It has the effect of getting a reasonable, thought out, (usually that is) response. And if it is not responded to in kind or at all, well, then you can see, without having to say, who is the "lesser" in this particular exchange. And then don't spoil that by saying so... <BR/><BR/>IOW, begin with the idea that you understand where they are coming from, if you do, give what you agree with, and THEN, talk of what you felt was where they went off track, or what you don't understand. Then give what you believe would be the conclusion of the matter if corrected, and say that otherwsie you aren't on the same page but perhaps could be if convinced otherwise by Scripture and conscience.<BR/><BR/>Yes, this will take more time, but it will set a higher standard, if I can say that word.

Do you think that (insert name of disciple) would have spoken with such jest toward fellow believers whom were expressing honest concern? I can't help but feel uneasy about how those speaking in jest are representing our Father and our Savior. And the worst part...it hasn't ended...we are still indirectly poking fun. All I'm trying to say is, aren't we supposed to be looking out for one another instead of getting our feelings hurt so easily? Fine...so a pic might not be obscene to your eyes...but you shouldn't force that upon others...and neither should they upon you.
