... Example go to any porn site and youll see plenty of selfies and about half of those are underage, might seem ok for them now but in a couple of years they could find themselves in blackmail type situations
You're encouraging us to go to PORNSITES? Really?

Shame on you! :p

Leon, this is the exact attitude I was detecting in your other post where I advised you to get into the Word, take your eyes off of the world, and start growing in your faith.

You clearly do not have the spiritual maturity to engage anyone regarding Christianity at this point. As they say in AA: Take the cotton out of your ears and put it in your mouth!

apparently he does...............just saying
Well unlike you I dont put my head in the sand and pretend that everythings OK in society.
And unlike you I am concerned that people debase themselves because they think its the only way that anyone will acknowledge their existence.

Almost a reasonable response..........however, you seem to believe you know all about me, and you do not...........

Broad brush condemnation of people that you have never even met is not a very Christian practice is it?

Tell you what..............I'll quit pestering you.........you quit with the condemning attitude and try to reflect more of the love of Christ in your comments...........deal?

Honest question.......why are you so angry?

don't want to step on anyone's toes here, but I thought maybe
elder PR could help me out - here's the problem PR,
when I'm in the bath tub (before the water gets to dirty)
and I can see my reflection, is it safe to assume that I'm
not narcissistically-selfieing myself??

on a scriptural note:

NUMBERS 33:52.
Then ye shall drive out all the inhabitants of the land from before you,
and destroy all their pictures, and destroy all their molten images,
and quite pluck down all their high places:

yes, anything can be taken to a level of evil, it's not the object,
but the relationship.

No, apparently you've done some 'research' on such sites. :rolleyes:

Yeah..well... the train for the land of sunshine, lollipops and rainbows has long departed.
All I was really looking for was ideas to improve what I had proposed and all I got was some inane comment about my AV.
If people want to fling crap I dont mind, but I'll hit you hard for it.
I aint worried about being 'popular'
No doubt, martyrize yourself, you alone are right and zealous for God, and everybody else is headed the wrong way. Seen that before show me something new... :yawns: :)
Basically everyone here agreed with you - it's beyond me how you dont see that? - that majorly selfies are narcissistic in nature, but people are just telling you the focus and attitude in that writing is wrong and should be on the gospel. And you are enraged for it... if you cannot accept feedback then just dont ask for it... or better yet... give yourself some grace and allow the possibility of not having it all done perfectly in the first shot.

I am not feeling the love in this first page of your leaflet. It is rambling all over the place and is giving off bad mo jo.
