I don't understand what is so disagreeable about that concept. It just seems logical that a "good woman" who is not CI exists in greater numbers than we give them credit for. It is from that "pool" that single CI men should be looking to draw from. It is not a matter of how well we know our "faith", but how strong in it's fundamentals we are, and how we exude those fundamentals in our everyday lives. When you embody the Truth by living for God first, and your brethren second, any woman serious about "dating" you will soon be faced with the obvious choice of: being a woman of God, or being a woman of the world. Our single men need to present themselves as the true Christians that they are, especially in the "dating scene", and the "good woman" should gravitate to them. This message I deliver from experience. I met Pam in the most unlikely place...at a bar where I was running production for her cousin's band. Long story short, I let her know right off the bat that "I am a white Christian man." God apparently put it in her heart to know what I meant, and apparently sparked her interest to learn more. We have grown together since then, and she has become unabashedly CI, but not without numerous trials and tribulations. Honestly, if it were not for my steadfast faith and limited scholarly knowledge giving me the bedrock foundation on which to stand firmly, we may not even be together...but that is exactly what Joe meant by "Ultimately each man is responsible". I chose to marry Pam, even though she was not CI at the time, but I knew her heart was there. I made the choice to take on the responsibility of leading my wife down the path of a woman of God.
