In a sane world, his reinstatement would have been the end of that congregation

I asked my gay nail guy why anyone should feel proud of his or her sexual orientation. HE said that it didn't make any sense to him.

He's been doing my nails for almost 20 years.
My nails for these two weeks are red, white and blue in "star bursts."

Amen to that.

Notice it is always a play on emotion. A rapist finds it hard to change, should he be allowed to become a minister? How about a murderer, or a bank robber, should they be able to continue in their sinful ways and become ministers?

but today the UMC is one of the first to let the fag flag fly. One reason I’m no longer a member.

Interesting anecdote: All of my homosexual students were abused as children except one. He was mauled by a dog when he was young, and was also born with a heart condition that means he now lives with a defibrillator in his heart. This man was severely traumatized at the earliest of ages. It’s almost like homosexuality is a mental disorder as a result of trauma.

Since we're taking about church policy here, wouldn't it be important to check what, oh I don't know, THE BIBLE has to say about the matter?? Or is that a hate crime these days?

I’ve often wondered how many were abused as children. Most homosexual activists will not admit to it, because they want everyone to believe they were born that way.

I still remember the story of “Little Boy Blue” whose body was found on a road on Christmas Eve. He was abused by his father and his father’s friends for many years.

Maybe just me, but the expressions on their faces are very telling.

The son looks like the devil, laughing; the father looks beaten, not joyful.

Am I wrong?

I’ve had aquaintance of several gay ‘friends’ through church in the past. All of them really desired to get out of the lifestyle but the pull of temptation was so great none of them ever were successful. Of course there are those who do overcome the gay lifestyle but they are few. Must be an intense addiction to break.

THEN, my dear, you haven't lived.

I go to my "club" for the pedicure. I used to REFUSE even the idea. Then, I finally had one and oooooooooooooooooooooo, was it nice.

My natural fingernails are weak, thin, soft and breakable. My girlfriend bit her nails but one day she showed up with GORGEOUS nails. I stared..."Huh? How...?"
The answer: acrylic nails.

He's been doing my nails a LONG time with NO ill effects whatsoever. I just have GORGEOUS acrylic nails--ALL the time.

Get a manicure someday. If you HATE it, tell the manicurist: "I don't like this. Stop." She/he will stop. Then, you get up and leave the shop.

Ditto with the pedicure.

Never hurts to try. Remember, if you hate it, tell him/her to stop.

Many businessmen get the super simple manicure, no color. no polish. It doesn't hurt THEM to have decent nails. Their hands are always front and center so their fingernails might as well be neat and tidy.

I thought the same thing myself. Queers are looking more openly and sinisterly queer. The buzz cut hair and the stubbly facial hair along with a generally evil looking sneering stare is becoming the badge of the in your face queer brigade.

The son is bald, it’s trendy these days for bald or balding men to adopt that look. I do the same look, especially on weekends when I don’t shave. Nothing sinister about it. The Father does look haggard.
