[SoothingDave]

I've reviewed those posts this morning playing catchup, and can testify to your clarification on the point you just reiterated concerning life insurance, and witness Dave's avoiding that clarification in order to apply his own general definition to "gambling".

Am I in a dream world? Did I or did I not use, repeat and document that I was using the exact definition Doug used?

Why can no one admit this? Is it that difficult to see? I guess I'm cursed to be the only one who understands the difference between meeting the requirements and following through to the conclusion.

(SD) " . . . can you agree, as I gave an out earlier, that suffering helps to sanctify us?"

(Reg) NO! In some cases it may, in others, absolutely not.

(SD) Reggie corrects my statement again. Of course I meant that suffering may help to sanctify us, depending on our own attitude. Suffering turns some in to saints, and others into, ironically, insufferable people.

(Reg) Learn to say what you mean. Your "open ended" pronouncements leave too much for later "modification".

(SD) Learn to read what I say, instead of giving me the inquisition all the time.
