Here is a thought = was the law of chastity/ no sex until marriage an old form of "birth control" ?

HippieChick58 comments on May 5, 2021:

No, remember the church frowns on birth control. More babies is better, and with the history of infant mortality, families had to have lots of kids to make sure at least some made it to maturity. And then there is the issue of farm hand/workers that don't have to be paid for their labor except in food and lodging. In some instances having a child without a spouse was advertising that the woman was fertile and could bear babies.

Bill and Melinda Gates announce they are getting divorced

HippieChick58 comments on May 3, 2021:

The disadvantage of being a famous person is you get no privacy in your personal life. I don't care, and wish for them an amicable split. The reality is marriage is hard, and who you are in the beginning is not who you are many years later. They did their time and raised their kids. Now they deserve the privacy to work out their issues and get on with their lives.

I went to an open air Farmer's Market just before closing time, no crowds. I also occasionally visit fabric stores, grocery stores, and hardware stores. I have not been in a restaurant, but will drive through or pick up. I'm not ready to trust other people yet, I see too many people not wearing masks, or not wearing masks correctly. I have been with family without masks. I'm willing to wait til things get better to go into crowds.

People have intuitive feelings about how the word cult should be used, even when an organization or movement meets the criteria of a new religion*. Take, for example, Scientology and Mormonism. Both were new religious movements that have evolved into a general understanding or definition of a religion. However, according to Pew Research, non-Mormons in the U.S. are more likely to label Mormonism as a cult.
