Dubs putting smiley faces and scriptures on notes they send you.

I am not necessarily referring to the scriptures they quote in greeting cards. Although this is enough to make you barf because it makes the person sending it out to be so "spiritual" (whether they are or not) and also it makes a false impression that they love you (whether they do or not).

What I am really referring to is when one of them needs a favor from you and they send you a note and put a smiley face at the bottom and quote some scripture. It always made me angry inside. It presumes that I will do whatever they ask just "because". Now, generally I would be reasonable to any person regardless of whether they were a dub or not. But there is a flip side to this: if I didn't like the person or thought they were asking something outrageous I certainly would not.

Honesty

i am an apostate so I quit getting any of those spiritually upbuilding messages some time back. Tell us what your latest one said.

It was a while ago and it was from who lives near me who wanted me to do something for him/her.

Send a note back, saying something like -

Sorry, I won't be able to do it.
Numbers 3:36,37 - "And the oversight for which the sons of Me·rar´i were obligated was over the panel frames of the tabernacle and its bars and its pillars and its socket pedestals and all its utensils and all its service, and the pillars of the courtyard round about and their socket pedestals and their tent pins and their tent cords."

I think they're counting time.

POs Son

I am personally disgusted with their constant use of "agape". It is neat that one definition of this Greek term for brotherly love is: in a funerary context, a love feast shared with the deceased; in Christian rites, often associated with the celebration of the Eucharist

PO's son:

Yes, I also hated the over-use of the term "Agape". That was reserved for the "tough love" situations when they didn't really like someone but had to at least appear christian or humane.

Kind of like sliding food through a hole to the lion in the zoo. Makes you feel all warm and cozy.
