If you don't want comments don't hit submit on the post.
Seems to me that you change churches more than your nail polish.
Oh the drama of it all!

Hummmm...sounds like you have a bone to pick...besides I have pink & whites-don't like color for some reason.

God bless you. You must be one of those Apostolics who aren't Christian.

Praying you find Jesus and become a follower.

Blessings, Rhoni

LOL. I think it is all a joke...someone who has a bone to pick and hiding behind a psuedo name. What a whimpy thing to do.

Obviously, you don't have a clue as to what a "mensch" is!

At least we know you're not Jewish!

A mensch is a person with whom you would be happy to befriend and associate with, because you feel genuine in a mensch's presence. A mensch is a highly evolved human being. Menschlichkeit (the art of the mensch) has nothing to do with looks, with wealth, with success or with intellect. A mensch exudes a certain magnetism that attracts us, whether or not words or glances are exchanged. A person is a mensch because he simply makes others feel good.
I've never really known a full-fledged mensch, although I've come across a few saintly types from time to time. Each one of them contained certain qualities that interested me because, you see, I aspire to become a mensch. Right now, I can't boast that I possess those qualities, but I'm working on it. I've known a lot of people who think they're mensch's. They'll expound their righteousness: "I'm a good person, I don't harm anyone", they'll tell you. My first reaction is not whether they cause harm; I prefer to ask, "how much good do you do?” although I usually hold my tongue out of respect. Menschlichkeit deals in doing good.

This is only an excerpt.

You love flipping from JP to hiding on AFF to swing a stick at the resident questioning authoritarian, legalistic, serve me god-men, woman who is fed up with it all.

You my friend; display arrogant, judgemental, self-righteous attitudes that stink of the cultish behaviors of those I oppose most vehemently.

Good day,
Rhoni

So, it would seem that Bullwinkle's claim to be mensch is just as I stated...in case he wasn't of the spiritual gift of discernment.

Kind Sir
I'm well aware of what a mensch is. A short definition of a mensch is as follows: mensch or mensh (měnsh) Pronunciation Key
n. pl. mensch·es or mensch·en (měn'shən) Informal
A person having admirable characteristics, such as fortitude and firmness of purpose: "He radiates the kind of fundamental decency that has a name in Yiddish; he's a mensch" (James Atlas).

[Yiddish, human being, mensch, from Middle High German, human being, from Old High German mennisco; see man-1 in Indo-European roots.]

Having worked with and interacted with eastern European Jews the word was used properly in the modern context and Yiddish vernacular. Perhaps a smiley would help?

Ow!..................Ow!.......................... Ow!
I thought when you left the yokels behind that it meant freedom from judgmentalism. That's got to be one of the most judgmental posts I have ever seen.
Where are all the libs to defend me from the tyranny of the judgmental, authoritarian con....ooops, sorry wrong line......
I rarely visit AFF these days, now I'm remembering why -I just keep getting picked on - o woe is me. Everyone is picking on me.
