Introductions

Sorry that I have been so absent recently. Feeling a bit overwhelmed with college just starting. I have missed the interaction.

Wondering if anyone has anything to say about jealousy between members of the family. Any family. Polygamous or not.
 
Hi I am a single mom of 2 kids. I live in Florida and I will be attending the retreat in Orlando on memorial day weekend. I first heard of a person who was a polygamist and a christian intead of mormon or muslim about 2 years ago and started looking into it. I am pentecostal. I am here to meet living examples of what I have been learning about. Well I hope to meet some of you soon. byby
 
Hi everyone, I’m Deanne. My husband introduced himself on the gentlemen’s greetings area, so here I am introducing myself.

We met at church, and after seeing each other in bible studies and serving together in outreaches, started spending more time together. We became best friends, and six children later, are more in love, knitted together, than ever. We homeschool. We work. We laugh, hug, crash. Then get up and do it again! :)

Our marriage has blossomed greatly ever since Ray decided to drag my tired self out of bed every morning at very early hours :) to study the Bible together. He’s an early morning person, who usually needs (or gets) less sleep than I. I was more of a night owl. But I prayed for years that we would have a one flesh spiritual life together. Little did I realize that two things were holding me back: my willingness to follow him at whatever time, even losing an extra hour of sleep, and my female ability to chat on and on, even about spiritual topics! So I learned to follow, thanking the Lord for His answers, and I actually learned to only share after we had each had a good amount of silent reading time, waiting (again) for his lead. Wow! Has God blessed us!

We had been studying marriage topically for nine months or so, in addition to our usual expository studies. We fairly quickly began to realize that polygyny, not just monogamy or celibacy, was among the biblical calls for believers. Whatever God wants to do in our family, we’re seeking Him. It sure has been amazing to read your discussions, to see that there are, indeed, real Christians living a polygynous life in faith. I look forward to getting to know you all.

Keep the faith and follow God's will wherever it takes you. It is an exciting journey and we are guaranteed a happy ending.

Love

hello yall,
i am finally getting around to writing my first post. i have read everything on here but am very interested in this ladies forum. like most women i like to know about others experiences and learn from the good times and the bad times. my name is annette and i am married to the chaplain. he has posted about our desire to have my best friend "J" join us. i dont know when it will happen but it when it does i want to be ready and willing... when the chaplain first brought the subject of adding "J" as a second wife, i fought it kicking, screaming and vocally. its embarrassing :oops: to say it but its true. i was all set to prove him wrong, even partially wrong but i must admit i was the one proven wrong. i would have to say for the most part i am in agreement but sometimes there is a part of my that still wants to rebel against it all. at first i really did not understand the dynamics of GOD allowing a man to have more than one wife but as i have opened my heart to it , i can understand and see that it is biblical and that it is not that i am not enough for him. sometimes i can be too much for him. i have to remember a closed heart can not love like it should or can not be used by God as fully as it should be so i gotta remember to keep my heart open and my fears at bay. i want to be a woman of prayer and to be used of GOD wherever and whenever HE sees fit to use me. i want to be the wife that GOD intended me to be and the one the chaplain needs. i have alot to unlearn and relearn. i look forward to getting to know the ladies here and also meeting some of yall at the retreat in dallas. i also use yahoo messenger. i really like to read, go to movies, spend time with my family and friends, and play games. i guess that is me in a nut shell.... :lol:

rose,
Happy to have you on board. I feel like we are old friends and yet we have never met. I can't wait till the Dallas retreat to get to finally meet you.

I am at work - and only get short breaks - so this will actually be short (which is unuual for me). I am Shari, first wife, seven children, seventeen grandchildren. I love to read (& learn), write, teach, and enjoy photography (& associated hobbies like scrapbooking), visiting new places & meeting new people, esp enjoy seeing local historial sites and museums. Someday I will play my piano again (for personal enjoyment only ;) ). I am glad there is a place to "go" now (online - and retreats) where there are actually others I can get to know & relate with regarding not only being in (or believe in) polygny lifestyle - but also love the Lord. I hope to get to know you all - I've enjoyed reading all your posts!
 
Hello there!

I go by WomanSeekingGod and I am my husband's only wife (though I would love to have sister wife!). We live in Oregon out in the country and are trying to get our little ministry up and running while raising our three kiddies. My husband and Pastor Randy have been "chatting" through e-mails for a few months now. We will also be attending the Oregon retreat this month.

It's almost embarrassing that it's taken me so long to join this group and introduce myself! I've known about it for months and yet I haven't taken the time, until now, to join! :oops: However, here I am, and it's a GREAT place to be! I have been enjoying reading all the introductions and hearing about the different lives. What a great place for learning and encouragement!

Respectfully yours,
WomanSeekingGod
 
Greetings ,
Thank you Lissa for the warm welcome and I can't wait too meet you too. I would also like to welcome WomanSeekingGod and GivenMercy. I look forward to getting to know yall and the other women here. I think we have a lot of different experiences that when shared can help someone else who is going through something we have been through. I still sometimes rebel at things and that is the time when I feel I can be too much for my Chaplain, BUT, when J and i gang up on him he really has a handful to deal with... giggles....... and we do gang up on him a lot!!!! I look forward to meeting some of you at the Dallas retreat and hope to connect with other women with the same mindset, though we believe God's Word and have accepted it, but still struggle at times within ourselves over it. By connecting and sharing with each other those occasional struggles we can share on our various ways of dealing with them. What doesn't break us makes us stronger. The Chaplain and I both feel that "J" is thinking about what we shared with her in a letter explaining to her what it is we wish to do. She does not wish to talk about it at this time but seems to be accepting of what we wrote by her actions. She still has a lot of family things going on that are hindering her fully being able to join us at this time and to discuss it further. It's been a slow process but with the advent of the letter things have progressed faster than a snails pace unlike before. I also send a hearty welcome to everyone else on the board.
 
Funny, Theresa and I gang up on Randy a lot too. But he likes it, especially when we do it in fun.
 
Hi, My husband and I live in Florida. We have three children and a second wife. We are currently talking to a lady in Texas and are hoping she may be joining our family.
 
Welcome "Teamwork"!, and chalk another one up for Florida! What is up with this - could it be God connecting people in certain locations? I certainly hope so. Look for your "Florida get-together" email shortly, and let us know how we can serve you here at BiblicalFamilies.org.

Edit: (after Lissa's) reply... Doh!!! The "View Active Topics" takes another victim! Who'd have thought it woulda been me after the recent elbowing about it! Now it's Maria's turn to laugh at me (not that I laughed at you Maria!, I was laughing at the women "breathing a sigh of relief!" ) :-) I just punked myself.
 
Nathan,

Shame on you, posting in the ladies only section. 50 lashes with a wet noodle.

Lissa
 
Welcome Teamwork,
Welcome to the board. Looking forward to hearing more from you and your family. I hope you feel free to post and share about you and your family. We are like a big family here. Welcome again
 
Hello,
I'm new to this site so thought I'd say hello. I'm Heidi Lee from Vermont. My husband is Tracy. We have been studying Scripture on Christian polygamy and have come to see it is another form of a Christian marriage. We both feel lead to search for wife # 2. I work part time as a care giver to my dad who is in a wheelchair & also has Alzheimer's. My husband, Tracy works at VTC college in the kitchen. I'm real excited about finding a sister-wife to add to our family and really feel whatever comes along we could work it out. Look forward to meeting all of you. Very thankful I found this site of like minded Christians to fellowship with. Blessings,
Heidi Lee
 
Heidi and Tracy,
You have found a wonderful site full of great people. The Chaplain and I send yall a welcome and hope to hear more from you in your search for a sister-wife. It sounds like you are very busy taking care of your father and I know God will bless you for it. Again welcome from the both of us.
 
Hi,

I posted my introduction on the Introductions section, but I think I should post here as a "lady." I'm Sara, the non-polygamist from Metro NY. I work a lot and want to go to Grad school for my Master's or ideally PhD in Economics. I love meeting new people, studying social behavior as an untrained eye, and am an avid tennis player. You can thank the show Big Love for my presence here. Everyone appears to be very nice, looking forward to talking to you.

If anyone has any questions about the financial disaster going on right now, feel free to ask. I work in the center of it - our investment bank was one of the two just converted to a holding company.

Sara
 
Welcome Sara. Sorry for the delayed greeting. I am just now catching up on reading the posts for the last several weeks. You seem like a very interesting person yourself. I look forward to hearing more from you.
