wow, i'm glad i'm not the only one...
i had a great Aussie pregnancy, birth, and parenting forum where i used to go for advice, networking and chats with fellow mummies...
but when a topic related to sex, waiting, and virginity etc... i was attacked from all sides for being "preachy" and "judgmental" it seems as though a non Christian can give their opinions whenever, however and to whomever they please without any one batting an eyelid, but as soon as a Christian says... "well i think this way...." everyone is hurt and upset and i'm the big baddy
:ohmy
i still post on these forums sometimes because it's a good way to get quick tips when you are worried about something mummy related... but they have now made a private area for Christian parents to share their thoughts with each other (all well and good ) but i have had PM's from moderators and admin telling mew to keep my opinions to this private section and not to say anything that might provoke attacks in the main boards because it's too messy for them to clean up. however, they don't say boo to the people who were swearing at me and calling me cruel names and telling me i was mean and nasty and all ganging up on me
there are a few other lovely Christian mummies there, and we have good talks in the private bit, but i don't think we shoud be forced to keep our thoughts quiet when everyone who hasn't got a high moral code can say whatever they want, no matter how crass or inappropriate (although i suppose there is really no such thing as inappropriate in todays secular world, unless of course you're a Christian... that's VERY inappropriate)
i think this is more of a vent really, i felt as though i needed to share but i also wanted to support you, and let you know you're not alone, it's a big, nasty, anti-Christian world out there sometimes and it can be very upsetting. i understand. :smt056
