I had a similar, but quite different experience. My tail bone broke my senior year in college and the doc wanted to remove it. I asked him if it would help and he said no. I would have phantom pain the rest of my life. No thanks, so I went to...

You should be careful of any polyamory source since many of them are infested with swingers.

There weren’t judges for long stretches of time during the time of Judges. God always preferred his people to live in direct communion with him. Judges only arose in times of need.

Doing right in your own eyes sounds like having the freedom to live your conscience and convictions. This does not mean any lack of accountability to God and scripture, it just means someone else's conscience doesn't get to dictate your actions...

This is a hyper specific and very powerful qualifier to Paul’s words, the only powers that this verse applies to is those that punish evildoers and praise good. There are not many people who meet that standard.

There may not be New Testament examples, but you did read Bible enough: Judges 17:6 In those days there was no king in Israel, but every man did that which was right in his own eyes. Judges 21:25 In those days there was no king in Israel: every...

Thanks for the examples. This ministry is unabashedly patriarchal (according to biblical extracts in the order of chain of submission). It’s a feature, not a secondary afterthought around here. However, what that looks like in each house is up...

To me, it seems that having separate homes completely defeats the purpose. I want someone my wife and I can share our lives with. I want the three of us to be the closest friends forever. I want a close family. I don't see any benefits to keeping...

This sort of think influenced the daughters in the family our daughter married into. They didn't know how they would feel about my husband's other wife when they came out for the wedding 2.5 years ago. They were surprised at how NORMAL it...

If you'd like to talk, send me a DM. I'll give you my contact info. There are some things I don't feel comfortable sharing through the forum. I'm really glad it's been going well for you. This is what I want for my family too. F2, as I'm...

Had a sisterwife over four years now. If wanting this had made me equipped I would have had no problems. There is really not much about monogamy that helps you with this. It changes pretty much everything. I have really never had a problem with...

I agree with a lot of what you believe, but you carry it too far. If Noah hadn’t separated himself from his neighbors and followed a revelation that no one else received, he wouldn’t have built the ark. If Moses hadn’t kept going up against the...

There is a Bell Curve for anything, with abuse on either side of the center. I wish that the term patriarchy meant a balanced, Biblical male leadership. But alas, it doesn’t. It simply means male leadership, so toxic patriarchy is simply a...

Sometimes the situation reaches a point where we try to apply the lesson from Proverbs; Where there is no wood, the fire goes out; And where there is no talebearer, strife ceases (Proverbs 26:20). Rather than continuing to pour fuel on the fire...
