Hey, :wave: Yeah I still remember you. We could use your help to liven up this forum a bit. Its been missing the lively discussions we were so accustomed to.

Nice to see Bill and Rose here too. :)

You all should join us more often, could be fun Ya know :p
Could be!

I'm not sure if you can beat "masturbation threads", though. That would be hard to pull off.

A little OT but now I am curious. Do Lutherans think masturbation is a sin? Just a Yes or No...is enough. Associated with synodical positions, of course..WELS, LCMS, ELCA. Thanks
Yes, I do. I am part of the LCMC. (Lutheran Congregations in Mission for Christ).

Is it ever just a yes/no answer with us? ^_^

I think everyone should know how to bait a hook and become proficient at it to the point that they become a "master-baiter". Right?

That much I can agree with. I love fishing. Anyone up for some Puget Sound catfish?

Jesus never masturbated, thus it is a sin.

And for those of you out there who say "well, Jesus never got married"

-- wrong.

The church is the bride of Christ.

It isn't an sin to email. If you can find anywhere in the law that says to not email, you let me know. There is also nothing in the bible that forbids man from smoking crack or shooting heroine into their eyeballs. Does that make it a good idea? no, but it also means that doing drugs isn't a sin. However, even if it were not a sin, there is still a more perfect way, to live your life exactly like Jesus lived his life.

I have not nor do I ever expect a private message from walloffire. However, I have read quite a few of their posts within the forums. I am not impressed. While trying not to be judgmental, I do find that many of the posts by walloffire are rather argumentative and do not necessarily serve a purpose beyond causing trouble and contention. This would also include the repeated habit of resurrecting dead threads. I personally feel that if a thread is more than three months old, it should stay dead and a new thread of that same topic can be started. No point in resurrecting a dead thread and possibly opening old wounds. Unfortunately, this is what I feel walloffire has done on a repeated basis. Ultimately I can not and will not judge walloffire, but I feel I can express my honest opinion of their actions. I would certainly hope that walloffire would reconsider their actions and cease causing trouble.

Hey, I was just trying to use the same type of method of connection that you had used earlier...and as you just proved, it doesn't work ;)

ha :tutu:
