OUT OF ORDER!

[changedman]

This is based solely on your experiences, of course, right?

Un-deed.

[themidiroom]

But your "partna" (int) who has 9 children by 30 different women (int) all less than a year apart is ok as long as he has good chops?

Or...your "dude" (whoever thought we'd be living in a time where a man would call another man "my dude" and not be labeled) can smoke all the weed he wants, come to church high, and even though everybody in town knows it, he can still stay in pocket when he's playing...so he's cool to hang around?

WOW!

Herman, please come down from your soapbox.    
I see what you're saying about the "my dude" jargon.  That always sounds funny to me.  Also, what's the deal with smoking weed and a bunch of guys passing one joint(or whatever they call them now)around.   Ummmm you expect me to smoke that, I don't know where your lips have been.

"Yeah man.  Homeboy got a good pocket.  He got some tight chops, too.  That's my dude!"

Even without the pink shirt, that comment alone is SUSPECT (depending on the ignorance level of the person listening)!!!

[Fenix]

Four pages and counting. Now that the whole gay issue has been brought into the conversation, i foresee this thread running 8 or more pages.   

[changedman]

No Fenix, that only happens when we discuss 2:17 and Tonex. 

[themidiroom]

So Herman are you suggesting there's some underlying gayness in the "normal" interactions of heterosexual men?   Gosh noooooo!

[littlelamb]

I hear y'all....

But one of Under13's comments kinda "got me" too (no offense, U13)!

Why is it that some musicians would not care to be seen with a musician who is "presumed" gay for fear of guilt by association...

But your "partna" (int) who has 9 children by 30 different women (int) all less than a year apart is ok as long as he has good chops?

WOW!

Dude ... you trying to tell us something? It's ok if you have gay friends BUT I think that under no circumstance does a straight man hang out with gay men. I said Hang out. Why? Because they are after different things. That might be your boy from back in the day and you might play at church together but if you hanging with them after church and on your free time that isn't a good idea. You SHOULD be ashamed to be hanging out with a church musician who is gay. IS gay and you know it. That's an abomination. There's nothing wrong with being cool with them. You keep leaving room open for if they are or are not gay. You have to watch them and decide. And you're right, people should also be ashamed to be spending time with promiscuous men or women, those with unsavory recreational habits ...

Yes, I am trying to tell you/us something....to simply be careful.  Some of our actions, reactions, and comments can encourage a person's downfall more so than their deliverance.

We don't know where certain people are in their "struggle".  WE who win souls must be wise.  Passing judgment is not always a wise thing.  An opinion without sound proof is nothing less than judgment.

If I knew someone who was a representative of RuPaul, I would be happy.  RuPaul is NOT gay.  He just impersonates females and gets a phat check!  I'm broke!  Go figure.

LOL!

Whoa!   Sounds like you're saying it's okay to judge folks based on how things appear.  There are also a lot of assumptions as well.  Hey, why stop at gay dudes, don't hang out with fornicators, liars, idol worshipers, and just sinners in general.

Sooooooo, you're basically tellin' erryones to stay locced up in their house/home?

I was gon say somethin' but I'm through with this one.

I'm right behind you.  Under13 has some competition!   

[sjonathan02]

LOL!

Right. there. with ya.

[bigblackdrummer]

And the bad thing is everyone's just gotten so use to it that is just the norm now. It took the Pastors here starting on time no matter who was there or not to change things.

[changedman]

I'm right behind you.  Under13 has some competition!   

HEHEHE....AND TO ANSWER YOUR FIRST QUESTION, "NO...THAT'S NOT WHAT I WAS SAYING".  HOPEFULLY NOBODY HAS ANY UNDERLYING ANYTHING!  JESUS'LL BE BACK SOON!

You know what? I'm with you on this Nessa, cause I was 'bout to rip into this one (scriptures and all), but for the sake of peace, this is best left untouched.

[changedman]

I was gon say somethin' but I'm through with this one. 

Yeah, because I would hate for the judgment crew to start in on "HEY...Nessa lives up the street from Las Vegas....sin city....and then she's COGIC!?  That's a sin...she needs to move!"

LOL!!!!
