Greetings from afar

[Cathayian_Doomsayer]

Greetings to all of you,

I am a young man who for reasons of economics and seeking challenge decided to travel in my youth to see what impact I could make on the world. I live and work in Beijing, China as a consultant. I came here several years ago to learn Mandarin Chinese, since it is said that it is the most difficult language to master, I in my pride decided to give it a try. I am still here, several years later. Mastery of any worthwhile subject takes mountains of time.

However, for me it is rewarding to see American Capitalism find root even here.

I am no saint, nor however am I seeking to harm anyone. I am simply trying to go about my life in the proper manner, adhering to the precepts and principals which made our ancestors so wise.

I stumbled upon your site some time ago, it took me some time to understand your purpose.

I am interested in an exchange of ideas, especially as they relate to biblical principals and history. I am not particularly interested in a bunch of threats of hell and poorly thought out rational for why my choice to live in China is a reason to be sent there.

Jesus has long been a hero of mine, and while I would classify myself as a Deist, there are no Churches which suit my taste here, nothing in English, unless you count the Catholics.

Jesus taught peace, something which I want to carry forth and expound through the conduit of deed.

Thank you for reading. Hopefully it was not tl;dr

What's your favorite Bible verse, friend? When did you first realize the glory and majesty of Our Lord Jesus Christ?

Yours in Christ,

Friend, I've read through your introduction several times here, and you're going to have to help me out, because I feel no closer to knowing where you go to church, how many children your husband has sired upon you, or what your favorite Bible verse is.

Matthew 7:3
"And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?"

Hi Catheryn, welcome to God's friendliest website!

What Bible verse really sets you on fire for The Lord? My top three are in my sig. I would encourage every newbie to put their fave verse in their sig: it's a real ice breaker, you know?

Yours in Christ.

I am a man, who has not yet married.

Please see my above post for my favorite verse.

I have yet to find a church which is in English and is not Catholic within Beijing. However whilst I lived in the U.S. I attended the Lake Tahoe Prespretarian Ministry.

Why aren't you married? You're not a queer are you?

Re: Greetings from afar

Oh man, you were in the clutches of Presbyterians? Did they teach you any weird rituals or nutty beliefs?

Yes, there were some odd beliefs. I had a bit of a falling out with the Pastor at that Church during my college years, and began attending a youth ministry which was non-denominational.

Why aren't you married? You're not a queer are you?

I am 23 years old, I have not married yet because I feel I still have some time before I should settle down and think about children. I first need to develop a career. I am straight.

Well that's good to know. I've heard the chinamen will fornicate with anything that moves, so watch your 6 while you're ministering to them over there.

What kind of hunting do you enjoy?

Well hunting is a sport that I cannot enjoy here, because its city as far as you can see and there is no gun rights.

In the U.S. I've always enjoyed Elk hunting, but I've never bagged no 5 point bucks, and my uncle took me to try to hunt a Caribou in Alaska when I was 16.

When you were in Alaska hunting caribou, were you afraid that you might fall out of the helicopter just as you were about to harvest something? Did you have sex with any of the Palins? Your "hunting story" also sends shivers straight down this home schooled Christians spine! You might as well have just come right out and admitted that you were sexually abused when you stated that an 'uncle' took you, a minor, across state lines and into the deep woods, alone together!

Many of us here have also been sodomised by our uncles, so if you need a sympathetic shoulder to cry on, we're here to listen to the details of you so-called 'hunting' trip. Were you still a virgin, you know, before the 'hunting' trip? YIC

Re: Greetings from afar

I love Matthew 7:5. It shows really clearly what we need to do before judging people. So now we have removed the beam from our own eyes and are free of sin it's all systems go!

Speak for yourself, bub!

I clearly said "many", meaning probably in the high ninety percent range have been anally raped, so that means either you are in one of two categorys, one, denial, or two still a virgin, which puts you at very high risk at family get-to-gethers. As we are all aware of, homers like nothing better than a pure, unmolested virgin to violently jackhammer. As far as I remember, I am probably also in the tiny percentage with you, but my mind is somewhat cloudy about several nights where I had a bit too much rohypnol at a party on Fire Island.
