I ...Lol yeah... my husband likes my candle stick...<br />I digress. My worst advise was "you are way to silly, you will never be able to counsel people, they won't take you seriously."...

I get it...and agree with you.<br /><br />MrsHeindiii, you're kidding! Thanks for the great laugh this afternoon. You painted a vivid word picture...I can envision that lady standing up there doing that. Well being that I've been married almost 23 years and have probably had sex thousands of times by now, I guess my candlestick is not only snapped to pieces but probably melted away somewhere into oblivion. I should be dead by now. LOL Man, it's crazy the false teaching and legalism that's out there...........Dr. Deanna DossShrodeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06651422170585497480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34244281.post-1661152440266614082010-03-02T15:07:09.758-05:002010-03-02T15:07:09.758-05:00These are great, I have I heard quite a few of the...These are great, I have I heard quite a few of these and it's freeing to know that I am not alone in thinking people are crazy!<br /><br />A friend of mine and I were recently discussing how bad the church is talking about the subject of sex. My own point of reference was going to a youth rally as a teenager and the speaker held up a candlestick and spoke in her rough, Bayonne New Jersey voice, "you see this? Every time you have sex you snap years off your life" as she proceeded to snap the candlestick into smaller pieces. At 31 years of age I'm still as stumped about the message she was trying to convey when I was 13!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00901460133253196379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34244281.post-29669925623403332082010-03-02T07:24:28.194-05:002010-03-02T07:24:28.194-05:00Pastor's wives shouldn't wear red...or &qu...Pastor's wives shouldn't wear red...or "flashy" colors.<br /><br />Don't attend amusement parks or any place associated with the world. (In our family, this was almost everything.)<br /><br />No games with cards or dice. (Not even UNO. If a church member stops by, we don't want anyone to think we play cards.)<br /><br />Pastor's shouldn't drive new/updated cars.<br /><br />KEEP the pastor's family poor and begging the board for every crumb. (This was a feeling I had as a PK)<br /><br />Don't offend "Bro. and Sis. So-In-So" or their children because they are good givers and we don't want them to leave.(In truth, they probably are the cause of the Lord not richly blessing the ministry!)<br /><br />I grew up trying to follow most of those rules. There was such a double standard. Like #20-We didn't attend movies, but we'd rent it when it came out on video. (huh?) What I realized as I grew up was that our family was one of the few families strictly following these rules. <br /><br />Well, with the baptism in the Holy Spirit came a real freeing in my life (a wild and crazy husband doesn't hurt either lol) All rules need to be measured against the Bible. If it is not part of God's rules, then it is optional...stop making the rest of the world feel guilt! The body of Christ is full of people looking at the outward and forgetting about the heart. You know, some of the most sold out Christians I know do not look like the "norm". Believers, if they truely love God, need to stop requiring others to live by standards that God does not even require!<br />Okay, I'm done! :)<br />RuthRuth, PAnoreply@blogger.com
