Jude 2

Hey.. where did it go? It was cool. Deemed Offensive? Aww shucks.

Vaulted? Thanks Dolfan.

Hey.. why not repost and let me ... LINK to the photo instead of direct post.. so the eyes of the redeemed can be clean from a shadow. Sheesh!

There was nothing offensive at all about the spinning woman image.

"Unto the pure all things are pure..."

Agreed. Was it a comment then? Delete the comment instead! I found the visual spinning displaying the left vs right brain visuals fascinating.


Removing because of something like this above is crazy.

It's back on the main board, gentlemen. Maybe I am the only one that found the lady with the nipples a bit over the top.

Carry on.

You are not alone, sister. I think it was a bit much (especially the erect nipples). I don't blame Mac User for that. I blame the creator of the image and/or the visual test. I wouldn't use a nude silhoutte on my mud flaps or bumper. Why then should I find it reasonable to see such in a post on a Christian forum community?

Thank you for attempting to be considerate of the feelings of those who would prefer not to see the image.

And, yes I realize the image is a mere fictional silhoutte. I'm not saying it is wrong to post it. It just struck me as something inapproriate and in poor taste -- not sinful. I don't want anyone to think I am trying to be condemning or anything.

Just my two cents, and a word ot Shellie to let her know she was not alone in her opinion. Course opnions differ, and everybody has their own.

Response: I would say a simple difference of opinion.

Response: Put the shoe on the other foot. If it had erect man parts would it be offensive at all? The fact that some found it possibly offensive indeed means you can't say "nothing offensive at all". Except this is your world and we only play here.

interesting. I guess I never saw what some of you are seeing. the image seemed rather "pixelated" to me, and with the antialiasing and cleartype effects turned on, on my main computer - not something that was even there, in my opinion. (and, BTW - I never assumed nudity for that or those mudflap images)

Thanks. Agreed.

For the rest.. lets be totally realistic here. If any man here wants to see something erect on a female or anything else... they are not going to be staring at this rotating 3D brain teaser shadow.

My "revealing" post of Left vs Right Brain thought processes.. did way more in the deeper revelation department with it's *ahem* movements than I expected, eh?

What shall we deem this new reaction? ( Rhetorical Question )

I didn't see anything erect....

and I imagined this woman in ballerina tights...not nude...

and if a man were in the same tights...you wouldn't see anything erect either...

I think the pixels through some off...but that's fine....I do agree that if some found it offensive then it should be gone.

But I do believe that it did also point out the way some of our brains tend to lean in naughty or over cautious directions...

My point exactly. It's not that it was necessarily offensive to me, but I was simply being cautious with the face we present here.

My oldest daughter's first visitor home from the hospital was a stripper. (BC days of course ) I'm probably the exact opposite of a prudish thinker. I was raised in a Daytona Bike Week world so it's not like I'm exactly too over-sensitive.

I'd rather err on the side of being too cautious than too loose. Perhaps, my perception comes from being the mom of three daughters.

Good discussion topic actually. What do we deem visually or verbally offensive and why? How much of a role does upbringing, culture, exposure, environment, and etc. have to do with it?

Response: I think some of you all need new monitors or new glasses!

I'll be honest, that was the first thing I saw.
