Beth Belch commented on Doug Bennett's blog post 'Five Snippets'"I may be wrong, but what I believe Bruce is pointing out, is the need for consistency.If we say," Well, since Jesus came, God doesn't mean that *we* can't eat pork and shellfish" or "that's out of historical…"
Beth Belch replied to Aaron Clark's discussion 'Quakerism Is A Satanic Cult'"He's making some glaringly huge assumptions.
For starters, he claims that only the Bible matters in determining whether or not someone is Christian. I am not aware of any "test" within the Bible, apart from "knowing them by their…"
Beth Belch replied to Barbara Smith's discussion 'Plain Dress: The New Bra Burning' in the group Plainness & Simplicity"I am so happy to read this thoughtful, polite discussion!

We stick to colors that coordinate easily, and buy mainly from thrift stores, or high quality fair trade. We do the same when buying our children's clothes.…"

Beth Belch replied to Lauren Smith's discussion 'Parenting as a Friend'"Though the home I was raised in used fear to gain compliance, we are trying very hard to cooperate with our kids. I suppose we're "AP", though it happened pretty naturally. If you try to see "that of God" in your children,…"
