My oldest is on a lot of “chats”. A user who called him/herself “Jesus Believer” stared a conversation with him. I’ve posted the attachment.

So he, my kid asks me why this user assumes that he’s having a hard time in school? I asked “well, did you post that you were?” “Fuck, no...like we talk about school!” “Well, I don’t know...but usually religious people “know” a lot of things”
We both chuckled and can hardly wait to see how smart he is today!

"So he, my kid asks me why this user assumes that he’s having a hard time in school?"
This is how Scientology gets its foot in the door, to make one doubt their own personal stability. Many years ago there was a huge Scientology building on a main street, and on a whim, I decided to pop in and take the "test" they offered for free.
I walked out 1/4 of the way through this "test" because it continually implied that my life was shaky, my thinking was muddy, my emotions out of control, so on and so on.
The idea is to plant the seed of doubt in a person, that they are somehow missing "something" in their life, and their brand of religion is what would make a person's life complete, full, and rewarding. They have all the answers, they will make you happy and prosperous.
There is a high probability that this "Jesus Believer" is throwing this crap out to many people, working on the same odds telemarketers and Nigerian princes work on, that eventually they will get a hit.
Sounds about right.
Forewarned is forearmed.
@David K. Re: Scientology Test
Saaaaay whaaaaaat?... They give a test? Oh, man! Wish I knew where I could go to take it. I would totally mess with their minds.... LMAO...
I'm guessing this chatter (much like psychics tend to do) simply chose some low hanging fruit to target to try and impress by making it look like he somehow knows things he "couldn't possibly" know (without some supernatural help or guidance, of course). Like a "healer" banking on someone in the audience having back pain, or a "psychic" guessing that someone has lost someone close to them. It's probably a good bet that a lot of kids feel (at least sometimes) that it is tough getting through school - and note he doesn't mention specifics - like a tough time with academics, or tough time with peers - he leaves it open, and again - it's just a safe bet that there is at least something many kids find tough about attending school - even if it is just that it's 6 hours long. It's obvious he's got nothing, and it just shooting in the dark, hoping to impress.
Yes. Funny how he didn’t include my son’s first wish in the narrative.
Whitefire13 please inform your son that the Abrahamic god does not help in enquiries such as his. I have already tried...In fact old Jealous has a troubling preference for making dicks shorter.
Hope his day at school is a good one.
He will be soooo disappointed :(
Same with boobs Grinseed, same with boobs.
@Whitfire13
"Same with boobs Grinseed, same with boobs"
REALLY?
Not me , I loved them all.
Looking at Playboy Photos of the 60's I concluded Americans had an infantile mammary fixation .All the models had enormous tits . At least the ones who bought Playboy. (Playboy also had articles ?)
From the time I first learned how to undo a bra strap from behind, I was never disappointed. Favourites? Certainly, but never met a pair of breasts I didn't want to kiss, at least.
Addendum: I was a child of the sixties. The time which saw the end of roll ons, the introduction of panty hose and of the contraceptive pill. Not that it did me any good you understand. The sexual revolution didn't hit Aunty Adelaide until 1980, by which time I was already chronically married. .
@Whitefire Re: Son's chat with Jesus dude
LMAO... That is hilarious! How old is your son? He has a great smartass attitude. I can truly appreciate that... *grin*...
Oh, fuck Tinman - he’s an absolute asshole! Love him to death and God, makes me laugh till I pee my pants! He just turned 17 ... 6’5” 240lbs. My youngest guy, 13 is also 6’5” but 185lbs. He’s my gentle giant. But he can be an asshole with NO FILTER - he’s shut my oldest down with ease. My middle guy is only 6’ 200 lbs, personality more like me...and I encourage his book smarts. I’m only 5’4” 110lbs. Honest to fuckin God, I did not have sex with angels!
@Whitefire
CRIKEY! You have a team of friggin' bouncers! Sounds like my wife's son. He is a hulking brute at around 6'4" maybe 250lbs. (+/-). Even her daughter is pushing 6', but has the body and looks of Daisy Duke... *chuckle*... And my wife is rather tiny like you. And both the son and daughter are tough as nails with a quick sarcastic wit. He is a fitter for an international company that builds oil rigs, and she works for a truck parts supply company. Oh, and my wife also works for a trucking company. So, for anybody who is easily offended, it is probably best to avoid being present whenever we all get together... lol...
@Tim-man
Sounds like my family, except that we have all been public servants. Coming from anti-authority, belligerent Irish stock more than makes up for it.
Whenever I attend a family function, I do my best to leave before first blood. When the Cranky family get together, everyone ( 'cept me) gets pissed and fights. It's also bloody boring being the only sober person in a room full of drunks.
Your family sounds as if they are worth bottling.
Sounds like you have a wonderful family that can “handle” you!
@Whitefire
Well, they certainly do not take any shit off of anybody. That's for DAMN sure!... LMAO...
@White
"Sounds like you have a wonderful family that can “handle” you!"
THAT is the first time I've ever known anyone to refer to my family as 'wonderful', But it's very nice that you think so.
My darling late mother called it 'managing' I called it "manipulation through emotional blackmail "
I tell you true, the Jews may have invented guilt, but it was the Catholics who made it an art form. :}
(((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((9))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
Today's tip; if you want to live forever, become arsehole, they never die. Just look at the death notices .How often have you read something like ; Fred Farnarckle died yesterday, he was 98. Fred was an old crunt and we're all glad he's dead.
@Whtefire13
That's one cool kid.
The nerve of that believer, not praying as asked. Not that it will make any difference, I tried the the same thing at 15. Nothing.
I have never believed that horse shit about size not mattering. I'm convinced that's a myth started by blokes insecure about the size of their willies.
----well OF COURSE sexual partners will say size doesn't matter. They are acutely aware of what delicate little flowers are mens' egos.
Perhaps best not mention that to your son just yet. .
Lol!!! It’s like the whole boob thing!!! Prayer didn’t work ... thank god science and medicine has been male dominated - boob jobs have been available since what, the ‘60s?!?!?
@Whitefire13
From a Steve Martin movie
He to young woman "Your breast feel strange"
Young Woman "Yeah; they're real"
Knew a woman who was a RN at an aged care facility. She told me of the pity/irony/humour in seeing wrinkly old ladies with the pert tits of an 18 year old.
Of course, with men, the sagging is a bit further south. Apart from the face and NECK (fuck!)
She looked down on his miniscule member.
Who In the hell do you think you are going to please with that?
He looked mildly offended but sniffed and confidently replied, "Me."
Lol Grinseed !!! Personally, I prefer smaller to bigger and our “penis” is on the outside. So as long as a man understands that, trust me, the inside doesn’t matter.
Yes, forewarned is forarmed (David).
I’ve allowed my kids to be exposed to about anything out there, the world. When they were little, and visited grandma and my sister, they’d take them to the Kingdom Hall.
I remember once, my boys decided to put on a stand up comedy show for me. My youngest was about 8 and it was his turn... he started with “Have you noticed Jehovah’s Weaknesses...” OMG I couldn’t stop laughing with his initial play-on-words.
UPDATE...
It didn’t work (the prayer)...in fact, it went the other way.
This kid finished up his pre-calculus and chemistry.
We’re starting in on speed (velocity not the drug) ... anyway basic formula shit.
For one of the equations, he had to convert metres into cm. Basic. His calc was way off and I look at one of his steps. He fuckin’ went the other way. So I’m like - how tall are you?!?! He tells me. So now tell me that in cm. He thinks and then tells me (he’s right)...then why the fuck are you only .0825 cm here?!?!?!? *pointing at mistake*
@Whitefire13
I strongly recommend this method.
@Nyar - thanks for being helpful. I watched it BUT this is how the conversation will go with my son.
“You want me to watch what...”
“It might help you with the conversation”
“Where’d you get that?” (I tell him from my boomer site)
“Do they think I’m retarded?!?!” (he’ll use that word cause apparently it doesn’t mean the same thing as it did in my day)
“Fuck...I make one mistake and you tell the whole world?!?!”
So, he knows the method. I know the method. I’ve explained the method. I’m going to get him to redo it pretending it’s his penis he’s measuring. Then he’ll remember!
His main focus right now is learning “Johnny be Good” on his electric guitar. Everything else in life is a useless distraction.
@Whitefire13
"His main focus right now is learning “Johnny be Good” on his electric guitar. Everything else in life is a useless distraction."
Outstanding!
Perhaps a smidge early to introduce him to Jimi Hendrix.
Are you shitting me?!?! Loves Jimi and AC/DC and Robert Johnson...
@Whitefire
"Loves Jimi and AC/DC and Robert Johnson."
Good for him! Can he play like Jimi or even Angus Young?
I'm a teensy bit prejudiced about Jimi, who I think was the greatest guitar player of all time.
Below a Youtube clip "WHY Jimi Hendrix IS the greatest guitar player of all time" . It gets well over my head. ( I do not play ) Your son might understand it, assuming he hasn't seen it.
"---" Jimi Pretty much invented hard rock----"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YY7gTjmX-sQ
Caveat; This post is very much tongue in cheek. I avoid arguments about the best, or comparison of artists, genres or products, including film and music . In brief ; I really like Jimi Hendrix, and have for over 50 years.
@Cranky -
He plays like Angus ... and he’s good (he plays others but I recognize AC/DC easier, I wasn’t into Jimi ) I didn’t ask him about Jimi and he’s learning some type of fast sliding playing thing - I don’t know. He plays his heart out and he’s good and I enjoy it, and he’ll tell me and I listen, but don’t remember it well (because it’s not my thing) - but it’s his and he loves it.
His fingers are like Jimi and Robert - long - and he told me he has some type of finger independence that allows him to play easier...
