Curse words

[Jack Shephard]

Be honest do you curse? If so what do you consider cursing? Just 4-letter words or the sissy cursing? I don't expect everyone to answer honestly here. I will though. It is on a very rare occasion but I say curse words. Nothing terrible like f words or GD. I hate those. But I am just being honest. Again it is on a VERY rare occasion that one slips. What about you all?

I excpet Elder Epley to tell us he is a closet curser. LOL

[StillStanding]

I've been known to let the "s" word slip out from time to time when I blade a golf shot! :) It comes out before I think!

Not since I started taking the bus to work.

[Sassy]

I am not really trying portray myself as perfect person....but I really don't cuss. And I very rarely use sissy cuss words....because I have been taught they are the same. And if you use those words....guess who picks them up...your children. And they will use them when it is the MOST embarassing!

For the record, my kids and grandkids have never heard me cuss! :) Mrs. Pianoman has though!

[Pro31:28]

when I taught Kindergarten I had a student come up to me and say, "Mrs.D, Walker used the 'Q' Word!!!" I stood there and went over every bad word I could think of, and I certainly wasn't going to ask what the word was, so when the accuser of the brethren's mom came to pick him I whispered what happened and I said, "see if you can figure out what the 'Q' Word is....

Sure, But I think what most people consider a curse word is wrong.
Scripture speaks of several types of words, "curse, idle, doubt, un-belief, filthy communication."

So a "S#@T, may be "filthy communication" but it is not a curse word. And as far as how God would judge words unbelief is the worst words that can be spoken.

Consider the 10 spies. The nation was plunged into 40 days of doubt/unbelief because of them and paid for it by 40 years of wilderness experience.

[RandyWayne]

I have to admit, I probably "think" certain words more often than I should.... but I rarely, if ever officially "curse". Once you break the habit it isn't even something that I struggle with anymore.

I agree. I might think a curse word more than say them.

Never heard of sissy curse words???

I get ya. It can be a condition of how you were raised. If your parents curse greater chance you might too. I am very careful around my 2 yr old and wife. Mrs. Tullock has only heard a dirty word from me maybe 3 times. My wife also considers pi** a curse word with I grew up using. So take that for what it is worth. I really think it is al human. Not everyone curses but we are human and prone to mistakes.

Cra*, Dang, Flip, such like that. Maybe better said as words to replace curse words

No, I just wanted to keep you in suspense like I was for whole night after the incident... The mom came in the next day and with tears STREAMING down her face from laughing said she had to talk to me outside...

She said, "I asked him about the word this morning, it was Qwrap"
(say it out loud)

That was 9 years ago and I still laugh about it!

Did the kid's name begin with an "F" and end with an "e-r-d" by any chance? :evilglee

When I attended a Christian School we were not permitted to use "by" words... Shoot, Heck, golly-gee... that was grounds for a demerit, our teacher was very serious about it. I had come in to 10th grade fresh from the world and it was a difficult transition!

We definitely worked on the difference between C and Q sounds after that~!

I know someone who responds "Oh Golly no" anytime she is offered dessert.

That reminds me of the time when I was 7 years old, and I went to the kitchen table with my plate while mom and dad were entertaining an evangelist. I told mom that I wanted something that started with a "T". She looked around the table and couldn't see anything that started with "T". Finally ,I said "Taters! mashed taters!" My mother was so embarrassed and said, "Son, they're called PO-totoes!" Of course I followed up and said, "We've NEVER called them PO-tatoes! We always called them TATERS!" :ursofunny

gotcha, just never heard it referred to as sissy cussing. ;)

[Timmy]

Any of you see "Demolition Man"? Cussing had a very practical purpose, in one scene. :toofunny

[MissBrattified]

My husband used to use the word pi** all the time, which I thoroughly disliked, and complained until he stopped. LOL!!!! My main point, "Do you want the kids to say it?" He didn't think it was a curse word (or bad word), though, and still doesn't.

I've had to break several bad habits regarding the sissy words, like cra*, screwed, etc.

I can say I don't use the bad words...BUT...:D One time Jeff and I had a big argument, and I let a really, REALLY bad word fly, mostly for shock value. He looked at me like I had grown 15 horns, and looked really disgusted, and then I was just embarrassed. LOL!!!

Kids will inspire you to clean up your mouth, because they repeat EVERYTHING.

I have to say, my family, well, foul language is not really frowned upon, except for maybe the F word, and some of the really obscene language. I'm changing that in our house!!!! (Mostly my Dad's side--I've never heard my mother use any kind of bad word, sissy, slang or otherwise.)

Indeed.

[Timmy]

One of our kids had a bit of a problem with certain phonetics. The "s" sound, in particular. Came out like "f". Needless to say, we tried to use the word "lollipop", rather than "sucker", around him! :ursofunny

If my wife cussed at me in an argument it would probably defeat the purpose. I would probably bust out laughing.:ursofunny

[rgcraig]

My daughter told on her bigger brother once for saying the "s" word. I was shocked that he knew it and especially that she would know it was wrong.

I asked her to tell me what the word was and she wouldn't do it - - finally I convinced her it was okay to whisper it to me......it was shut up. Whew!

Wow...provocative subject. I'll come clean too...having been in the military I've occasionally (rare occasions) dropped a few verbal bombs when upset. But like you, I never use the name of Jesus as an expletive or say GD.

[MissBrattified]

Oh, I hate to be laughed at (when I'm upset)!!! LOL!!!

When I was a kid I couldn't say my "r" sound, and it took a lot of work for me to get over that. Well, when I get upset or frazzled, sometimes I forget my "r's"--and when I do, it's too much for Jeff to handle. He thinks that is the funniest thing EVER!!!! :club

Of course, my mom still gasps when I say butt, that was not acceptable in our house growing up!! :toofunny

I heard about a preacher who was really going in his sermon and meant to say that people needed to listen instead of thinking about what they were going to eat at Fuddruckers later......Hilarity ensued.

I told on my aunt one time for saying the F word. She was a lot younger than my mom and lived with us for a while when she was a teenager.

We had missionaries staying with us, and I rushed into the room in front of them and told my mom that my aunt had said the F word! She was upset and denying it, and I started crying, insisting she was lying! My mom finally pulled me to the side and had me whisper what she had said.

The big bad "F" word...Fart!! :lol :lol :lol

[LUKE2447]

I am sorry but taboo words like s_!t are not bad they are only perceived bad. I would not say them that I might offend someone but in reality we replace the same word with another word which refers to the same things. What is the difference? NONE! Babby has a bad diaper how many use "soft" words for that? uh huh SAME THING!

Also like when someone says " man that really s_cks" I don't see it as cursing and most don't use it that way. I never did. Many have told me that they use it like when you are running and you are struggling and in obvious pain and the term used for that is "sucking air." So to me if that comes to there mind, I am not going to judge it. Again it's all about taboo for the most part. Some words clearly should not be used but others are just people trying to make everything wrong.

Me and my friend who is a minister joked about this. so I came up with a simple example how words are taboo and howto beat it.
example: He is full of excrement! Now is "excrement" a bad word? I have not seen it put on the naughty list! LOL! So it must not be bad!

[Timmy]

Man, I've got some stories. Not sure if they'd be appropriate here, though. Not easy to clean up. Hehe.

[Rico]

I have been known to let a few choice words flow freely when angry. I am, however, working on it. He who is without sin cast the first stone! :D

[LUKE2447]

For those who don't curse drive in DC traffic for a few weeks and you will pick it up real easy.

[LUKE2447]

well then you are just screw*d like the rest of us

LOL! Yep!

[Jack Shephard]

With all joking aside I think that cursing is not healthy if for no other reason than it makes one sound uneducated. I try to be on my best behavior in all things cause I want my daughter to be better than I am. Plus the way I will raise her can help to have bad habits and hung ups that she will have to overcome. If I don't start something bad for her she will never have to squash it.

[Aquila]

I was once told that when Jesus used terms like "vipers", "dogs" and "fox", that these were very strong words in the ancient vernacular.

Our pastor's wife had an aneurysm about three years ago that almost killed her. Of course she survived miraculously, but it had effected her brain. For a while she didn't have her normal composure, and said the "s" word frequently in conversations! :) The family was shocked because they had never heard her cuss in her whole life. :ursofunny

She must have been "thinking" these words before! :)

I once took care of a well-known UPC pastor before he died several years ago. He had Alzheimer's as well as a stroke. It was sad to see him in his condition, because his elderly wife took care of him at home even though he was bedridden, and he would hit her and cuss something horrible. She would cry because she didn't understand why he was that way and that he never was that way when he was well.

She recently passed away also, and I'm sure they are once again enjoying one another in paradise.

But dealing with dementia, wow, it just makes you a different person.

Rico, that reminds me. On the mission field in Liberia we always had stories like that. English is the official language there, but for the indigenous people it is still a second language. Some of the less educated ones would here slang or sayings and not know that they were bad or fully understand what they meant. We had a church mother get up and talk about how she was "b.s" for Jesus.:ursofunny

So at great peril I ask,

A saved person is not responsible for their actions when they're demented?

Who, then is?

I've heard of people speaking in tongues in their sleep.
I've heard of people waking up and literally the first words out of their mouths are tongues.
I've heard of the elderly in nursing homes speaking in tongues while suffering from some sort of mental impairment.

I've never heard of a saved, demented person cussing and hitting their wives or anything like that, until just now.

I have been dreaming several times about situations and spoke in tongues multiple times. Actually every time I have done that, things drastically changed in my life. Very interesting.

Saved and demented are two totally different issues, yet both can abide in the same person. When your brain isn't working, you aren't in control. Your brain runs the joint. It controls not only bodily functions but moods, emotions, feelings, and behaviors.

Even though we are saved, we continue to sin. Why, if we are saved? Because we still have a human brain that controls our moods, emotions, feelings, and behaviors. As you know, being saved doesn't make us less human.

So, that being the case, we are subject to the brain when it deteriorates. Chemicals that should be there aren't, and those that are there shouldn't be in such great quantities.

There are two male residents where I work right now. Both came in for rehab only. One came in an already deteriorated state. His wife couldn't stand coming to see him because he was mean to her and would talk to her harshly. I took the liberty quite often to tell him to behave himself and not talk to her that way. He'd listen to me, but she'd often leave in tears.

He's been in therapy for about a month now, and not only has he improved physically, but mentally as well. It's been nice watching it unfold day after day.

Today, his wife told me that she is now happy to come and see him. His brain is working better (he'd had a stroke) and he's a funny guy, always joking and also treating people with respect. She said he's like his old self again.

The other man was brought in after falling and being recently diagnosed with Parkinsons. He started failing and was going downhill fast. Even the docs didn't know what was wrong with him, as every test they did wasn't showing anything conclusive, but clearly, something wasn't right.

He would talk about things from the 1960's as if it were today. He was constantly falling because he forgot that he couldn't stand (he was walking when he came in, but deteriorated to that point). He was very moody and unpredictable, even yelling at me once. His wife wanted answers, and we had none to give. This wasn't the man she knew. He eventually was unable to swallow properly and was placed on pureed foods and thickened liquids. His speech wasn't appropriate (How are you feeling today? Answer: Sounds like it's making a run to shoes, doesn't it?).

For some reason (I was gone for a week while they ran further tests), he was placed on Prednisone, which is a steroid, and he has improved so much in two weeks that he's eating regular food, his memory is intact (even had to remind me about a new pill I'd forgotten to give him one morning), and he's walking with therapy.

Now, I shared all that for a reason. I see things like this all the time, so it's simple for me to understand how anyone, saved or not, can behave in a manner so unlike themselves and not be responsible for their actions. Some things are fixable, as I shared in the stories above, but things like Alzheimers are not fixable, and in most cases, the outcome is sad.

Hope this wasn't overwhelming.

True. Family members should not take it personally

But it's so difficult not to, especially when the kind mom you always knew suddenly screams at you every time you visit her because she has no idea who you are and thinks you are there to harm her.

A friend of mine told me that she goes to see her mom, but her mom thinks she's one of her sisters, then complains that she (my friend) never comes to visit, even complaining about it to her! That's hard, because her mom will not believe she is who she says she is. A lot of bad feelings go along with that scenario.

[smurfette]

My mom didn't allow us to say 'turd, fart, cra* (that was a swear word!)' or anything of the sort. Imagine my shock when she recently referred to her brother as an anal orafice, but not in those words!! And she's UPC! LOL!

There you go using those fancy words now that you're an RN! :ursofunny

Congrats HO! Proud of you!:dance:friend

[Sam]

I get ya. It can be a condition of how you were raised. If your parents curse greater chance you might too. I am very careful around my 2 yr old and wife. Mrs. Tullock has only heard a dirty word from me maybe 3 times. My wife also considers pi** a curse word with I grew up using. So take that for what it is worth. I really think it is al human. Not everyone curses but we are human and prone to mistakes.

It's in the Bible
Isaiah 36:12 in the KJV for one

and I've heard preachers use at least one of those words.

it's just different for different folks what they prohibit and what they allow.

[HeavenlyOne]

Back to the topic, I curse once in a while. Lately, it's been more often. But I don't curse to my kids nor in front of them. I also don't say the 'real' bad words either.

I am trying to get out of the habit also. I don't think cursing is a good thing.

A couple of weeks ago, my 15 year-old tried using "Icor2v4"... Oh I mean the proper name of his avatar....

One of our kids had a bit of a problem with certain phonetics. The "s" sound, in particular. Came out like "f". Needless to say, we tried to use the word "lollipop", rather than "sucker", around him! :ursofunny

This reminded me when I was a small child, I had a speech impidement and when I tried to say truck then other word would come out! Needless, to say, I spent the next couple of years seeing a speech therapist.

I don't either! I'm hardly ever around anyone that would cuss, so if I'm shopping and hear it, it always startles me. Especially, some of the more coarse words. It's usually the teenagers.

My parents never used bad language in our presence, BUT one time in High School I decided to give myself a facial. After the pink mask dried my face looked pink and wrinkled. Just about then the phone rang and my mother called out that the phone was for me.

I walked across the living room and my father said, "What in the h.... is the matter with your face?"

When my daughter was about 4 she was getting in to my car and walked across the drivers seat to get in. She tracked mud all over the seat, and I said "Lana, what is on your shoes?" She sat down and pulled her foot up to look at it and said "What the he-- is that?" I about died, I had to stand up so my face was outside the car so she couldn't see me cracking up!!

I bent down in to the car again and said, "Baby, we don't say that word!" Don't have a clue where she heard it except maybe from visiting her dad. I like to remind her of it regularly!

Jeffrey is learning to sound out words phonetically, and was trying to pronounce KFC. Unfortunately, he was also talking very loudly, and the girls were nearly in the FLOOR laughing at him (e.g., MAJOR encouragement). I didn't want to discourage him from his reading efforts, so Jeff and I just smiled calmly at one another, and let it go.

I don't like to eat at KFC anyway. :D

My parents were divorced. On my mom's side growing up we heard EVERYTHING in the book and I do mean everything (they don't belong to any kind of church). But on my dad's side (Baptist) we couldn't say anything. To this day my stepmom will faint if you say butt or cr@p, etc. We couldn't even say "Oh my gosh". I was a messed up kid! :)

My hubby says p****d off which gets on my nerves at times but other than that we don't use real cussing. We will use slang cussing which I know, is basically the same. Every now and then he will let one slip, but nothing REALLy bad. Now sometimes I do love to answer the phone and say to my best friend (for shock value) "What the h*ll do you want?"

Well...big surprise, I am most likely going to be the only one who confesses to being an awful potty mouth!

A lot of it is probably my upbringing, my parents were quite vocal with the swear words. So even in my early years I "thought" the words, by my teenage years, I used them among my friends. And I think I was probably 14 before I was "brave" enough to use them to my Dad's face. (I chose the "worst" one for that occasion)

I was much better during my church years. I mean, on the outside anyway. I still thought the words all the time, but didn't say them outloud.

Once I no longer had anything to prove, they started slipping out more frequently, until eventually I was right back where I started. Though, I usually tend to be careful around those I think might be offended. (But I work in construction, so really...there's not too many of those around)

[Jermyn Davidson]

Welcome to humanity. Did you ever consider how that with a ball peen hammer a person could "change" the eternal destiny of another person's soul?


Pelathais,
I don't know what this means. What's a ball peen hammer? How can a person change the eternal destiny of another person's soul?

[Jermyn Davidson]

Saved and demented are two totally different issues, yet both can abide in the same person. When your brain isn't working, you aren't in control. Your brain runs the joint. It controls not only bodily functions but moods, emotions, feelings, and behaviors.

Even though we are saved, we continue to sin. Why, if we are saved? Because we still have a human brain that controls our moods, emotions, feelings, and behaviors. As you know, being saved doesn't make us less human.

So, that being the case, we are subject to the brain when it deteriorates. Chemicals that should be there aren't, and those that are there shouldn't be in such great quantities.

There are two male residents where I work right now. Both came in for rehab only. One came in an already deteriorated state. His wife couldn't stand coming to see him because he was mean to her and would talk to her harshly. I took the liberty quite often to tell him to behave himself and not talk to her that way. He'd listen to me, but she'd often leave in tears.

He's been in therapy for about a month now, and not only has he improved physically, but mentally as well. It's been nice watching it unfold day after day.

Today, his wife told me that she is now happy to come and see him. His brain is working better (he'd had a stroke) and he's a funny guy, always joking and also treating people with respect. She said he's like his old self again.

The other man was brought in after falling and being recently diagnosed with Parkinsons. He started failing and was going downhill fast. Even the docs didn't know what was wrong with him, as every test they did wasn't showing anything conclusive, but clearly, something wasn't right.

He would talk about things from the 1960's as if it were today. He was constantly falling because he forgot that he couldn't stand (he was walking when he came in, but deteriorated to that point). He was very moody and unpredictable, even yelling at me once. His wife wanted answers, and we had none to give. This wasn't the man she knew. He eventually was unable to swallow properly and was placed on pureed foods and thickened liquids. His speech wasn't appropriate (How are you feeling today? Answer: Sounds like it's making a run to shoes, doesn't it?).

For some reason (I was gone for a week while they ran further tests), he was placed on Prednisone, which is a steroid, and he has improved so much in two weeks that he's eating regular food, his memory is intact (even had to remind me about a new pill I'd forgotten to give him one morning), and he's walking with therapy.

Now, I shared all that for a reason. I see things like this all the time, so it's simple for me to understand how anyone, saved or not, can behave in a manner so unlike themselves and not be responsible for their actions. Some things are fixable, as I shared in the stories above, but things like Alzheimers are not fixable, and in most cases, the outcome is sad.

Your response was clear and easy to read. I understand this a bit better and am reminded that being saved doesn't make us robots.

When I am with my military folks, some of them don't curse and I try to be with them so I am don't hear so much and encourage my already corrupt mind.

One time, when my brothers came up to see my house in Baltimore, I took them out to eat. The meal was horrible the service lousy and we didn't have to pay for anything. I was still angry and on the way out, I walked into a clear glass wall. The "s" word came out. One of my brothers is my Dad's Assistant Pastor-- I was so embarrassed.

I heard a story along those lines, where a young boy who loved the Shrek movies saw a Shrek and Donkey cardboard cutout in the mall and started shouting, "Shrek and Donkey! Shrek and Donkey!" Only it didn't come out like that. Replace that "S" with an "F," imagine a three-year-old speaking and you can see what it turned into.

This was the parents' fifth child, they'd seen and heard everything, and instead of skulking off in royal embarrassment, they burst out laughing as they were clamping a hand firmly over the boy's mouth.

I guess I've been saved so long that it doesn't even cross my mind to cuss. It's just not in my thought process. That doesn't make me any holier than anyone else; it's just not a temptation for me. I also hate to hear it on TV or in the movies.

I was brought up to believe that the "sissy cussin'" was bad. Meanwhile folks - even folks in the pulpit - were free to pronounce curses and swear oaths as long as they avoided the really "bad" four-letter type words.

[PraiseHymn]

I dont curse. I stand firm in James Chapter 3.

James 3
1My brethren, be not many masters, knowing that we shall receive the greater condemnation.

2For in many things we offend all. If any man offend not in word, the same is a perfect man, and able also to bridle the whole body.

3Behold, we put bits in the horses' mouths, that they may obey us; and we turn about their whole body.

4Behold also the ships, which though they be so great, and are driven of fierce winds, yet are they turned about with a very small helm, whithersoever the governor listeth.

5Even so the tongue is a little member, and boasteth great things. Behold, how great a matter a little fire kindleth!

6And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity: so is the tongue among our members, that it defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire of hell.

7For every kind of beasts, and of birds, and of serpents, and of things in the sea, is tamed, and hath been tamed of mankind:

8But the tongue can no man tame; it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison.

9Therewith bless we God, even the Father; and therewith curse we men, which are made after the similitude of God.

10Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be.

11Doth a fountain send forth at the same place sweet water and bitter?

12Can the fig tree, my brethren, bear olive berries? either a vine, figs? so can no fountain both yield salt water and fresh.

13Who is a wise man and endued with knowledge among you? let him shew out of a good conversation his works with meekness of wisdom.

14But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth.

15This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish.

16For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work.

17But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.

18And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace.

I have always heard it was speaking like you were "uneducated." I think that is dumb though. I have met some very, wise and educated folks that curse.

I'm starting to believe that we need to take the word APOSTOLIC off the name of this forum and just call it FRIENDS FORUM. Wayyyyyyyyyyyyy toooooo carnal. :angelsad

Maybe it just needs an asterisk..

Apostolic Friends Forum*


* And the few carnal heathens that we let in the vain hope that someday they might pray through and thus be saved.

I see people in here interchanging "cursing" with "swearing". Big difference.

Cursing is actually pronouncing a curse on someone. "go to......." is a curse. You want them to be dammed forever.

Swearing is using "forbidden" words everything from the "Sissy" words to the the big "F" word.

I don't wish anyone go to Hell, so I won't curse them or wish it on them.

I have been taught by parents, who didn't go to church, by the way, that even the f**t word was swearing and I wasn't allowed to say it.

I was taught that people with a vocabulary didn't need to use "gutter talk" as my mother used to put it.

But I remember one time mumbling "shoot" under my breath and the pastor said, "What did you say?" When I told him, he said "if it sounds that bad either quit saying it or say it out loud so it doesn't sound like what I THOUGHT you said." ROFL

I knew a two year old girl that when she said "fish", she changed the "sh" to "ch" and you can guess what she changed the "f" to.
