RE: [TruthTalk] Perry vs DaveH

Judy, I believe that Lance is the one who coined the term in 1914, so you’ll just have to forgive him.  Izzy   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Judy Taylor Sent: Tuesday, June 07, 2005 7:25 AM To: TruthTalk@mail.innglory.org Cc: TruthTalk@mail.innglory.org Subject: Re: [TruthTalk] Perry vs DaveH   Before you get carried away here Lance, I seem to recall that not so long ago you referred to me on this public internet list as 'one funny broad' - and as a child of God I find this term offensive; are you aware of it's origin? - if not I will enlighten you (this is from Plateau Press.com): jennifer: How/where/when/why did the word 'broad' get used to describe a woman? Doug: This term started out as US criminal slang. The original meaning was 'a prostitute' and when it entered mainstream usage it broadened (sorry for the pun, I just couldn't resist) its meaning to include so-called women of loose morals and later women of the uneducated or lower classes. So as you can see the term has never been what you might call respectful. It is first cited in 1914. In these days of 'enlightened behaviour' the term is considered apropos and is fast falling into disuse. I understand that you were 'well meaning' and am using this to show how easy it is to offend when ppl are prone to take up an offense.  I don't do that because I live by Psalm 119:165 and so God's peace guards my heart and mind.  jt     On Tue, 7 Jun 2005 09:09:42 -0400 "Lance Muir" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: Jt says 'to each his own, everyone has their own type of humour - it's a cultural thing, Lance.' Therefore we may assume that profaning the 'sacred' matters not to her. So make fun of or desecrate the flag, the Scriptures or Mormon undergarments, ...all in that which one finds humorous....eh? Can I get an 'Amen' from all, Mormon and non-Mormon on this point by Judy? Try burning a Koran at a Mosque when the worshippers on walking in. Tell them it's just a 'cultural thingy'. From: Judy Taylor   To each his own; everyone has their own type of humor - it's a cultural thing Lance. Do you think it was ungodly for Elijah to mock the prophets of Baal at Mt. Carmel by telling them their god just might be sitting on the toilet?   On Tue, 7 Jun 2005 08:17:02 -0400 "Lance Muir" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: It's about as funny as it would be for you and your Jet-flying son to be present at a flag burning. It's about as funny as David or Kevin, while preaching at a 'sodomite' convention, to witness the desecration of the Holy Scriptures! Iz, these would be just 'downright funny'! From: ShieldsFamily Probably because it’s downright funny!   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Dave Hansen Street preachers just quote what it says.  Izzy DAVEH:  Then why do some feel the need to wave underwear? ShieldsFamily wrote: DaveH, There are TT'ers who get criticized for quoting what the Bible says by those who don't quote what it says, but replacewhat it says with their own ideas of what they think it should say--that's why they don't quote and don't like those who quote.  Street preachers just quote what it says.  Izzy     The Bible speaks for itself. DAVEH:    Are you sure about that, Izzy???  If so, why are there so many TTers wanting to speak in its behalf?   Hmmmmmm.......If the The Bible speaks for itself, then why do Street Preachers feel the need to proclaim it from the street?   -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Dave Hansen [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.langlitz.com ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ If you wish to receive things I find interesting, I maintain six email lists...
