NeuroTypical Posted March 28, 2011 Report Posted March 28, 2011 I loved teaching the Gospel Principles class. The very best, was when we had an investigator, a guy who wore his riding leathers to church and was going through a divorce (who had suffered abuse at the hands of his wife), a 'grounded member' who had been assigned to come because she was still very loudly wrong about a lot of the basics, a habitual single member, and me (still learning). It was never boring. We got on each other's nerves. We learned from each other. We struggled, not just to love each other, but to stand being in the same room as each other. I've since heard the phrase "God's awkward squad" - I wish I had heard it at the time, because it fit us perfectly. That class is for boulders who are in the process of rolling downhill to knock off some of the corners, before they can become perfected spheres. It's not for people who have it all figured out.

Iggy Posted March 29, 2011 Report Posted March 29, 2011 Actually, I would prefer you started a new thread so this one stays on topic of whining about Gospel Proinciples class. Never heard of it, what kind of class??:whip:Slamjet, I'm not going to hijack your thread, and because john doe is such a putz, I am NOT going to start another thread, either. anatess- are you selling tickets to go with that popcorn?? If so, then I want my share. Quote

If so, then I want my share. While that term may be tossed around willy-nilly by you and yours, I'm borderline offended that you would use it here, and especially on me. It's not my fault that you can't figure out how to start a new thread. Quote

It's not my fault that you can't figure out how to start a new thread. I didn't need to start a new thread- and John, you take offense way too easily, most especially where NONE was intended.I found the Pet Peeves thread, and posted to it.

Iggy Posted March 29, 2011 Report Posted March 29, 2011 After that whipping you gave me! Oh, okay- keep it THIS time.You are a good sport- how many siblings do you have? You come across as having a sis or two. Sisters who teased you. Me, I have/had 6 siblings. Two brothers and four sisters. Two of my sisters have long since passed away. Also grew up around my Mom's two brothers- who teased me unmercifully. Quote
slamjet Posted March 29, 2011 Author Report Posted March 29, 2011 1 older sister, 2 younger brothers. And yes, I was the one who was the butt of everything. I've gotten pretty decent at reading between the lines so I knew what you meant. And you meant that you have a venomous hatred of me :D:D:D In any case, I give all posters a benefit of the doubt because we type and post fast sometimes without really working it well and entering the smileys.

If I even disliked you I would ignore you. Most times I give up on the smilies, because for all the ones this forum does offer, quite often there just isn't the right one I would like to use. Quote
slamjet Posted March 29, 2011 Author Report Posted March 29, 2011 Middle finger or mooning smileys are not appropriate for this forum. Quote
Iggy Posted March 29, 2011 Report Posted March 29, 2011 Middle finger or mooning smileys are not appropriate for this forum. Yikes!How about, forehead slapping - facepalm.I don't know how to insert pictures, or even where to find the ones you and Dravin do. On my IncrediMail email program, I have some great emotioncons aka Smilies. Can't do those here! I'll make do with the ones offered here. Quote
Dravin Posted March 29, 2011 Report Posted March 29, 2011 (edited) And I found one for anatess See, I would have expected this one:Maybe with this one in front of it: It's perfect, now she can just say:I know some of these and they need . Edited March 29, 2011 by Dravin Quote
Iggy Posted March 29, 2011 Report Posted March 29, 2011 whine: but they are not amongst the smilies offered here. :doh:Found just one. Thanks guys, you both are a hoot. Quote
Dravin Posted March 29, 2011 Report Posted March 29, 2011 All you have to do is quote a post to see how the image was added. Quote
Guest Posted March 29, 2011 Report Posted March 29, 2011 NO NO NO! They have passports! They don't have visas... Quote
Dravin Posted March 29, 2011 Report Posted March 29, 2011 (edited) NO NO NO! They have passports! They don't have visas... Yeah, but a visa search pulls up the credit/debit card for the size image I was looking for... Edited March 29, 2011 by Dravin Quote
The_Phoenix Posted March 29, 2011 Report Posted March 29, 2011 There should be a ban on all folks who have been a member of the church for over five years, and/or have permission from the Bishop, or are accompanying a non-member or new member friend or family member to attend this class. I'm majorly annoyed when folks who have been members for decades come into the class and take up the time to bear their testimony and preach to the class. We have a teacher, go away.Yea, I got annoyed this past Sunday. I won't do it again, I promise. Quote
