I don't understand why when a woman wants to make any statements or wants
to talk about the Promise Keepers that it is assumed that she is going to
start thsi *wife beating* stuff.

If you would have read my whole post, and obviously you didn't... you
would ahve noticed that I did make statements to the effect that I do
support them and their efforts.  What I do not support is the fact that
they feel they must use Christianity as a basis.

Why not just say that men should be like them regarless of their religion.
Why only Christianity?

Why is it that a woman cannot support this, but still question things?  I
don't support the NOW organization and never did, 'cause I don't agree
with everything they say.  So Why?

Why jump to conclutions that any of my arguments will be based on spousal
abuse.  hell!  Don't you watch the news?  Didn't you watch 20/20 a couple
of weeks ago?  There are men out there who are getting beatten by their
wives.

So don't assume that I am against men, the Promise Keepers, Christianity,
or anything else without basing your argument against me as a whole.  I
can actually argue for both sides... can you?  Can Kar?  No he can't.  And
since you choose to take that little piece and repost and make a comment
like you did, you probably can't either.
