Oh gawd, can you imagine the kind of people who use the hook-up, bootycall kind of sites? yikes....
They are. I met my husband the old fashioned way, through a friend. My Uncle, as I recounted above, met his second wife on-line. My cousin married the girl next door, (ok two blocks down, turn left, third house on the right. Close enough!)
Internet dating is just an extension of the old "dating by mail" that was popular 100 years ago.
You have no idea about their divorce circumstances, but I'm sure they admire your piety.
Plus the first time I correct that child for something he/she does wrong the child will run to the biological parent and call me “the wicked stepmother” Sorry everyone I don’t need this crap. I don’t want some divorced man or his extra baggage. Widowers are okay however. Even ones with children, because there is no biological mother to run to and make me the wicked stepmother.
LOL, looks like you need no help.
So sorry. God bless you in your sorrow.
I know only 1 person who uses ChristianMingle and she is separated from her husband. I think she just uses it for entertainment.
My condolences to you on your loss.
I’m so sorry for your loss! Prayers, to you, for comfort and rest during this period in your life.
“but I’m sure they admire your piety.”
Well I’d rather be an old maid than an old divorcee.
Sorrow?
Hey of all the 100 things I did wrong in my youth, getting in a bad marriage so that I ended up divorced (or worse) was not one of them!!
I don't blanket judge all cases.
I’m with you - it’s the people and their hearts, not the tool. God can take the absolute worst thing and squeeze massive amounts of good from it. Condemning Christian Mingle because some folks will be predators is like condemning guns because some folks will be killers.
“There’s valid reasons - Affairs, drugs, abuse, criminal behavior
There’s no say in the matter. One wants out. The other is religious and doesn’t believe in it.
I don’t blanket judge all cases.”
Don’t blanket judge? Dude come on over 80% of these people were divorced! Some more than once. The idea of Margaret Sanger/Kinsey was to break down the nuclear family and guess what? It has happened in the protestant faith which allowed this evil in their mists. It was shocking to see this to me but to them it is nothing. Then they have the gall to tell me they are “on fire for Jesus”? Oh please, spare me. They then turn around and then say they are for homosexual marriage and agree with using birth control to limit the number of children they will produce in a marriage.
Is it any wonder they are divorced?
Personally, I think the four things I listed are the only valid reasons for a divorce, and in the case of drugs, if the person refuses to get help and/or puts the kids in danger. I've seen many cases where those actions caused the divorce. Drugs and/or adultery were the most common of those four. As far as “on fire for Jesus” goes, actions always speak louder than words. Anyone can say anything. Look at Joe Biden.
I quite agree about the “actions speak louder than words” and yes they can say what they think others want to hear..
But look at Joe Biteme? Only Joe? How about every politician out there. “how do you know when a politician is lying? His/her lips are moving”.
