And.... I never said refuse to show your spouse they excite you.... did I? again.... assumptions of things I never said..... the very reason I should never post here... because you can say exactly what you mean... but it doesn't matter. People will either make fun of what you post, or say you said something you never did.
Oh, come on Bro. Robbins, lighten up.

I think that's what most of us try to get you to do, but you take offense.

then maybe you should stop.... I'm perfectly content with who I am and my level of "seriousness". When I was a child I acted like a child, spake as a child, played childish games.... but when I became, I put away the childish behavior... and act like a man should. Life isn't about having fun....

As I have said before, when you posted that, that makes me sad.

I believe Jesus had fun and joked around with his buddies - - having joy is fun!

HUGE difference between joy and fun. And no, I do not believe Jesus or the disciples had fun and joked around once they were adults. They certainly did as children... but they knew the difference once becoming adults.

I have joy.... and a Christian should have joy... but life isn't about having fun.

I don't think you have either. From the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks....and pretty much all you speak about is "giving this flesh the beating it deserves"......"life is not about having fun"......ad infinitum....

I find great joy in saying those things.... and living according to the Word and as I feel led by the Holy Ghost. If you have issues with how I'm living my life, then I suggest you take it up with the Holy Ghost as I follow after the spirit.

Furthermore, I'm not a liar.... and unless you have proof that I am a liar, I would think you should take a brother at his word, and if he says he is content and has joy, then who are you to argue and doubt it?

Just because it doesn't fit in your definition or box.... hmmm.... same criticisms the liberal folks have of us conservative guys....

So, you all preach tolerance, but don't want to give it... IC... now I understand.

I'm not saying your a liar. I think you truly believe that you have joy. All I'm saying is that your words betray you...........but, if this lifestyle gives you a feeling of joy, then I'm happy for you.

But, you really get defensive when someone questions it, which is another blatant indicator that you're trying to convince yourself...........

You know, I used to feel sorry for you when I read stuff like this......which was quite often, since you post it so frequently......but, now I'm just extremely grateful that I am not you.......and I don't say that to be offensive, I'm serious........

Somewhere in there is a happy wacky fun filled joker that people here are trying to bring out so you don't seem so miserable and dour all the time! I know it!

Knock knock
