Deeper Waters Forum Guidelines

Notice – The ministries featured in this section of TheologyWeb are guests of this site and in some cases not bargaining for the rough and tumble world of debate forums, though sometimes they are. Additionally, this area is frequented and highlighted for guests who also very often are not acclimated to debate fora. As such, the rules of conduct here will be more strict than in the general forum. This will be something within the discretion of the Moderators and the Ministry Representative, but we simply ask that you conduct yourselves in a manner considerate of the fact that these ministries are our invited guests. You can always feel free to start a related thread in general forum without such extra restrictions. Thank you.

Deeper Waters is founded on the belief that the Christian community has long been in the shallow end of Christianity while there are treasures of the deep waiting to be discovered. Too many in the shallow end are not prepared when they go out beyond those waters and are quickly devoured by sharks. We wish to aid Christians to equip them to navigate the deeper waters of the ocean of truth and come up with treasure in the end.

We also wish to give special aid to those often neglected, that is, the disabled community. This is especially so since our founders are both on the autism spectrum and have a special desire to reach those on that spectrum. While they are a special emphasis, we seek to help others with any disability realize that God can use them and that they are as the Psalmist says, fearfully and wonderfully made.

  • How Pro-Choice is NARAL?

    Chips anyone?

    The link can be found here.

    The text is as follows:

    Anybody want some Doritos? Let's plunge into the Deeper Waters and find out.

    So last night my wife was wanting to watch this program that frankly did not make any sense to me. It involved a bunch of grown men just running into each other constantly, but in the middle, it had these commercials and some were quite funny. I couldn't understand why these commercials were being interrupted by this strange performance. I was even more puzzled when I heard it had to do with some falconry event about a Superb Owl and that Herodotus had written about it long ago.

    However, one commercial that stood out to me was one that was done by Doritos. Rather than tell you about it, I think I should just show you.

    Cute commercial. Right? If you were anything like me, you just laughed at it. One of my friends had texted me and was saying that NARAL was upset about it. Something about humanizing fetuses. At the time, I was sure he was joking about that. (In fact, as I look over their Twitter feed, it looks like if they are choosing one thing, it is they are choosing to not have a sense of humor.)

    What did they say about this?

    #NotBuyingIt - that @Doritos ad using #antichoice tactic of humanizing fetuses & sexist tropes of dads as clueless & moms as uptight.
    I wish I was making it up. I'm not. NARAL is complaining about humanizing fetuses apparently. Well there's a bit of wisdom you need to remember about this.

    You see, most of us watched it and enjoyed it. NARAL has a habit of wanting to psychoanalyze anything and look for something that can offend them. In fact, there was even a point last night where a video was made of Super Bowl babies. Who were these? They were ones who had their parents watching the game and then one thing led to another and that's how they were born. NARAL's reply was that sports fans should use protection.

    Because, like, you know, getting pregnant is the most horrible thing ever.

    When I saw that commercial, I really thought a lot of those people looked pretty happy. They were glad to be alive. They were celebrating that their parents chose life. (And last I checked, I thought the pro-choice side was supposed to be pro-choice. Why are they so upset when some people actually make the choice that they'd like to have children?)

    Now for my part, I have done a number of podcasts where I have interviewed people on the topic of abortion to answer the challenge of the pro-choice side. I will simply put those here.

    Megan Almon.

    Gretchen Coburn.

    Clinton Wilcox.

    Freda Bush.

    Jay Watts.

    Peter D. Williams.

    DeeDee Warren.

    Dave Sterrett.

    Lori Peters.

    Daniel Rodgers.

    As for me and my house, I think we'll celebrate the life that we have and maybe do so by making the choice to go out and buy some Dorito's because I like seeing ads like that, especially if they get the people at NARAL so riled up that they end up showing their true colors.

    Happy Superb Owl Sunday NARAL.

    In Christ,

    Nick Peters

    They were offended by that commercial, but not the "puppy monkey baby"(which should give everyone nightmares for months to come)?

      And yet some of these people wonder why we refer to them as "pro-abortion," insisting that nobody actually likes abortion. I'm reminded of the recent tweet that Cosmopolitan wrote.

          I can't stop thinking about it. It will haunt me forever.

            My mom told me about it this morning, and told me to watch it. I was tired when she was explaining things, so I missed that she was saying how creepy it was. I never should have watched it.

              Which inspired this thread. They considered more babies being born and fewer abortions being performed to be a negative consequence of Texas no longer funding abortion providers.

                Mommies and mommies to be should not be put in such a position. Leave to us grumpy old(ish) men.


                Poop.


                There. Took care of it for you.

                  Yeah. You know that old phrase "If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all?" I don't post much on this topic anymore for that reason.

                    NARAL Ohio practically had a nervous breakdown after it got tons of blowback against their tweet about the super bowl babies commercial.

                      Just realized that NARAL is referring to the adults as a mom and dad. But don't they say that an unborn baby isn't really a child so how can they then be parents?

                      Freudian slip NARAL?
