Natman, your point are well taken, particularly regarding the fears of parents being viewed by pedophiles. It matters not to a pedophile whether a child is clothed or nude, he/she will have sexual fantasies about the child regardless. Children need to be safeguarded from such people and allowed to maintain their innocence until they reach an appropiate age to begin to understand their emotions.

To your excellent points I will only add that environmental heating of cable can lower the amps you can run through a circuit. Jon Marc lives in a mobile home if I recall and the sun can really get those wires hot.
Also, running any appliance constantly lowers the ampacity allowed on that circuit.
I think someone with a volt meter definitely needs to find out why that circuit is not handling what should be a very reasonable load. There's too much risk of fire to ignore this.
I had a similar problem in my house and I had the A/C window unit put on its own "dedicated" circuit.
No more breakers flipped off!

Isn't that true for every group of believers?
Actually, as someone who is following Jesus, one of the things we often over look is that we never "arrive" in this lifetime, at least until Jesus returns.
Our walk with Jesus is a journey, not a nursing home (that is true even if we are in one). We see that in the New Testament with Jesus being on the road for so many years, instead of hanging out in the Temple for 3 years. N.T.

It's like the Holy Spirit is a GPS. He tells me to "go over there". I head that direction, then take an unexpected left turn. Then he says "no, take a right here", which I ignore. Then another "take a right here". Which I finally follow, getting back on the path.

My inner professor starts asking the student of collague before him, how BIG does the resurrection have to be? How PERMANENT does it have to be [whatever happened to the guys who came out of the grave after the crucifixion, anyhow? Where is Lazarus today?].
I will cast my vote with the Desert Father who, asked his interpretation of a particular scripture, said "I don't know." Or, to be less the humanities prof, "Insufficient data".

Welcome to the Village. Sorry for the late welcome, but I have been out of town on business and things are busy at work. I just spent a week in Minneapolis, stayed across the street from MoA. Chances are I'll be making one or two more trips before summer is out. If you would like to meet one night for dinner, drop a PM, I'll tell you about myself and we can go from there. I'll be out of the loop for the next day or so, but will return any PMs as soon as possible.
This is an interesting place with interesting people. Just poke around the forums and meet the rest of the gang. Welcome to Mrs Matt too. Another female point of view is always welcome.
Brother in Christ,
Larry

Well, it certainly CAN be a way to a closer relationship with God, but I don't think that is ALWAYS. It all depends on what is in our hearts and what motivates us to draw close to God in this way.
For me, it is a desire to deny Satan's victory over the "Image and Likeness of God", to show that God created us and in fact STILL creates us to glorify Him.... nothing added. In fact, the least added, the better.

Welcome and glad to have you here. I gues based upon your comments, you and your son go nude in front of your wife/his mother, and the girls? If so, what is their reaction? I hope it's a very positive one or at least one of tolerance.
I agree with your contention nudity is a positive influence for children, based upon the stories and images I have read and seen here and elsewhere. I'm still a relative newcomer to nudism myself (about two years now) and just over one month from my 63rd birthday, therefore I didn't raise my own children as nudists but sure wish I had and do encourage others to do so.
