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 Titus 2 women.
You are most likely here because you specifically searched on "Titus 2."
Most women who join our boards
desire to live by the specific,
unique commands that God has given us.
We know that He said it will glorify Him,
and that it is possible only through growing in His grace.
Even though we may differ on our specific idea of "submission," please....
encourage one another in love to
love your husbands, to love your children,
please be discreet, and respectful to your own husbands
so that the word of God is not blasphemed.
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. Please check your tone.
Still, we wish to remind members and visitors that comments
belong to the individual authors and
do not necessarily reflect the views of Titus 2.
It's important to note that our forum members represent a variety of denominations, and dress, music, and schooling styles. Some are stay-at-home moms and others aren't.
Some are single, some married, some divorced, some remarried.
Please note, we will never encourage anyone to leave their husband under normal situations,
however, we will if she or her children are in danger,
or if she is counseled to in 'real life.'
Always, our goal remains to make marriages and families stronger.
In addition, we ask that you avoid discussing corporal punishment.
Please prayerfully consider any advice your given.

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.
