I was formerly promiscuous. My wife was a virgin. I was then radically born-again. Then I fell into more sexual sin. Then I returned as a prodigal. Reading, studying, learning, praying. Grief and repentance over my wayward ways. We got to know each other for about a year...

@BasedDavePA Then you don't understand the point. I'd be glad to explain it to you in the meta-context.

@RealJRHughes I do understand. When people redeem themselves and come to Christ, that's amazing. Heaven rejoices when even one person does so. But that doesn't mean we have license to air out every dirty detail to the internet for some sort of approval.

@RealJRHughes Yeah bro, society treats men differently with different expectations placed on them. How is this novel? Did you just find this out. Male and female promiscuity has always been treated differently, frowned upon but still treated differently. Again, your post was performative.

@Ponderingpeon @Aatchely13 I was SA'd by a family friend. I turned to women to try to fill that hole. It could only have been filled with Christ. I wish I knew then what I know now.

@Aatchely13 @RealJRHughes Before I was married I was a "fast" girl. Broken, and looking for acceptance through sexual intimacy because I was never taught that my value was more than that as I had been SAed by my father. These people are judgmental and get offended when they judged.

@in_veritas_lux @OutlawRider6 Your point is asinine. I didn't dodge it. Your "point" is the pinnacle of modern pop-psych. It's brain rot that works online and sounds intelligent to other people who are perpetually online.

@OutlawRider6 @RealJRHughes I don’t wish for his downfall, but the naivety is off the charts for dudes like this. Could not refute my point, so he dodged it. Many such cases.

This signals to women that your wife got a husband who could attract other women. That other dudes post signals to men that his wife was promiscuous. One of these things has positive social proof, (even if immoral) the other is entirely downside.

@SirGainsuhlot Plot twist: my wife and I have a great marriage where we both share responsibilities and duties, while having assigned responsibilities and duties we handle ourselves.

@Jaboolie In your understanding of the context he was writing it, what does "more pure" mean? Can't say I'm dodging (I'm not btw) and then dodge yourself.

His entire point doesn't need to hinge on a point for it to be addressed. He's the one that included it, not me, lol. I asked you the question in the direct context it was stated. Falling back on leftist "pretend not to know what word means" to avoid being honest about your beliefs isnt a good look for a so-called pastor.

@Jaboolie Does his entire point hinge upon that statement? If you remove that point from the whole, does the whole collapse? If not, then it's not an integral part of the point. Further, you asked me a question devoid of context. Do you even know what he meant by "more pure"?

You're calling me bringing it up "bad faith" and not even *considering* it in any form in the context of the post is ignoring it by the definition of the word. The basis of debate is not "ignore a definitely stated point" and just repeat "bad faith bad faith" when anyone brings it up. If a point is made it must be defended or conceded. Which again, you refuse to be honest enough to do. In fact your commitment to being dishonest stifles any possible discussion to be had about any other point in the post.

@Jaboolie I'm not excluding it, I'm just not focusing on a sub point which can be removed and all the rest of his argument stands. This is the basis of debate, literally debate 101. If you want to contend with the meat of what he said, I'm here for it. Not a distraction.

@RealJRHughes You are literally excluding it from the argument, lmfao Again. You can't even be honest about something as simple as "yeah that wasn't a good thing to say, but the rest of the sentiment still stands." And you're supposed to be an example of a good born-again repentant?

@RealJRHughes If sharing her story with a audience she knows will mock her for it under the guise of “testimony,” then yes. So add “attention-seeking” to her resume, I guess. Typical. NotTheBee did a pretty good writeup on this; the “pearls before swine” reference was particularly relevant.

Op-ed: This Christian leader's post about a "formerly promiscuous" wife has gone mega-viral for all the wrong reasons. Let's talk about it. notthebee.com/t704c

@VolandyanVoland You can't spend the 2 minutes to read, the 2 minutes to comprehend the STATED purpose, and then the 1 minute of critical thinking to either agree with or form an objection to it. Brain rot.

@RealJRHughes @uLigmabalsach @JimStrabo You don't see how the words "I'm doing a series on tik tok "Christian" culture" can be construed as making a series of videos on tik tok about "Christian" culture? Nevertheless, nice deflection. Keep on kicking modern culture's favorite whipping boy. You're doing a bang-up job
