Biblical Families is not a dating website. It is a forum to discuss issues relating to marriage and the Bible, and to offer guidance and support, not to find a wife. Click here for more information.
Sometimes, I feel like I’m living inside a snow globe. It is so pretty. 
And someone keeps turning your whole world upside down and shaking it for fun?Sometimes, I feel like I’m living inside a snow globe. It is so pretty.
Just watched a silly movie called Ratpocalypse. Ridiculous, for the most part, but the parallels with the Christ message, albeit heavily slanted in a works orientation, were interesting despite being blatant.
Hashtag - me too

Just wondering how things are going, my brother.
Thanks for asking. I'm standing tall. With Kristin, I have emphasized that learning that she has returned to dragging her heels only discourages open communication between the two of us, because it unconsciously discourages me from seeing her as a best friend with whom I can openly share everything that goes through my mind. I worked in some comments about the tendency to knuckle under to social approval related to polygamy during a conversation with our younger son in which he was seeking my guidance about how to rid himself of his incessant fears about how other people see him. I've also had a productive conversation with our youngest daughter, and we'll be seeing our other daughter and the same son this coming weekend in Mississippi, so I suspect the topic will emerge.
The whole thing has served to further focus my mind on determining how I should be addressing not only my family's approach to the potential for a plural family but my own approaches. Perhaps entirely coincidentally, I had an epiphany one morning this week about there being missing in me a sufficient degree of generosity toward people in my life. In a certain sense, I'm asking my close family members to be less stingy, so it only makes sense that I should demonstrate what it means to be less stingy myself, right?
Generally, though, I'm doing great. I regularly assert that I have the life of Reilly, a life so full of blessings that complaints couldn't possibly have room to breed. If God is a socialist, I will never have another wife, because I already have an unfair overbalance of blessings!
Sounds like a copy of the Dissenter Browser, which has been doing the same thing for a couple of years now.
However I have a bad feeling about this new one, which may be irratonal and unfair as it's mainly my first impression when I read their first paragraph on their home page:
"We believe everyone has the right to speak their mind and speak their truth."
Conservatives, or anyone rational for that matter, don't talk about "their truth". That's a term used only by radical reality-deniers. Rational people express facts and their opinions on what they believe the truth is based on those facts. They are happy to have different opinions to others. But they never claim there are multiple "truths". Truth by definition must be singular, and is the goal of discourse. If we each know there is one truh which each of us is seeking, we can have a productive conversation. But if we think each of us has found a different "truth", we have denied the very existance of objective reality, and can only have an unresolvable argument. But we already know that.
Point being, this was not written by a conservative, but by a radical.
The use of this term, and the fact that the app is not banned by Apple and Google, and the statement that they seek people to use real identies and be accountable for their statements online, makes me fear this is a honeypot trap set by the 'progressive' faction to get conservatives to identify and then incriminate themselves.
I'd suggest sticking with Dissenter, if you're looking for something like this.
They do have a contact form https://www.thenewinternet.com/contact. You are right; rather than saying "their truth", they should say "their side of the story".
I was talking with a lady about my experiences with my church, and how I got removed from the orchestra, and she was very "non-judgmental", and that was nice, but she told me that I had to live my truth. I told her that there is no such thing as "my truth". There is only God's truth, and then there is our understanding of what is true.

Thank you, @FollowingHim. Aside from the liberal jargon, I was most concerned that this could be a set-up to collect a database of individual information that I don't trust Big Tech to refrain from both monetizing and turning over to people with nefarious intentions. It all seemed a bit too woke for me, so you and I are having a similar reaction.
With due respect, I see this as exactly the kind of thing a true believer in freedom of speech would say or write. Everyone has different experiences and each person's perspective on truth is going to be based upon what they've experienced. Granted, with liberals they perceive their feelings and emotions to speak to truth while conservatives look to empirical evidence and quantifiable proof as the source of truth.
Still, each person has a right to their perspective.
I run into this often enough when I tell people I am not a fan of urban police. Based upon my own experience too many police act like members of an armed gang, they commit crimes and they all cover for those crimes. They also get outraged if you question their opinions of the law and of your rights and like bullies they're eager to retaliate against you for not kissing their asses, licking their boots, and worshipping their shiny badges.
This opinion of mine is informed by my experiences and it constitutes truth to me.
Yet it's heresy to those who think all law enforcement become infallible demigods like a pope when they take their oath and put on a badge. For those people this viewpoint is truth and they're welcome to it. They're also in for a big disappointment someday when they run afoul of the Thin Blue Line.
Biblical Truth is not always agreed upon. This entire website is a testament to this fact. So I don't want someone else to crown themselves the Prophet of Truth and silence me because I see God expressed in successful poly marriages. I expect this would happen were we to try to post this site and topic on Facebook and we'd be immediately silenced because it doesn't square with the leftist, anti-family, anti-heterosexual, anti-patriarchal ideal of Soviet-style truth.
I prefer to err on the messy side of freedom and liberty and in this much I agree with the statement that, "We believe everyone has the right to speak their mind and speak their truth."

I appreciate your post. One thing I think really complicates things is that if people don't believe the truth God says he will send them strong delusion that they should believe a lie. This means there are people firmly convinced that the lie IS THE TRUTH, as well as those who are objective about things and sincerely seeking the truth who determine what that is as best they can with logic, reason, and objective consideration of what facts they can verify.
One type can be reasoned with.....the other are best avoided.
This is wisdom!
truth may be true or false. Got it!
