Religion / Re: Is Your Income Being Investigated By Your Pastor? by Subtext: 1:44pm On Nov 18, 2012
WENGERNOMICS:
As for me......I found my spiritual father and av settled with him for 7 yrs and the effect is showing in my life......no amount of public outburst against him will make me change my mind.....Na God show me!

You laid down good points except for the part above. The day your so called 'spiritual father' mistakenly strays and trust me its VERY POSSIBLE, you too will stray. We are to call no else father except Jesus Christ. Let the Holy Spirit alone be your ALL in ALL, your guide, your final say. That way, even your Pastor can learn something from you. I'm not just talking o, I'm speaking from experience. This is the biggest problem of the Nigerian Mega Churches today. They ALL started very well, but somewhere on a few issues, they seemed to have missed it.

Have a nice day.

Religion / Re: ***Is Christianity Becoming Too Superstitious And Beggarly Or What??*** by Subtext: 8:17am On Nov 17, 2012
Its Pastor Rod Parsely's Church, World Harvest Church.

Most churches of our time have neglected the more important matters of the gospel. When 12.12.12 comes I hope you'll not be one of those Christians who'll be more concerned about finances. You think the War in Israel and Mid-east is for fun?

slimyem: Yeah..i have read and discarded it.
So many other insightful and balanced posts i have learnt from on this thread too...
Goodnight!!

Slimyem dear, why are you rantng like a little spoilt brat? wink

Anyway, since you say you've read all the posts, did you notice how ALMOST ALL the men (male responses) said the lady ought to reveal while practically ALL the female responses said ' the past is in the past'?

I was already asleep but the force of your 'goodnight' woke me up! Please don't do that again, ok? Nite nite dear.

slimyem: That you haven't heard doesn't mean it hasn't happen.Maybe not as much as the vice-versa of it but it does happen.Get out of that small place! Silly generalisation!! Wow!
How many of these kind of thread have you seen around?
Does this thread come across to you as gender specific?
...or you think there aren't men who have terribly and unpalatable pasts they are not proud of?
I addressed the thread from a woman's point of view and what i know suddenly means the nonsense below? Mr man,i'm sorry but much of what you have said is lopsidedly myopic and paints you as slightly chavaunistic!!
No offence meant!

None Taken. Yaaawwn. I'll turn in now, got work tomorrow. It's good you've read my chauvinistic post though. Cheers.

First of bro,we r not fighting.we r exchanging opinions and learning from each other s stand point of view. Sorry if one of my expressions was not appropriate.

I see the logic behind your texts and i respect it. My point was mainly about your obsession with giving advices to girl.

Like you i have also seen more female private parts than most gynecologist,but now i go to church,i have cooled down.


No sweat bro. I know what you meant actually. I had to break up with a lady I really liked very recently because of something simillar. I don't want to go into details, y'know, but it wasn't funny.

eddy1977:

What is this guy talking about?
Is it all about what girls did in their previous relationships? Dont you think most girls would also want the man to keep his pants zipped?

Guy calm down. Have you really heard about a girl who fell in love with a guy, was ready to marry him, but decided against it simply because she found out he used to be a player? Think about it. Girls/ladies crave to find a player they can turn to a single-woman-man. Wooo! Now I know I must be really killing you. Messing up your little lets-not-rock-the-boat-and-start-a-gender-war mentality that has most of the world in bondage. So does this mean its ok for guys to play around? OFCOURSE NOT. like I said, and I'm really serious here, i dont play around. How many threads have you seen started with a guy wondering howmuch he should reveal? Women usually don't care as long as they love the guy, he loves them, and they believe he has changed. Finito!

Let me just repeat for emphasis, that I don't think guys should play around, its an empty way to approach life. Are you better now?

I hate to sound condemning (if I do) but we need to tell speak the truth and more of it, so people learn. kapische?

Typical african villager. Talked only about how the woman should keep her wildness down. But forgat to counsel men to stop sleeping around.

When you say: all we want is our own satisfaction; please say that about yourself,dont imply everybody.

Counsel your own daughters,and siblings. If a girl wants to play,it's none of your business.


A lady started the thread sir. Bro trust me I'm not gonna trade insults with you. There's nothing uniquely african about my post, ok ? It applies to ALL men. It's a basic instinct. I'm tired of these types that manage to go overseas then come and lose thier sense of reasoning and manhood completely. Click on the link that I posted in that comment and follow the story. It was by whites you hear?

Believe me I'm a successful young guy who can afford to sleep around but i don't. I don't have to prove it, you'll have to take my word for it. Men are more wired to spread thier seed and women more wired to exercise self control, but it does not mean that Men should cheat ofcourse. The media these days isn't helping anyone. Really.

Let me also add that when you are completely honest about your past from the onset, a guy worth having would love you the more for it and would easily build trust for you because of it. Granted he may not be happy with what you have to reveal, but when telling all, give the reasons for each F_Up and how you've learned your lesson and become wiser because of it. Dont tell of how you straffed 35 guys in your UNI days with a smug face like its some kind of achievement that you are secretly proud of. He'll likely detect that (pride) and run for his dear life and dignity. Leave the 'player' mentality for foolish men who have issues to pursue. grin

Please see the story on this thread https://www.nairaland.com/1085611/quit-lying-intimate-past-does

But my general advise would be what most people today won't take anyway, and here goes :-

For ladies

If you are still young (like in your late teens), be decent, keep your legs closed. Just do it. All we guys are after is your woman hood to make us feel good with ourselves. We don't really care about you at that stage in life. We would use you and go brag about it to our friends later. If we did care, a girl who has slept with like 15, 20 or more guys in her 'playful' days shouldn't have any trouble getting a husband later. They should all be running after her, proposing marriage with the same sweet words they used when she was giving free. Guys are the biggest hypocrites in this regard, why because the inner man in every man actually wants a woman who has slept witha s few men as possible. YET we go about tryin to stick it every well rounded backside. TRUTH HURTS, DEAL WITH IT.

If you've lived a rough life in your past, UNLESS YOUR HUY SAYS HE DOESN'T WANT TO KNOW AND YOU KNOW THERE IS NO UNASSAILABLE EMBARRASMENT COMING LATER (from your past) LIKE A CHILD OUT OF WEDLOCK, YOU MUST TELL HIM ALL HE WANTS TO KNOW. THE EARLIER THE BETTER. Better not leave anything out. If you decide to have a NO tell policy, then do just that, BUT NO HALF TRUTHS. PLEASE. Half truths only add to the problem when discovered and believe a samrt guy will always discover them shortly. They call to question your 'changed status' and honesty-of-the-kind-fit-for-marriage.


GET RID of that thought that you can be a female player. There's no such thing. I don't care what cosmo and vogue tells you. Do i sound chauvinistic, well so be it. A player ALWAYS has bragging rights and respect, albeit foolishly, with his friends and sometimes even with other females. But a lady who opens it for every guy she fancies, HAS to do it in secrecy. She never goes about bragging about it (except maybe on anonymous forum like this), and even if she tells her female friends, sooner or latter such friends will still call her a slut behind her back. I ADDED THIS AST BIT SO YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE STUCK IN THE 'TO TELL OR NOT TO TELL' ZONE IN THE FIRST PLACE.


FINALLY, i keep seeing posts on simillar topics which say a lady in a UNI who's less than 24 years of age still doesn't know what she wants yet, she's still a kid yada yada yada. SMH. Most of our moms had their first kids at or before that age, and both mother and kids turned out alright latter. the marriages also succeded. That you are a lady and in your early 20s, with Wiz-kid as your best artist and male role model, doesn't mean you should open it for any cute stud that asks.


TRUTH HURTS. You guys can insult o, I don't really care.

For those who still lie to themselves and to others saying one's (sexual behavioural) past doesn't matter, please read the story on this link and ALL the comments that follow. I've taken the liberty to post just a few here. It should clear your misconceptions unless ofcourse you remain bent on lying to urself and burying your head in the sand.

The full story goes:
My threesomes have come back to haunt me

A United States female age 26-29, *aka* ItBetterGirl writes:

I am really in a bind and I don't know what to do.

A little over a year ago I met my now fiancé. When we met we clicked instantly and became an item right away. He is charming, intelligent, attractive, educated and an all around great guy. About four months ago, we moved in together and it's been great - we have similar interests and just really enjoy the time we spend together. I knew he was serious about me when he started talking about the future as "our future together." I can honestly say that I want to spend the rest of my life with him.

A couple of months into our relationship, we had a talk about our past boyfriends / girlfriends. He's 31 (I'm 28) and has had a few girlfriends; some serious, some not so serious but never just casual. I had absolutely no problem with any of that. I realized, however, that his "number" was lower than mine and that he has never tried any crazy stuff. Sooo... I didn't go into full details about my own past. In particular, I did not mention anything about my boyfriend before him. That boyfriend and I did not last long but right from the beginning, it was "anything goes." When we broke up romantically we remained friends and I've since introduced him to my fiance as my "good friend."

My fiance was accepting of what information I did divulge. I remember him asking me if there was anything in my past that could be an embarrassment in the future. I answered "no." Life together continued great and we got engaged last January.

When we first started dating, it was different with my fiance because it took a while for us to become lovers. When we did, I discovered that he is great between the sheets! Even so, I have been a bit hesitant to let loose completely in the bedroom. He has suggested on numerous occasions that since he has found in me his true love, he would like for us to be more adventurous in bed. He wants to try stuff he has never tried with another woman. I have so far resisted even though what my fiance wants is not really new to me - I had those experiences with my ex.

Fast forward to last week. We were at a party where many of our friends were present. Everyone had plenty to drink and loud conversations were everywhere. At one point we were talking with a couple, when my ex approached us. With him was a woman who was beyond drunk. When my ex introduced her to me, she responded, "oh he's (her guy, my ex) told me all about you. You're the chick he and his buddy had threesomes with."

I was stunned and my fiancé caught it. It took a few seconds before anyone said anything. Finally my ex said something like "don't be ridiculous "and guided her away. The other couple that was with us also moved away. My fiancé just looked at me and said let's go. In the car and at home there was no conversation.

The next day he asked me if it was true. I stammered and didn't really say anything coherent. In fact, it was true. With my ex had an enjoyable bunch of threesomes.

My fiancé says that I have deceived him and humiliated him. He feels terrible and he's says it's worse since he figures all our friends now know as well. In the last week he has said that he wants to reconsider "us." Even though I told him all that was in the past and that I love him with all my heart, he still feels like he's been duped. He's also extremely angry that I hadn't wanted to experiment with him while I had "no problem" experimenting with the other guy.

When I asked him what I could do, he said he wants a way more complete discussion about past sex partners because he figures (correctly - ouch!)that I wasn't completely truthful the first time. He also wants to know who the second guy in the threesomes was.

What do I do? He really is the real deal. I have dated enough losers and jerks in the past to recognize this. I don't want to lose him. He is the only man I have ever wanted to marry. I'm incredibly sorry that he was humiliated. I don't know what to do. Any advice would be so appreciated
.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Excerpts from some comments:

''This thread did an excellent job of articulating why the past DOES matter. People are free to have consensual sex with whomever they choose, but those choices have consequences. Be an adult take some responsibility for yourself!''

''A woman's wealth is between her legs. Feminism didn't change that, it just demanded that she enjoy no accountability for how she "spends" her wealth.''

''Haha... I live in a small town. Literally every time I've been to the STI clinic to get myself checked out there has been another guy talking about one of the same girls I've banged.''

N.B: Please note that this is really not another female bashing thread. I decided to post this cos I recently lost a relationship cos of something very similar.
