    one Quaker's view of Polyamory

    as you might know, in the liberal quaker meetings (including all British meetings) many Friends would not call themselves Christian. If you attend worship often enough to be known by name then Friends will officially call you an 'attender'. We'd say you are following 'the Inner Light', and...

    HELP! delete meeeeeeeeee !!!

    It is often said, but for deletion there is in fact one more rule. You can only delete a post if it is the last post on a thread. Once someone else posts the software seems to prevent deletion. (I have not found this written up anywhere, but came across it in practice when I tried to delete...

    is there a better word?

    they'd simply be 'Polyce' surely? why miss the chance of a pun?

    Broody men, Jealousy, and Poly

    @Redpepper,thank you for your kind words. You are exactly the Mother I wanted for my child/ren [this is not a proposition by the way] and exactly what I thought I'd found 25 years ago. Sadly in those days the distinction between swinging and poly had not been recognised; it was all called open...

    one Quaker's view of Polyamory

    hi Jasmine, thanks for the links; yes I can see strong overlaps between what the UUPA say in that webpage and my own ideas. I did not know about the QuakerSexuality group, and it reminds me it is also perhaps worth mentioning there is also a Yahoo group specifically for poly quakers - tho there...

    is there a better word?

    agree so far This is where you are mistaken. Not all sequences imply a system ordered by degrees of power or importance. They may be ordered in other ways than that. The primary and secondary coil in a car engine, for example, are both equally important in making the spark. The names...

    Polyamory perspective on internet porn?

    If that is all it is, then I agree it makes no difference. But if the fact that a couple love each other comes over in one vid, and not in another, that makes a difference that I feel is a moral one. And if the love is acted, that is fine: it is the depiction of sex without love, and even...

    Broody men, Jealousy, and Poly

    I am glad you posted that line before I responded, nycindie. But I stll think this is unfair. Many many many women feel like this, and it is totally accepted. When one in a whatever many women feels exactly the same as all the others, but has reproductive problems, people say she has an ego...

    Broody men, Jealousy, and Poly

    The Dad has no rights in England or Scotland (different legal systems, but similar in this respect) unless either the parents were married or the Mum voluntarily puts the Dad on the birth certificate. (Talk about dumb legislators: before that that law was passed, most Mums would put the Dad on...

    Polyamory perspective on internet porn?

    (my emphasis). Yes, this makes a huge difference from my perspective. For me, the idea that sex is between people who care bout each other as people is one of the very attractive aspects of poly, as compared with other kinds of honest non-monogamy.

    Broody men, Jealousy, and Poly

    Broody men, Jealousy, and Poly

    Fair comment, my mistake then. Let's go wtih the matrilineal discussion, and I will start a separate thread on my personal stuff, later, if I still want to. No, for several reasons. First I disagree with your description about what is being suggested, and it shows little understanding of the...
