and the street, my sons would whisper in shock and horror, "Daddy, why is that lady hitting that boy?" The FOURTH surprise to me was how quickly and eagerly they assumed the responsibility for their own behavior, how mature they were compared to others their ages. This quality is what impressed my students most. And the FIFTH and biggest surprise was how a simple change in my view and thinking - that is, dismissing as an option all punishment - brought about a positive and remarkable change in me as a person. Unburdened of father-authority-punisher self-concept, I was rapidly becoming a more understanding, a more compassionate, a more loving person. My colleagues and friends began commenting on it; I was a lot more enjoyable to be around, they said, - what happened? I felt better about myself, more self-accepting and approving, therefore I developed more tolerance, more compassion. I had more self-respect, confident now that I was not the kind of person who would exploit or harm any child. And I was greatly unburdened of the internal conflict between loving my children on the one hand, and inflicting pain in the name of "parental duty" on the other. I am now convinced that letting go of the punitive mentality can rapidly make any person happier, more self-accepting, and more understanding, even if they have no children of their own. Comes the inevitable question: So what did you DO instead of punishing, instead of spanking, say, for "disobeying" by running into the road? (Why is this always the example? It is the universal justification for walloping children - "for their own good".) Their mother and I recognized that punishing does not teach safety, it teaches fear. And all punishment forces the burden - sometimes life or death - squarely on the child, conveniently allowing the parent to avoid responsibility for the safety of the child. (I TOLD him not to run into the road!") The boys and I decided to install an inexpensive three-foot high wire fence (see PWP issue No. 1) around the front yard where they could play in safety, in view and within earshot of the kitchen. During the times we walked near traffic, we held their hands, with no fear-talk about getting run over, killed, so forth. Instead of the bedtime tantrums we saw in other homes, we developed an evening routine of clean-up, sitting on laps and story reading plus music listening. In our weekly family meetings, bedtime was negotiated, arrived at by consensus. With shared authority, there was no problem. The clock, not the parents, announced time for bed. No tears, no hassle. In family meetings, everything was fair game for questioning, for discussion and negotiation - with one exception: Health and Safety. Here we, as parents, reserved dictatorial control. The message was clear and firm: "We are responsible for your growing up safely and in good health. It is our job to protect you, even from yourself if necessary, and we intend to do a good job of it. But unless we can justify a given instance as a matter of either health or safety, no one has a right to interfere with your chosen activities." -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- European Countries That Forbid Any Form of Physical Punishment of Children: Sweden, Finland, Denmark, Norway, Austria, Cyprus, Croatia, Latvia, Germany, Italy -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The boys readily accepted that - indeed they were delighted with limits that made sense, combined with a general freedom to follow their interests. We sometimes explained dangers, but without instilling fear. We rarely announced rules to obey. What few rules there were came out of family meeting decisions. The boys were then able to enjoy their childhood, with its serious business of play, and know the security of parental care. The alternative to punishment is not neglect, as so many parents assume - and even seem to wish. It is not "permissiveness", the claim of those who know only the extremes of punishment and neglect. The alternative to punishment is accepting the RESPONSIBILITY of providing a growing-up environment free from fear, free from hazards, and free from domination, and not forcing it on the children with punishment. Don't forget to send me a birth announcement. If you ever think it "necessary" to inflict punishment in any form on your child, give me a call first. - Norm UP-DATE: Henry and Russell, now ages 35 and 36, live happy and fulfilling lives with their respective successful careers and families. Both earned college degrees, neither went to jail despite all the dire warnings from friends, colleagues and students that they would tear out the drapes, dump paint in my typewriter, and set fire to the cat. P.S.: Henry and his wife have made me a grandfather. To all of us, the idea of punishing little Charlotte is unthinkable. Why We Can't Wait I AM PUBLISHING THESE CHAPTERS BECAUSE we need to get serious about making changes in how children are viewed and treated. We cannot wait yet another generation to reduce the hatred and violence in our fast-deteriorating society, and because the price of punishment is too high in human suffering. For most of my life there was at least the excuse that we didn't know any better. But serious large-scale research on the long-term effects of punishment began in the 1940s, and during the past 25 years overwhelming evidence has been amassed showing the counter-productive nature of punishment. The cost in human suffering is beyond calculation, the cost to taxpayers amounts to billions of dollars annually in medical care and therapy responses to spouse-bashing, mental illness, large-scale clinical depression, plus a justice system to deal with nearly every adolescent criminal offense from date-rape to murder. America's War On Children has gone on far too long. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PUNISHMENT DIMINISHES OR DESTROYS: 1. the child's love for you 2. self-esteem, self-respect, self-acceptance - the child's, and yours 3. the child's respect for you 4. the child's capacity to live a healthy life with minimum stress and internal conflicts 5. the ability to accept responsibility 6. the capacity to love another person, or themselves 7. the right to a happy, loving, home, safe from fear 8. the child's creative drive, learning - , and later, earning - power 9. the chances of growing up to be non-violent parents and spouses 10 their parents' chances of evolving into happy, stress-free human beings -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NETWORK NEWS & NOTICES Websites worth visiting: www.nospank.net is Jordan Riak's organization, PTAVE (Parents And Teachers Against Violence in Education). His booklet, "Plain Talk About Spanking" has been read by thousands nation-wide. His non-profit and the one below are vital supporters in our local effort during April. The Annual Spank-Out Day - April 30 - is sponsored by EPOCH-USA's Center For Effective Discipline (www.stophitting.org). -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Continuing Narrative: The Strange Case of the Children Who Were Not Punished Crayons on the walls. The lovely old farmhouse we lived in had beautiful oak frames around each door. Henry and Russell had just begun drawing on them when I happened by. "Orange door frames?" I asked. "That won't do." But how can we draw on the walls with our crayons? Henry wanted to know. "Well let's figure out how that can be possible," I said. The discussion ranged from coloring books, to large sheets of newspaper on the dining room table, to maybe bidding on an easel at an auction, if there was an auction with one and no one else bid on it. But the discussion always returned to the desire to draw "standing up" and drawing large-scale. Admittedly the wall was perfect for that. "How about if the wall has the paper on it?" someone - I think it was I - said. "We don't have paper big enough", came the objection. "Then where can we find big-enough paper?" Further talk brought us to newspapers again, but it was already "drawn on" - with ink. What about newsprint, newspapers before it was covered with ink? Where can we find some? The newspaper printing plant! A quick search in the phone book, and fast phone call gave us the information we needed: Yes, they had "end rolls" of newsprint they'd give us cheap. A trip to the plant and $3 got us all the paper we'd ever need. We began on one corner of the dining room, exactly the place they had begun drawing on the woodwork, and proceeded, masking-taping our way, all around the room, skipping the doorways, of course. Then the entire family joined the "crayon party". After a week or so we tired of looking at it, tore it down, put up fresh paper, and did it again. What a great time we had! That went on for several days. When it was over, it was over. They never again wrote or drew on the walls, or even mentioned the idea. http://www.nopunish.net/pwp-ch2.htm
