Much of these kinds of debates get lost because we do not understand the divine nature of God. Not that we ever could anyhow. God doesnt just see our future. He INHABITS our future and our past and the same for everyone. He exists outside of time and outside of the physical universe. Trying to understand this is impossible.

nice word, but it might help if you understood what it means. 'putting Jesus first' is an important principle to a lot of people even if they dont always do so. its more than 'what would jesus do" but that's not a bad start

agreed. It is often used as nothing more than an excuse for screwing up.

That only those born of the Spirit go to heaven.

This discussion is essentially one of the STRENGTH of the drive. A whole lot of people are 24/7 and have found it a wonderful, calming and safe experience that has quelled the storm within. For some people though, that storm is more like the occasional strong wind and nothing more. I live with someone who lived in a hurricane and 24/7 has been a remarkable change. All of the negatives of 24/7 are inconsequential when the positives are so overwhelming. we are all different.

Not sure of the context you are referring to, but God *does* test people of faith as part of the process of refining and growing. Of course, some simply screw up themselves and try and claim it is 'a test'. But God *does* test us and I have only recently been through such an experience.

This might sound judgmental but it is not intended to be so. The fact you even ask the question is itself the answer. People who follow Jesus, get it and it needs little explanation.

In this context the 'facts' are what God says. You can pretend God says something else, but you would be wrong.

You dont get the difference between a 'right' and a 'Right'? It is an indication of relative importance. The right to free speech is a Right.

Just like you, I reject the premise of the question. Firstly and as always, it assumes the USA as if other countries do not exist so please posters, try and think outside your own country for a change! Secondly, the idea that it is a 'right' is ridiculous. Is it a 'right' for a man to wear panties or a woman to wear men's clothing? We hear a great deal about 'rights' these days and precious little about responsibilities. If you wear diapers (or panties) you have a responsibility to keep it private in public. Is it a right? maybe but only a 'right' not a 'Right', if you get the difference. You'd spend a GREAT deal of money, suffer enormous invasion of privacy and then lose, thus creating a precedent we could all do without,

Well it has happened to a few people - albeit VERY few - and so you can find out how it worked for them. There was a newspaper article decades ago about exactly this happening and a sister had looked after her permanent baby brother for 40 years when he died at 80. So it does happen in real life.

Ive been on the other side of that narrative so I hope it has worked out well for you. Sometimes, we need to be pushed.

I think that is a common, reasonable parental response. BTW congrats on the new book Done Adulting, hope it does well for you.

In the book we published Maggie talks about how it happened to her and her AB and also some of the psychology behind it. Becoming a TEMPORARY adult infant, even for many days at a time is one thing, but doing it permanently requires a powerful internal shift.

I dont think anyone would ever actively SEEK this kind of permanency as a baby. IN fact, I dont know if it is ever truly possible to choose it. The book we just published was about someone who actually had this happen to them when their partner regressed permanently to infancy. The point is that this DOES happen albeit it incredibly rare. I certainly wouldn't want it and nor would my baby. But a lot of people can imagine what it would be like to be a baby for an extended period and wonder what hat would be like. There are plenty of ABs that have been complete infants for many days at a time.

I think the point is that no one actually deliberately attempts it. Their psychological makeup is that that it becomes possible whereas for the vast majority, it is not possible.

sounds interesting. Fetlife is however where any good idea goes to die. the black background of the sit is indicative of the content and the attitudes and behaviour of many of its denizens. the story would need to have some redeeming features. Stephen King could do it, but i doubt he would want to try,

That is a very interesting post and I admit, I immediately thought of how it could form t he basis of a very dark and difficult plot for a novel. Interested in writing it? BTW permanent infants DO exists albeit in in credibly small numbers

as it is for most people:)

I would agree. I think being adult and retaining it is important. The problem is, there are a very small number of people for whom the adult is permanently sidelined.It is not something they specifically choose.

yes. Facts. If you wish to disprove my claim that God has made His own rules, go right ahead.

One of the regular themes of AB fiction seems to be the idea of becoming a baby FOREVER. I suppose it speaks to our often desperate desire for the time to be a baby as much as possible. For many, those baby desires never leave and simply bubble beneath the surface. I've read a lot of those types of books, but they always talk about the process of getting there, but little about what it is like to actually be a real-life permanent baby. That is probably because such a existence is impossible. EXCEPT IT ISNT! I personally know a small number (6) couples where one of them is now permanently infantile. it sounds like both a dream and a nightmare all at the same time and to be honest, that is how it is in real life too. I've twice read about situations like this in the regular media and it has always fascinated me and perhaps terrified me. I have my own very deeply regressive sissybaby and the idea of him regressing to infancy and never coming back, does not thrill me. In the early days of babying him, it was one of my fears. But for the vast majority of us, our psychological makeup simply prevents it from happening. But for a very very few, that is not the case. From talking to my own baby and others and from watching their behaviour and utter contentment at being very deeply infantile, I get the attraction and perhaps for them, it would be a utopian existence. But not for their carers! Living as a happy infant, devoid of anything adult does sound quite attractive! I wonder now how people honestly feel about the idea of permanent infancy, IF they had a support mechanism that could make it viable. Thoughts?

Some of you will know that 6 months ago I had a very serious health crisis. I was admitted to hospital with severe cardiac problems. I was surprised, because I am generally in robust good health and have no history of heart problems or in my family history. When admitted and examined, I was found to have an 'ejection fraction' of just 8%, a figure that prompted my cardiologist to tell me to get my affairs in order and that I would likely die. The nursing staff were also half-expecting my demise. I was told if I 'made it', I was a candidate for heart transplant. As you can imagine, this was a very distressing and surprising event. I was literally at death's door. If you research ejection fraction you will see that 8% is 'incompatible with life' and doctors I have seen since since express surprise I even lived thru the night. Nobody else they knew of had survived that low a rate. Some medication and 9 days in hospital was able to keep me alive and while my heart did improve slightly, it was still very, very poor and I faced a lifetime of medication and significant limits on what I could do. Months later, more tests showed that my heart had improved slightly, but was still very very poor. My prognosis was ordinary to say the least. I 'probably' wouldnt die and I 'probably' would live a normal life span. And then enters Almighty God and everything changes. One night, God spoke to my husband and told him to get up and read his Bible, which he did. After that, he told him to pray for me as I slept. I was mostly asleep and so I dont really remember, but he prayed for me at 2am. There were no shining lights or angels and in fact, nothing seemed to have happened at all. Then two weeks ago - about 5 weeks after the prayer -, we went for yet another medical appointment to discuss surgically implanting a defibrillator into my chest and heart, essentially to keep me alive in case of further deterioration. But when the doc saw my latest tests he said that there was NOTHING WRONG WITH MY HEART AT ALL!! My ejection fraction was back in the normal range. My heart had shrunken back to normal size and there was no sign of any abnormality at all. I was in perfect cardiac health! I was the recipient of a divine miracle and no other explanation is possible. My Other cardiologist said that I was BY FAR the fastest and best improver of any patient he has ever had in his long career. It just doesn't happen. This is the third divine miracle in my family so for all of you who sometimes doubt God's power and involvement in our lives, let this story be an inspiration to you.

Until he is dead and faces God for judgement and has to account for his sins. He will feel like a fool then. And he is a fool now as well. The problem is that it is only your opinions. The FACTS say something very different. You can complain all you like but God is God and He makes the rules.

Well Angela has made it to day 25 and doing fine. I am most intrigued by the ABDL community's reaction to it. You might not notice it on this thread, but Angela got a LOT of support and encouragement. It certainly makes the case that bedwetting is a huge issue for ABDLs one way or the other.
