    1. 1. YOU DID NOT RECOGNIZE MY BEING FIRST-NESS.
      2. Of COURSE “SEX WEEK” was your favorite. You make perverted comments all over the place, and sadly, *I* am often the target. SIGH.
      3. Good thing I am your oldest friend. I am so senile, that I forget the perverted things of which you accuse me.
      4. That good enough? 😉

  1. The only one of these I remember is “Gossip that isn’t about me.” I’ll have to look into the others, they all look interesting. 😆

  2. I also like the one upping one. (I forget what it was called though) But someone will remember it. “You hand out tracts? Well, *I* am going to Africa to some God-forsaken place to teach villagers how to be pastors…” Something like that, of course not exactly. If I remembered it exactly I probably could have found it.

  3. My favorite of those above is the Rabbit Trail Preaching post. I even said so in the comments. I’m glad it made the list.

  4. Fundy Sex week was . . . memorable. Be sure no food or beverages are near your computer should you attempt to read any of the posts or “interesting” comment threads. The comments about certain items puchased with other theoretically innocuous items still make me laugh.

  5. I’m late but I’m surprised that “Expectations” did not make it. That was poignant and painful.

  6. I read all of these except for the A Beka one. I don’t know what A Beka is so I didn’t bother reading.

    Contradiction, Moral Confusion, and Self-Realization were the set of posts that week that finally drew me out of the lurker zone. It was scary putting all of my doubts into words, because writing them down for an audience of 100+ comments made my doubts official and real. It was also scary diving into the big leagues amongst so many comments that were so much more insightful and funny than anything I had to say. But everyone was so kind and friendly so it was ok. 🙂 Once I started writing, I couldn’t stop.

    1. Wow. I never even thought before I posted the first time. I guess if I had I probably never would have posted at all. Now I am all self-conscious. 😯

      1. Well, I was still in fundy church at the time. And I’m used to following blogs with audiences that are, shall we say, more critical when anyone writes anything wrong. Plus, I don’t usually comment on the blogs I follow. In fact, this is the only blog I comment on regularly.
