a quiet moment on the beach

by teejay in

there was a commercial on tv tonight during a football game... .

a couple with their backs to the camera were sitting on a beach facing a crystal blue sea.

soft, tropical breezes blew, seabirds called to one another, gentle waves crashed onto a pristine golden shore.

He has mixed feels about men checking me out though. Part of him is proud that he has a woman that can attract men, but there's the "hey, that's mine" element that's hard to ignore.

So is he jealous, B? Does he think you're someone he could lose?

Personally, it kinda turns me on when men are attracted to my wife. They see what I saw when I was first attracted to her. I'd hate having a woman that didn't attract attention.

We've even been places where old male friends of hers were obviously delighted to see her and I gave her space to renew acquaintances.

Does this mean I'm secure? Or indifferent?

"Undeserved kindness" is letting someone's wrong go...being kind to them even though they don't deserve it. Grace has a different intonation of LOVE...not just being kind...but being LOVING when someone doesn't deserve it and letting their sin slide ? Billygoat

With due respect, Andi, I think the JW's theology had it right?undeserved kindness is an accurate synonym for "grace"?it's just in the practice of the Christian provision that they, as a group, fail. Do Christians outside of the JW religion practice it consistently all the time? I'm fairly safe saying an emphatic NO. But I get your point.

Although I don't claim to be a Christian or even to believe in god, your concept of "grace" is where I'm at now-a-days. We are all, for the lack of a better term, sinners. Who am I to think that my way is better than yours or anybody else's? For more than half my life--thirty years--I lived a life that I now fully reject. What delusion would now lead me to think that I have ANYTHING figured out? With my overwhelming ignorance constantly in mind, how could I ever feel comfortable instructing another on which way to go, which way is right or wrong?

Hey, Billygoat,

Sounds like you and Mozz have it just like it's supposed to be.

Being the manly man that I am, I couldn't care less if my wife sees, looks at, even adores, other (notice, I said "other") fantabulous looking men. She, however, is not as enlightened as you or I when it comes to me doing the same. May I give you her number? Perhaps y'all can have a little chat.

As far as I understand it, grace is the same as the JW's concept of underserved kindness (or mercy). Other than that, I don't know what grace is.

"It is truly difficult to have a fine relationship with narrow-minded people who see everything only from their perspective, not allowing for differences of opinion, taste and preference..."

Oh, the irony!

Is Jesus Christ and Michael Jackson one and the same person?

by Swan in

consider the following.... mj moonwalks; jc walks on water.

coincidence?.

jc looks different in all of his pictures (compare michaelangelo's last supper with listening to the great teacher); mj looks different in all of his pictures.

MJ called his pet chimp Bubbles; the same nickname JC gave to Mary Magdalene!

That was wrong!

Things that you hate.............

by Sunnygal41 in

i just recently received an email from a friend who i have been trying to get to know over the internet who informed me after a stray comment/question i made that they were ending the friendship, and not to even bother emailing any type of response back to them, as it would be deleted without being read.

don't you just hate when people do that?

it's like they've morally tried and condemned you without you being able to defend yourself..........i'm furious, of course, but, hey if the person won't even listen to me, what can i do?

teejay

People who make assumptions about what I'm saying without really hearing me.

People who say, "I don't know," when you ask their opinion.

Know-it-alls.

People who are never wrong.

Stupid people.

There was a commercial on TV tonight during a football game...

A couple with their backs to the camera were sitting on a beach facing a crystal blue sea. Soft, tropical breezes blew, seabirds called to one another, gentle waves crashed onto a pristine golden shore. The mood couldn't have been any more mellow. Life couldn?t be better.

Then... disaster strikes!

Arguably the most gorgeous woman you've ever laid eyes on?I mean she's simply fantabulous?with the most striking body?you know what I'm sayin'? ?in the cutest little bikini?I mean it's so, sooo perfect?walks right in front of the couple.

The man, realizing the predicament with his wife sitting right next to him, does everything humanly possible to keep from looking at the glorious vision, but hey!!... he *is* a man. He glimpsed at her ever so briefly. Without a word, wifey took the lime off the top of hubby's beer and squirted the side of his face with it. After letting it trickle down his face for a bit, he wiped the juice off his face. End of commercial.

Sans the bikini, this scenario plays out everyday in more places than just beaches -- the mall; the grocery store; at a restaurant. Lots of places. Question: is there any possible way for the man in such a scenario to come out of it unscathed? Is the woman (or, are women) destined to feel a threat? Does a negative reaction on her part signal anything about the quality of the relationship? Do women *REALLY* expect men not to look?

Me? In that situation I'd give the woman a respectable once over and just say, "Dayumm!!" and then look over at the wife and wink at her. I figure: wifey is gonna be mad anyway, might as well enjoy the view.

Buy the Virgin Mary - Then Eat Her.

by hillary_step in

virgin on the ridiculous.

go to ebay and use the words virgin mary toast in the search box.

teejay

I don't think that chick on the grilled cheese looked like Mary at all. I mean... didn't The Virgin? have blue eyes?

Yeah. I thought so.
