I did not twist words it says that "homosexuality" is the way of death

Are you referring to the fact that homosexuals cannot reproduce naturally with one another? So, tell me, do you think heterosexual couples remaining childless by choice is a sin?

look I'm probably wrong the way I put down the person!

but my statments about thier lifesyle is corect

and abortion, homsexuality, among others is wrong

I sin to but I'm trying not to. and more importantly I have a Savior,

JESUS paid my debt. he did no wrong yet while I still sined He loved me and you.

don't let this sin I have comitted on this site block your heart,from JESUS

he is perfect, and I'm a work in progress

if you could have seen me 5 years ago you would say man you are so different .

JESUS is the Way the Truth and the Life

MRS. Alexandra I do I belive that Homosexuality from what the Bible says about it is a sin.

It is a sin and the wages of sin is death

but if you belive in JESUS and turn from sin and turn to Him

one will be saved.

Hey, It is interesting, I am not a Christian but my notion of Christianity is that Jesus was a caring and benevolent figure who wanted to embrace people from all walks of life and bring them into the fold.

It is funny that some people who profess to be Christians are the most hate filled ,nasty people, that try to dictate to others how they must live their lives.

It is irrelevant, but I am actually a heterosexual female.

I am sorry but I don't buy this whole notion of sinning. People are born into this life to be who they are, and live to their full potential.

In 2007 I would have hoped we had evolved a little bit more.

Hi Leatha, I think you could be right on this. I have found people like that to be in the minority as time goes by. Most people just want to live alongside each other happily. Susannah

I just smell a troll, so perhaps by NOT reacting to his behavior, we can move forward in peace without having to say offensive things to or about any one particular group? Just my 2 cents..

On the one hand, I agree. On the other hand, to me, this a perfect example of "many" (notice I say many, not all) "Christian" people doing the following:

1. Cramming their beliefs down other's throats by blathering on and on about Jesus, who the majority of people on the earth DO NOT BELIEVE IN.

2. Saying inflammatory and degrading things about non-Christians.

3. Advocating hatred against Gays.

But whenever I try to point out this kind of behavior from "Christian" people, I get branded as being "judgemental", "mean" and "nasty".

This person here exactly proves many points I have been trying to make on certain threads that some "Christians" are really really nasty and want to take away Gay people's rights.

And you know, I think I've been very very nice and polite about it, much more nice and polite than this person.

I'm soooo sick and tired of pandering to this nonsense about Jesus. Jesus is a MYTH.

I'm sick of people attacking Gays and Lesbians with hate speech in the name of a mythological figure who about as much validity as Santa Claus. Sick of it!

I don't care any more. I am soooo done being polite about Christianity. It's people like 396Power that push me over the edge from being respectful to just plain being angry.

Hey, 396 I accept your apology. Just know that we are all bandsters/future bandsters here just looking for support and advice. I understand that this is the rants and raves section of the board, but I am sure we have many gay and lesbian bandsters on this board. They are discriminated against enough in the wider community, they don't need to log on here and feel demonised also.

Beautifully said, Susannah. And 396, your apology is appreciated! I hope we can move forward with debates in peace without attacking one another.

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
