Lil Enslaved Kitten sorry it took so long but i do believe that lack of knowledge and the willingness to understand is the main problem. where i was raised in a strict southern baptist home my family was not very accepting of my way of life till after many long talks and the fact that they wanted to understand. It is cool, I am studying for an exam... that I have no idea what to study... If we took the time to understand think of all the issues that wouldn't had come up and more Christians that would be Christ-like. Christ said to love was the greatest commandment, but many take the scripture and use it as a blade. True we are called to use it as a weapon, but that is against "the forces of darkness" not each other. I think many fear the fine line in, which it becomes abuse. You will find many opened minded Christians, but sadly it is the closed minded ones that shout the loudest.

Lil Enslaved Kitten this topic has me wanting to ask a question i have been wondering about for a while now. how is BDSM relationships viewed by many Christians? i have many friends on a site i'm on that are married and practice the BDSM life. me and my husband do as well. this is one reason we are having a hard time finding a church we are comfy going to because so many in rural areas like where we live are fast to condem us on any aspect of the life style (such as my collar or the fact i call my husband Daddy or Sir) I don't believe there is any problem with it as long as it's between two consenting adults. There's nothing directly addressing BDSM within scriptures. The only problem I could see is if the Dom or Master gets abusive, but then it wouldn't be consensual at that point. Rural churches tend to be on the conservative side though there are of course always exceptions. I'm not sure what part of the US you are in or how conservative/liberal your area is but there are a few liberal sects when it comes to sexuality that I know of right off hand. Quakers tend to be more liberal but it varies by the community and area. Episcopals also tend to be liberal but again it depends on the area, Northern Episcopals tend to be more liberal than their Southern counterparts. United Methodist tend to be more moderate so again it's a mixed bag depending on the area. Honestly you might want to do some church shopping to find out which church would be a good fit. This is something that took me a while to learn but not all churches are the same.

I have a few... only these two on this guild though We kind of have to be, we live in a world where information is thrown at us with pitching machines set for 120 mph. Some truth, most false. As a generation following the introduction of the internet.... We can't accept one thing as fact with out looking at all possible angles. It isn't like the generations of the past, where information came in the form of a letter or newspaper. That wasn't written until a few hours or days have passed from the event. If you believe the "doomsayers", these are the endtimes... and as Christians have to start accepting people for who they are... and not try to change them... or lose them.

Lil Enslaved Kitten to bad it wasn't always accept or lose people should have always thought that way in my OP Christ loved people first and accepted them, for his love alone was that great. From that point he changed people. As Christians we are called to Love as Christ loved.... sadly, we haven't been... we have been trying to change people to accept them according to our own rules. Eh, order always falls into disarray when to many minds think they are right...

I am going to pretend, I know what that statement means... and google it.
After review, I personally think it is wrong.
Half the time your beyond wrong, and other times the lady had a laps of judgement or she was raped. In the few cases, where the lady chose that lifestyle. It is just that, SHE CHOSE IT!!! Much to the same extent as someone else chooses to do drugs, have a child, chose not to die... list goes on.
It is her right, and I don't see how that choice should destroy the person underneath, as the slander would.
(too sleepy to correct my statement)

rmcdra Is slut shaming wrong? Why or why not? If yer a slut, male or female, just don't come bitching to me when your sluttiness doesn't let you attract the person who you really like and is really nice and would never treat you like a whore. I dont want to hear it. I don't shame sluts, plenty of them do it well enough on their own that I don't have to point out that bending over in a thong or wearing your pants around your knees is pathetic.
