hmmm. I think I do remember KathyK from the old days.

If someone wrote one sentence, she responded by writing a book. That's OK. Some books are worth reading, some books not.

You cannot be a forum member here, without being insulted one way or another, and then having thick enough skin to deal with it. As has been pointed out many times, arguments can get very heated, but at the end of the day we'd all go out for pizza and beer together.

The book response is an indicator. You're listening to yourself, but you're not listening to the other person. Dewey was famously (to my mind) responsible for this. I wish he still posted here. It would be fun to poke holes in his little world.

Nah, he's being poked enough, already.

Going back and reading that thread again reminds me of how much I absolutely despise lawyers.

I think the world would be a better place, if we put all of their names in a hat, pulling them out one at a time and disbarring every other one.

I'm pretty sure Dewey was driven off by a bunch of assholes.

I'm pretty sure Dewey is a sociopath who manipulates imbeciles.

[Doctor Phibes]

IOW, anybody who disagrees with you is an imbecile.

If you think Dewey is a fundamentalley good guy, I would invite you to re-read the history, and its fallout. I cherish history, as you know.

[Horace]

I guess there's a chance he has a reasonable relationship with his kids at this point, due to their compassion and understanding. Definitely not his.

[Doctor Phibes]

Surprisingly, I think most people are fundamentally good.

I suspect his kids are good.

Yes, I know you do. Now name some flaws.

Well brought up, then.

I hesitate to comment on family situations we haven't really seen.

Also, we're all happy for Mel Gibson, but Dewey is a sociopath?

I've watched Dewey. He wanted to be watched, it's not like I was spying.

Dewey is apostate. The man left his wife and children for another man. He fucked over his family, shirked his responsibilities and then proclaimed Jesus from the pulpit while giving the finger to God.

I Timothy is often cited as a Pastoral Epistle...

1 Timothy 3:1-7
King James Version

3 This is a true saying, if a man desire the office of a bishop, he desireth a good work.

2 A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach;

3 Not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre; but patient, not a brawler, not covetous;

4 One that ruleth well his own house, having his children in subjection with all gravity;

5 (For if a man know not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God?)

6 Not a novice, lest being lifted up with pride he fall into the condemnation of the devil.

7 Moreover he must have a good report of them which are without; lest he fall into reproach and the snare of the devil.

[Doctor Phibes]

I'm apostate too, presumably.
