I think even if it was that simple it would cause a problem because people like to think the worst. Like a lot of Apostolic Friends!!
I thought she was referring to a "he"
If it was a friend,,,,, no problem. People do it all the time. But when you start mixing the gender, you need to really know them and trust them. Be on the safe side and say no.

I thought she was referring to sharing in general, not just herself. In case of a male and she is pretty it may be a problem. If she is ugly that may change.
Apparently, you haven't been reading the other thread!
My real thoughts are if you really needed a roommate for money purposes - there are probably going to be more women out there needing the help than men anyway!
Here's a sad thought for you..............
I know of 3 different situations where 2 women share a home. In fact, in one of the situations, both women are extremely conservation Apostolic women. In all 3 situations I have had people come to me and ask whether I thought that these ladies were gay. I seriously do NOT believe that any of them are and firmly told everyone so when asked.
The point I am trying to make tho is that if people would ask questions about someone's sexuality just because they happen to share a home, even tho they are the same sex, what do you think they would do with 2 people of the OPPOSITE sex sharing a home!?

Sister, got news for you.
In my travels I go to a lot of different churches. Some conservative and some more so liberal/ moderate
There is a problem ripping through the churches right now. It seems that young women will start sharing apartments and then a spirit gets moving and there are moral problems in that apartment. I am talking about in the church! This is not an isolated problem. Very widespread. Furthermore, it is not just happening here but in many countries.
The pastors then have to step in, try to seperate these girls and many of these girls are just walking away from church.
This is a huge problem we are facing, because of our culture.

It's a weird world we live in. Things are definately different than when I was growing up.

I do believe I would rather someone think I was 'living with a man' than to think I was a lesbian.

Not once did anyone say anything about her husband and I, but things were said about HER and I!
