method
/ˈmeTHəd/
noun: method; plural noun: methods
a particular form of procedure for accomplishing or approaching something, especially a systematic or established one.
So rythym-method must be a particular form or procedure for accomplishing a strong, regular, repeated pattern of movement or sound. Or it could be a method to stop strong, regular, repeated patterns of movement or sounds such as bedsprings, or the pitter patter of baby footsteps.
” Please quit arguing - you are wrong. “
In actual practice:
There is nothing against nature, ie agsinst G-d, in rhythm method.
The Catholic Church teaches this. [ I mean from long times ago - not the current yoyo. ]

Tell it to those so happy and delighted with their family, begotten using such modern knowledge.
Are you son-of-GilesB ????????? hahahahahaha
You are arguing something I never posited.
I never said there was anything against God or nature in the rhythm method. If folks want to use it, more power to ‘em; it’s their lives and their families, after all.
All I said is that it is a form of contraception (birth control), which it is. I didn’t make any claims as to its efficacy. The Catholic Church teaches it for what purpose?????
No, I am a son of God—by his grace. Just trying to lighten things up. ;)
I have often been accused of being Catholic (having 21 children) and attacked for being pro-life, but am protestant by conviction. I think that we will all be surprised when we see Him face to face.
I was just thinking this morning, it seems today that most large families (more than 4 children) are evangelical when they are not Mormon (and it seems like there are fewer large-family Mormons nowadays.
The funny thing is..he has been VERY good to WNY ...other governors have ignored us.. he comes a lot ...
I did not vote for him.. but one thing this SC decision shows us is the Republicans are as morally corrupt as the democrats .... Scripture tells us this is not our home.. PRAISE THE LORD
Elsie, who’s Christie?
Mine are a mixed assortment. Many are bio the rest adopted. They have given me gray hair and keep me young. I firmly believe God gives us families so that we can learn humility. Some of us just require more lessons. :)
I used to know a lot about raising children, now I know that unless the Lord builds the house, the laborers build in vain.
Do you have a dimple in your chin? ; )
He was blubbering about COMPROMISE the other day...
"Well There is one thing for sure the Roman Church is not currently producing a St. Ambrose, nor a St. Bernard Of Clairvaux."
Meet John Paul II and Benedict XVI. Ever read their writings? Which denominations are producing? The self-interpreters/non-affiliates? Bitter ex-Catholics? Funky-haired televangelists? Or how about one of these "Reverends"?"Instant Ordination" (great for taxes!)
I'm so sick of the Church being blamed for all the problems in the world. The Church pedophile scandal- it's a horrible thing- but has anyone ever heard O'Reilly talk about NAMBLA? Have any of you complained against it, even in forum? It's the Church which gets targeted. Those people don't, and wouldn't be publicized by the other msm.
Those who are non-affiliates have it easy. Churches of all denominations build schools, hospitals, orphanages, food pantries, etc. Those who complain about organized religion- do you ever use these services? Have you tried to start your own? One person alone can't do it as well as people who work together. We're not all Mother Theresa, or Father Damien.
Organized religions have rules-not always followed, not always enforced- but there are good ministers, deacons, elders, priests- and people who do follow the rules- Biblical or man-made, because following God takes fellowship, supervision, guidance and discipline and leadership (Reverend Billy Graham once stated on national TV that he was a virgin when he got married- how many can say that? It takes an extraordinary man to be that committed to his faith!); people who follow the whole Bible, not just St. Paul, a Greek lexicon, and Strong's Concordance. People who commit themselves to a family in faith- not just saying magic words, "I'm saved!" then gleefully condemning the rest of the world to hell. What do you do to serve your neighbor- and don't give me the "not letting your good deeds be seen" or "we're saved by faith alone" memes. That's a cop-out.
If you left the Church, fine, God bless you on your journey, and I genuinely mean that. But no one is ever 100% right or wrong. I left once myself, I get it. But I'm sick and tired of those who whine and blame the Church because "I didn't get anything out of it"; "I went through all the motions and I didn't feel a thing"; yada yada yada. Maybe you just couldn't cut it. Maybe you didn't put anything into it. Maybe instead of being a Pelosi and non-compliant, you chose to just leave: too many rules- is that any better?
Finally those who are just plain hateful of what they don't understand, and fear it- please go and seek solace in what you believe, and save the snarling for the Muslims if you're so anxious to preach the Word. The Franciscans did- on the Muslims' turf, and were martyred. The Jesuits, whom our detractors SO love to knock, came to the New World, preached to native Americans and were martyred. Are you ready? Or is it easier to sit at a keyboard and bash online, or perhaps treat the people who come to your door like they're dirt? Who are the persecutors there?
Wake up, people- anyone who professes a faith is going to have problems down the road- if they stick with it. It's time to stop demonizing and start discussing. We're going to need each other sure enough- maybe more than we realize. One religion? No. One cause: serving God in a godless nation helping and supporting one another to keep on a steady course- Christian, Jew, Independent, whichever, YES!
He has to! That's where all the snow falls, LOL- "Southern Erie; Chautauqua; Cattaraugus; Genesee and Wyoming Counties...""Lake effect; freezing rain, freezing drizzle, and the worst: the dreaded "mixed bag!"
Howdy, Neighbor! 🐧
OH, OK, now I know... I was probably watching reruns of “Mr. Ed” at the time. Hey, we were watching the same thing- just different ends!
I live in what they call "the bucket" The snow goes over us on the way to ski country..
Howdy back
Remember ‘77- when the moose were on the loose-and walking down Main Street in Buffalo? Lol
I remember 77 all too well ...but the storm we had in NOV last year .was actually worse... I had 12 feet of snow ..could not get out my door... and had to have an earth mover type thing to clear my driveway .... At least in 77 I could get out.. actually had my youngest baptized the Sunday following,, where are/were you??
That storm was amazing! The day that all the snow came, I got a call from a friend- they had gotten the first 6 feet in Lancaster. I live up by the Falls and my lawn had green patches. When I turned the news on, I was totally floored! We really lucked out! What really got me were the pictures of the stadium! How did they think folks were gonna get there to shovel it out?!? Lol
Amen.
