You are right, of course. She *is* a waste of time, but she doesn't do
"it" on purpose: she really is way out there.

Having said that - why aren't you kill filing the other two characters
who jumped on the band wagon with her? After all, they don't seem to
have problems comprehending basic English...

Hi Don,

Anyone can make a mistake. I make similar mistakes myself.
They are reasonable people. I give them a pass them, they
give me a pass. Works out nicely.

They are nice people who help others, including me,
that they don't even know. Why this matters so much to me?
See Matthew 25: 35-46.

I rather enjoy their friendship.

Bigwheel makes my wife laugh.

They are good cooks.

Did I miss anything?

Don Roberto seems to be a dour, and taciturn chap. He seems intelligent,
but he doesn't seem to know how to play well with the other posters. I
can only think of one other in the group like that.

We all make typos, but usually everyone knows what is being
communicated. If we were going to be graded everytime we posted, there
would probably far fewer posts.

If by "don't play well with other posters" you mean I don't suck to
other posters, you've got me figured out.

Uberhaupt nicht mein Fuhrer, I believe it's called banter, and its
function is to build community. If we want streß, we can take a class,
or go to work.

How did you get to be so anally retentive?

It's wasting time given that usenet is about as useless as it gets as
far as building communities goes.

Speak for yourself. There are those of us who enjoy both taking classes
and working. And *we* don't get "streßed" out by things we like to do.

By being called that by an anally expulsive person who has no clue the

Yep. Matthew 25: 31-34

And while we are quoting the Good Book:
About your judgement of Julie: There's Mathew 7:1 or Luke 6:36, if you
prefer.

I'm not into wasting time reading drawn out explanations of very simple
sentences I have no problem understanding.

Just like I'm not into wasting time talking and writing about what
Christ commanded his disciples to do in Mathew 25: 31-46. THAT was his
and his man Mathew's job: our job is to ACTUALLY *DO* what He commanded.

Doers of the word rather than just hearers of the word.
This is good advice.

It is easier to be a doer if you do not make the huge
mistake of taking a single sentence or a sentence fragment
out of context with the rest of the paragraph. This is why
I gave you the link explaining what was going on with the
fragment you quoted.

What you missed in Matthew 7:1-5 was not to "never" judge,
you must judge to survive, but how to judge. Clean
up your own act first before judging others. When I made
the judgment that I did not want Julie's daemon in my life,
and what you saw in this thread was only minor, I had
made sure I did not do to others or her what she was doing to me
first. Do you see me jumping to conclusions, accusing
anyone of being "anti woman", threating to beat them up
in an alley, deliberately taking things out of context,
even when corrected by others? Do you see me telling
others they are "stuck on stupid" (that was one of yours)?
I am ready to be judged on the matter.

You must judge to survive. The fragment you quoted is
often thrown in other faces by extremely judgmental
people who don't want to hear that they are doing
something nasty by others. There is a difference between
common judgment and righteous judgment. Read the link.

As there is between right and wrong judgement. And your judgement of
Julie is just plain wrong. She is not possessed by a demon - she is
sick. Now go back to Mathew 25:41-46 and see what Christ has to say
about those who do not look after the sick.

Don,

You are missing the point of Matthew 15:31-46 and why it
matter to me. Whenever you do something kind to someone else
in need without expectation of return, especially to those you
don't even know, as these people do on this group, you are
touching the face of God. And that my friend, is how those
that don't know God manage to pass the gates of heaven. They
may not know God, but God *knows* them. I like being around them.
I feel the love of God in them (their goodness). Which is why
I am a bit protective of them.

That's nice, but Christ was _very specific_ about who the folks are that
you are supposed to help in order to pass the gates of heaven".
Not a word about "those that don't know God" or those *you* "like being
around. JUST "the least of his brothers and sisters".
And Julie is one of them.
Talk about missing the point...
