be honest

[dolfan]

My daughter has picked up the habit of saying "stinking" this or that from a relative of mine. It sounds awful. I corrected, and now when she says it, she gets punished. Now, I need to heed my own advice on that. I don't say cuss words in front of anyone but my wife, and then it is unusual. You can ask anyone I know, if they heard me say an expletive, they'd be quite surprised. I have to be pretty dadgum(oops) mad, and I don't get that way often.

OTOH, if I'm alone and working on an inanimate object that makes me a fool, and most of them do, I may say anything. I have a short fuse with 'things', or rather, with myself working on them. I admit it, and therefore, I usually get someone else (i.e., my bro) to help. He has a saltier tongue than I ever have, but he's way more patient in those times than me because he's very good with them. And, I learn a lot from him about that stuff (like, now I can do a little tiling work ---- a little).

But you do smoke TW so there are 2 sins present.

At the risk of a hijack...

(Obligatory disclaimer: don't smoke, never have smoked, hate smoking, hate the stinky after-effects of smoking... okay, that's out of the way...)

Just for the sake of our discussion about what is and isn't sin, in light of your wife's great insight ("I bet it wouldn't be. I bet you make yourself feel condemned. Conviction and condemnation are 2 totally different things. Sorry, but you go to the most condemning church I have ever been to in my life. I know from experience. I was both condemning and condemned. Sadness.") -- cite your Biblical reasoning that smoking is sin, please.

How does your reasoning address the aforementioned statement your wife made, and the verses TW posted...
Mt 15:16 And Jesus said, Are ye also yet without understanding?
Mt 15:17 Do not ye yet understand, that whatsoever entereth in at the mouth goeth into the belly, and is cast out into the draught?

Cussing !!!! Its amazing that I can read cuss words to a Church form the pulpit and its ok. But if I use them on the street its a sin. The Bible talks about, Shittah Ish. 41-19, Shittah Tree Exd. 26-37, shitim wood, Shitum Josh. 2-1, Bastard Deut. 23-2, Heb. 12-8, Ass, Piss II KIngs 18-27, Ish 36-12 and Pisseth I Sam. 25-22.
I assume form this that cussing to one is not cussing to another.

I have a question for anyone who cares to answer. Is a cuss word in L.A. that is lower Alabama a cuss word in Africa ????? P.G. and Pauly I know you guys can weigh in on this. Having lived in several parts of the World I know cussing to one is not to another.

What think ye ?

Oh, I hope it is not, cause I found my old tobacco pipe this weekend while we were moving, and I've rewarded myself with a cheap pack of black cavendish and I've had some --- twice. (For those of you who care to distinguish, it's like a cigar .... you don't inhale.)

If you do a google search on the history of cussing or profanity you will find some very interesting stuff. BUT BEWARE!!! many of those site LIST some of the words and use them in various contexts. Wikipedia has a real good read on profanity. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Profanity

Like I said, BE WARNED there is alot of salty language on those sites.

I really believe it is the intent of the heart, not the word where the matter resides.

We have a pastor who live for many many years in Australia. He told us that the word "stuffed" there, has the same connotations as the "F-Bomb" here.

Oh yeah, dont watch the Dog show if you are easily offended by the B word.

EXCELLENT point!!! Proves the point that it has nothing to do with the letters put together with the sound they make. If the F-word is a sin then so is stuffed!! Should bring the same conviction. However, it's condemnation and has nothing to do with conviction.

I still don't stinkin cuss though dadgummit.
