Unless, of course, your desired effect is to straddle the middle of the road so that you can always come back and claim you meant something else if you get called out.
any reasoning person could understand what was implied from the context. that is any one who is not gnat straining and camel gulping.
Hmmm, but then "reasoning" people wouldn't do that, would they?

And you think masturbation is unhealthy?
Originally posted by robbie carrobieIt wasn't a question. It was just a light-hearted comment about your use of language.

And as I have I now read the passage where it comes from in the Bible, it all turned out for the good.

sure thing, wish you well - regards Robbie.
Come to me, all YOU who are toiling and loaded down, and I will refresh YOU. Take my yoke upon YOU and learn from me, for I am mild tempered and lowly in heart, and YOU will find refreshment for YOUR souls. For my yoke is kindly and my load is light.
Originally posted by Proper KnobMost things that are a result of genetics are not based on a single gene. For example, I can bet that Robbie cannot point us to the 'black gene' or 'white gene' yet I am sure he admits that human race is entirely dependant on genetics. Even skin colour is not based on a single gene, which is why people of mixed race end up with skin colour in-between that of their parents rather than exactly the same as one or the other. Same goes for hair curl.
So what's the name of the 'heterosexual gene'?
Originally posted by robbie carrobieI thought the purpose of these forums was to express our own opinions. Does the Watchtower Society forbid you from that. I guess you are required to express only their opinions. You seem definitely under their mind-control.
