By that I assume you are a follower and a practicer of JC's message. Yet you refuse the friendship of Anna almost to the point of banishment, which seems to me to be very hypocritical. I was also going to ask you: Is what Anna is going through a "sin" or wrong according to your beliefs?

Ya know, I like to think of myself as a fairly understanding live-and-let-live kinda guy where this stuff is concerned, but I honestly think you would have been better off not mentioning your mental problems here. Just because some nitwit gave it a name (Gender Dysphoria?) does NOT mean the condition really exists, nor does it mean we should just accept it. If you want to be a girl, fine, be one, but coming in here and expecting sympathy, understanding, and acceptance from the bulk of the audience after saying you're a guy that wants to be a girl is pure bullshit, and I for one don't want to hear about it. I'm not sure how many people agree with my outlook, but I'm sure there are a few. I don't want to know who you were (ad I really do give a flying donkey f**k either), and frankly people like you creap me out - you're as bad as fundamentalist religious fanatics. Your "coming out" messages are precisely the kind of bullshit that gets posted here that does NOT belong and that I hate to see, and I will continue to visciously lash out and verbally viscerate anyone that does so. Now, before anyone gets on their freakin high-horse, remember one thing - I'm not in the mood to debate with whiny, sniveling little Barbies who think I'm being too harsh or downright rude. This "coming out" shit has no place in the lounge. ------- signature starts "...the staggering layers of obscenity in your statement make it a work of art on so many levels." - Jason Jystad, 10/26/2001 Please review the Legal Disclaimer in my bio. ------- signature ends
I thought I knew what an idiot was. You learn something new every day. Would you like to meet my teddy bear ?

You will tolerate abberant behavior, but not one man's opinion. Who's the idiot?

John, you can hide who you are if you wish. I won't condemn you for that, and nor should anyone else. I won't and can't do that though, so don't ask me. I've done what I had to, and I'm not going to pretend to have a past I didn't have. Anna :rose: "Be yourself - not what others think you should be"

The question is, why should I tolerate intolerance ? Would you like to meet my teddy bear ?
If you want to rock the boat, expect to get thrown off.

Sorry, but I agree with the reply above. Your sig line is hypocritial. Would you like to meet my teddy bear ?
Hmmmm, it seems I am getting what both of you are driving at. Let me make it easy...hoping you will understand:
- Putting Christianity aside, I love and honor woman, I will simply not put up with anyone who dishonors them in anyway.
- Back to Christianity, it is good for him to know the truth and the wrong path he is taken, instead of "falseful" smile, in the name of freedom - the little I can say.
- On social level, I was well disciplined by my Mom, and she loves - I do not have to be told.
- To you, let your child do whatever he/she wants, simply sit and watch to show him/her your "love" - your family will be a better place.
Best regards, Paul. Jesus Christ is LOVE! Please tell somebody.

"In Anna's situation"? It's nobody's fault but "Anna's". He did NOT have to announce what was happening, and he (and the rest of us) would have been a lot better off without doing so.

I have known someone go through this. It is not a mental problem but a genetic disorder. Would you like to meet my teddy bear ?

Cape Town, South AfricaHaving a disease is not a sin. However, I agree with John Simmons, just b/c someone gave it a name, doesn't mean it's a real condition. Just like today, homosexuality used to be considered a mental condition that should be treated, now it's an "alternative lifestyle" and everyone's ok with it. A man physically changing his body to become a woman, and I'm assuming pursue relationships with men, is a sin. Christians are not to associate with people that are sinning with no desire to repent. "But now I have written to you not to keep company with anyone named a brother, who is sexually immoral, or covetous, or an idolater, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or an extortioner--not even to eat with such a person." (1 Cor 5:11) "Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God. And such were some of you. But you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus and by the Spirit of our God." (1 Cor 6:9-11) Sodomite refers to the more masculine in the homosexual relationship while the greek word tranlated as "homesexual" refers to the more effeminate in the relationship. That some churches gladly welcome these people into their fellowship shows that that church does not value Scripture. Jason Gerard "This almost never matters, except quite often."

We can argue the point all day long, but if the sinner is not willing to change his or her life, they will be rejected by Jesus. Love does not equal acceptance/tolerance.
