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.

This very thing happened with LadyRev and I, and she's married!!
Not once did anyone say anything about her husband and I, but things were said about HER and I!

H1, don't you hate it when people stick their noses into things that they know absolutely NOTHING about! That's how I feel about it when people ask me about each of my friends. If they really knew these women, they wouldn't even consider the possibility that any of them could be gay. But instead of taking the time to get to know them, people just want to jump to their own conclusions and think the worst.
The one that REALLY angers me is the Apostolic couple. One of the women has a sister who was my good friend growing up. She has since moved to Montana and only sees her sister every few years. But the last time she came home to visit, she came over to visit me and asked me while she was here if I thought that her sister and her friend were gay. I couldn't BELIEVE that she would ask that!!
I'm not stupid and I don't have my head stuck in the sand. I know that these kinds of things can and do happen, even in Apostolic circles. But why would we jump to this conclusion as a FIRST reaction? And why do we think it is our place to bring judgement anyway? Unless there is positive evidence, we need to guard our own hearts carefully so that we don't become judge and jury and jump to wrong conclusions. Imagine what that can do to a person's life to be judged gay when they are not.

That is just sad. Its horrible that people try to look or believe the worst in people rather then try to believe or look for the best of people and give them the benefit of the doubt even if they do think something is going on. I am not a fan of Joel Osteen but he does a have a pretty good teaching where he talks abt. giving people the benefit of the doubt and to not think bad thoughts automatically.
Just kidding! JUST KIDDING!!!
