Re: Menstrual hut burned down. What to do with wife?

It certainly would have been easier if she would have been inside of the hut while it burned down.

Well you're nice.
Obviously it would have been much nicer if his wife had burned to death, so that he wasn't put to the inconvenience of trying to find a tarp for her to sleep under. Just in case you didn't get it, I was being sarcastic there.
Op- how about you give her some sanitary towels, and if you're still that bothered, let her sleep in the spare room. You can wash the sheets afterwards

Re: Menstrual hut burned down. What to do with wife?

We don't have a basement, and the attic is just a crawl space. I would be receptive to having her stay in the garage, but I'm afraid she'd sit on things and make my tools and truck and workbench unclean. Her original hut was a re-purposed tool shed in the back corner of our land. Earl's wife's hut has septic and electricity, so I wouldn't be outdoing that.

We have two bathrooms for me and my five sons, so I'm afraid there isn't one to spare just for her. Talk about something that would make her prideful! She'd be running all over town boasting to all the womenfolk, and we know what James 3:5 says about that:

Even so the tongue is a little member, and boasteth great things. Behold, how great a matter a little fire kindleth!

Rebekah actually seemed rather upbeat this morning when I spoke with her through the screen door. She says she is feeling closer to God by making sacrifices in order to obey his Word. By staying under the tarp through the storm this weekend, her faith will be made even more steadfast.

Brother I have to tell you that you are being to kind to her. When I built our home in Freehold, I had a 30'x 30' garden/ menstrual shed built at the rear of the lot.I had water and electricity ran to it . A full INDOOR bathroom with a small kitchen(I wont miss a meal ). I purchased a surplus Army cot for my wife, heck I even put a wood burning fire place in it. I gave her a brand new ax and all the wood she needed. She even had a small black and white TV so she could watch the 700 club. What did my kindness get me, nothing she ran off with two nigras.I can assure you that I will not be so kind to my next wife! I have removed all of the luxuries from the shed. From now on its 4 walls, no heat, a garden hose for water and 3 bales of straw to sleep on.

Re: Menstrual hut burned down. What to do with wife?

Well, like the title says... my wife's menstrual hut burned down last night, and the timing could not have been any worse. Rebekah gave birth to our fifth son last month, and her womb is going about its business of wasting eggs and bleeding all over the place during this period of inactivity. (As part of our agreement, Rebekah gets three months rest before we conceive again, as long as she bears me a son.)

So since the hut has been in disuse for many months until yesterday, it was a bit of a mess. There was a termite problem. Something had chewed off the end of the extension cord, so there was no electricity. Rebekah was reading the Bible by candlelight and fell asleep without putting it out, and the towel over the window caught fire. So in the middle of the night, she comes screaming and banging on the back door like some overgrown, overexcited hen. I told her to go wait in the woods and to be sure not to sit on anything but the ground, so as not to make objects in our yard likewise unclean.

My buddy Earl and I had the fire put out by about 4am, but it's a total loss. In a way, this is a good thing because I am so proud of Rebekah for being such wonderful help-meet that I was planning on building her a new menstrual hut anyways, complete with an electrical drop and a hookup to the septic tank. This just gives me a good reason to finally get off my duff and get 'ir done. On the other hand, Rebekah does not have a good place to sleep in the meantime. She ended up finishing off the night on a tarp in the woods, but they're saying a storm might be coming through later this week.

She can't stay in the house though. Leviticus 15:19-24 is very clear on this:

And if a woman have an issue, and her issue in her flesh be blood, she shall be put apart seven days: and whosoever toucheth her shall be unclean until the even.
And every thing that she lieth upon in her separation shall be unclean: every thing also that she sitteth upon shall be unclean.
And whosoever toucheth her bed shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even.
And whosoever toucheth any thing that she sat upon shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even.
And if it be on her bed, or on any thing whereon she sitteth, when he toucheth it, he shall be unclean until the even.
And if any man lie with her at all, and her flowers be upon him, he shall be unclean seven days; and all the bed whereon he lieth shall be unclean.

Earl says she can stay in his wife's menstrual hut, but his wife is also on her unclean time. I can't find any prohibitions in Scripture, but something just seems wrong about two bleeding, hormonal women spending the night together.

Any advice?

My advice, both of you become Muslim. We treat our women with kindness, compassion and love. We talk to them, treat them as people. Not treat them like animals as you do.

Re: Menstrual hut burned down. What to do with wife?

Brother Jedediah, do you perhaps have a garage she could stay in? Or even a basement or attic?

Keeping her separate doesn't necessarily mean she can't be in a part of your house; just not part you're going to be in during her unclean time.

Perhaps, instead of building her a glamorous menstrual shack -- frankly, that could cause her to become prideful, if it's nicer than the one Earl built for his wife -- it would make more sense to create a menstrual suite inside your house. I imagine it'd be more cost effective a solution, as it would already have electricity, heat, and (depending on your layout) an existing bathroom.

I would think a large cardboard box would do nicely. I'd hate for her uncleanness to get on anything worthwhile.

Re: Menstrual hut burned down. What to do with wife?

I guess I believe that there is more to the Bible. If you loved your wife, you would allow her to stay in your/her house. No matter what circumstances. God would forgive you.

You believe God forgives everything?

LUKE 12:10 And whosoever shall speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but unto him that blasphemeth against the Holy Ghost it shall not be forgiven.

MARK 3:29 But he that shall blaspheme against the Holy Ghost hath never forgiveness, but is in danger of eternal damnation.

MATTHEW 12: 31-32 Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men. And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come.

I believe in God, I pray to God, I read the Bible, what els could make you 'more' of a Christian? I know you do not state this but you sure are implying it.

There is no implication, friend. It is clearly stated that every who "believes only" will not be accepted into the Kingdom of Heaven.

Matthew 7:21-23
Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

Re: Menstrual hut burned down. What to do with wife?

From what I have been told the women in Canada are of hardy stock, they give birth on ice floes . I guess you are not as tough as I thought! I will cross Canadians off my list of potential brides.

If you want a Canadian that tough, I think you'd have to go with one of Brother Enoch's half-Eskimo ones.

[James Dewitt]

Re: Menstrual hut burned down. What to do with wife?

Well considering we live in Canada, I don't think she'd make it through the winter without electricity and a space heater. She also has a cot and winter sleeping bag out there.

Re: Menstrual hut burned down. What to do with wife?

If you ask me, we have been far to easy on the women folk.
Why do the need electricity or candles for that matter. They can read the Bible during day light hours and sleep when it gets dark.
Did Jesus have a blow up raft to sleep on, NO, she should be grateful for some straw. For goodness sakes man quit treating her like a child.

Re: Menstrual hut burned down. What to do with wife?

You are joking right? You are putting your wife outside, in a storm because she is "Dirty". I am amazed how almost 100% of the people on this forum are ignorant...I hope some day you all will see that how you are acting is not right. Your wife should be in her bed with her husband, not in the woods, cold with no one on her side...

I'm not understanding your issue here. The Bible clearly says that us women are unclean for 7 days of the month. Personally I enjoy my shed time, it's peaceful and gives me time to read my Bible and pray.

Do you have scripture to backup your point that I should be in the house? Because Brother Jedediah showed you clearly that us women are to be separated during our issue.

Oops, wrong area. Sorry Brothers, I'll leave now.

Could somebody PM me with a way to keep the mens section from showing up in my new posts?

[Jedediah]

Re: Menstrual hut burned down. What to do with wife?

Well, if you want to see what we arranged for the night, take a look at the picture Prof. Bessemer posted. The tarp had already been tainted, so we had Earl's wife (also on her unclean time) tie some cable between two trees and drape the tarp over it. I picked up a blow-up raft at Alco for $8, and Earl's wife weighed the edges of the tarp around the raft with some cinder blocks. Since Rebekah can obviously not be trusted with candles, I bought her a flashlight so that she can read the Bible.

Rebekah knows better than to sass me, but I can tell that she would like better accommodations. Earl's wife's 7 days will be up on Monday, and we can move Rebekah into her hut after that, but I'd still like a better solution. I hate to break the bank, but should I maybe consider getting her a room at the Piggett Motor Inn? Her womb has borne me many sons, after all...

Re: Menstrual hut burned down. What to do with wife?

Hmm, so it seems we have another "everyone goes to Heaven", "I don't have to obey God's Holy Word" Unitarian Universalist false Christian following a false Jesus of his own deluded imaginings.

I'll have an update on Rebekah's arrangement for tonight before bedtime... We're still sorting it out. I really should come up with something better for the remaining 5 days, though.
