It's even more important now for everybody to follow that or at least be aware is what I always encourage people to know. Sugar is jus as bad as cocaine we just dont think so cause its legal. I am also a distributor of Usana in brampton, Ontario. So if anybody has any questions or would like to try the Reset or any of other amazing products feel free to msg me. gracemedeiros@usana.com.

It's interesting just how long we can go along with what's usual, and then something (usually not this direct) makes us remember a buried longing and we feel starved and shriveled.

Shoot, the male elders even help in the nursery! Yet, I do not embrace everything from the standpoint of doctrine, and I am the only working mother of young children. I have just decided to plant my roots in good soil and see what happens. But, like you, I have never felt like I truly "fit" anywhere.

My husband did that to me. I warned him before we were even engaged that my beliefs were no longer lining up with the church we had attended and that I was leaving. I gave him the option to leave me, and he chose not to take it. He led me to believe he would try to be on board with me, but he never really was. <br /><br />Fortunately, he cannot say he was warned that I was not putting up with certain churches anymore. Fortunately, he knows I have the stronger character so he'll never try to get me in those churches again. Unfortunately, he chooses instead to ensure we'll never find a church we can both agree on, while insisting that worship at two different churches is not an option.

Plato was not a Christian. He lived about 400 years prior to the rise of Christianity during a time when pagan priestesses abounded. What this video describes is a male dominated *world*. You could find worse quotes than these in Islam and Judaism. You could find worse attitudes in other religions and cultures. <br /><br />Japan- with Shinto and Buddhist heritage- is notoriously resistant to Christian conversions and continues to be one of the most male-centered cultures in the world. Chinese culture is very much the same way. Hindu/Buddist India is far more misogynistic than the Judeo-Christian western cultures. <br /><br />I feel that Male-centrism is more a product of our evolutionary biology, where gender-specific neurophysiology predispose males to being highly aggressive and competitive.<br /><br />It should be noted that in the pre-Christian culture, a woman's role was identified with property and ultimately her destiny was determined by men, so when Christian women established *their own monasteries* (called convents in the West), they kept no personal property, thus removing themselves from the control of males. In fact, to this day, when my priest visits an Orthodox convent, he must kiss the hand of the Abbess because she is entitled to the same honor as a male bishop. This is not being "progressive", this is the ancient Christian tradition.<br /><br />I am new to this blog so I hope i have not offended.<br /><br />- DavidSPintradexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02929825475088562246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8180708.post-20902264725045055312010-10-15T16:39:20.258-04:002010-10-15T16:39:20.258-04:00I agree with you, Alana.
