The song “Twist and Shout” always comes to mind when I hear of CJ and the others doing their “twisting”…because, baby…they DO know how to ”twist so fine.”

“Well, shake it up, baby, now, (shake it up, baby)
Twist and shout. (twist and shout)”

“You know you twist so fine. (twist so fine)”

Okay, I’m leaving now.  (Kindred with the song in her head now, singing and dancing as she exits)…

“Well, shake it, shake it, shake it, baby, now. (shake it up baby)
Well, shake it, shake it, shake it, baby, now. (shake it up baby)
Well, shake it, shake it, shake it, baby, now. (shake it up baby)
Ahhhhhhhhhh(low) Ahhhhhhhhhh(higher) Ahhhhhhhhhh(higher) Ah!(high)”

CJ is a narcissist so I really don’t mind being an enemy of his faith.

There is a huge difference between my technical writing (have just had a paper peer-reviewed and in the process of being revised,) and my writing style when I’m writing on a discussion board and that is significantly different from my fiction.

The written word is a wonderful tool we have to not only communicate to our intended audience, it is also an artifact and testament to who we are that will reach out over  time to audiences beyond our imagination.

I hated my time in the Ivy League due in part to the fact that in my opinion my writing became crappier.  In other words, I partially lost my ability to communicate to my fellow Americans on a level where they may be most comfortable and gained my ability to communicate to the tiny little percent of Americans who are top professors and have their head up their own arrogant…. hats.  For the most part these are NOT the people I am called to reach.  (Thank the Lord, I would end up killing myself due to the boredom factor alone- though it was a professor who offered me Ecstasy- talk about a shocker.) 

So as far as I am concerned, anyone is welcome to post here, regardless of their comfort with spelling or grammar or any other fault we here see with their composition.  It has been proven time and again that people can still read what someone is writing as long as most of the letters are in a word.  I think it sucks that we make fun of someone for the way they communicate.  (No matter how offensive what they say is.)  What they have to say is what is important, not their ability to do so in a way that is academically acceptable. 

I am actually a grad student and was sending peer reviewed papers through the system and the best I can manage is a 16. I suspect 16 is its upper limit.

My tongue is firmly planted in my cheek just in case you are curious.

Home-schooled, eh?

Learn to engage others in conversation, not vitriol.

Good grammar and spelling also helps.

Are you saying that everyone on this site is lying?  How could you possibly know this? 

SGM leadership, have, for several years, referred to themselves as “The First Among Equals”.— ‘Primus inter pares’  (“first among equals”)  is a term created by and for the Roman Empire. This was the Emperors way of reducing the APPEARANCE of DICTATORSHIP.  How ironic that SGM leadership have so aptly titled themselves with a phrase which involves deception and camouflage!

The SGM pastors and leadership herald their ‘position’ of “watching over the souls” of Gods people —whilst manipulating, controling, and in some cases, wielding spiritual abuse, upon Gods people.
The Refuge unveils the smokescreens and dictatorship of SGM Polity.

For EVERY Blood-bought Believer in Jesus Christ:
“His divine power has granted to us everything pertaining to life and Godliness, through the true knowledge of Him Who called us by His own glory and excellence.” (IPeter 1:3)

His divine power far usurps the SGM primus inter pares!

Thank you for your thoughtful post. BTW, Timothy was around 40 years old when Paul wrote 1 Tim. I assume that “someone” as scholarly as yourself is aware of this.

I have no desire to write a novel, but I think that you should consider it. It’s rare to find someone with your communication skills.
