J.D.,
Wow, you've been sampling that formerly forbidden brew again, haven't you? Just because you are no longer a fundamentalist and are enjoying being Reformed, don't expect that there is a PB analog for everything!!!
Now, if you excuse me, I must get off my PB computer, quit sipping diet coke out of my John Owen mug, take my book on EP, and make a trip to the John (Calvin) for a few minutes of respite.
I've never been on the web site but I wonder if you had a PB-type dating site if it would be over-whelmingly male?
You know, I have to say that this is one of the worst things about being reformed. As said above, there are people that probably live hundreds of miles away from the next available reformed single person. It is a very real problem. I have often thought that the Puritan Board would be the ideal place to have some interaction of this sort.
I don't mean a "dating website" but rather look at it this way: How many pastors are on this website? How many of them have singles in their congregations that are at a loss of where to look? We are a community and an especially valuable community for those who find that there are not that many like-minded individuals around. I am wondering if sometime a particular PB member might notice that there is another PB member who is single and just might be a good match for that person he knows. How hard would it be for that person to contact the other and say, "from what I can tell from your posts on the PB, you might be a good match for so and so".
The Sovereign Grace Singles website is a good idea, but there are many people who would not put their profile on that website for various reasons. Thus, there are many singles who are simply hidden. But we at the PB have a huge network of people from all walks of life, cultures, geographical locations, elders, deacons, etc.
This network extends far and wide. Think of when people ask a seemingly obscure question only to find that within minutes two or three people have the exact information you are looking for. How many of us know godly single men and women? How easy would it be to find people who would at least be potential matches?
It seems a shame not to use it for this aspect of the Christian life as well.
