Losing dignity in public April 7, 2008

Yesterday I witnessed something tragic (or hilarious if you have no soul like the husband). A girl losing all dignity…even for love. We were out yesterday afternoon in FW and we drove around the building looking for a parking spot. There was a couple sitting on a bench in a more secluded spot in the area. They were sitting comfortably but you could tell they were arguing. The establishment we were hoping to sit outside of and enjoy the weather was closed so we were walking to another and had to pass the couple. This time the girl was standing and screaming. I tried to not listen but she was screaming and our walking by didn’t seem to deter her. The husband was more than happy to walk up and sit on the bench with the dude getting yelled at for a front row seat of this dramatic scene. He is of the opinion that if you’re going to display your personal business in public then you make it permissible for him to be interested in what happens. Needless to say we kept walking but could hear the girl scream “I LOVE YOU…WITH ALL MY HEART!” We went into another store across the parking lot and strolled around for about 20 minutes and came back. They were gone but as we walked back by they pulled up in a car (with windows rolled down) and she was screaming, “WHY DON’T YOU WANT ME?!?”

 

I wondered what happened. Were they in a long time relationship and he abruptly and unexpectedly broke it off? Were they casually dating and she is just a little psycho. Either way, SHEESH!

Okay, today I was leaving work carrying a computer monitor which was decently heavy (especially considering my upper body strength cannot take much more than the weight of carrying my coffee mug) and bulky if nothing else. So I am carrying this thing out the front door at work and I tell our receptionist that I cannot use the revolving door (which she prefers when it is so cold) b/c I am carrying this big ol’ thing. A guy is leaving at the same time (and hears me talking to the receptionist). Now I know, in this day and age, it is way too much to ask that this fellow offer to carry the computer for me, however, to get into the parking garage I have to go through two glass doors (and pull). The computer was getting heavy and I really wanted to stop and take a rest but I needed to stay with this guy so he could hold the door for me. He is like 8 feet in front of me AND THE DUDE DID NOT BOTHER TO HOLD THE DOOR FOR ME…a tiny woman carrying a big bulky monitor. I have to say, I find this very troubling. Sigh….

Just in case you didn’t know ,fellas…I know you have to live in a world tainted by all that women’s lib stuff and I know most, if not all, of you are perfect gentlemen. BUT just incase, know this: you should always let a women on the elevator first, you should always pick something up if a woman drops something, you should help her if she is struggling to carry or lift something and for the love of all that is sacred HOLD THE DOOR OPEN FOR A WEAK LITTLE WOMAN CARRYING A BIG ASS COMPUTER MONITOR!

Has anyone ever been to the website http://www.pulpit-pimps.org/

Disclaimer: I know I pick on Christians and/or Baptist for the stupid things they often do but I am a Christian and a Baptist. This website is basically devoted to pointing out things preached that are/border on Heresy. I have not read the entire website, therefore, this is not an endorsement of this website.

With that said, if you go to this website you will find the most hilarious audio clip. I think the title is “You cannot teach yourself.” This particular clip is about a preacher basically saying that you cannot read the Bible and come to a reasonable conclusion by yourself because we cannot all go around making our own truth.

It’s true that people will try their damndest to twist the Bible for their own agendas but I think this advice is not only foolish but completely UN-Biblical.

This guy says PARAPHRASE “You need a preacher to tell you what to think about the Bible so you won’t make up your own stuff.” HOWEVER, he goes on to say that if you don’t like what one preacher says, go find one you can agree with and let him tell you what truth is? It would be totally HILARIOUS if not for the fact that the audio contains people saying “AMEN” in agreement.

The lesson: You need a preacher to tell you how to think. So find a preacher who thinks what you think so he can tell you what to think
