Those pesky Pet Peeves

[buckthesystem]

Quote: "Shalom Isaiah,

Bite at you? What are you talking about? There was not even one hint of a bite (or even a nibble) towards you or anyone in my post.

Perhaps you misread what I said? I was simply opening up myself and sharing my heart. I have no animosity towards you, I don't know how you could have gotten that impression, but I am sad that you do.

Please remember, we cannot see each other's faces and hear each other's tone. Sometimes, written words can be read several ways. Please give the person the benefit of the doubt when you are unsure of their meaning, me in this case. And in this case, you have read my meaning wrong.

This was a deeply emotional and painful post to write and I made myself vulnerable by writing it and my thoughts were not on you or anyone, but in glorifying G-d. Again, I don't know how or why you saw my words as a "bite" against you, but nothing could be further from the truth".

Well Kittylover bit Ghostdog's tail and Ghostdog bit Kitty's ear, maybe that's what Isaiah was thinking of.

One of my main pet peeves is advertisements on TV..........which occur about every 10 minutes !

There are more, but they would not rightly be described as 'peeves' but 'hates'.....such as violence, bad language (vulgarity, swearing)

Are Christians allowed to hate?

[None]

Birthdays.

Just say..... "Well Bless Their Heart"

Fixes everything except sin.

Now that's true! In the south, you can say anything about anybody, and as long as you tack on, "Bless their heart," at the end, you're OK. Like this: 'Yeah, FresnoJoe, he's a real so-and-so, bless his heart." See? It negates the negative "so-and-so" comment.

Mornin' Joe!

Well Marnie generalizes the south, bless her heart!

pet peeves usually end up biting me so I try very hard not to keep them around...

Not only are they on every 10 minutes, there are 8 at a time, for about 4 minutes!

And yes, Christians can hate. We're supposed to hate sin, right?

Birthdays.

Yes, the more I have the more I hate them.

I wanted to address something due to a couple of reports about this thread.

Although we do not allow links to Youtube any longer, the site in the original post is not a Youtube site. There is a place to click to see a video which directs you to a Youtube link, but the site itself is not Youtube.

I looked at the original site linked to in the OP, and did not see anything that was derogatory toward Christianity, Christians, Jesus, or any such concept. For that reason, we will allow the original link to the Pet Peaves.

I do ask that all members use extreme caution when following any link outside of the ministry. We simply cannot catch all of them as they are posted, and there may be links to places which contain porn or worse. I also ask that you research links thoroughly before you post them, as well.

I thank all of you for reporting links that you may question. In doing so, you show a great love for Worthy and show that you care about the content of the posts made here.

I hope this clears the situation up.

Sorry Vickilynn ! Please forgive me.

My heart really did go out to you when I read your post, and I was about ready to respond of the sort. It was the last line, I guess. And the mood I was in. You are very correct in saying we should give people the benefit of the doubt. I will do my best.

Still friends?

Shalom Isaiah!

Forgiven! And yes, still friends and family in the Messiah!

When it's extremely hot outside and I make a giant cup of icewater and am about to sip but low and behold, a knat has taken a swim and is now drowned. What the heck.
