Good one!
LOL! A very succinct explanation.
The money-quote...a lesson for all of us:
“The revelation came that I was engaging in idolatry, expecting wholeness and fulfillment from something and someone that wasn’t designed to give it to me, and I was valuing that as primary to God. It was angering and humiliating when I saw that I was underestimating my own womanhood and allowing some other woman to define what was rightfully and uniquely mine to express.”
Thanks for the post.
Here it is: http://utmost.org/classic/the-discipline-of-disillusionment-classic/
FReeper vision posts a daily Oswald Chambers thread from My Utmost For His Highest here on FR...
Negotiating price with other men, who will almost invariably demand more money out of a woman than they would dare with a man.
That is a given. I was in the car business for over 20 years and always enjoyed a woman who knew how to negotiate, they are rare but they are out there. My mother was and still is antique dealer so I came by it honest.
Always watch closely body shops and service depts. that is who nails women the worst in the car business.
‘Yep, that’s pretty much how I see it too...........but you forgot to add “somebody to bitch at when all the above chores have been completed” ‘
That is kind of a given and it is also a 2 way street. She has to endure your political work stories. I figured it was a wash.
“Also interesting, I have been approached by heterosexual people who have never struggled with same sex attraction wanting to know more about the mystery that is homosexuality and seeking to understand its dynamics and how a person can “get there””
No mystery about it. It’s all about sex? Nothing more. Most lesbians and all homosexual men are sexual predators, the more sex partners the better. This “marriage” with just one person stuff really cracks me up, when the majority of them want to have threesomes and foursomes each and every night and see nothing at all wrong with it, and a lot of them are in relationships exactly like that. So look for a dyke or fag to be the first to sue some state because he/she wants to “marry” five or six other he/shes. The more the merrier, and the more government freebies from democrats. It’s sex, sex and nothing else.
Loobs? Doobs, maybe? But definitely not moobs.
ping for later.
Good article. One thing that stands out to me in this issue, is this: if we are created in the image of God, and we know homosexuality is an abomination to God, how does it translate that those (professing Christians) who practice it can say that God created them like this? THAT is blasphemy! I’m certain that part of the problem is that those who start to fantasize the attraction do NOT seek godly counsel at a time when they COULD get help. Seeking psychological help is like the blind leading the blind. The further in one goes, the more one sees sin as anything but sin. You convince yourself that God must have loved you as a homosexual if you are overcome by the desire. We have long ago stopped seeking to live for God alone, and instead we seek His blessings on our own choices in life.
Great article. Yet another leaves the lesbian lifestyle.
Fascinating article and perspective.
*ALMOST*????
You have a strong stomach there.
Yes.
Some of what renders men appealing is masculinity. No wussy men for us.
I could do all that stuff myself or hire someone out to do it with considerably less aggravation than marrying a man is worth, but OTOH, I wouldn’t trade being married for anything in the world.
There are some of us out there who do not look at men as live in bondservants.
‘There are some of us out there who do not look at men as live in bondservants.’
I must have names and phone numbers of these women. Pics would also be preferred.:)
Now you mean to tell me, imagine there are no Mexicans, that you could kill mice, spiders, take out the garbage, dig postholes, herd cattle, castrate the male cattle, fix a tractor, remember to get the oil changed, balance a checkbook, do the taxes, get rid of a wasp nest, work a paying job 60-80 hours/week, put new flashlight batteries in, set the clocks forward or back depending on the time of year, mow the lawn while smiling at neighbors you can’t stand, investigate a strange noise usually outside in your drawers and sometimes without in Jan., remember where the cutoff valve for the water is, reset a breaker while you try to find the flashlight in the dark, find the flashlight and wonder why you didn’t put in new batteries, cut, split and stack enuff firewood to heat a small city, check the washer fluid in the cars, check the oil, rotate the tires on the afore mentioned cars, walk the dog, and put the lid back on the toothpaste, you can do all that, are you blonde, wear blue tights and a red cape and have a big red S emblazoned on your chest? If so forget the other women’s names and numbers, I have been looking for you all my life. Send info.:)
