    What do peopl say when you tell them you're a Quaker/Mennonite/etc.

    There was a thread in a Facebok group I belong to that asked t"What do people say when you tell them you're a Quaker" Some of the answers were very very funny, and some just made me go "huh?". I thought it might be a fun thread topic here. :)

    Thanksgiving nightmare

    Thanksgiving was SO FRUSTRATING that I'm still steaming about it. Like many of you, I don't necessarily plan on staying child free for ever, but I am not in any way shape or form having kids soon. No way, not going to happen. So I hope it's OK if I post here. So anyway, My husband is one of 5...

    I have a confession to make...

    I don't like U2. I'm sorry, I tried, I really really have tried to like them but I don't. I like their new cover of "Instant Karma" but other than that, no. Does this make me a bad liberal Christian?

    sexism

    Sometimes the sexist attitudes I see from Christians just makes me want to scream. I had to walk out of a bridal shower because of it once. The woman was basically saying that women where more easily swayed (NOT true if you look at my husband and me, I'm more skeptical, he buys into things more...

    My husband's Poem

    MY husband writes poetry (usually about faith, current events or both), and I really wanted to share a beautiful poem that he wrote. It's an anti-war poem. I thought it would be "safe" to post here, because I've seen in WWMC that even if we disagree we are respectful of one another. So enjoy :)...

    I know what religion I am now!

    So I was thinking about how I was raised Catholic (and basically consider myself Catholic) I don't know that I would go around saying I am one here on CF for fear of what people might say. And I go to a Lutheran church, I basically agree with Lutherans (ELCAers anyway) on most things but I'm not...

    Kind of a random question, but I was wondering... I know Lutherans do confirmation but do you pick confirmation names or is that just a Roman Catholic thing?
