NOTHING compares to, "Trains, Planes, and Automobiles" when Steve Martin tried to get a rental car - OR "Clercs" and the ordering of movies (Happy Scrappy Hero Pup) scene.

Oh my gawd TT that scene in "Trains, Planes and Automobiles" was absolutely the funniest thing I have ever heard.....I still laugh a big huge belly laugh, tears rolling down my cheeks everytime I see that movie and that scene in paticular!

That was for me the first time I had ever really felt that the "F" word was used appropiately, now I "should" be sad to say it takes very little to make the use of THAT word seem right........me bad!

bc of the cuses like a sailor class

blondie

Please, Blondie, don't hate me. I won't swear anymore (at least tonight). Promise...

Windchaser, I don't hate anyone for swearing. But I do think one f**k per sentence is best.

I figure swearing is like spices, a little is good, too much ruins the dish.

But I hate gossipers and liars. I'm sure you do too.

(I should proofread these better)

This made me smile.

For me, once I got to the place where I was actually "thinking" the naughty word(s) anyway, but holding back on saying it (them---one is usually never enough for me), I felt that 'god' knew what was in my heart anyway. The only reasons for holding back on the verbal was proper etiquette.

I do admit, that once I got "out", I spoke freely among those who I felt might be "moved" more if I expressed myself by swearing. I have only ever used three words....F###, D###, and S###, and in a very bad fit, might even say G## D###. ( I don't use J#### C##### )

In my first marriage, when I got to the place where I used these words, my husband knew I meant business. It got his attention. Since he knew that I didn't swear, by nature, he would come back with taunts about my "supposedly being a christian", and how he was going to have to contact the brothers and let them know, etc. That got to me at first. Then I just got tougher. I handed him the phone, and told him to go for it, that they didn't have power over me anymore. That shut him up good.

Blondie,

At first reading of your post I couldn't understand what swearing had to do with gossiping. You said:

I find that many JWs who would rather choke that say a swear word, will gossip about others in the congregation without a qualm of conscience.

I presume you mean that it is what comes out of the mouth that defiles us, and in your view, malicious gossip is worse than swearing?

I agree.

I'm OK with most swearing, in Brit culture 4 letter sexual swear words are not used in anything other than the most basic company, certainly it's not acceptable in written form. That's why our UK site owner hates it being used on his board.

Englishman, I'm sorry I wasn't clear. Yes, I hate gossip and feel people do more hurt with their mouth that way than any swear word. I grew up around a lot of non-JW family who had quite colorful language. But they were the kindest people to me and my brothers and still are.

Definately.

When I was very small, I used to say Jiminey Crickets and Cripe, all the time.
