Mom's Forums | Daughters' Forums | Daughter's Forums Guidelines

Thank you for considering joining us on the Titus 2 forums! May the Lord bless you in a mighty way!

Our purpose for Titus 2 forums is to offer encouragement, fellowship, and resources to moms, wives, and daughters. We reserve the right to edit, remove posts, or put members on moderated status if we deem it appropriate in order to maintain the purposes of our board.

Again...from our home page (it's worth repeating) ... our forum members come in all 'flavors.' We represent a variety of denominations; ages, dress and music styles... Some homeschool, some don't. Some are stay-at-home moms and others aren't.
What we have in common is our love for the Lord, a desire to love and encourage one another.

Posting Do's: Do...
-- keep it family friendly
-- be respectful of advice
-- be kind
-- maintain a humble, teachable spirit
-- be respectful of husbands
-- apologize if needed
-- offer gentle, creative ways to help frustrated mommas (more on discipline here)
-- offer educational resources
-- preview your posts to check for tone+errors
-- make paragraph breaks for easier reading
-- help calm others if they're upset
-- offer hugs and prayers
-- contact an older mom privately if you want to share intimate details regarding a problem.

Posting Don'ts: Don't...
-- bash or attack anyone (from in-laws to celebrities)
-- be confrontational
-- share corporal or punitive punishment parenting advice or resources (more here)
-- promote controversial authors or resources (Michael and Debi Pearl, Bill Gothard, Ezzo, etc)
-- use profanity or the Lord's name in vain
-- encourage others to ignore medical advice
-- question the salvation of others (unless they deny the basics of the faith)
-- debate "gray" areas (clothing, jobs, birth preferences, vaccinations, music, holidays, etc)
-- appeals for money
-- share PM's without author's permission (do share w/admin if it is offensive)
-- spam
-- criticize members, admin, moderators, or the board publicly -- settle problems privately.
-- post an "I'm leaving" thread (let an admin know if you want to unsubscribe)

Mods: The administrative team is made up of unpaid volunteers whose first priority is to our families. We do not LIKE to edit, but we use our best judgment. Please give us the benefit of the doubt, assume the best, pray for us...and we promise to do the same for you! If you have a concern, contact one of us privately.

 

Our Christian beliefs: We believe in...
-- in one God in three eternal persons known as the Father, Son (Jesus) and Holy Spirit
-- Jesus is God and lived a sinless life
-- we go to Heaven if we accept Jesus as our Savior
-- we have a responsibility to share Christ with others
-- Satan exists
-- grace is unmerited: it cannot be earned
-- Christians will not be completely free from sin until we die or Jesus comes back
-- God is all-knowing, all-powerful, created the universe and still rules it today
-- the Bible is accurate in all that it teaches.

Discipline
We (the site owners) definitely believe the Bible stresses the importance of discipline, or "discipleship" of our children; but do NOT agree that spanking is mandated in Scripture. We believe that the few verses in Proverbs were written with a point in mind (for authority and teaching not to be neglected) as hyperbole, and that the typical teaching in that area today goes against the teaching of the Scriptures (Jesus taking our punishment) as a whole. If you want to read more thoughts on this, you can read here.

We are commanded to strive to walk in the Spirit, of which the fruit includes gentleness and meekness (Gal 5). We are commanded for our gentleness to be known to all (Phil 4). Titus 2 commands us to teach the younger women to love their children. Nowhere does the Bible even suggest that we encourage others to punish. Therefore, we feel completely confident to ban discussing, encouraging or promoting any type of corporal punishment (includes spanking, hot saucing, etc) or resources which encourage it. We encourage the sharing of creative, gentle, non-punitive ways to help frustrated mommas.

Some discipline tips can be found here.
