(My family had never really been involved in the "Christian homeschool" scene, so when we found this place we had nooo idea what we were getting into. Thankfully, even though it was quite painful, we were quickly exposed to the ugly underbelly of it all and managed to get away. Scarred, and chased for a time, but away. And thoroughly educated. Haha.) And you're right, everything had to be villainized. The "world" is evil, evil, evil and because of that, you HAVE to turn to THIS way of thinking and doing.<br /> <br /><br />www.justamysblog.blogspot.comAmyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10942187922246383744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6879552692521649812.post-54441022346634309532011-02-18T08:50:34.956-05:002011-02-18T08:50:34.956-05:00I hope the "others" are reading this.

That means you're far ahead of many other young women in your position.<br /><br />For now, you may only be dependent upon your parents for subsistence, but that situation may change in the near future. I pray that it does for you.<br /><br />Don't squash the work of the Holy Spirit in your life when God whispers that a young man "might be the one." Test that whisper and hold fast only to what is good and true. Pray and give thanks, and trust in God and the story He has written for your life. It's bound to be beautiful.Mr. Green Eyesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6879552692521649812.post-84068915783485829352011-02-17T21:54:18.905-05:002011-02-17T21:54:18.905-05:00I am seeing this all the time among my friends. I...I am seeing this all the time among my friends. I'm a moderately conservative person, I love my big family, I homeschool (because I like it not because I think school is the devil), so I attract people who are similar to me in that respect. But we are so different...sometimes it feels kind of lonely. I don't see the world as this great big boogeyman out to get my child's soul. I just don't. Why? Because I was raised in a very worldly environment, and while there are pitfalls to be avoided with that for sure, I met a lot of wonderful people and had good experiences along the way. So sad that some choose to view the world as dark and frightening!TeacherMommyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17339075826364003071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6879552692521649812.post-68748703574984896342011-02-17T21:51:55.920-05:002011-02-17T21:51:55.920-05:00And for some Courtship isn't enough.

Quivering Daughters had this linked on their fb and i clicked on it. Glad that I did! Honestly the devil gets more blame than God gets praise. When in truth we are responsible for our own actions. We are not puppets on a string instead we have a free will. When we create this "boogey man" complex we do not face the reality, we do not take responsibility nor are we being an individual with the right to think for our own self. <br /><br />I will admit I was trapped in much of this mind set however slowly but surely I am seeing through the smoke and the fog. Either Grace exist or it don't however I think that people loose themselves literally in such craziness. It makes a great case for psychologist on paranoia : ) my own little humor there!Shakespeartheoryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18120756461332852111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6879552692521649812.post-33936238553883402702011-02-17T21:08:08.877-05:002011-02-17T21:08:08.877-05:00The Satan my parents have created is called "...The Satan my parents have created is called "Fleshly desires." These consist of any thoughts, deep feelings, intuition, or inner longings I may possess that run contrary to their Godly model (which is more Parently than Godly). To feel something in my heart would be fooling myself and be especially un-Godly, because my heart is a self-destructive organ even after God has changed it. If I follow my heart -- which, to them, is simply an unmeasured, unreliable corruption that must be shoved into a box and smothered until I present it, cold and stale, to the man they deem "worthy" enough to receive it -- I'm straying from God. Never mind that I have been given a new heart from the great Surgeon.<br /><br />All little feelings of "He might be the one" and "When he talks about God there's a true ring of sincerity, and his actions don't contradict him" are to be dismissed and considered irrelevant. What they've told me is that my opinions aren't important. I'm to trust them, blindingly, as I have in the past, because I can't be trusted to make my own decisions. How will I ever do what is right when they have passed away? There won't be an unbiased party acting in my best interest in every important decision I make. Little, of course, do they consider that God is on my side and will make sure everything ultimately comes out to His glory. He's written my life story, and He's promised that it will have a happy ending. Shouldn't that be enough for any Christian? that I have a happy ending written for my life's story.<br /><br />They have raised me to depend on them for guidance. I wish I could change it.B.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6879552692521649812.post-35496113926319560902011-02-17T20:37:49.175-05:002011-02-17T20:37:49.175-05:00Ohhhh....very good, Lewis.

In the past people separated, or endured abuse or alcoholism, or ignored cheating and infidelity. The fact that people now have a way out of these situations is not a bad thing.<br /><br />2. Abortion stats: Talking to women my mom's age, I believe there have actually been far fewer abortions since acceptance of birth control and family planning. It's really hard to guage abortion rates since we don't know how many illegal ones were performed.<br /><br />3. Porn addictions: The internet does make porn more easily available; but again, in the past, how many of these men would have been frequenting "gentlemen's clubs," or hiring prostitutes, or engaging in infidelity? There have always been outlets for sexual immorality; the medium just changes.<br /><br />I'm not super old but I'm not a spring chicken, either, and I don't think there's any reason at all to panic.
