I never said that. Why do you assume every women is not a Jezebel? How did it work out for Joseph to be alone with Potiphar's wife?

what about your mother or your daughter?
In what context are you behind closed doors with women?
stupid. I work with lots of women and are behind closed doors with them very often. Some are very attractive. So what? Am I tempted? No, we deal with each other on a professional basis.
the church has a three person rule
If you really understood sin and the power that sin has you wouldn't be so flippant. I put your comments down to ignorance with a hint of your usual malice for the truth.

Good for you.
You appear to have your mind made up. If you are 100% sure that you can trust yourself completely, that you can trust every woman you might find yourself alone with implicitly and that you are 100% confident that a misunderstanding will never occur that might lead to questioning your integrity, then I guess there is no reason that someone as confident as yourself should consider employing the strategies of someone as cautious as Billy Graham.
The bible never commands such a thing so you are clearly free to choose not to take his advise.
I sincerely hope it works out for you and if it doesn't you have no one to blame but yourself.
Here is the issue, God has promised us that we can live fruitful mature victorious lives because of the power of the Holy Spirit. If we place a rule like this upon ourselves what we are doing is acting as if we are slaves to sin. My faith in God is that he will sustain my ministry. If rumors happen I leave it to him to protect me.
Furthermore I am commanded to love others as Christ loves. If I were to look at a brother's wife to lust for her then how is that loving my brother as God loves him? This is a simple commandment. If I lust after a single woman in the congregation how is that loving her as Christ does? Simple.
Without faith it is impossible to please God.

Was it Pleistonax who said, "Woman brings two days of happiness to a man; the first day when he marries her, and the last day when he buries her."

:nono: They can both hurt me, I want witnesses! My daughter is 6'1" and my mother swings a mean cast iron skillets.
:think: 3? What if it is my mother and daughter?

I just started reading this thread and stopped. A question: Are you a man or woman?

I feel Billy Graham's pain/sin. I'm uncomfortable in a room with a woman.
It's men who are the innocents....they would not believe what wimmin say among themselves, they will say you tried it on, that is the least guaranteed thing they will say.

I am against making rules because they deprive you of your sovereign right to act intelligently as the situation calls for. However, as general guidance, what BG says is very wise.
