In your blogroll, you’ve probably come across themed days, like “Quick Take Fridays,” “Wordless Wednesdays,” etc. I had an idea for my own: Think Again Thursdays!
It happens quite often that I will come across some blog, some news story, some “informational” web page that totally dishes on natural methods of family planning, calling it ineffective, the Rhythm Method (it’s not the $#%! Rhythm Method!), or worse, something blasphemous about the church community and people of faith whose religion endorses NFP, family, children, and doesn’t buy into population control and the overpopulation myth.
Well, I can’t ask you all to write a letter or make a comment every day of the week, or every time I run across some misinformed person, which is often, but I thought it would be great to choose one day a week to bring to your attention someone who’s got the wrong idea about NFP, and to rally the pro-fertility troops to comment away, blog away, and email the unfortunate persons who frankly, need to THINK AGAIN.
WHAT CAN YOU DO?
- Check out the featured post of each Thursday, and comment/blog/ write away. Please be charitable, even in the face of disrespect.
- Tell other people about Think Again Thursdays at NFPworks–use the share button on this entry for your social networking site of choice, or send out an email.
- Find something ridiculous? Send it to me, and I’ll take a crack at it and post if it’s related.
Stay tuned for todays premier post!

Thanks, Elizabeth! We’ve go to organize and comment/ blog away, and perhaps we can make enough waves via social networking to get someone’s attention!
I get so incredibly annoyed when people call it the Rythm Method too…it’s not 1950 anymore people! GAH! This is a wonderful idea!!!!
Thanks, Maggie.
Don’t we all. I wish I had the start up money to sell NFP products that say “It’s not the Rhythm method.”
a great blog- really interested to find out about it! God bless, from Robert keep up the great work.
Thanks so much, Robert. Keep looking and reading. I’ve had NFPworks for a couple years, so check out the archives!
GREAT idea, Jess! Looking forward to future Thursdays
