Howdy and welcome to the Forum.

I have found that owning a flamethrower and knowing how to use it effectively helps a lot with such situations.
I'll stand in line behind you on the approaches to the pearly gates. Watch you try and shoot your way in!

What in the world?

I thought you were talking about girls that wouldn't leave a single guy alone. I'm not sure where getting into heaven factored into this.

I was. My reply drew a parallel to yours. Resorting to the use of a flamethrower to fend off unwanted attention, would be like trying to shoot your way in to life everlasting.

I was just acknowledging your light hearted humour with a little of my own.

Cool.

I have found it remarkably effective for some things though. Especially for fending off matchmakers. They have trouble making matches when their hair is on fire.

Word play aside, I was just offering an observation about a downside to being single, relating to ministration and the opposite sex.

When we're caring and obliging, as brothers and sisters should be, some single women (and men) can get their purposes crossed. The brother who wants to see his sisters all dressed in white at the marriage supper of the Lamb, can be misconstrued for wanting more.

Being married must help negate that quandary, a figurative flamethrower if you will.

Thanks for the welcome (y)

not often, when I was growing up I had to deal with bullies at school on a regular basis, by the time I was 8 I was starting to isolate from people and by the time I was 13 I was attempting suicide, when I started isolating myself I spent all my time watching tv or playing movies and unfortunately that habit has followed me into adulthood. Now I have been on ODSP for over 20 years and I can't afford to go any where and being 440lbs finding it harder and harder to find a job to get off the system.
Hello, Christian brothers! I am very surprised about your weight. I say this because I have never met or come into contact with anyone weighing up to 440 pounds in my real life! For your health, it is best to lose weight and achieve a healthy state, so that you will be more confident! Your life will also be full of vitality and beauty! This is just my suggestion. May God bless you!
