We wouldn't lose it.

And I'll move it as soon as it stops getting activity. :p
 
Bah! Without me there'd be no thread! >)

Perhaps we should give credit to the two missionaries as well.

Perhaps I just like saying missionary.

You'd probably get a lot more converts. ;)
 
I finally took the time to read this thread, wanted to say, wow, good job everyone.

I was raised a lapsed Catholic but have drifted faaaarr away. I don't agree with what seems to me as a very judgmental attitude. I always wondered about the bible, I mean, isn't it "man's interpretation of the word of God"? what if "the word" was interpreted wrong and everyone's following the wrong path? Not poking fun, I know that's why they call it faith.

In my family, it's kind of comical to see relatives who don't go to church insisting newborns be baptized, so they (the baby) can go to heaven. They sign up at a church and go through the motions, get to the baptismal and afterwards - bye bye church. Or insisting they want to get married in church, even if they haven't been in years, then don't go after the ceremony.

I suppose that may help account for my slightly cynical attitude.

Sorry to bring up serious subject matter, when you all were discussing missionaries. Actually, my favorite term in that particular context is (edit)
 
Ok, I have question for the nonbelievers.


I know that you don't believe so let me ask you this. When we all find out the truth, and you find that He is real, will you then follow him and be on the good side when it all goes down, or will you continue to deny Him as Savior and go with the evil and kill the good side (including those family and friends who believe)?

Geez do I seem that bad?

Anyway there's a flip side to that. Is it okay if and when you find out the truth, and he doesn't exist, I get to point at you and in my best Nelson from The Simpsons voice give you a big "HA HA?" :D

I'm a little confused - are you referring to the Second Coming? Or to something more like the rapture?

My Lutheran school taught us that when God returns, that's it. You're either in or out; and if you don't believe before then, even if you believe once it happens, it'll be too late.
 
Yes, Alcho, I give you permission to do whatever you want to me if that happens. I am pretty confident it will, so think of the nastiest stuff, go ahead, and I'll let you. (But don't get your hopes up!)

Both, dude. Will you recognize him and continue to follow him when you are called to fight?

I'll have you know I can think of some pretty nasty stuff. Very well, I agree to your wager.

Do you think they have any lube on the other side? :D
 
Heaven, yes. Hell, no.

Why do you need lube? Aren't you man enough? Ooooooh!

I'm not sure you knew what I meant by the lube remark but meh..... whatever. ;)
 
Yeah, I get ya, in my ass. Just messing with you. Or is manhood something you don't around with? My bad, sorry if I insulted you (if I don't get insulted by what you say of my God then I hope this doesn't bother you).

This was one of the questions I have about what we can and can't do behind the doors, but no way am I going to ask anyone in my church about this. I imagine no one there ever takes it there.

Just my experience that sometimes it almost works like the real opening, if you get my drift. Wetness and all (no, not nastiness). Weird stuff, it is.
 
Ahem. (cough,cough) I...uhhhhh. Nevermind.

I've yet to get my brown wings, so I'll stay out of that discussion. It ain't happening at stately Hawg manor.

Anyway (not that anyone will care now), I was wondering if anyone besides me is watching "Big Love" on HBO?

The first episode was interesting, but a little slow. By the middle of the second I was hooked and now look forward to it. It is well done, quirky, thoughtful, non-judgemental and combines drama and subtle comedy in a setting that will be offbeat for most Americans, but that is a big part of it's appeal-- the rules are different out in Utah and all the people are.....well, different.

Bill Paxton plays a guy named Bill and he has all kinds of problems. His three wives are all very different people with their own issues, he has major problems with "The Prophet" -- who is his father-in-law and a creeping evil presence (with a 14 year old wife) and minor problems trying to build his business while keeping his ladies happy in the sack on a rotating basis with the help of viagra, his little blue friend. The man has a very full plate but maintains an upbeat attitude. He has to in the face of all that sex and they bang A LOT.

As far as how the show relates to Mormonism, practically everyone in thier area is Mormon and the family has to hide their polygamy from everyone for fear of prejudice or persecution-- which was not what I expected. It seems the vast majority of Mormons are not thrilled about the whole multi-wives thing.

The show presents some interesting contrasts like the dicotomy between the "simple" lifestyle vs. modern materialism and openly sharing the love of your spouse while battling the green-eyed demon of basic jealousy.

They try to blend in with their clueless suburban neighbors, while building their "holy family", raise up a big batch of youngsters and try to follow their beliefs as best they can. You root for them. They aren't freaks even though their choices would have many view them that way.

My experience watching it with my wife is that she expresses genuine curiosity about Mormonism/polygamy and that made me think of this thread more than once while watching.

I wouldn't know, but I would bet it would be quite a hit in parts of the country with a large Mormon community. Anyone, really. It's excellent.
