Hello from Milwaukee Wisconsin

I have been very lonely because I seemed to understand the Bible better than everyone. I am not proud to make that statement. It is just that people would not be willing to accept what the scriptures plainly say. I thought I do not know the Bible very well and need to know it better, there must be someone who can teach me.

I really prayed to find a woman who I can talk about scripture with, because no one seemed to understand me. I have been very lonely looking for someone.

I was almost completely certain that polygamy was not directly forbidden anywhere in scripture. But I was not sure if it was directly stated to be allowed, although I felt it probably states that it is allowed somewhere since it is too big a question for God to leave unanswered and it was certainly not directly forbidden in decent English translations that I have seen.

After being on this site only a little while I found the answer to my question. Polygamy is allowed in the scripture.

I finally found people, who I can talk about the Bible with and who I can understand and be understood by. I feel that I finally have people who are able to teach me more about the Bible, just like I have been praying for.

Even though I am not yet married I do not feel lonely anymore since I found people I could relate to.

I am very thankful for this website.

I am probably not looking to get married until at least 2012 for financial reasons, but if God provides the means and the woman or women I would have no problem getting married earlier.

Being lonely I developed a very bad habit of spending to much time on the internet, just looking for someone who I could relate to.

So right now I am trying to overcome my bad habit. I might just post once a week or so, because I am busy working on my Thesis.

So everyone feel free to send me emails if you want to talk to me about anything. But I might just try to do emails on personal matters non-school/non-work related matters once a week or so.

And especially feel free to send me emails, if you are a woman looking for a husband, but willing to get married after 2012.

Maybe I will send more info about me later on this section
 
Re: Hello

Welcome, DTT, but I feel like I am welcoming someone that has been around a while, kinda weird. ;)

Between the Jonah Code and the (secular) Mayan Calendar, you might want to throw your thesis out the window, and rethink your commitment to a post 2012 marriage. :shock:

Have you had a chance to read any of the literature that is linked to on the main page? Lots of good stuff there.

Are you local in the US? Foreign? What gives? If you are close to any of the members here, you can always meet up for some fellowship. Lots of pins in the map on the bottom of the page below.

Good luck with your studies and thesis, and thanks for being a part of the family here.

Re: Hello

Hi DTT,
With 72 posts in only 3 weeks, I would think that a thesis should be a breeze for you. :lol: I love the curiosity that you bring to the conversations. I am glad that you feel you have found a place to be in fellowship. It is a need that I have had for a very long time and I too have found this to be just the place.
It is frustrating to talk to people, even close friends, about concepts and ideas only to have them look at you like you are speaking jibberish. Here I have found a place where iron truely sharpens iron. We don't have to agree on all the issues, all the time. Just being willing to discuss ideas together can help us have a deeper understanding of our Lord.

Blessings to you.

-WILL
