Good Morning Everybody

I would go to church with someone I’m dating but not as a first date, maybe after we have dated awhile. The only problem I would have would be this….if there was a dramatic contradiction in behavior between your dating persona and your church persona. Meaning….if you act like an octopus or a sex starved maniac all the time and in church you shouting, foaming at the mouth and rolling round on the altar. That would be a issue for me and I would be looking at you sideways.

I do believe that faith/religious beliefs play a role in serious relationships. Being that I too was raised in church, my religious beliefs are a big part of who I am and I can’t deny who I am or what I belief.

roll tide!!! morning folks, this weekend was a high in my household. if you’re not a college football fan you’re probably wondering what the hell i speak of, but the crimson tide of the university of alabama remain undefeated and have secured their spot in the sec championship game against the florida gators. this is going to be a great one!

on topic: i invited my girl to church with me about a month into our dating. she was not reluctant and she later said she felt closer to me b/c i shared that part of myself with her. we are both christians, and were both reared in the church. although neither of us regularly attend now, we still fully believe the bible to be the written word of god.

Good Day.

Brunson Good game, i must say Alabama did their thing Saturday. Rashad broke records. You think they had enough guards for Saban? dag! The Texas Tech Raiders put it down against OSU. ohh.

Lol @ China Doll. I had a vision when you mentioned the “octopus hands” right after a worship service. …that was funny.

I would definitly ask a person i’m dating to join me to church services. I would hope he would enjoy my diverse church family, and he probably would have alot of questions after a visit to my church. We are always doing somthing outside of regular services.

Hope everyone had a great weekend.

How many of you have worshipped with someone in an early courtship, and how did it affect your relationship?

I did this with my son’s father when I met him he was(how do I say this..) on the cusp of becoming a Black Muslim..not quite in the bow tie and suit but exploring the options. Not sure what happen with that but he was rather militant.(think that was part of the attraction for me) I was raised Southern baptist(which means you cuss all saturday, and drink beer after 1:00 on Sunday-jk but not really) any whoo his miltant stance on God and Black people was rather attractive to me. So I agreed to attend services with him at a “alternative church”( I am not naming the church because I am not in the mood to debate today—the Steelers lost)anywhoo the whole service was done in the dark and they change the words to the lord’s prayer.-which I found a bit odd and unsettling. After “service” as we got in the car, we both burst out laughing and I told him check that one off the list been there and done that. He agreed that experience was a little too deep even for him.

If you aren’t particularly religious, would you be uncomfortable if someone invited you along?

No, I would not be uncomfortable unless he was into snake handling or something.

And lastly, do you agree that “the couple who prays together, stays together?

Nope I think that while pray is important in a family and marriage. You had better be willing to put in more than just a stop at the altar. It is going to require compromise and work and that means putting aside real human emotions and working on not just praying your partner right but actually getting in the trenches and shoveling right along with them. Yes, I think it is wonderful to spend quiet time in meditation. But, if you open your eyes and the person praying with you is praying you drop dead then it might be time to get off your knees and get to work on the real issues.

Ohh yeah..Good Morning All.

I never “church dated” with someone early in a relationship. However, you felt comfortable with it roll with it. If you didn’t feel comfortable doing such a thing, you should not worship.

There are just too many “rules”. The only real rule that I followed was be true to myself. I have to live with myself everyday. There is no breaking up/divorcing myself.

Kym

A few weeks back I told a friend that I thought that the Giants and Steelers would make it to Tampa for the Superbowl.

However, I think Ben has problem between the ears right now. I’ve heard rumblings from a few folks up there that Ben is worried about making mistakes. In other words, he is playing “not to lose” instead of playing “to win”. They aren’t the same thing. Listening to his post came comments yesterday, it kind of sounds like those rumblings are right. Ben has more interceptions (11) than touchdowns (10). You can’t get to the Superbowl that way.

BTW, the NFC is back. The AFC looks like the weaker conference this season.

Shiver me timbers.

This reminds me of a chick I met about 12 years ago. We hung out one saturday and had a good time. I let her know I wanted some azz and she said if I go to church with her the next morning she’d give me some. Anyway, I’m sitting in church the next day wondering what just went down.

Thing is she was all grabby grabby like we were a couple or something. WTF???

I don’t know what the significance of church is for women but it must be strong. Some of the foulest chicks I’ve ever met would screw you over all week but wouldn’t miss sunday services.

When chicks talk about church now I have one response and it comes out real fast and loud. Hell no!!!

The good thing is now alot more chicks have realized they can’t live foul lives and go to church on sunday to balance it all out, so they just stopped going to church. LOL

I don’t care how tough he feels he needed to sit out yesterday and rest that shoulder. I know Leftwich is not the best QB and he is injury prone but he is seasoned enough to know when to let the ball go. sigh I am trying to see if I can budget it right to go see them play in Tennesse..on Dec 21st.

NFL tickets just aren’t cheap period. The Falcons have some of the lowest prices, but I’m sure that they will go up in the next couple of years.

NFL seems to be pricing itself out of the market for the average joe. Don’t get me started on playoff or superbowl tickets. However, it is part of the deal with revenue sharing as the NFL has. Otherwise, Green Bay and Buffalo would have had to move a long time ago. They are in small markets and would have had to raise their prices too high.

The Bills are talking about moving to Toronto, now, from Buffalo anyways.

Two words would have kept me away from Daunte Culpepper: Detroit Lions

The Lions are playing like a team with no pride, and they traded away one of their best players WR Roy Williams. They fired their GM (Matt Millen) about 3 weeks ago. Oakland only wins the worst franchise label over Detroit because Oakland’s problem is the one person that you can’t fire: The owner.

Now, I think that Dallas has 2 players named Roy Williams on their roster

See, a college educated but reformed hoe will see a nice college educated guy and want to lure him.That church invite is a trick to want to pretend to look decent on the part of the chic.If the guy has no experience on dating,he assumes that the way she is about church is the way she really is.And he’s done from henceforth! Ladies are not stupid coz they know what guys will ask for once a relationship is in its early stages:AZZ.So to try and preempt that request,they invite u to church,thats a sublime restraining order.LMAO! We can only go to church tgether if the relatiosnship heats up and i have slapped that azz a cple of times,not be4!! Only then will i let the church deacon have his say coz my stamp is on the pudsy already!

Morning Blog Fam

I am careful to get the religious stuff out the way before we even start dating. Meaning, I find out what his religion/beliefs are up front. I am Christian and not open to changing faiths, so it’s no need in me looking crazy later saying I’m all in love and don’t know what to do cause he’s Muslim, Jehovah’s Witness, Jew, etc! I’m also not a fanatic about church either, I’m actually more spiritual than religious and I don’t go to church every single Sunday and I’m not a Bible thumper.

I dated a guy briefly that had been raised most of his life Muslim until his parents divorced when he was 14. His mother promptly went back to being Baptist after the divorce, but his dad was such a fanatical Muslim it just soured him on religion all together - to the point he was almost atheist. He used to tell me it was not that he didn’t believe in God, he just didn’t need God. When I would say OMG about something, he would say “don’t be bringing God into this”. This did not sit well with me at all and I know it would not have boded well with my family. We parted ways, definitely not “equally yoked”.

I have gone to church with most guys I’ve dated, but only invited one guy to mine, other than my current SO. I don’t bring every random dude to church with me, just like I don’t bring them all around my family unless it is very serious. I’ve only been close to marrying one other guy, so that’s why I invited him to church.

My going to church with the other guys did not make a difference one way or the other in our relationship. It did not really make us closer or anything. We were not truly committed to each other so all the church in the world was not going to change that.

My current SO is Baptist and I am Presbyterian. The only thing I have had to kind of get used to is that Presbyterians stay in church 1 hour, hour and a half tops. Some Baptists try to have you there all day. SO’s church is a happy medium and I love going because his pastor is funny and uplifting. During the time the Rev. Wright stuff was abuzz, SO’s pastor got up to preach one Sunday but announced that if anyone was thinking about running for public office in the future it would probably be best that they left. I started to stand up and act like I was leaving as a joke! He didn’t pull a Rev. Wright that Sunday, but he surely put it down!

Of course, the family that prays together has a better chance of staying together, but prayer is only one element. The prayer needs to be put into action for how you lead your life and treat each other.

Somehow, during my drunk rebellious college years, I end up eloping with a another rebellious drunk SB. We don’t practice our faith in our actions or behaviors. And our relationship did not end up working at all. Now I am back at square one and am dating someone where we pray together, and struggle with temptation of premarital sex as we are both grown consenting adults-and have of course partaken.

3) SD lost Shawne Merriman for the year. Major defensive loss.

Truth Obama has already said he is going to overturn some of the Bush admin polices. The problem with this one with the Treasury is that was not a decision Bush made the bailout was a act of Congress, and Congress in their haste to pass something—anything didn’t do their homework. Agencies like the Treasury(IRS) operate under the power that Congress gives them and since Congress has no clue what those powers are all they can do now is sit back and go wait..we didnt mean for you to do that.

To add to the massive comments about how Obama would handle the “Bail Out”.

Ralph Nader was on Fox News and said Barack Obama choice, basically is whether he’s going to be Uncle Sam for the people of this country, or Uncle Tom for the giant corporations. <——Are you serious?!?!?

Not only that, after being called out on it by FN anchor Shepard Smith giving Nader, a chance to apologize and take it back, Nader said he wouldn’t.

This kind of thinking is classic of ppl being reduced to ignorant comments to the President elect, as he is black . I really can’t wait to see what they say if Obama puts a basketball court in the White House, while Sasha and Malia draw hop-scotchs on the front sidewalks.

• We the people should be up in arms but we’re so passive it’s useless. *

I’ve said that for years. Americans care more about what is goin’ in Sean Comb’s most recent reality show than things that actually affects them on a day to day basis.

I know all about Paulson. I worked a paralegal representing financial institutions particularly foreclosure, disposessory and some SEC things. I’m pretty familiar with Goldman Sachs. I know that bankers are greedy. Lawyers get the grief, but we take an oath to zealously represent our clients.

They are the ones that pushed for deregulation and subprime lending. The like the potential for the higher interest rates.

All you need to know about dirty bankers is Nationsbank (now Bank of America) and the shady actions of (NationsCredit). It was both discriminatory and heinous.

Sorry Darrell but Bank of America is a dirty financial instution

Church as a first date? Nope, not here. Have I invited anyone? Nope and I don’t recall being invited. I did date a guy who often talked about how much he hated church but believed in God. He always spoke of how hypocritical the people are, but never seemed to understand that people outside of the church were hypocritical as well. Although, I loved him very much (we dated off/on for many years), when he did want to talk marriage I’d found out I was pregnant with my current (we now have 2 children and this fool doesn’t want to get married…that another blog in itself).

Anyway, I’ve dated men really into church and those that never went to church. And for the most part, they’ve all had good hearts. And had I been smart, I would have been with one of them and not the knucklehead I’m with now (again, another blog all in itself).

I’ve heard you can find big freaks in the church. I find that funny, especially when I think of some of the women I grew up with. I wasn’t raised in the church but my mom later thought she needed to force me. The effect wasn’t the same but luckily for her I didn’t turn out like those women raised in the church.

I don’t think church as a date (first, early on, or later) is a bad idea. But I think two people should simply enjoy the experience and not read into it. Men will do anything for some tail. And women do use the ‘God Fearing’ quote when they simply don’t understand what it means. Heck, many of them probably still use the table of contents to look up the scriptures. Lol, I do but I know I need work.

With that being said, I do believe in prayer. I have a church home (full of hypocrits and cliques) and believe in fellowship, but much of my fellowship does come from outside of the church. My pastor is awesome but lately I’ve been lazy…really lazy.

My mom says I should be equally yoked and that the reason my children’s father and backed away from marriage after two beautiful girls. I had real hope because I do love him but you can only take so much drama from one person. At this point I can’t see marrying him when nothing will change. Church doesn’t change a person. He or she has to want to change and seek help from the church by attending, believing, and understanding what it means.

Finally, win or lose, I hate the Falcons. Hope everyone enjoys their day.

Man…it’s no fun having to work some days. I miss out on some good topics!

I will try to remain unbiased with my position as much as possible :)

How many of you have worshipped with someone in an early courtship, and how did it affect your relationship?

If you are indeed serious about your religious beliefs, then it’s a great idea to share in this experience with someone you see potential with. At the very least, you may have the opportunity to open someone’s eyes to something God is calling them to. Blanca and Roland may not work out long-term, but their experience together may be a pivotal moment in his religious growth. At the end of the day we must recognize that it’s not always about us :)

Do you agree that “the couple who prays together, stays together?”

Yes…the more time you spend praying and sharing a common religious/relationship experience, the less time you spend focused on your own selfish/personal desires.

It’s hard to pray and cuss someone out at the same time! I’ve used prayer in the midst of some intense discussions and things calmed down dramatically. It works in friendships, relationships and marriages.

Hey Peeps….

Awww church, one of my old fav dating locations. Back in the day, I would enjoy taking a bf to my church… just to really see their reaction. My fams chuuch is one of the “holy rollers” localle so it was pure entertatinment for me to take someone on a nice packed Sunday. Then, afterwards, my aunts, cousins, uncle and general congregation would mildly grill em. Hilarious. Back then, cause I was young and they were involved, I needed to know that they could handle them back then without being disrespectful or antagonistic. Being able to let people’s intensity, about something that you may or may not agree with, not translating into an issue.

I remember one bf and his cousin just sat there and laughed their azzes off… LOL in church. Not cool, but, I understood.

I wanted someone I knew would basically neva let em see you sweat… So I guess it was a small test, but since chuuch was very much apart of my life whether I liked it or not I thought it was necessary… so… it was what it was…

Martin Luther King was the last person to try and represent us and you see what happened to him, and us. In some instances we’re worse than before, minus our recent elections. Now we’re divide to the point of being powerless.

I see a big disconnect between dating as presented by the blog most of the time, and going to church as a dating experience — or even taking in a church service as a way of getting to better know a person that you’re dating.

Now, going to church won’t hurt you, depending on the church — there are plenty of charlatan-ran operations calling themselves churches out there — but there’s a better way to go about it, I think.

Start by going yourself, go to numerous churches until you find one that you like, regardless of the reason(s) you might like it. Keep in mind there is no perfect fit as far as churches are concerned. Join church activities, a Sunday School class, a Bible study class. Go to social events sponsored by the church. Find out what a Godly relationship would really be like.

THEN, after all that, if you find someone that interests you, your criteria for whether you’d invite them to visit your church with you, or whether you’d like to visit their church, and what you’d bring to that and get from that will be different from that portrayed so far today.

You’ll be better off personally for the experience, and you’ll be better equipped for the dating scene and what it brings.

Okay fellow and ladies tell me what you think of this one..

Feminists around the world have reacted with horror to a new line of lingerie that comes equipped with a GPS tracking system. The ‘find me if you can’ range of underwear has been described as a modern-day, high-tech chastity belt. ‘It is outrageous to think that men can buy this, programme it and give it to their partners and then monitor them,’ said Claudia Burghart, leader of a Berlin feminist group.’It is nothing more than a chastity belt for insecure men.’ Lingerie maker Lucia Lorio of Brazil says her design targets the ‘modern, techno-savvy woman’.

The lingerie combination set consists of lace bodice, bikini bottom and faux pearl collar, with the GPS device nestled in the see-through part of the bodice next to the waist. ‘This collection… is a wink to women and a challenge to men because, even if she gives him the password to her GPS, she can always turn it off,’ Lorio said.

I am white and more conservative than not, though I’m fairly liberal on social issues. Mainly, I believe government has no business interfering in people’s private lives. Anyone who hates Obama is stupid. We’d better all hope he does a great job. And, I think he will certainly be far better than what we have now … he knows how to think.

Truth real recognize real, that’s all. Some haven’t realized that fact.

Kym I will admit. I never thought I would make even a half way decent father. These past three month have really tested me.

Hang in their Alvin!

Truth: No one is stating Blanca is setting it out you are jumping to conclusions!

Blanca seems appears to be open,honest,intelligent and a lot of fun to be with! I know if you are not just a dog a real man can enjoy being with a real woman!

To Demi: You are correct about the black republicans you would think President elect Obama took away the wing tips shoes or something!

I have not seen such hate since the civil rights movement!

The Truth I usually find your comments amusing, but you at times cross the line. This is notice that your comments will heretofore be edited and should you repeat attacks, you will no longer be allowed to post with the MIA community. It’s just a blog bro - why all the hate?
