Huh?

What brought up the thought is meeting people who were "born again" and people who went through a long dark night of the soul. [glowing generality] It seems that born-again folks don't seem as whole as dark-night folks. [/glowing generality] It is as if that pain and struggle creates a new...

With George W in office, no one's tax dollars are safe!

OK, we all know what people mean when they talk about being born again, right? They mean that the "found Jesus" and suddenly the world is rosey red. But let's think about it: When we are born, is the world rosey red? No. The world is bright, loud, and cold. Being born is a dangerous...

Paul didn't talk about sexual orientation. That concept would have been foreign to him.

Darn! That was good! Exactly the way I remember it! But they must have put a "slow virus" in my mineral water because it took 20 years for the mind control to take effect.

I totally do not understand why someone would sit in line for 5 days to get an iPhone. Is a silly toy worth giving 5 days of your life? People will not give a Sunday morning to God but will give 5 days of their lives to an idol. Maybe people don't see this as idol worship. Can someone...

But that is what the ex-gay folks offer. Sad, isn't it.

So what is your suggestion? (Not asked as a challenge but out of interest.)

No, he has been out of it for what...28 years now, why would he be in it?

Sounds like entrapment to me. Besides, by the time I got here, the post was "ed". Thanks for quoting so I could see it.

Good old Spraty has been quiet for a while.

Aye!
