Reminds me of Flip Wilson's "The devil made me do it."

This thread saddens me, honestly. Because there are a lot of men here who will choose to believe the OP. Let me tell you, the girl exists. Ask me how I know. I wonder how many would believe me. Blaming others for your own fear shows a serious lack of self awareness, forget insight into the heart of another.
https://wordfromthewell.com/2012/08/03/l......ght-now/ "So when looking at your decisions, be very honest with yourself. How many of your choices are fear-based? If the majority of your choices are fear-based, then your life will be full of suffering. That is the tragic irony of fear-based existence. You believe that fear-based decisions will ease your suffering, because they temporarily make you feel more secure. In reality, they only increase your suffering. If you truly wish to suffer less, then live life from a place of love. Love yourself. Do what you do from a place of love" |

Here is the SAD part to me. I would have HOPED we evolved past this crap.
Personally I am happy we can all be different people and "men" are not one single thing. I toured comedy clubs for about a decade as a headline act. Now when you are on the road for 45 weeks a year it bites. But to me it was more about what I was working FOR or towards. Not about in the moment. (Little good it did me, my practice wife left no matter if I was faithful as could be!) But even now my wife and I spend much of a year apart in different countries. To me what is special is the time we ARE together! And the thing is it IS easy! It is easy to just dedicate yourself to one person. Maybe it is an outdated idea I am not sure. I have lots of those. I know I was the strange on in the comedy club scene that was for sure. Everyone is entitled to do things and live life the way they see fit. It is simply not a good way for ME to live I guess. And if that is what some women are looking for, that also is up to them.

Oh I see. You haven't read the whole letter. Pity. It's quite good.

If you want to claim that Paul was doing just the opposite, than maybe it would serve you to post the portion that shows that, instead of just the part that shows just the opposite.

I have to say generally speaking rockwall reads sources asked. You may disagree with his conclusions, but you can't accurately say he doesn't read the material.
Just how much research is one required to do in order to simply post here anyhow?

Opus made a quick comment comparing the quotation to Flip Wilson. I made a quick reply that the intent was the opposite. 3. Rockwall claimed that the intent of the piece is to be found only in the worlds quoted. AFAIK he still hasn't read the entire letter. 4. Rockwall now, rather than read the letter, asks that I quote more of it, to save him the bother of doing his own reading. The Letter begins here. You'll have to navigate to read the entire thing. Here's the Sparks Notes In short, Paul notes the internal conflict between intellectual desire to do what is right, and the constant urging to sin. After much searching, he concludes that the power of faith is what makes it possible for the internal struggle to be decided in favour of (God's) goodness.

Rather notoriously, rockwall claims that he doesn't need to understand science to see that it's wrong. But he does admit that he doesn't understand iphones, and needs the Apple employees to figure things out for him.

Who saw that strawberry moon last night? So pretty. I tried to capture it awhile- all kinds of different settings, but I'm not sure how my pics and video turned out, need to check them on the big screen. I think that's the first I've heard of a strawberry moon- someone kept posting on facebook that there was going to be one, but I didn't take notice of the date. But I pretty much knew it when I saw it, last night, when I was lucky enough to be taking out the garbage.(  !) I looked up to my sister's window. It was open, so I called up to her and advised her to come take a look at the moon. She did, too.
