I'm sorry to hear about your problem.Originally posted by AFDaw@May 4 2004, 01:10 PM
...I have a problem with the reason WHY though.

I'm considering that what you are thinking is pretty much what they are thinking.Originally posted by AFDaw@May 4 2004, 12:10 PM
I can't believe that there are people that actually think like this. It's amazing to me really.

Paraphrasing a beloved contributor to this site:Originally posted by Davis@Apr 23 2004, 11:18 PM
This despicable action makes a mockery of city government, of marriage, and of our sacred beliefs and ordinances.
Personally I don't get why anyone would get frothy about it. If the Moose Lodge or the Hairless Pagans for Dynokinetic Renewal were to proxy marry my great-great-great cousin, once removed, on my mother's side to my long lost gay uncle, I don't think I would care one jot; maybe a tittle, but not a jot.

Key/hint word in above silliness: palms.Originally posted by Snow@Apr 24 2004, 01:06 PM
In a completely unrelated story, I have been proxy-married to Rita Hayworth, Lauren Bacall, Rebbecca Romjin, Halley Berry and Liz McFarlane from my senior year, 5th period and tonight, we are all going to make wild monkey proxy-love under the swaying proxy palms and starlight.

No Rodney, anywhere, anytime, any home. There is NO rule against smelling coffee :) Which is why I said originally "There's no rule against smelling coffee :)"

In your own home, as you wake up in the morning?Originally posted by AFDaw@Apr 18 2004, 11:21 PM

That the act of drinking coffee can reduce one to the status of hypocrite should be a clue that somebody's "fruit" is just a tad bit rotten.Originally posted by Starsky@Apr 18 2004, 05:32 PM
Maybe it is because of the hypocrisy.....but then you can't drink coffee and stay active and not become a hypocrite....can you?
-
Uh-huh, so maybe that's the big problem. Maybe if a certain religion allowed its members to wake up and smell the coffee, those very members might actually come to their senses, in more ways than one.Originally posted by Jenda@Apr 18 2004, 03:02 PM
...Why don't you wake up and smell the coffee and admit the truth?...

Are you sure somebody looking like him didn't say this?

Did he have a good night's sleep before he said this?
-
How loudly did he say this?
-
To whom did he say this?

Where did he say this?

Oh, I think it's always been totally conventional.Originally posted by Snow@Mar 31 2004, 05:01 PM
...For years, general authorities in General Conf and the Ensign have been teaching that the love of Christ is UNconventional. Who's right? Which view is doctrinal? Does doctrine contradict doctrine?
Maybe you oughta slow down there Mr Omniscient Momo. I know this site has become a playground for you, with antishock and bat out of commission. Seems you're letting the boredom affect your concentration. Are you finding your latest challenge of correcting the believers a bit over daunting? Pathetic. There's gotta be something better that your Momo God has for you to do. Go lead a bunch of pimple faced boy scouts on a 100 mile hike or something....
Ehhh, I ramble with great sillyness. I blame myself, but mostly I blame the JD&Cokes..................,. j;jm

This I'm dying to see...Originally posted by Peace@Mar 29 2004, 12:22 PM
Wow....I am totally speechless....

Like the poor, homosexuals will always be with us. The trick is to keep them from becoming a source of unrest.

Not certain why that should seem either shocking or incredible. We are talking Mother Goose here, right?Originally posted by Peace@Mar 29 2004, 01:09 AM
It said it was in the same box as the plates?

Suppose there's irrepressible condescension and then there's bombastic pomposity. Not sure which irritates my stomach lining more.Originally posted by serapha@Mar 28 2004, 04:09 PM
Just for clarity, I'm not in this latest "discussion", nor am I going to participate. I do hope to bring this thread into a resurrection to life status when some other foundational beliefs are discussed and identified.... if there's anything left to resurrect.

Why? I'm certain we're all dying to see how this publicly turns into a "Gospel Discussion."Originally posted by Peace@Mar 27 2004, 04:36 PM
I'll PM you.

I remember someone somewhere saying that you can't offend the offensive. Don't suppose that applies to mocking though, does it.Originally posted by Spencer@Mar 27 2004, 01:45 PM
I dont buy your explanation for one moment. So ill ask again, please do not mock us.
Spencer
Anyway, I'll do my best to avoid the appearance of mocking.

in many cases a condescending attitude often reveals a modicum of defensive fear. At least I've noticed it in myself when I'm guilty of exhibiting such attitudes.
yeah,
I know that you have been throught the emotional ride that a lot of us have, so you have an understanding of some of our motivations. Don't mistake that for understanding all motivations in all situations. If a am condescending (that's not really questionable) it could be out of annoyance, anger, lack of social grace, hurriedness, etc or defensiveness (because of an assumed inherrent inferiority in my position), then again, I may just think it is funny or maybe better yet, I think it is a way to throw the other party off their game.
Your insight is decent enough but it only goes so far..
No disagreement here. In fact, you may or may not have noticed the words I used to quantify my statement, i.e., "...in many cases..."

I am not a real psychiatrist, I only play one on television. But there is a certain burning in my bosom, a little voice whispering in my inner ear telling me that in many cases a condescending attitude often reveals a modicum of defensive fear. At least I've noticed it in myself when I'm guilty of exhibiting such attitudes. Think of someone holding tightly to something they've grown to treasure as, well, treasure, only to have someone come along and suggest that their "treasure" is actually a load of worthless rubbish. Chances are you're going to get either a lot of defensive posturing or a ton of glib condescending rebuttal. Either way, the person holding tightly to his treasure will probably increase his stranglehold rather than relinquish it and usually the more you try to convince/belittle them the tighter they squeeze.
Rodney, Please do not mock us.
Sorry if you feel I'm mocking you. Not my intention at all. Just trying to use words and phrases with which readers of this site might more readily identify. Am I not as capable as the next person to have and express feelings and conclusions no matter how illogical or fatuous they may seem?
