This is the 'big one'! For those who've heard 'you should really come to the summer retreat', this is it. After 2 years in Tennessee, we feel it's only fair to head back a little farther west to benefit the folks that usually drive farther. That means us East coast folks will need to save...

A Sapling, Plain and Vigorous - by A.M. Hickman (substack.com) Not marriage related, but a group of people (my anabaptist cousins) moving to form community, where the land is cheap, always draws my interest. Too bad it's too cold for me up there. Tennessee still on my mind...

A Comparison of Sexual Function, Psychological Status, and Sociodemographic Characteristics of Turkish Men within Polygamous and Monogamous Marriages - PMC (nih.gov) Thanks to @JonB for finding this. Interesting in being a science study only, no judgement. I hope they do the suggested...

With all the winter retreats, you may be thinking, 'does this BF retreat guy have a job'? Well, no, he doesn't right now - that may change, so trying to take advantage of it now. So I'd like to hear from you if you'd consider coming to an April 12th hotel retreat, and are from the above...

We now have a location for this get-together - it'll be near Mount Dora, which is northwest of Orlando. We will be meeting at our house (the Benders), we have room for a big crowd during the day (may need to rent some chairs), but unfortunately you can't all stay overnight with us! So that...

I didn't see this link posted anywhere, in a quick search. Polygamy is rare around the world | Pew Research Center Point #7 is the most interesting, and that is now 3 years out of date. (Article is 12/2020) % in US that say "morally acceptable": 2003: 7%, 2020: 20%. (Thanks 'Big Love'!, I...

On a whim, asked Dall-E to generate an image with just this prompt: "a traditional family with 2 wives". It took a long time, I wondered if it was going to say "sorry, that's not traditional". But it generated 4, 3 of which looked obviously Muslim to me (one of those had apparently 5 wives...

We are joining with some other patriarchal-focused groups, and are setting aside the 2nd Friday of every month for prayer, and fasting, for culture changes related to God’s family order. Specifically, we will be praying for the acceptance and decriminalisation of plural marriage as a Biblical...

This guy normally posts patriarchal stuff, was surprised to see this poll today, in case anyone wants to vote/respond: (6) Ancient Masculinity 👑 on X: "This should be an interesting poll. According to the Bible, is it wrong for a man to have more than one wife? Please repost and ensure you back...

So I know we announced this date as Las Vegas - but it turns out that several sporting events in January, and preparation for the Super Bowl in Vegas in Feb, meant that prices at decent off-the-strip places were much higher than expected. After consideration of alternatives, we are doing this...

OK, so this isn't BF putting this on, but it'd be cool if someone we know could attend and tell us about it. Better get on it, it's next weekend! https://www.ghafla.com/ke/polygamy-conference-to-be-held-in-nairobi/...

Just an update that this retreat is happening, in just over a month. Nice hotel is booked with a big meeting room, and we have a strong group of folks committed already! We'll be just west of St Louis, if you are flying in we may be able to help you avoid a rental. I hope to meet some new...

I'm pretty jaded over politics by now, but some things can still really piss me off. This did this morning: https://hslda.org/post/romeike There's a petition to sign. I'd like to see media coverage of them going to Mexico and walking back across.

Many have asked about us doing a regional retreat nearer to them, and thanks to the success of the summer retreat, we are ready to have our biggest schedule of retreats in-between-summers so far. Here's a preview of what we should be announcing in the newsletter in the next few days. Note that...

https://route60.movie/ The subject locations here will be more familiar to some of you then to me (@PeteR), but I have a different connection to this: my sister (who's becoming a rather well-known watercolor artist in retirement, getting a number of magazine covers) did the portrait artwork...

Adding this here, since some interested may not have received the prayer email (feel free to PM me an address if you want to be on the prayer emails for Ron): Greetings Biblical Families prayer warriors. Many of you have seen the miracle that God has worked in keeping Ron with us, and with his...

Seeing this everywhere on right-leaning Twitter/X today: The new 'protest' song. Funny how much things have changed since 60s protest music.

Statement of Focus for Biblical Families Every so often in any organization it becomes necessary to consider where you are, how you got there, and if a course correction of any magnitude is necessary. That’s where Biblical Families is right now. After prayer and deliberation, we think some...

Just discovered the brand new #1 Christian album in the US tonight (http://www.itunescharts.net/us/charts/albums/christian-gospel/) Brian Sauve's "Even Dragons Shall Him Praise". Wow, it is different. Mostly Psalms. I'm particularly stuck on Psalm 144. Everyone's gearing up for war? It's...
