The Hobbit Hole III - Journey to the Cross-roads!

[HairOfTheDog]

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

Journey to the Cross-roads
The Two Towers Edition

Come on! Come in! -if you would like to have some seedcakes and a pint and relax a while. (If it is a special occasion, we still have a few bottles of the old wineyards left!)

Our first thread ( New Zealander builds Hobbit hole ) reached 4,100 posts, and we thought that was big. Our second thread (The New Hobbit Hole ) held us for over 48,000 posts, and we loved it dearly. We talked about moving to a new thread for the last 38,000 posts, but we are really slow to muster! Finally, the time has come. Tomorrow (at 12:01 am, to be precise!) The Two Towers comes out, and we start a new chapter.

Those are from yesterday...

Eeeewwwww!

[Corin Stormhands]

Pretty good. But you have to tell me that I don't understand I Corinthians 2:14.

Blaspheming Heretics would be a great name for a band...

[RMDupree]

I love the whole thing.... hypnotized by the music, and the dancing.

I'm tellin' ya! I could not stop humming and tapping my foot while it was on!

[HairOfTheDog]

Well, it isn't Tevye that first volunteers the information.... Golde the mother does, and Tseitel calls out to them where they will be. But Tevye does whisper "And God be with you".... Which Tseitel also repeats....

I love it. My Dad would be the same way, and just as incapable of saying the emotional thing. I have risked his banishment before.

[Corin Stormhands]

I need to watch it again....note: Netfix queue...

[HairOfTheDog]

I think I need to watch it right now!

[carton253]

Oh, let me.

You know what your problem is Corin... you don't have an understanding of what you are reading. You see, you have been eating the fruit of the lie of Eden, and it has dulled your hearing and blinded your eyes.

If you can't understand I Corinthians 2:14, then I suggest that you take a hard look at the state of your salvation, because I'm such a special human being, and God and I are as close as can be, and He has told me that you aren't saved... no matter what you profess.

I'm in fear for your soul, but then I don't know why I should be. I'm a superior Calvinist who knows everything about anything. Just quiz me. Come on, think of a question. I triple dog-dare you.

No? Scared? Thought so!

Well, we know where you live, and one day, my posse of pharisees are gonna show up and teach you a thing or two about the love of Christ, which obviously you don't understand.'

Cause if you did, you would take all my patronizing insults and name calling in stride and realize that when I put a smiley face next to the insult du jour, I'm just kidding and you are being too sensitive.

Brother, you best repent before you find yourself on the outside looking in. And you will only have yourself to blame.... because you've been warned.

And if you refuse to take my rebuke seriously, then I wash my hand of you.

God bless you, and you have a nice day.

PS - No Christian, Dwarf, or Smeagol have been injured in the writing of this documentary of the FR Religious Wars.

[Corin Stormhands]

You know, that'd be really funny if it weren't so darn close to what the_doc actually said to me...er...to Ward...

[HairOfTheDog]

Eeeek!

[carton253]

You know what... besides the part of "knowing where you live", the_doc has said the same to me. (You shared some of what the_doc had written, so I included it)

I told the_doc to "bite me."

He didn't appreciate it, but left me alone after that.

Isn't it sad that a bunch of adults can't get along.

Isn't it even sadder that a bunch of Christians can't.

[carton253]

I did a masterful job of distilling the "religious wars." That's why I don't hang out there anymore.

[HairOfTheDog]

It scared me!

[carton253]

It scared me too the first time it was directed at me. I thought I had wondered into a nice Christian thread... I didn't know I had wandered unto a bloody battlefield where people were still shooting at each other.

So, like I said, I avoid the place. Haven't been there in a year.

Sorry that you had to witness it.

[HairOfTheDog]

Heh.....

Check this article out before it gets pulled:

World Trade Center Bombs

[ksen]

Whoa, that was scary. I had to double check the name at the bottom of that post.

[carton253]

Oh, my!

My Arabic teacher thinks it was a Zionist plot.That's why America should be going after Tel Aviv and not Al Queda since Bin Ladin is nothing more than a CIA plant.

Truth? Why let the truth get in the way of a good conspiracy theory.

[carton253]

LOL!

Spot on though...

Like I said, it was directed at my head a couple of times.

Plus I was called a sanctimonious, censorious hypocrite.

Ouch... good thing I'm not running for Prom Queen.

That's why I hit the abuse button and got the whole thread pulled. I couldn't take what they were doing to the cause of Christ.

[HairOfTheDog]

The longer it stays up, the more time I want to spend actually refuting the ridiculous claims...

[shudder]

But I keep thinking by the time I hit 'post' it will be gone.

[carton253]

You know what... if anyone believes that, there is not enough words in the English language to convince him that he is a complete and total idiot.

[RMDupree]

I don't wander into those threads for fear of damning my eternal soul!

Just kidding!

I don't go there simply because I do not relish the idea of being verbally abused by some idiot who is obviously compensating his "male shortcomings" with a "big attitude".
