Notable roles Mister Rogers

The Reverend Frederick McFeely Rogers (March 20, 1928 – February 27, 2003) was an American educator, minister, songwriter and television host. Rogers was the host of the internationally acclaimed children's television show Mister Rogers' Neighborhood, in production from 1968 to 2001. As Mister Rogers, he became an iconic presence to millions of viewers. Rogers was also an ordained Presbyterian minister. Throughout his life, he was a tireless advocate for the education and welfare of children.

Personal life

Rogers was born in Latrobe, Pennsylvania, a town located 40 miles (65 km) southeast of Pittsburgh. He was born to James and Nancy Rogers; he spent many years as an only child, which shaped his creativity and imagination. He spent much of his free time as a child with his grandfather, Fred McFeely, and had an interest in puppetry and in music.

When Rogers was 11, his parents adopted a daughter, Elaine. His parents also acted as foster parents to a black teenager named George; George's mother had died, and he came to live with the Rogers family. Rogers eventually came to consider George his older brother. George later became an instructor for the Tuskegee Airmen of World War II and also taught Rogers to fly.[1]

Following secondary school, he studied at Dartmouth College in Hanover, New Hampshire between 1946 and 1948 before transferring to Rollins College in Winter Park, Florida. He received a BA in music composition there in 1951.

At Rollins, Rogers met his wife, Sara Joanne Byrd, whom he married in 1952. They had two sons, James (born in 1959) and John (born in 1961).

And someone made sure to say something to me about it, like I did you. It's part of it around here ya know.

Again I'm sorry for asking a question about something I shouldn't have.
I seem to be messing up with threads here lately.Maybe I should take a break for awhile.
The XERF thread was a mistake.

Scott. I think you should be able to ask Admin to delete anything youd like to be taken off the board and they will be so kind as to do that for you.

And the thing is, When you get into private matters, some are just not able to keep it clean and above board, some start making uncouth remarks and it gets kind of racy, and out of hand. I’m not condemning Bro. Scott, as some have repramended me for the statement I made, but I have no problem with Him.

I have no problem with the pastor counseling with couples about to be married, but I don’t think .he would be qualified to teach them about all sexual matters. He may be able to teach them about their commitment and faithfulness to each other, and what God expects of you in your marriage. But if a couple will put God first in their marriage, and love their spouse in the way God has directed you to do, I don’t think they need any sexual counseling. If they have a love for God and pleasing Him, they will have that desire to love their spouse with all their heart, and want to please them, and do whatever it takes to make that marriage work..

I agree with you that some people need to stay away from sexually related topics. I also agree with you that it's a good idea for couples to counsel with their pastor before getting married. I do not, however, agree with you that it's a bad idea for people to discuss sexually related topics on these forums. Internet forums have opened a door for Christian people to be able to open up and discuss a wide variety of topics that never seem to get discussed, sexuality being one of them. I think it's a good thing.

Actually, they won't.

And I see nothing wrong with anything Scott has ever posted.

Are you speaking for Admin now?

That thead has been locked and anymore talk about it should cease.

We don't need to borrow trouble from past forums.

If I answer this post, will I be banned for questioning admin?
