Its fellowship WEEK at TOL!!!!!

[Nathon Detroit]

It has begun! THE FIRST ANNUAL TOL FELLOWSHIP/FRIENDSHIP WEEK

OK, here we go! Starting now and lasting until Sunday April27th we are going to have the FIRST annual TOL friendship/fellowship week!

For one whole week we are going to discourage debate and ENCOURGE saying nice friendly (civil) things to each other.

No topics are out of bounds as long as your "nice" to each other.

Hopefully we will do this once a year every year for an entire week.

TheologyOnLine is the ONE Christian site on the internet that encourges spirited debate and even down right "in your face" arguing. However, for ONE WEEK we are going to take a break and be nice to each other. This doesn't mean you have to accept some perverted world view or idiotic logic, it just means you need to find a more creative way of responding in which you are more "loving" or more "civil".

After the fellowship week is over, it's business as usual: mocking, rebuke, debate, arguing etc can come back in all their glory.

I'm feeling ill already.

 

[Zakath]

Aww, don't be sick. There's still room for Christian curmudgeons at the table...

Have another slice of sweet bread while I dip you up more love-one-another lasagna, and this iced tea is sweetened with saccharine...

A nice break?

A nice break?

Yay Knight, great idea, but I'm kinda cynical as to whether it will work.

 

[Poly]

I think it's working great.

 

[Em7add11]

Eat your vegetables and hug your mom.

 

[Goose]

I've already kinda held back from going all out on some posts. I dont like this. At all.

Warning, warning! Devils Advocate comment ahead! (I apologize, but I just can't resist saying this. Please forgive me!)

WWJD? Was Jesus "nice" to the Pharisees, and Sadducees?

Oh boy, this means it's time for the annal post of "National Brotherhood Week" by Tom Lehrer...
(music is here)

I'm sure we all agree that we ought to love one another, and I know there are people in the world who do not love their fellow human beings, and I hate people like that! Here's a song about National Brotherhood Week...

Oh, the white folks hate the black folks,
And the black folks hate the white folks;
To hate all but the right folks
Is an old established rule.

But during National Brotherhood Week,
National Brotherhood Week,
Lena Horne and Sheriff Clark are dancing cheek to cheek.
It's fun to eulogize
The people you despise
As long as you don't let 'em in your school.

Oh, the poor folks hate the rich folks,
And the rich folks hate the poor folks.
All of my folks hate all of your folks,
It's American as apple pie.

But during National Brotherhood Week,
National Brotherhood Week,
New Yorkers love the Puerto Ricans 'cause it's very chic.
Step up and shake the hand
Of someone you can't stand,
You can tolerate him if you try!

Oh, the Protestants hate the Catholics
And the Catholics hate the Protestants,
And the Hindus hate the Moslems,
And everybody hates the Jews.

But during National Brotherhood Week,
National Brotherhood Week,
It's National Everyone-Smile-At-One-Another-Hood Week.
Be nice to people who
Are inferior to you.
It's only for a week, so have no fear;
Be grateful that it doesn't last all year!

by Tom Lehrer

===============================

I just looked at Knight's original post and realized that Turbo pulled a fast one on me... well enjoy Lerher's song, at least until Crytahvn comes in and starts making comments about Jewish entertainers... :chuckle:

 

[Turbo]

Gotcha! :chuckle:

I was just trying to get people in the spirit of the season.

 

[Zakath]

That's the purpose of the song, you know. To go with the spirit of the season.

:vomit:

Y'all have to keep reminding Knight?

 

[LightSon]

Didn't Tom Lehrer have a song about the boys scouts "being prepared".

"Be prepared to hold your liquor pretty well.
don't write naughty words on walls, if you can't spell."

That's all I can remember.

Oh, and by the way Zak, ....... a-hem........ I love you man...... hug?
