You Saved me a repeat of the previous post stated by "untraditional": "we can also check pride, strife, and lying as well"...

I just loved the way Marcbee, threw the insults around...

I have said what I said. A metaphor such as "brood mare"
is too offesive for AFF? Then go ahead and edit my post. This will be my last post forever on AFF. Wish there were really a way to unsubscribe, rather than hearing, "Well, just don't browse over here." A layer of inaccess would be way easier, please. I have an idea! Please "Ban me," Cindy. Then I'm REALLY unsubscribed, correct? Or do I need to insult someone to be banned, rather than using an edgy metaphor such as "brood mare?"

Please note I did not refer to HARD WORKING SINGLE MOTHERS. I referred to lazy single mamas who don't work, and are supported by tax dollars due to their choices to have a litter of babies supported by the government.

I fully understand his frustration. We're not talking about good women who's man left them for greenier pastures. We're talking about women who make an industry out of breeding. I knew many of them from my home town with 4+ kids, all from different fathers. Did they work hard? That is a matter of debate since they still managed to be at the bar every night and of course had their kids on ADHD medication as a substitute for parenting.

gluttony is an endomorphic psychosomatotype. An indulgent or pleasuring attitude to food. Not all gluttons are heavy.

We can thank God you have been delivered from the demons of anorexia.

There are just as many maladaptive attitudes and wasted thoughts on all the other eating disorders. Some people invest very much time in sttudying food ingredients and now organic and hormone free. I just pray God will bless the food for nourishment and He does. I think God places more weight on prayer life, burdin for the lost, praise and gratitude.

what scripture says gluttony is a sin?

PS: Not sanctioning gluttony

According to my BMI, I'm overweight. I live a relatively healthy lifestyle, although stress and laziness do best me sometimes.

From my perspective (as someone who once struggled with an eating disorder) it's still hard to hear, even though I try to be happy with myself now. Just thinking out loud.

I realize now that my original post was not politically correct, in that for some it is offensive, mainly because it isn't well worded i think.

My original thought was that we are so zealous for our beliefs and comfortable with pointing out that someone is on their way to hell for not believing like we do, yet trying to bring our weight under control, which is a major health concern, isn't given the same consideration as other areas where we miss the mark, i.e., pride, lying, drinking, ect.

But on second thought when I realize that I have hurt peoples feelings, I would honestly rather just apologize and chalk it up to insensitivity on my part, not malice.

So, if Admin wishes to just delete the thread as it's un productive, please feel free to do so.

It is not the thread, Amanah. It is just that people don't like to be called out when they are offending people. None of us do.

People get overwhelmed in life and do not know of a way out. Some of these women you are referring to do get caught up in looking for a man to help them out, and just end up with losers. To compare them and their children with animals is not right. You will not be banned to stop you from posting.
