Just having some fun.
Nothing personal.
Did not take it personal. It was an OK show, kinda too silly for my liking. Never did like the "spy" shows/movies, even before I went in.
lmaorof,,,,,,,,,I dont know why , but the statement " when I was in the spy business" is funny to me, not doubting you at all, but the way I can hear you saying it is funny.lol
Sth: I agree with everything Suzanne Venker wrote, except for one thing: that every woman needs a man.
She falls into the same trap she decries: generalizing that the whole is the same for each individual, but it's not, and many women don't 'need' a man.
For much of my life, I did, [kids should have two parents] but I don't now, and I'm doin ok without one.
I've never equated 'equality' with 'identical', BTW - men and women are different, and the way to deal with that is to use each other's strength to complement one's own weaknesses: win/win.
If marriage is becoming more difficult [and geez, it was hard enough before, when I did it!] maybe it's because people don't accurately judge their own weaknesses & strengths.....beats me.

My My....freight must be slow. Four pages added in 24 hours....or so?
I do find much humor when people pull versus from the bible, such as Math 7:1. Let's clear the decks on that one. This verse is even misconstrued by a huge number of Christians and simply means in context that we must exercise righteous judgment. Another point being Corinth 1:5
[12] For what have I to do to judge them also that are without? do not ye judge them that are within?
[13] But them that are without God judgeth. Therefore put away from among yourselves that wicked person.
Those within the body of Christ are to most certainly judge all things in the church. However, those outside the church/unbelievers are to be left alone for God to judge. This is where shunning comes into play (abused by some churches of course) When someone IN THE CHURCH goes astray, that person is to be cast out from membership for God to judge, and may return following any correction or Holy Spirit blessing.
There is no platform for religious views in this forum, so I will not attempt to create one. However, I do tend to hit the keyboard when religious confusion becomes apparent. Many former homosexuals have come to The Church and the consequent denouncing and regret for that practice is well documented.

Christ did not spend his time chastising homosexuals, drunkards, thieves etc. Just a simple statement will do......you will in no way enter the kingdom of Heaven.

The "Loading Dock" is the forum for religious views. You are welcome to talk religion there. I cannot say what may happen or how it will be answered.

Got it. Comments throughout the thread had touched on certain religious aspects, so no harm in a rebuttal comment?
No problem for rebuttal comments. Don't be surprised if some don't take it in the spirit meant.

Sorry, dude, it's gone. And it aint coming back, neither. [/SIZE][/SIZE]
And neither has Sodom and Gomorrah.................
Sad to say.........and it may not happen for Generations and Generations to come......But the Cheris..The Randys....The Witnesses.....IN OUR LIFETIME.....are just the catalyst for what God has in play concerning the future of mankind.
As of today the wonderful folks at HRC, (In)Human Rights Campaign are not satisfied. BSA's decision to admit homosexuals but to leave it up to each individual troop to make their own decision is not enough for them. It doesn't matter that it's far more than the no, not now and not ever that they should have been given. It doesn't matter that if it's going to be done it's the logical way to do it. All that matters is the most radical change possible wasn't affected so they will continue with their assault on BSA.
