The one where you said: You obviously knew the answer to that question was no; the fact that you couched it in "no matter what" is the histrionics portion; and the fact that you defended your wording indicates you prefer the emotionally charged language rather than being honest about it...

If you don't like the tone, don't use it yourself.

Because you haven't been around as long as others, I'll provide you an honest answer. I started out my military career as a security specialist. I later spent three years teaching others to be security specialists. I was required to not only learn, but to inculcate into my very core the concepts...

Seriously? The suspect was NOT a small man. Visually impaired does NOT mean blind. Apparently you've never been punched hard enough to ring your bell. When you've been hit hard enough to fracture a bone in your skull, there's a fair amount of disorientation. So here's a large man who just...

It was NOT an honest question. If it were, then you would already know the answer, and wouldn't be invoking histrionics.

Funny. You didn't quite call him a baby killer, did you?

Who said that was the first shot? Six shots were reported. If the first one, or two, or even five, were to the body, it's entirely possible that the suspect was bending over or jerking from being previously hit, and that shot (which would have been aimed center mass) hit through the head and...

Because the "secondary" eyewitness accounts are being upheld by audio recordings.

Knew a young man (16-years old at the time); he was obviously a leader among the teens, even if they didn't officially recognize him as such. Got him to start teaching the youth group Sunday School lesson once in a while; had him go with me out on visitations. Then he went out on his own down to...

Agreed; if it is a promise, then those Word of Faith and prosperity gospel types might actually be correct....

Salty, I've seen quite a few pastors that put their ministry before their sons and daughters; and I've seen those sons and daughters grow up to follow a different path because they wanted something more from their parents than "after I take care of everyone else in the church, I'll try to pay...

I've got my teen group "starting small." We're working through Proverbs, and they're memorizing a main theme for each chapter. This way they'll at least be able to remember which chapter a verse or passage is from, and can look up the rest. Once they've got that pattern down, we're going to work...

If the first is advice, then the second is advice. It appears that the first is advice that he didn't take very well; whereas he places great emphasis on the second. HOWEVER - I know nothing of how he actually raised his children.

Cool! Glad to hear it!

No; it is assumed, and assumptions are dangerous. Have you confirmed that he has a bible to test the writings of those two books against? If so, then just plainly tell us so; because you haven't actually said so yet.

You misunderstand. He did end it -- that one. What's happening now is a different one. He made no promises about this new one ... which, by the way, we wouldn't have to deal with if Bush had done something differently. </end sarcasm>

Does he have a bible? Shouldn't he also be reading that?

Let's start with the phrase "I'm no mind reader." I would correct that to: you're no heart reader. None of us are. I'm flabbergasted that your cousin shows a hunger for Christ, which substantiates his claim to salvation; but you end with still referring to him as possibly a false convert...

Not so sure it represents salvation....

I'm reminded of the ten lepers. All ten asked for healing, and Jesus gave it; nine turned their backs and we hear no more of them. One remained faithful....
