Welcome, Renoir! I, too, feel liberated as a recent deconvert.

I haven't tried following a thread yet, but I've used forums with this software many times before and never had a problem. I would check what e-mail address you have set up (make sure it's the same one you're checking) and also check your spam folder in your e-mail, just in case notifications are be...

You are exactly right, Ivy! Good news... I told my husband about today's e-mail exchange. He found the "unfair" comment to be inappropriate. He's totally got my back on this type of thing. We both agree that the guy's initial intentions were good, but calling me unfair for not wanting to s...

Gordie, I understand that to many in the coc, you're just as bad as the atheist. :roll: I read the initial letter to my neighbor this afternoon, and her response was, "That was kind of condescending." And it was. And then me being unfair because I don't want to study with him weekly? Reall...

I tried listening to the podcast he sent. I couldn't make it all the way through. I tried listening to a different episode of the podcast, one on a science topic. I quickly debunked what they were saying there. So I told him that this wasn't going to work for me and that I needed space. I told him t...

This morning I got an email from my friend's husband, wanting to have e-mail discussions about this Intelligent Design podcast he listens to. The first podcast is about 10 books every conservative should read. :roll: He wants to have a brief back and forth e-mail discussion every week. Um... NO. I u...

So they haven't taken me off the membership e-mail list yet, and I received the prayer list this morning. I'm not on it. I am 99.9% sure that they haven't mentioned my absence at all in front of the congregation. I've had one person text me to ask where I was yesterday (she sits in front of me and w...

Oh wow! I saw a FB post about that surgery recently. You're like a bionic woman now, eh?

I hope everything heals properly and the pain goes away. So glad you're doing ok. We were definitely starting to worry a bit here!

I think it was the total lack of any sweetness. I like grape juice. :) I also don't drink coffee or carbonated beverages. Don't like the taste of any of those. I was an extremely picky child and remain very picky as an adult, but I've expanded my palate by easily 100%. For example, as a kid, I didn'...

I tried wine again recently and nope... still can't stand it. I love the smell. But the taste... ugh. A good wine tastes great in my beef dishes though! The one time I was able to drink an entire drink was when I was at a college party on a dry campus, and they had made koolaid with beer. :lol: That...
