I'd be willing to bet those "protestants" are more of the "born-again", bible-thumping, Pentecostal sort and not from the mainline prot churches such as Angelicans or Methodists.
But I know what you're talking about, I've been set up more than once in my lifetime by those groups. They always seem to lure you in with food.
Then it's break out the bibles and tambourines. these type are very cultish and really are no different sometimes than being surrounded by a bunch of "moonies".
An interesting thing is when they come close enough to see my crucifix they really don't know how to react to it, most of the time they take a glance and move on.
It is really suprising sometimes to see just how many are intimidated by the Crucifix.
That is not a coincidence.

To defend oneself, one must also be ready to die. There is little such readiness in a society raised in the cult of material well-being. Nothing is left, then, but concessions, attempts to gain time, and betrayal.

Your problem is, you need to take a firmer hand with the wife. After about 5 minutes, you should have stood up, headed toward the door, stopped about halfway there, looked back at her and said, "Are you coming?" and then kept going. She would've gotten the message, and known who wears the pants in the family.
Women are a lot like dogs. They just need to be whacked on the nose with a rolled up newspaper once in awhile and they'll learn. Metaphorically speaking of course.
Are you still in the seminary, Doc? Because with that kind of sensitivity, you might be more suited to marriage... Doc is spot on. I agree with him: sometimes a husband needs to man-up, otherwise he'll never be respected. I agree that the husband needs to man up and ought to exercise prudent dominion over his family (that's his job after all - and keep in mind that when a wife doesn't show proper deference to her husband it's often because he doesn't exercise his dominion well or often enough). That said, comparing someone's wife to a dog is completely inappropriate. The wife is of one flesh with her husband (to say nothing of being a creature of God with an immortal soul) and is obviously of far greater inherit dignity that any animal. While I believe that I agree with the basic sentiments Doc was trying to express, I must say I take great issue with the imagery applied in his post. Good grief! Doc was speaking metaphorically. I'm aware. As I said, I agree with the basic sentiments he was expressing, but I don't like the idea of comparing a man's wife to a dog. |

Personally, I think it was a good analogy.

"THE LORD is my light and my salvation, whom shall I fear? The Lord is the protector of my life: of whom shall I be afraid?" (Psalm 26:1)
"And we, too, being called by His will in Christ Jesus, are not justified by ourselves, nor by our own wisdom, or understanding, or godliness, or works which we have wrought in holiness of heart; but by that faith through which, from the beginning, Almighty God has justified all men; to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen." — Clement, bishop of Rome
"I love truth," says he, "and not sects. I am sometimes a peripatetic, a stoic, or an academician, and often none of them; but—always a Christian. To philosophise is to love wisdom; and the true wisdom is Jesus Christ. Let us read the historians, the poets, and the philosophers; but let us have in our hearts the gospel of Jesus Christ, in which alone is perfect wisdom and perfect happiness." — Petrarch
