| Okay Im always PMing the various parents who come in here saying hi and would be glad to help and you want to talk outside of here sometime and stuff like that so I decided to give myself this role (though I do prefer PMs and IMs over just forum posts.) Why do you prefer PMs to forum posts? I am th... |

| M Any ideas on helping her deal with the not so nice kids she is going to have to deal with for her entire academic career? Thank You Kelly I was a lucky child in that I was never bullied all the way through high school and I put this down to the wise advice my mother gave me. She said that I shoul... |

| It was just from your post you want your son to accept that these kids treat him badly for no good reason. If he's forced to accept it, maybe he'll start thinking he deserves it because he is bad or has something wrong with him. He doesn't deserve to go down that path. Well, for one thing, my son s... |

| I am on my son's side, and I do want to be. But my sister is still angry with the people who bullied her and she is in her thirties... chances are the bullies have matured and have realised their behaviour was wrong, or they have forgotten who my sister is and have gotten on with their lives... so m... |

| I would have probably preferred private tutoring or independent study, so I wouldn't have to deal with all the stuff schools, both public and private, dish out. Schools are very conformist institutions. There are teachers out there who will admit a student does great work, but they think they shoul... |

| How does your church (doctrine wise) stand on women working out side the home, and women taking leadership roles outside church, and women in "mens" jobs? There have been female lawyers, and doctors for a long time in our society, so those are generally more accepted roles. What about female fighte... |

And the kind of people who believe in strapping bombs to themselves on public transport and killing themselves along with many others are the ones who believe that is a "good deed" and will fast track t... |

| It's been awhile since I read any of C.S. Lewis' Narnia books, but I hated the way he stereotyped all non-Christian religions as being evil, and, if you read even further into it, 'Satanic'. (Reread 'The Last Battle' to see what I mean.) Sorry if I've offended any Narnia fans, but I just really, re... |

| I think that Noah and Daniel should be kept apart as much as it's possible, because Daniel has the things he likes to do and Noah wants to interrupt them and get Daniel's attention, which is not what Daniel wants. And while it's a shame for Noah not to have a brother who wants to play with him, it ... |

| Yeah, I know. I used to be a Christian. At times I experienced a warm fuzzy feeling that I interpreted as being God or the Holy Spirit. I still get the warm fuzzy feeling even though I no longer believe in God. I don't experience the Holy Spirit as a warm fuzzy feeling and don't know anyone who cla... |

| In some cases, I think it's probably better for people to continue believing in their God, because they aren't capable of moral and ethical behavior otherwise. Th eway I see it is that a truly matured person can develop past needing the father/mother figure of God and be capable of doign what is ri... |

| I attend a church where women cannot be priests. Women are not allowed to teach men, so women can lead the children's groups up to the age of 18 but only men can teach men. Women can teach other women though and I regularly lead a women's Bible study group. I grew up with a lesbian feminist mother. ... |

| So what does God mean to You. How do You see God. As per the description in the Bible. So holy that we cannot look upon him, but if we saw Jesus Christ we would know what God looked like. We will not see God face to face until Heaven. Does God do anything for You. Yes, everything. He gave me my hus... |

Noah has stopped the screaming as a weapon routine- at least on a regular basis. I think/hope that as he gets a little bit older things will calm down a little. Right now ev... |
