Ad for leaf blowing on craigslist

[christian-surfer]

I posted an ad on craiglist saying I had a leaf blower and all I get is responses from people looking for gay sex. One response said "meet for cofee?".
I responded that I could meet them some Sunday at a local church, indicating in some sense my attitude about the whole thing. They persisted with more allusions to what they were interested "fun guy stuff" they call it. I said "hey this is an ad for yardwork" and I got more of the same and I said I didn't like this type of response. Then I get: "Me too it's me. No disrespect to you just always looking for some fun ".

I am tempted to continue with the, "hey, if you want to meet at the church Sunday service, that would be fine" (a conservative church that holds views contrary to theirs). Most people would probably want to ignore them I am sure

My impression is there are a lot of gays around. So, I would think they would have others who want the same thing so they would be satisfied. Yet, ones come after me. But Jesus satisfies me better than pleasure stuff does. So, if I am satisfied deeper and better than pleasure . . . it can be easy to have self control.

"'Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.'" (Matthew 11:29)

If I told them that I don’t follow pagan lifestyles then I am possibly headed down the road of offending someone. if I suggest in some way that they consider what the Bible says or what I think then I am somehow have to worry about the same thing. They were the one who initiated the conversation and said things that I don’t like but the way the culture is I may likely get in trouble and yet Christianity is supposed to include trying to evangelize

It's probably the word "blowing" in the title. Just change it to something like "leaf removal".

Years ago craigslist was used for escort services (who often used euphemisms for their services), before they started cracking down on that, so that my be a source of the possible confusion.

Most people that are looking to deal with leaves are probably looking for complete lawn care services, and not really interested in paying just for somebody to blow leaves off their property, so you might have better luck looking into that.
