We would OTHERWISE sound like ex-cins

iwas the executive director of a mission/shelter for just over four years; then lived in one for a couple of months.. during that time i met many ex-cons, who would congregate and share "war stories" about when they were in the joint[b], the way we exes do about when we were [b]in the b'org.. the only real difference, as i see it, is that the prisons (at least here in michigan) assign you an inmate number which is yours for life.

if there are subsequent incarcerations, the system changes the number by affixing an alphabetical character to the original number -- so that prisoner #1234567, becomes prisoner #a1234567 the second time he is incarcerated, #b1234567 the second ... and so on.. it occured to me, a minute ago, that if the b'org had given us publisher id #s we might actually have a whole lot in common with those who have been incarcerated.. keep the faith.

joseph f. alward, posted the following:.

i believe there are many on this forum who are not aware of the many online bibles from which they could almost effortless copy verses to paste into their arguments.

when one refers to a particular verse in a particular book, few readers have the patience to go seach through the whole book.
