Now Naomi, you are not completely ugly.

You have never seen the Fremont Twins. They are ugly. Though being conjoined face to anus is not pretty no matter how you think about it. You just do not know where one part ends and the other part begins. :blech:

My avatar was taken the day I got the Kenworth - 'Ole Blue Ox'. I was nearly as proud as the day my son told me he was ready to be Baptized after being washed in lambs blood of his sins.

I can be seen in my classic portrait pose or here I am in another shot.http://www.landoverbaptist.net/custo...epic3914_4.gif

I like that one. Why don't you use it instead of that old black and white photo you had taken after that tent revival years back?

It makes you look younger, brother Bathfire. Honest!

I've a horrible feeling Aaron is going to wear out his paddle soon on that one.

Re: Our policy on avatars
 

I've got avatars turned off.

When I was a heathen wretch I used to feel miserable all the time, although I would pretend to smile or even paint my face golden all over and prance around pretending to dance, or pretending to have fun.

But I wasn't.

When did you give your life to Jesus Mrs Portway?

Re: Our policy on avatars
 

Uhm, I think about two months before I married Aaron. My Mom and Dad said I had to be saved before I could get married. Wait, you know what, it was more like right before I married Aaron, cuz it was right after spring break for my friends who were in public school, and they're going to start highschool in just a few days. So let me think, 4 1/2 months ago is when I got saved by Jesus.

The sun shone. A young woman was walking in the park. Suddenly a vile harpy screeched down from her crag and hurled the young woman into a lake. She struggled but the harpy was sinewy and strong smelling. The world seemed to fade away, then just before she drowned the harpy was snatched away and the young woman bobbed to the surface gasping,

"Air.. air.."

That young woman was not saved. There was something more important to her than Jesus. Air. All she could think of at that moment was air. If you'd asked her when she was Saved she'd have had to think about it do you know anyone like that Mrs Portway.

The Christian has been saved from death and torture FOREVER.
That is so overwhelming an experience that everything else is in the instant of Salvation reduced to nothing. When drowning the young Christian woman has only one thought: Jesus.

Song of Solomon 8:7 Many waters cannot quench love, neither can the floods drown it: if a man would give all the substance of his house for love, it would utterly be contemned.

You're freaking me out Mitza.

I Peter 2:9 But yee are a chosen generation, a royall Priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people, that yee should shewe forth the praises of him, who hath called you out of darknes into his marueilous light:

Salvation is about being chosen. The moment of conversion is a spectacular transition from cloying darkness into magnificent light. The converted seek only to praise Him.

Psalm 9:2 I will bee glad and reioyce in thee: I will sing prayse to thy name, O thou most High.

Not everyone has been chosen: Matthew 22:14 and we know we've been Saved when we see God's Perfect Love in everything we do. I find that so exciting I want to shout it to the highest mountains! How forlorn the heathen. Unconverted, wallowing in darkness, as good as dead. God explains why it is so:

Psalm 9:5 Thou hast rebuked the heathen, thou hast destroyed the wicked; thou hast put out their name for euer and euer.

That is reflected in their choice of avatar. I know this isn't about goths but the way they elect to represent themselves is a good example. They have not been chosen.

At the other end of the spectrum there are Christian posters such as Mr Deaner whose choices depict the joy and vitality we know in Him. I'm sure neither of us intend any sort of LSD flashback or other demonic episode from our submissions.

You just made me cry. Three tears (two on the right; one on the left). Very sweet heartfelt tears. Thanks Mitza.

Re: Our policy on avatars
 

I don't use my actual photo because I am the bastard son of a bastard and a Mexican mongrel and I'm not handsome at all and when I see my own face looking back at me it makes me weep and even though the LORD GOD thinks I am pretty on the inside I am very gross on the outside due to my befouled bloodline.

I am sorry I look the way I do, and I thank you all so much for letting me take part in this Godly forum, as I cannot go into the church because children do not need to see such things, and I am a bastard, and I only have one testicle.

Deuteronomy 23:1-2~ He that is wounded in the stones, or hath his privy member cut off, shall not enter into the congregation of the Lord.
A bastard shall not enter into the congregation of the Lord; even to his tenth generation shall he not enter into the congregation of the Lord.

I picked this picture because this is the only doggy that I have met that hasn't bitten me and that makes me happy that I was not bitten that day, that was a wonderful day, Praise God!

Re: Our policy on avatars
 

I didn't want to use my real picture but my idiot son who set up this account for me did it anyway. Now I get recognized all the time which is very annoying.

Re: Our policy on avatars
 

I love showing off my True American© face to everyone. My gene pool is certainly one consisting only of the Caucasian upper class, which has remained uncontaminated by ethnics from Jesus to my father to the good looking young buck you see in front of you today.

Re: Our policy on avatars
 

My avatar is a dog that died. It was my fault. See, I used to be a hot mess girl, hanging out in the clubs drinking Bacardi. I was a sick pervert too, abusing my body with all kinds of "devices" like dildos and cellphones.

Well, one time I woke up in my bed, covered in vomit and other stuff I don't want to mention. When tried to stand up, I had a pain inside me. I felt down there and discovered a huge dildo. I pulled it out and threw it out my bedroom window. Well, that poor dog ran up to and bit that dildo.


Right away, he started throwing up. He just kept barfing and barfing, then he died. I keep him as my avatar to remind me of what a bad person I used to be.

Re: Our policy on avatars
 

And this choice of a cute doggie as your avatar is to reflect your story? How's about a bunch of crack addicts abusing you; (umm... with cellphones?? What do you do, cram a bunch up your cooter and then get everybody to dial their numbers??).

Re: Our policy on avatars
 

Can you bark for us?

Re: Our policy on avatars
 

That's ok Cranky; we know you as a good person and we're glad to have you here.

Welcome my upper class friend. Would you happen to have a C-Note for Jesus?
