Message-ID: Date: 21 Oct 90 05:57:34 GMT Sender: hedrick@athos.rutgers.edu Organization: Data General Corporation, Research Triangle Park, NC Lines: 28 Approved: christian@aramis.rutgers.edu Before anyone decides to flame me (and I've got my asbestos underwear on anyway ;-)), let me say that I'm not proposing anyone view. I happened to hear part of a discussion on the Christian radio station coming to work this morning concerning this very topic. I thought that it might be interesting to see what sort of discussion develops on the net about this. Is there Biblical reason to believe that a woman should not work outside the home? If you believe so, please provide Biblical support by way of references so that others of us can check them out. And the same for those who don't believe so. And what about those sisters out there who are married, with or without children? How do you deal with this topic? My wife chose to stay home until the children were grown and in high school. Then she went to work. She is now talking about staying home again--for a couple of reasons, one that I am not at liberty to discuss yet at her request. Her reasons seem sound to me, and so we are working toward that end goal. But I would like to know how it is for other Christians. Thanks for responding--I prefer to keep this on the net, but I will respond to email as well. Because He lives, Gene Gross
