Moderator Margee Posted December 1, 2011 Moderator Share Posted December 1, 2011 I have had a foul mouth for decades. It started when I was a fundamentalist. I got it from my work environment. Yet that work environment was one of the few that allowed me to go to Church five times a week and it had been picked out for me by a Word from the LORD given by a gen-u-wine prophet. I prayed for deliverance and it never came. I struggled with guilt and shame. I never understood why Jesus couldn't take my foul language away. It was very troubling. Recently I have learned of the theory that profanity helps humans cope with suffering and pain. ''Out of the same mouth comes blessing and cursing''.......... (James 3:10).......you sinner! Repent and be saved!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inqui Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 I'm back with my family for the summer, and just a couple of nights ago I went to get a beer with a friend. The first thing my mum asked was if I was going to get drunk, and when she began talking about the evils of drink driving and too much alcohol I found myself muttering "Oh good lord...." It's not something I want to get into the habit of around them. Before my descent into disbelief I began swearing a lot and I'd come to realise that 1) swearing wasn't such an offensive thing 2) it was actually kind of fun. I did say "Jesus tittyfucking Christ" a few times before I confirmed myself as a deconvert. I had kind of a fear of hellfire the first couple of times, but I think it was saying those words (I think I heard the phrase on South Park or Team America?) that helped me to make that final leap. That saying, NZ is usually a pretty liberal country so no-one really minds if you swear too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
