I know better. Newman's articles had a powerful influence on a lot of women regarding their hair and pants
Newman's articles are how I originally found FCF, so yes, they did impact me. But the truth was that I was on the internet searching for information that was different than the usual party line about standards. If I had not found it at FCF, I would have found it elsewhere.

If anything, I do think the forums are largely responsible for my temporary return to the conservative side of the line. I honestly don't know if that would have happened had it not been for the time I spent at the forums.

And in a way, I also credit the forums for keeping me from rejecting Christianity completely during my darkest days, both between the friends who gave me encouragement and unconditional love, and the fact that I am stubborn enough that I was not going to prove the "leaving standards equals leaving God" crowd right.

Doctrinally speaking, most of my views are the same as when I came here. But I warn you... I'll play devil's advocate on occasion to drive a discussion deeper.
Your a sinner and going to hell!
