Re: Is the UPC a Den of Incest?

Young ladies will be going bonkers this summer as they prepare and pack their suitcases for the pageants at Youth Camps around the nation while still making sure they keep up w/ the PK's daughters and conform to the ever watchful of their daddys.

So yes in that sense it is harder on the women. But I have not seen any "conspiracy to manipulate" or "keep women in their place" by use of "standards."
True.


Dan, what is your opinion of the many other Christians in North America who do not have any of the outward stuff, but fully understand that Man being created first was God's idea...

I think the freedom's society has given women are great... I firmly believe Jesus was the first women's liberater... I don't believe when he created Man and Woman that he intended for Man to Lord over the Woman and keep her under his feet.

STILL, It might serve us well to look around at society now... the children who are being parented by school systems...
I fear sometimes Christians forget that the creator knew the way it would work the best... Women aren't meant to be chattel, nor are they meant to be men.

If the quote was read in the context of the actual thread it was found in, it was neither unfortunate nor inflammatory.

I prayed for nothing but boys. I'll admit to that here anonymously. But my baby girl has been a light for me. She has a strength and firm determination in her heart that gives me a great feeling when I think about her. And she isn't overly swayed by fashions and trends.
