TWO NEGATIVES THAT CAN'T MAKE A POSITIVE
Forget what they taught you in math, 2 negatives do not always make a positive. Negative 1: During class today at church (we teach 4 year olds) Dee Ice told the children that they were all very cute. One little girl sitting next to me said in a very serious voice, "I'm not." I said, "Oh, yes you are, you are very cute." And she was. She said, "No, I'm not cute. My mom told me I'm not cute, and I know I'm not cute, because she is always mean to me." She's FOUR YEARS OLD. Does that make your heart hurt like it did mine? Negative 2: We had a visiting speaker today in church, and his main message was being kind to everyone. Then I think some of his personal opinions began to take over. He closed his talk out by saying no one should ever say these 3 words the way many people do now: Really, seriously, and whatever. He said if you ever asked Jesus Christ to do something for you, He would never respond with "Really?", so we shouldn't either. Really, Mr. Speaker? You found that in gospel doctrine? Seriously, it seems to me that personal opinions ought to be left out of Church sermons. He said if you use these 3 terms, you are not really a good person. Whatever. (And when I had this discussion after church with Dee Ice, he said, "Well, in your case he left out one more. He forgot "hmmm".) My name is Inklings. I'm a good person, and I use these three words: really, seriously, and whatever. And I plan to avoid anyone who thinks I'm not a good person if I do. :0)

Wow, and knowing who he probably was, (church-wise), I'm surprised that he didn't remember the number one thing about speaking, which is that you teach the gospel of Christ. Weird....
I'm sorry. I agree. Whatever is an immature and pouty word. Really is an annoying word that is condescending an seriously is the same. It might not be church doctrine, but maybe it should be. I hate it when people say Jose three words too. They are so obnoxious to hear.
It's still an opinion. Not church doctrine. It shouldn't be preached over a pulpit.
You're right. It is an opinion. I just agree with his opinion. Those words are my pet peeves to hear. I'm. It saying I'm never said them. I'm saying they're immature and rude.
Well, I really can't believe he would seriously think that it was so important that he include that in his "spiritual" talk, but whatever. :0)
