(snark) Isn't all masturbation same-sex, by necessity? Unless you're a true hermaphrodite, there's only going to be one gender involved in any case. (/snark)

Marvin...

Ya hit the nail on the head regarding gossip. Unfortunately, it's a lot easier to yell about gay people because they only compromise a small percentage of the community. But a much higher percentage of people gossip, including a lot of people who call themselves Christian. That's why it's called "sharing out of concern." Trust me, I know...I grew up in a church that mastered the art of that one!

Tsk, that was very mean of your mentor. Next time you have a men's gathering and you bring your amazing cheese puffs, challenge him to resist temptation and stick to the celery and carrot sticks. That'll teach him :)

Joe G - You're wrong! Munching on donuts is just as serious a sin as homosexual sex. The Lord does not like either as they are both clearly against His infallible word.

Marvin, sorry to comment twice to one post, but I just remembered something! A friend of mine wrote a wonderful Biblical exegesis on over-eating. Maybe it might help your mentor to realise just how disgusting donut munching is in the eyes of God.

Just copy and paste this link:

Peterson, thank you very much for having Marvin on. It's really kind of you to host him, and I'm learning a lot. Please excuse how this comes across, but I've not had much exposure to 'his sort' before and it's opening my eyes. I'm not a churchgoer, and I thought that 'his lot' were all unapproachable and inhuman, obsessed with blood or something, and Marvin's ordinary enough. Thanks for speaking truth to the power of my prejudices.

Take care.
love K3n.

Thats the problem with "accountability partners"....there is the inherant humanness....and very few people have the integrity to be able to keep private things private.
