That is just fantastic that we get to see some good dialog despite the opposing stances. I love this!

Re: Palm App Catalog Surpasses One Million Downloads

Agreed.. they do need more Apps... bad! However, it does note on the Apps Catalog that it's in Beta... which this optimist takes to mean, "And there's a WHOLE lot more coming, bro...."

I think Tweed is probably my favorite app so far, and then Evernote.

Oh well, second time is a charm. :) ... in this case. I hope it is a good conversation too. We will see if he was just a drive-by commenter or not.

Hmm, I thought I did that, but oh well. I just re-did it. Maybe it will turn into a good conversation! :-) I always hope for that, anyway.

And who are the Right-wing fanatics, Chris? Could you clearly describe who that includes? Are fanatics bad? Or are they only bad when they disagree with you.

Chris... what you're saying about being hypocritical is a generalizing and judgmental statement. Doesn't leave a lot of room for tolerance and discussion (despite disagreement), now does it?

Thought: One need not be 'moderate' to have a civil discussion with someone they completely disagree with.

Hey Mike, if you hit reply underneath the actual comment it should notify who you are responding to that you have responded..

It's a sad day when a whole lot of lusty "progressives" decide to turn themselves into victims and cry and whine for rights that fly in the face of basic biology and ancient human tradition.

Re: The time for saying "please" is over

Fear? How about the fact that even without the tactics you're describing, many of us simply know in our hearts that sexuality is sacred and that there is such a thing as right and wrong. I agree... the GOP has got a lot of problems. Both parties do, though, and to say that only one party is using tactics shows just how uneducated and illogical YOU are. Any thinking American can tell you that political interests are what control American Mainstream Media at large.

Come on now, Shell... just admit that you're being blindly rabid about this.

And do not forget that your 'people group' (as you define it for yourselves) does NOT own the state of California. You are a part of a large population of people... a population where the majority disagrees with your choice of lifestyle. In fact, many view it as abhorrent behavior... not a lifestyle, not a 'people group'.

There has been much deception on behalf of the GLTB community to force the acceptance of your behavior upon the rest of this state and nation. And we're tired of your actions as well.

Oh dang. Chest fat (male, anyway) is a booger!

We can go in together, Randy... strength in numbers.

No ... not at all. I knew you were playing. I thought about saying something about "... it seems like only yesterday I was 24 and didn't feel like I need breast reduction surgery" but edited out the surgery part.

:)

You realize that I was on a self-depreciating pedestal, right? Just re-read my reply above, and it may have actually sounded 'prideful'. ;-)

Re: Speak For Yourself Porky - Gym Update

RThomasETC — Tue, 10 Feb 2009 16:47:10 -0000

Yeah... get off the pedestal. I am not that old but it seems like only yesterday I was 24.

Re: Speak For Yourself Porky - Gym Update

mdturner77 — Tue, 10 Feb 2009 14:20:40 -0000

HA HA AH HAAAAAA!!! Yeah, people at the gym can leave all kinds of impressions. I don't know how often I find myself shaking my head at folks (at least in my mind). And I agree... maneuvering in the locker room can sometimes be a little scary. There's a reason why guys wear shirts. And no, I don't mean so that they're not causing others to stumble (out of temptation, anyway).

I'm probably going to look more like that as I get older, though... so I better stay off the pedestal, I guess.

Re: Oprah & Pelosi Highlight Haggard

mdturner77 — Thu, 29 Jan 2009 12:25:41 -0000

I am so thrilled to hear that a good portion of truth, compassion, and real inspiration came through on the show. And I commend Pelosi for her comments about being inspired by Ted, and for her realistic response to Ted's new allegations. That was some real class, in my opinion.

Thanks for sharing, Randy. So... when are you coming out to Roseville, CA (Sacramento). We're having Sy Rogers here next month. Cool, huh?

Re: What If Ted Had Told the Truth?

mdturner77 — Wed, 21 Jan 2009 13:30:19 -0000

Agreed. Prudence is a good concept.

Re: What If Ted Had Told the Truth?

RThomasETC — Wed, 21 Jan 2009 10:29:01 -0000

I agree with the transparent thing but I also believe in figuring out what is appropriate to share where. It's not an act of hiddenness but it appropriateness.

Re: What If Ted Had Told the Truth?

mdturner77 — Wed, 21 Jan 2009 02:59:00 -0000

Transparency is huge. And if our American church culture is looking for only the strongest to have the reigns of large organizations like the one Ted was the president of, then they need to look for leaders who are the most transparent, instead of the most 'put together'. Our politicians have that farce down, and we don't need our pastors doing the same thing. That's more of an encouragement, than a rebuke (although I'm sure it's a rebuke as well).

Which is big part of why I appreciate what you and the folks at Exodus are all about. "A pursuit of holiness, not just heterosexuality."

Randy! I can't believe you're not going to live blog. And this was going to be the very first time I actually watched the show!!!

Not.

Re: So… What Was Jail Like?

RThomasETC — Mon, 19 Jan 2009 22:25:29 -0000

Mike, thanks for reading and commenting. I think it's kind of like when God looks down on us, His children, and our own self-imposed prisons. We deserve them, we put ourselves in that position and yet ... He wants us to be free... to be truly free.

My loved one is in jail because he deserves it. Even so, I wished I could have taken him out with me. That's also another source of anxiety; knowing he earned his place in there but still wanting him to be out of there.

It's good to see you Mike.

Re: So… What Was Jail Like?

mdturner77 — Mon, 19 Jan 2009 03:39:58 -0000

Wow, that was really... touching, Randy. I can't imagine how hard it was to do that, but even how much harder it was to leave. Thanks for sharing, good buddy.

That is a whole different kind of riot. Hope you had success.
