RE: [TruthTalk] Coddling sin IS sin

[ShieldsFamily]

Judy, I had no idea that you raised your children wrong; sorry to hear it if that is the case.  Actually, I don’t have sodomite “friends”, just neighbors and acquaintances.  FTR, I will leave you to your opinions from now on. If you don’t believe me, just ask the Mormons.

This only greases the skids to hell.   jt: Oh is that so? Now you are telling me I am in a co-dependent relationship with sodomites and am an enabler? You are the one with the sodomite friends Izzy.  Not me.   I think we need to go back and take a harder look at John 8:7 "Let him who is without sin cast the first stone" That is some good counsel.   Judy
