Is that praying or preying?

You're hot, tonight, baby.

Feels like preying to me! That's when someone is not down on their knees but up on their haunches ready for attack.

Lash,

That's okay. I don't need your forgiveness to forgive you. As far as I'm concerned, the past is the past. If you don't want to make amends, then you don't. No problem.

I will keep you in my prayers.

MA- Can't you see how smug, how obnoxiously supercilious what you are saying sounds?

If I have a problem, and a religious friend says that she will say a prayer for me, my attitude is, "all good wishes gratefully accepted". That is NOT what you are saying to Lash, though. IMO, you are being insulting and disrespectful.

Phoenix,

That is definitely not the way I meant that at all. Shocked

I honestly mean that I can just get past this and let it go. I don't mean any offense in any way.

I may not like what she is doing right now or how she feels about me and I won't deny that but I'm not trying to be disrespectful and insult her.

Phoenix,

I am so grateful you recognise it. I am grateful that you said so, too.

You know, this is getting kind of ridiculous. I keep trying to be nice to Lash and treat her with respect no matter what she throws at me. Now, I can't even tell someone I am praying for them without being accused of something? Shocked

What?

I don't visit the forums for an hour and suddenly this emotionally charged fight starts up between Lash and Momma? Last I read, both were on the same side regarding homosexuality.

And now because of a few poor choice of words, we've got a little fight that shouldn't be happening?

I apologise sincerely on behalf of everyone in these forums and must state that in no ways is this apology meant to be condescending or insulting in any way. If it is, I apologise, for that is not the intent.

MA- IMO, people who disagree with another person, and then say that they are "praying for them", are not being empathic. The implicit message, is, "I think that you don't know what you are talking about, and I will pray for you so that my god will show you the right (translate: my) way".

It is not being respectful. In fact, IMO, it is downright insulting!!!

Get a grip Wolf, you have nothing to do with this. MOAN has created for herself a lack of credibility with some members which she will never overcome. She also thinks that she is the center of the universe, and that all things refer to her.

So she gets busted for being egocentric, conceited and false. She doesn't like it, and she has a catty personality which leads her to lash out at people at the least hint of criticism.

Personally, i enjoy it, because it shows her true character.

I am curious as to what you would say in your prayers with reference to Lash. Be honest, MA!

Phoenix--

She would be glad to spew a hypocritical "prayer" about me here, which would be full of veiled insults, and seemingly approved by God.

I have known too many of these people. I was raised among them. I've heard self-serving, manipulative, intentionally insulting prayers, aimed by little women, directed at other little women. I can see them coming a mile away.

I hope she has the sense not to perform such a vile act.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Wolf, when you apologise for something you had nothing to do with, it is dishonest. Say what you mean, instead. I'd rather hear it honestly.

It's being pathetically condescending to pray for someone as if they had some kind of affliction. You pray an alcoholic sobers up, or a person with a serious affliction can get a cure, or a war ends -- too many pray that their football team will win or they will get a new car. To pray for someone who disagrees with your mindset is just supercilious self--aggrandizement. If one can't see this, it's because they are blinded by their own egotistical issues.

Hi! How's London?

I already posted a link to the scenes in "Brokeback" which give enought of a hint, including that love making is really no different. It's the mental picture that comes up that repels many, not any different than a mental picture of their parents doing it. I surmise its the image of sex in any form and suggest sex therepy for those who still believe that sex is a craven act that should be punished by God or the local authorities. It's hard to tell the two apart.

Hey there prince! How ya doin', gorgeous?

(I think I know that much... a dozen years of reading "Savage Love" will do that to ya... ;-))

As for the prayer thing, what I almost wrote at the time but didn't because I hoped it would end there (but of course it didn't) was something like "a stellar demonstration of passive aggression at its purest."

I wrote a response and didn't send it for the same reason, Soz. I think LW post above is right on.

One does not announce that they are praying for a person. That's tantamount to giving to a charity and then broadcasting it. Shame.

I'm going to make an effort to deflect the anger that this generates. I have felt badly for inflicting this drama on the members. So many of you share my views, but you handle yourselves with such grace and maturity. I'm sick of the freakshow, myself, and unhappy to be a part of it. I plan to exercise some self-control.

But, I appreciate the understanding. Very, very much. Smile

Don't worry, Lash, when somebody unabashedly displays their emotional and intellectual shortcomings on a public forum they should expect to be called on it. Now she can pray for all of us, but please, please, don't let us know 'cause we are not interested.
