IN OUR HEART
JESUS IS KNOCKING, KNOCKING AT YOUR DOOR.
WON’T YOU LET HIM IN YOUR HEART? (YOU KNOW) HE’LL NEVER ASK FOR MORE.
HE ONLY WANTS TO HELP YOU TURN YOUR HEAD AROUND,
LET YOU SEE THE LIGHTER SIDE OF LIFE AND NEVER WEAR A FROWN
'CAUSE HE LOVES YOU, YES HE LOVES YOU IN HIS HEART.
HE WOULD ASK FOR NOTHING EXCEPT TO BE YOUR FRIEND,
TO WALK WITH YOU THROUGH ALL YOUR FEARS AND SEE YOU THROUGH THE END.
ANY TIME YOU STUMBLE, YOU WON’T HAVE TO CALL;
HE’LL PUT HIS ARMS AROUND YOU TIGHT AND NEVER LET YOU FALL
AND YOU’LL LOVE HIM, YES YOU’LL LOVE HIM IN YOUR HEART.
THAT DOOR WHICH OPENS INWARD CAN’T BE OPENED WIDE
WHILE YOU THINK YOUR BROTHER’S DOWN ON YOU AND YOU STILL HAVE THINGS TO HIDE.
THE LESSON OF FORGIVENESS IS ALL WE NEED TO LEARN
TO SEE THE DARKNESS FALL AWAY UNTIL WE CAN DISCERN
THAT HE LOVES US, YES HE LOVES US IN OUR HEART.
CAN YOU LET YOUR HEART BE OPEN FOR THE UNIVERSE TO SEE
AND KNOW GOD HAS FOUND YOU GUILTLESS? IN THAT INSTANT YOU ARE FREE
TO ACCEPT THE LOVE HE OFFERS, GIVE HIM ALL YOUR FEAR
AND THEN YOUR EYES WILL OPEN AND THE WORLD WILL DISAPPEAR
AND YOU’LL SEE HIM, YES YOU’LL SEE HIM IN YOUR HEART.
AND WHEN YOU SEE THE WORLD AGAIN YOU’LL SEE IT IN THE LIGHT
AND FIND ALL YOUR HOPES AND FEARS HAVE VANISHED WITH THE NIGHT.
THE LOVE YOU’VE FOUND WITHIN YOU HAS CHANGED THE WORLD YOU SEE
TO ONE WHERE ALL GOD’S CHILDREN PLAY IN PERFECT HARMONY
'CAUSE YOU’VE SEEN HIM, YES YOU’VE SEEN HIM IN YOUR HEART.
JESUS IS KNOCKING, KNOCKING AT YOUR DOOR.
IF YOU’LL LET HIM IN YOUR HEART, (YOU KNOW) YOU’LL NEVER ASK FOR MORE
THAN TO SHARE THE LOVE HE’LL FREE IN YOU, THE JOY THAT YOU WILL FIND
IN BRINGING TO A WEARY WORLD YOUR BLESSED PEACE OF MIND
'CAUSE YOU’VE SEEN HIM, YES YOU’VE SEEN HIM IN OUR HEART.
Good God, where did that come from? Is Jehovah punishing me for making a Pope joke?
I repent!

jsgoddess , did you forget about that person saying that “there isn’t anything wrong with Detroit’s current state, we like it that way ”, or you simply hadn’t gotten around to suffering her? She appears at post 58.
Oh her. Yeah she’s a wackadoo. There was some thread a month or so back where a woman was asking where to meet people and she started obsessively talking about how the only place to meet a man was at a gun club. It was really bizarre.

Name calling; the last vestige of the tired mind.
Wasn’t she also the one who claimed it was illegal for women to wear pants until the 1970s?
Last time I checked, this was the Pit. This kind of thing is allowed here.

Yeah, but she’s not wrong.
“Not wrong” because “chucklehead” is name calling? How old are you are you?
Seven?
Waitaminute. Who is it you think elbows is saying isn’t wrong? jsgoddess or raindog ?
elbows , who’s not wrong, jsgoddess , or raindog ?
Personally, I think elbows is saying jsgoddess is the one who’s not wrong, not least because I don’t think raindog is a “she”.
Now you have me confused.
All I know is a few posters are chuckleheads, and maybe I need to think up another Pope joke.

Dude, that is the most coherent comment you’ve made to me, ever. I’m completely shocked you didn’t add in that fetuses don’t call names or that PeeWee Herman and Ethel Merman once did a duet about salmon.

jsgoddess is not wrong. That’s what I meant.
And Monkey with a gun , you’re chastising someone for calling names and then spouting, “How old are you? Seven?”?
Ooooh, great comeback, way to make a point. Seriously?
You’re making her point for her now!
Argent_Towers:
I fuckin’ agree, but still, it galls me to see “faux cursing” with symbols like ampersands and asterisks in place of the actual words. It just makes me think of other forums I’ve been on that are less liberal-minded than this place when it comes to free speech, and automatically censor any swear words; there’s something very childish and silly about it. Words are words.
Some people are posting from work computers which have snooping and keystroke recording software on them, triggered by keywords.

Monkey with a Gun isn’t chastising anyone. S/he didn’t know if you were saying I wasn’t wrong or raindog wasn’t wrong.
Oh, and I called raindog “stunningly clueless,” and I’m standing behind that sucker until Dan Patrick and Desmond Tutu announce their gay love affair aboard the International Space Station.

So why did you quote me, since I was supporting jsgoddess ?
I never understand this explanation. If you’re going to get busted for going to websites that contain profanity while you’re at work, don’t go to those websites when you’re at work. Why should I have to watch my language (in the Pit, no less) because you want to get over on your boss?

To be fair, until the 1970’s it was against the student regulations for girls to wear pants at Alexander Fleming Jr. High, Lomita, CA. That’s almost the same thing.

The implication is that the software isn’t checking the website, it’s checking the employee’s keystrokes. What comes in is someone else’s problem, but what goes out reflects on the company or agency.
