    How celibate woman became a threat.....

    If I thought there was any chance of success, I might try a dating app that didn’t expect sexual involvement. It would be nice to have some female companionship. If something more developed, that might be okay. But I don’t see myself even showing up anywhere where you have to explicitly...

    Have to change churches after 5 loyal years.

    If you have decided that a congregation is so “horrible” because of the building they meet in, then consider the Catholic Church; they have some really, like outrageously medieval castle-type structures that’ll knock your socks off. If you have other spiritual interests besides architecture...

    Have to change churches after 5 loyal years.

    If your commitment to a particular congregation fails, you will quit being a Christian? I want to see you succeed, @Tony Ramirez . Your commitment to Christ will always suffer if you hinge it upon how well you like other people or how well they like you. You aren’t likely to love your church...

    Have to change churches after 5 loyal years.

    Don’t know if it’s been used here lately, but the old saw makes sense. If you find the perfect church, don’t go to it because you’ll mess it up. I’ve been reading a while now about your problems getting comfortable in a church. I feel for you; even as teaching elder, I was never really...

    What do you drink when you play video games?

    If I’m playing before noon, I have my big cup of tea. After that, it’s water from my British Berkefeld.

    'Autism isn't an excuse'

    The right to exist is the fundamental principle, though even that can be abrogated rightfully. As a Christian, I have no doubt that every person has purpose and therefore value. Maybe we should separate that issue from a cohort’s value to society. Though undiagnosed, I was the hardware guru...

    'Autism isn't an excuse'

    I’ll let @Neonatal RRT answer for himself, but have been working on this exact issue for awhile. Relationships are something like animal mating rituals. There’s no real requirement that the dance be performed just so, except that that’s the way the dance is performed. A misstep turns the...

    Do Any Of You Not Like It When People Say "I Promise"?

    My grandmother was good to her word. If she said we’d do something, she would often later say she had promised. She never said she promised, didn’t have to; her word was her bond. I try to be that way, wish everyone did.

    What? I am on the speaker phone, oh boy.....

    I always use speakerphone at home because it works better for my ears, never mention it to others because there’s never anyone else here. Don’t use speakerphone in public because I don’t like when others do it. In fact, I’m not terribly impressed with people carrying on public phonecons when...

    Developmental pathways for autism spectrum disorder

    Some of us say we would not accept a cure for their autism. This questions whether we would employ interventions for our offspring. Sounds plausible. Frankly, I am a little nervous about anything coming out of UCSD. Last I heard, they were experimenting with chemical ‘therapies’ that...

    Been thinking this over timely verus untimely deaths

    Someone has to live an awfully long time before they say at his wake, ‘He lived a long life, it was time for him to go.’ In my heart, I have wished I had succumbed to my awful health just after my wife’s death. Not aware of a developing internal infection during her hospice, I thought the Lord...

    "Curing Autism", this bothers me

    I have no problem with a group praying over a willing autist; they will prove to be effective or ineffective. If God wants to make an autistic person into an NT person, no doubt he can do it. However, IMO, it is probably praying against the Lord’s will. I believe that the Lord knit us...

    Bleach splash

    Hate the smell of bleach. Like including vinegar in the wash, the odor lingers and I don’t like smelling it on me. Being a detail-oriented kind of guy, I do a pretty good job of avoiding the stains and the bleach splash. If I see a stain, I use a spwerch of stain remover. Using bleach in the...

    Persona , Fatherhood , Inner voice

    We’re having some trouble understanding what you say. Don’t worry; folks around here are very patient and will let you talk about it at your own speed. Myself, I’m having a hard time understanding about the voices you hear. Do you mean that you are literally hearing voices that aren’t really...
