Whether insane thinking or bashing someone’s looks or weight, I grow tired of the stupidity of men in general! From crazy Karen’s to people who indulge in abject violence, I have no patience with! With regards to weight issues and body shaming, suffice to say, what is preventable or easily addressed it is incumbent upon some to make wise :calvin choices for themselves! lifestyles as like sin are a matter of personal choices! This again simply highlights the brokenness of men! There are many in my own family who are afflicted with dysfunctionality of one sort or another! Again speaking to the inherent brokenness of body, soul and spirit! No one is perfect! My imperfections will be addressed when mortality puts on immortality! But the consequences of poor choices falls upon each of us! TR Hey Arthur :mail: Could you give us a little insight on this Difiant L's style - for dummies!!? :mdrmdr: :mdrmdr: :scratch: They are deceived! They are either ignorantly or willingly on the side of the Reset, the Left, the elite, the deep state, or whatever you want to call it. If willingly, they need a big dose of Truth from every direction. If they are not for God; they are against God, and therefore everything we stand for, believe, and hope for. I pray they find the Way before it's too late. Oh, it's nothing fancy. He simply shows Twitter quotes (usually of the same person) to expose their hypocricy. He doesn't have to even comment. The people's words speak for themselves. For example, he'll quote someone as saying that they will never take the Trump vaxxx in a million years. It's not safe/he's trying to kill people/it's rushed, etc. Then they'll turn around a few months later (after Biden becomes resident) and say that anyone who doesn't get the vaxxx deserves to die. :wacko: Or they'll tweet: My body, my choice in support of murdering babies in the womb (abortion) and then turn around and say they want vaxxx mandates. (You have ceded control and autonomy of your body.) :wacko: It's mostly directed at liberals/democrats. They seem to be the worst offenders. Oh tell me about it … I’ve been body shamed mostly in “Christian” surroundings because I have a birthmark on my leg. This is why I didn’t marry … I cover it up with an average band-aid when I’m wearing shorts or a bathing suit. Back in 6th grade I was mature for my age ( I stop growing in height) and the principal’s son in 8th grade asked me out. Well before our first lunch date at school … I quickly did my paper route after school and then headed over to the soccer field. I was wearing shorts and my “boyfriend” saw the birthmark and was giggling with his brothers and he said he can’t go out with me after all because I’m damage goods and not perfect. His critical opinion along with the Youth Pastor … our home was the meeting place for my older siblings friends to gather at and I was in shorts and the pastor rang the bell and thru the glass screen door he saw me walking towards the door from the basement and he had the nerve to say “what happened to your leg?” I said “its a birthmark” … then he said “oh what a shame”. I thought great him too, a “Christian” grown up?? There were 3 more Christians that also said nasty comments thru the years. I told one of them I have asked the doctors if I can have it removed and they said no, its too deep and surrounded by the nerves … I could be paralyzed if they try to remove it so my choice is … I rather be able to walk than to please them! I met up with the principal’s son years later … he didn’t graduate from the school … his dad expelled him for doing drugs. So I didn’t see him for a few years and then out of the blue he shows up at the church one Sunday with his wife. Meanwhile I returned from college with a fabulous tan … I weighed 95 pounds and my hair was styled just perfect that day and was wearing this cute outfit. So … I’m in this one Sunday School class in the basement … it hadn’t started yet … there were a few classes to pick and attend … so I’m in this one and the chairs were in a semi circle and I’m sitting down … and then … he comes walking thru the double doors and I recognized him instantly. I had a smirk on my face while I saw him do a double take. He sat down one seat away … it was an empty metal folding chair that separated us and he kept glancing over at me. I said … hi, its been a looong time since we last met … then I said really loud … so is this YOUR idea of the perfect body and glance at his fat wife. Then I said to his wife would you believe your hubby wouldn’t date me because he said I didn’t have the perfect body. Then I glanced at him as I got up and said I’m glad you lowered your standards and giggled as I walked out of that class. I don’t care if I was mean and cruel … it felt GREAT. Back in 2014 I googled a few people that have hurt me … saw their facebook accounts … they sure let themselves go and look terrible now. Don’t know what its going to be like in heaven or during the millennium … will we still have our flaws, scars and/or birthmarks? If so, I will still be covering mine up with a band aid and avoiding the nasty critical people. B-)
