I am really shocked by this. Does Dr. Dobson know about this?

How do you decide who is 'head of household'???

The best way to collapse a system is to keep piling it on till it flattens under it's own weight..

Remember though ..while you are lookin' out for #1.. don't step in #2

I started to listen to a show on it yesterday and got interrupted. I think he does know though. Here is the link to the radio program (not focus on the family but another Christian show)

I think we should take th word for it rather than invite examples of why.

I have the same reaction. Then again, Dobson never claimed to be a theologian, he's far too interested in the 'relationship' side of things and sounds like he's getting dragged off course by that as well as most of the evangelical church nowadays.

Why do I have doubts about this? I somehow think there is more to this story than is being told.

yeah... I'm with you. But then, we shouldn't have to decide either of them as head of household. Maybe the kids (shudder) will be heads of household. It'd make just as much sense.

Calm down people. This is totally false. Dobson has emphatically refuted it.

I'm not in the least surprised by this. About ten years ago or so I decided to join Focus on The Family and was sent a form to read and sign. As I read along I came to a part that excluded members who follow the Papacy, (can't remember its exact wording, but it was crystal clear what it meant). So much for the 'good' Dr. Dobson. I mentally dumped him into the trash bin along with his membership form.

The Business of Religion proves yet again that it's bottom line is political support, not biblical Chrisitanity.

Really, should we be surpirsed?

But, here is a new idea, if homosexual "marrage" is against current law, what "rights" do lawbreakers have? To a fair and speedy trial.

These folk who think they can redefine what God created (marriage) are only kidding themselves. They can only end up with the pagan leadership that Christ admonished His followers was not of His kingdom. If we love the Lord, we will follow His commands. He created male and female and He created marriage between one of each of these. Period. within that institution, He has established the hierarchy (Ephesians 5) and we cannot shy away from it.

Well, we of course don't enforce cohabitation or other anti-promiscuity laws that are on the books.

However this law will make it impossible for people to deny companies paying for the support of someone's current domestic partner under insurance policies and other legal contracts.
