Caller whose mom treats her badly, can’t have decent conversations w/ mom, Steve often says that people get something out of relationship or pathology or neuroses or they wouldn’t continue it, but w/ parents lack of guilt can be the payoff, moms esp are good at laying on guilt, kids + adult kids often continue to do things for yrs because otherwise parents would make them feel guilty./ Caller Shannon it’s good to let very young kids be exposed to death as no big deal, a natural part of life cycle, that we don’t fear death because we go to be w/ Jesus. My kids at ages 3 & 5 were there in the room when my dad died peacefully of cancer at home, no big deal, no crying, we said he went to heaven, they don’t have fear of people dying, it didn’t scare them at all. 3d caller Jody is under delusion, Bible doesn’t say file for div. after have done everything possible. If spouse has affair like hers did then can divorce, good to try to reconcile but not required, no less Christian if don’t, if spouse divorces you [not for your adultery] then don’t have to try, good if you do, but if spouse didn’t have affair & is willing to live w/ you then you CAN’T divorce Mt19:9 even if you’ve tried everything to fix problems. Jody should file for div. he needs wakeup call. Jody needs to be told that because husband committed long term ongoing sexual adultery it’s her choice whether to divorce now or to continue to try to do more before file divorce. She can also continue thru to a final divorce whether he changes or not, that’s her choice, depends on what she feels led by God to do. But she should file divorce before too long since we don’t enable evil & being a doormat makes reconciling less likely. She does NOT have to continue to wait & pray, filing divce is OK

11/25 SHOW: Let husb go thru journal & rip out pages about guy [the sleazy wife stealer] & leave in pages about how God brought her back.// Husb is caller, wives today who have affairs aren’t sorry, aren’t broken, don’t show remorse, she should be doing whatever he asks, husbs who come back usually do this but wives don’t because of leaders like Stoop who justify wives’ affairs but say husbs’ affairs are stupid. So wife is totally wrong, sinful to keep it, but good luck getting her to do anything to demonstrate remorse. This is why husbs are more likely to div. over wives’ affairs, wives [backed by NL & others] show no remorse// Good advice to husb, wife is wrong but IF he wants to keep his marriage [it’s his choice, he could choose div. due to her affair & would be no less Godly for it] he cant’t make it too much of an issue, adulterous cheating sinful wives rebel today if husbs ask them to show remorse. But NL should read riot act to cheating wives who call, letting them stay arrogantly justifying their affair & not showing remorse, not being broken dooms their marriage, stats show div. rate very hi when husb finds out wife cheated//Last caller shouldn’t have done 4 marriages even if had biblical grounds [unsure what happened in 1st marriage], he needs years of therapy before he can fix his people picker & not pick losers like he did [except maybe for wife who died of cancer]. If he div’d 1st wife or had affair then he shouldn’t have remarried ever Mt19:9

“Survival time” is offered up as an excuse for the attacking of Native Americans during the establishment of the New World? Really, Dr. Stoop? You stooped quite low with that comment. It’s time you picked up a book and stopped watching ‘cowboys ‘n indians’.
