I don't know, maybe if you had a son who was... less than handsome and not so well built, he'd have more of an appreciation for... inner beauty. Bertha is a good Christian gal, meek and submissive. She is a darn good cook and loves to read her Bible. As far as Jesus is concerned, she'd make an excellent wife, but sinful vain secular qualities such as appearance lay prejudice against her.


Now, take a look at my other daughter.
http://data.okinny.heypo.net/image/l...8e157c6ee5.jpg
Rebecca. She's 19 and beautiful by secular standards. But by Biblical standards she's ugly as a donkey's anus! She was our first child, and we weren't as good at finding the relevant Bible verses on childrearing (by the time we had our fifth and last, Kenny, we practically had them memorized). I tried everything over the years to knock some fear of God into her. I tried yelling at her, I tried beating her with a belt, I tried making her sleep in the attic, I tried locking her out in the yard overnight in the winter, but nothing worked. She never took to the Lord Jesus. "Put down that science book and pick up the Bible, nerd!" I'd say. But she wouldn't listen. I don't know how many times I had to take copies of Harry Potter out of her hands and consign them to the fire. All the little harlot wanted to do was listen to Avril Lavigne and Green Day CDs and do homework and play soccer and volunteer at the animal shelter. What a wanton little delinquent!


And, when she turned 18 last year, instead of getting married and pregnant, she up and ran off to college! Said she wants to become a counsellor to help survivors of child abuse. Can you believe that nonsense? A woman with a job? I believe she's even abandoned Jesus and become a Democrat! I've tried rebuking her and to bring her back to God, but she's stopped taking my calls and has even blocked me on the Face Book.


So the moral of the story is that a pretty face can hide an evil mind. All the boys salivated over her, and she will, unfortunately, burn in Hell for eternity. Bertha repels suitors like a roadkill skunk, but she is a Christian and will be welcomed by Our Lord with open arms.

This is not the Grindr or Penetratr or whatever application or whatever that the classified ads have turned into and the harlots are now using. You two need to keep your private part businesses among yourselves and praise the Donald. And Jesus. Of course. Jesus, too. :rebuke:

Sir, I was only trying to marry off my daughter, but I humbly apologize for wasting your bandwith by transacting private business. It won't happen again!


Praise Jesus? I do every day, multiple times! And I am a God-fearing Christian! I follow Leviticus 20:13 (except for the part about killing them, which would be a violation of secular law, which Jesus commands us to follow in Romans 13:1). I have never visited either of those faggot sites! Praise Jesus and his right hand Donald!

If your daughter is having a troubled social life, I recommend Brother Trents advice. http://www.landoverbaptist.net/showp...57&postcount=8

The key to a happy youth is conformism. There is no "I" in "teen".

I don't see what a teenage girl needs with a "social life." After the problems we went through with our first daughter, we decided to homeschool Bertha. After all, no reason for a girl to go to school. My wife Doris teaches her all the essentials: cooking, cleaning, Bible-reading, sitting quietly in the dark, prayer, and childrearing. She practically raised our youngest, Kenny (though she did drop him on his head a few times). No girl needs to interact with anyone but her family. A woman's proper place is in the home.


My problem is finding a proper husband for her. Thank you for the resource, though. Bless you!

Ooh, this looks promising. Thank you. I will pray that Jesus kills you in your sleep tonight and calls you to your reward. You look as old as Methuselah, sir.

They have gotten too lazy for even that. I don't know this for a fact, but a lot of people are saying the kids will only hook up with their step siblings now.

It's really ruined Brady Bunch reruns for me.

I hate to tell you this, but they're even too lazy for incest. This article (from the Clinton Nonsense Network, so possibly fake news) says that fewer and fewer kids are even bothering to engage in fornication at all, let alone Godly post-marriage procreation. The unspoken implication is that they are now engaging in unprecedented levels of self-abuse.


Just imagine it. Attractive young teenage and twentysomething men and women, lying in their rooms alone and removing their clothes, pleasuring themselves until they commit, in the case of males, the sin of Onan, or in the case of females, the sin of female orgasm. Then lying there, as naked as the day God made them, in a pool of sweat. Sickening! It makes one wretch!

The Brady Bunch was nothing more than an incestuous fantasy put to film by the Jews and liberals in Hollywood. Three boys and three girls, unrelated and unmarried, all living under the same roof in sin. Absolutely disgusting and vile. One cannot help but imagine those teenage pseudo-siblings engaged in all manner of depravity when viewing the program. And, of course, they're not really siblings, so this gives the viewer the impression that it's all okay. But subliminally it tells the audience that it's okay to fornicate with your siblings.


It should be banned.

Every day, women face many different stressors in both their personal and professional lives. Feeling sad, lonely and scared are normal reactions, however, for individuals who are diagnosed with depression, these feelings tend to be more severe as they persist.

Christian women don't get stressed. They trust God and their husbands to provide for their needs.

Phil 4:6-7
6 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.
7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.


Quote:

These are normal feelings for the unbeliever, but not for the Christian. And Christian women don't get depression – or any other mental illness.

The unbeliever knows that she deserves to face the full fierceness of God's wrath.

Rom 1:18-20, 26, 32
18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;
19 Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.
20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:
[. . .]
26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:
[. . .]
32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.


As a result, she lives in fear of the day she will meet her Maker.

Heb 2:14-15
14 Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil;
15 And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage.


This causes a lot of psychic tension. The unbelieving woman's ability to deal with this tension will depend on how good she is at "suppressing the truth in unrighteousness". She may turn to prescription meds or promiscuous sex or lesbianism. If she is unable to dull the tension effectively, she will succumb to depression or some other mental illness. Madness is the malady of the unbeliever.

Eccl 9:3b [Y]ea, also the heart of the sons of men is full of evil, and madness is in their heart while they live, and after that they go to the dead.

The Christian woman, however, is free from God's judgement and the anxiety associated with the anticipation of it. Her heart is filled with love, and perfect love casts out all fear from her heart.

1 Jn 4:18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.

God has renewed her mind so that she can no longer suffer from depression or any other mental illness or unsoundness of mind.

2 Tim 1:7 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.

She cannot be overwhelmed with sadness, because God has given her unspeakable joy.

1 Pet 1:18 Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory:

The reason more women are suffering from depression and anxiety nowadays is because more of them are damned. Christianity is on the decline in the US and across the West, along with the God-given institutions of marriage and family.

If women want to be healed of their anxiety and depression they need to be born again. If God reverses the current trend and brings revival, we would see a fall in depression and anxiety rates, I'm certain of it. Women would walk away from their "careers" and return to their kitchens. They would submit to their husbands and make babies. All would be right with the world. I'd like to see more women working out their Salvation with fear and trembling (Phil 2:12).

I'm not stressed because the Bible says God is taking care of me. "Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father. But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. So do not fear; you are more valuable than many sparrows." (Matthew 10:29-31).

While Fear Of The Lord is a good thing (Deuteronomy 6:24, Psalm 31:19, Psalm 67:4, Psalm 112:1, Psalm 115:13, Psalm 128:1-4, Proverbs 10:27, Proverbs 19:23, Proverbs 22:4, Proverbs 28:14, Psalm 33:18-19, Psalm 34:7, Psalm 85:9, Psalm 145:19, Nehemiah 1:11, Psalm 147:11, Proverbs 15:16, Ecclesiastes 8:12-13, Luke 1:50, Psalm 25:12, Ecclesiastes 7:18, Isaiah 33:6, Psalm 103:11, Psalm 60:4, Psalm 115:11, Proverbs 14:26-27, Malachi 3:16-17, Zephaniah 3:7, Malachi 4:2, Revelation 11:18, Psalm 34:9, Psalm 111:5) this anxiety is different.


Some theories:
1. Mainstream theory: Social media plus a culture that teaches bad thinking habits, see The Coddling Of The American Mind.

2. My Thought: Girls feel anxious when there are no strong men around to defend them. Feminist-raised soyboys make their female peers feel defenseless.

3. My Thought: Porn is horrifying. But activists don't send their mobs after porn stars because activists choose their targets by vulnerability, in particular vulnerability to shaming. But Porn is shameless, so porn wins in our survival-of-the-shameless environment.
4. My Thought: Feminist activists have gotten a lot better at their job, and/or communicating with girls via social media. Activists work by scaring the brains out of people (activists even used to call themselves "Agitators").
5. Leftist: Rape culture and male backlash have suddenly appeared out of nowhere, and you can't blame to left for failing to prepare for this completely predictable trend. (Interesting how Leftists always promise Utopia, and then once things fall apart they blame backlash/counter-revolutionaries/Kulak wreckers/CIA plots. Why not warn us ahead of time?)
Well, that's all the theories I can think of right now, but I want a proper Biblical look at this phenomenon.

Whatever happened, it had to happen very recently, very fast - this is why social media and post-9/11 safetyism stand out as likely culprits. Everything else happened slowly, unless there is some sort of "tipping point" or "critical mass" thing going on. But The Coddling Of The American Mind is not exactly heavy on Biblical references. I won't believe it until God says it.

Time to consult the :lord-fancy:.


Maybe it's because we're told (most) of the time we are objects, don't get treated with respect, are seen as meek by most men? Or the fact we are degraded by our peers constantly and forced into a mold we don't fit? Because most of the time for lots of girls and boys its a lack of a mixture of things.

That's right! :) In the Bible, us ladyfolk have a very special role as being nothing more than objects for man's possession, for him to use for ever whim and wily. :D How amazing is that?

Deuteronomy 5:21 Neither shalt thou desire thy neighbour's wife, neither shalt thou covet thy neighbour's house, his field, or his manservant, or his maidservant, his ox, or his ass, or any thing that is thy neighbour's.

We girls can be anything! Even spoils of war! :lol:

Numbers 31:32-3532 And the booty, being the rest of the prey which the men of war had caught, was six hundred thousand and seventy thousand and five thousand sheep,
33 And threescore and twelve thousand beeves,
34 And threescore and one thousand asses,
35 And thirty and two thousand persons in all, of women that had not known man by lying with him


Jesus wants us to be meek. It's our inherent nature bestowed within by GOD.

1 Peter 3:4 But let it be the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price.



Tell me, what's more attractive to a man? Being demure and pure, with skin as white as snow, or being a noisy, hairy fat bulldyke flapping our lips every hour of the day?

Usually, it's a lack of JESUS. :angry: Liberal parents raise unChristian kids without Christ's guiding Love, leaving the kid to think they have independent wants and motives beyond what God wants, only to discover chasing these wanton desires only leads to misery and unfulfillment.
