while i was in high school in the mid 60's i was told that the end was so near that i would not get to graduate from high school so i should not be concerned about being drafted due to the war in vietnam.

well i got drafted but did not pass my physical due to a medical problem.. i then considered go to school in the late 60's to enter the medical field.

i was encouraged by the elders not to do this because the end is so near and why get schooling for a profession that you will not need in a few years?

so much for spiritual guidance. pressuring people on private matters such as career, education and personal finances is just insane.

what's the historical background of angels and angel wings in gay culture?.

joelbear

actually the growing gay bear culture that I belong to had its roots in gay biker sex parties in san francisco in the early 1980s. a bar was opened for these guys called the lone star and migrated from being a gay biker bar to being a gay bear bar. the biker look is still very much a part of the gay bear scene.

joelbear

in the late 1600's a Franciscan monk named errrr Bruce, theorized that since all angels were drawn and believed to be male, that angels then indeed were gay. this seems reasonable to the other monks in his monastery, Yves, Ethan, and Neville. so they began to incorporate gay illustrations in the illuminated manuscripts they were working on.

through the centuries this tradition of depicting angels as handsome, sexually appealing and fabulous continued.

now, every gay home has an angel in it.

How greedy is "greedy"?

by scout575 in

at 1 corinthians 5:11 christians are commanded "not to keep company" and "not to eat" with a fellow believer who is "covetous" ( greedy - nwt ).

what signs of greediness in a fellow believer would make a christian obey this nt command and begin to "not keep company" and 'not eat' with his or her greedy, fellow christian?

joelbear

self interest is not greed. we have to have a certain amount of it to survive and thrive, but when we let this get out of control and continue to want more and more beyond what we need, that is greed.
