Born Agains: where did you screw up?

Perhaps they are not actually criminals, but just reaaaaaallly slow learners?

I think there should be an option for " all the above"

kinda racist,discriminating and close minded to think that noone would do that.

You of all people should know that slappy..

My whole family is born again, and they never did any of that ****.

i was gonna be born again

but opted for an abortion

So...what is their problem, do you think?

This is so true, and the men become these blind, idiot, conservatives.

What's the point of being born again? You may be a prick beforehand... you're still going to be a prick!

Speak for yourself !!

I tend not to think of the alcoholism as being a screwup.


As to born agains, I fondly recall Brother Leroy who was a murderer but swore (although he seemed drunk at the time) that God had forgiven him and that if his victims (yes plural) were still alive they would forgive him as well. Brother Leroy was an interesting fellow, yes that he was. When I think back on it though, if one were to ask me to make a drawing of Satan, Brother Leroy had many similarities in appearance including those pointy little horns growing from his head and the pitchfork he kept at the ready to keep sinners firmly on the ground as the evil spirits left them.

Seriously, Brother Leroy did exist and he had indeed murdered many people. Somehow he was allowed out of prison and he turned his life around. He had weekly gatherings at his compound where food was served and the Bible was read and people testified as to how they had found The Lord. I was still drinking heavily in those days and found the whole thing to be something of a hoot. Mainly I showed up for the tater salad with jalapeno peppers...it seemed like a fair trade to receive that in exchange for my soul redemption.

As my drinking took off to new heights, I would often call Brother Leroy at strange hours and suitably intoxicated. He always gave an ear (occasionally an eye or an elbow). I lost track of him, but I still figure he may be out there somewhere south of Colorado and north of the Mexican border preaching up a storm and helping wayward young folk out. Come to think of it, that was the main part of his operation...helping out wayward youth, and it's hard to do better than that.




Anyone know what happened to Brother Leroy?

Thanks for passing along your own vicious gossip.

Well, thanks for the sarcastic input dear.

Gossip is when you are spreading heresay.

I can attest to my personal experience. I damn near lost a job because some born again, because this was a small but overwhelmingly "good christian community"

Apparantly she saw me at the gym and said hello, but, unfortunately I had headphone on and didn't hear her. Instead of walking around to where I could see her ass and take off my headphones, instead she spread the word how unfriendly I was. This woman didn't work with me, but spread the word how "unfriendly and unchristian" I was, and she didn't think I should be in the position I was in.
Because the politics of the born agains was quite in charge where I worked, I was literally brought up in front of both my direct supervisor and the big boss "to explain myself"
I didn't even know what they were talking about.

Let's see, mmm....when a good christian woman invited me to go to church with her, and I told her I was going out of town that weekend (true), she spread it around that I was going off "drinking and sleeping around" every weekend...uh, definatley not true.

Oh, when I introduced my then fiance, now husband of 13 years to a third lovely born again, she quickly informed everyone I was "with" an "old man".....first off, So?
2nd off, I suppose "old" is a subjective term.

and then....there's YOU...accusing me of gossiping viciously....mmmm..hmmm.

see, it's gossip when you're not the one doing it.

I mean, gossip would be if I manufactured something about you....or anyone, to embellish a story and sway opinions.

My statement was based on my empirical experience.

That was pretty stupid real life. Admit it.

How fooking unusual.

Well its not your fault. In the gym anyone can get into some embarrassing positions. Without necessarily spreading anything.

How many born again women do you know in the world?

In my experience most women period turn into vicious gossips at one point or another.

Most all women have a tendency to gossip.......in my experience of course!

gotta agree there.

born again or not, women talk




constantly..

I have a question: who is the former prostitute....and how much.

Women do talk alot regardless, but I personally notice it when it comes from "christians"

What boggles my mind is...why is that born-agains are almost always horrible dancers?

Does the conversion take away all sense of rhythm?

Must be that it's the evil, satan influence that makes a dance worth watching. <shrug>

Brilliant thread, Slap . . . but i doubt that you'll get much play from the born-agains . . . other than spreading vicious gossip about CT . . . the slut . . .
