That's awful dude. I hope thats a very twisted joke I'm just not getting
He's been trolling me for the last few weeks. Most of it is irrelevant i.e. I don't have pets neither would they live that long.

As for leaving the planet faster. Good! I can escape from him faster too hehehe

It wasn't a joke. You know how this planet is, with the Crisis in Ukraine/Syria and all.

........This is the only time I have replied to one of your posts ever since Juliana and I debated about the relationship between faith and works in the "And your denomination is...?" thread.

Not correct. There was a thread where you said I look strange and look like a con man. Then proceeded to say my looks could get my family food. Heads up: I don't have a family nor any pets. That was a few weeks ago.

Ah, I think I remember that! I apologize for my rashness; growing from adolescence into adulthood can get pretty messy​, if you mean what I meeean.

Well that was rather rude despite your excuse. The comments in this thread I'd put down to warped sense of humour.

I feel that you would be tempted to slap/punch me if we were face to face, so lets just drop it.

#2 was an honest apology, I just made the mistake of inserting a joke in it.

I'm sorry sir. Lets forget about this.

There is a greater amount of compassion we have when we are able to relate to people on a deeper level. As singles, we relate to other singles on a foundational level and can lean on each other in ways our married friends cannot do for us. The reverse is also true. When my married guy friends talk to me about issues with their wives, I can be there for them but not have the same point of reference as I do for my single friends. At this time in my life, I am able to use my singleness more to really reach out to my single friends in a way I simply can't with my married friends.

When I do get married, the reverse will happen. I will develop a point of reference for my married friends and be able to fellowship with them and support them in a way I can't currently. So my singleness is a gift right now that I can utilize to reach some people, and my marriage will be a gift that will allow me to reach others. Each allows me to serve Christ in a different manner.

As much as I'd like to be close to a lady, I'd like God's will be done even more. He's knows best how to realize my maximum potential in this brief lifespan. It's not a bitter pill for me any more. I remember how I felt when my mother passed away. I wanted to die also, but, as with the old song, He brought me out of the miry clay and put a song in my heart to stay.

I like women very much. I would very much like to have many single female friends, but if you are all dead set on getting married, then I am a waste of your time. In a strange way, I'm glad some of you single ladies never got married. I know this sounds selfish, but, fact is, if you were married I would not be talking with you right now. I'm glad I am talking with you right now because I want to tell you that you are really awesome, wonderful, and beautiful human beings and I'm glad to be making the trip and sharing the ride with you.
