I think the only difference between jive and ebonics is about 30 years.

Kinda like... ebonics would be the politicaly correct term for jive? My first encounter of " jive" was as I watched in France " Airport" in English and there is a scene where two basket ball players speak in " jive" ( subtitled in English).

I voted for the "no talking" rule. If gawd can make up (and sometimes take back) random rules about celibacy before marriage, eating pigs, snakes eating dust, etc., a "no talking" rule to terrorize the inhabitants of heaven would seem to follow quite logically.

Fenton misquoting me again. Tsk tsk. Are you sure you don't have dyslexia or something Fenton? Try reading from left to right next time.

You're lucky God has such strict free will rules. In your case, he might open the earth again.

Now I'm gonna have to pray for you again Fenton. It took 3 days of prayer and fasting before you got that Jesus loved you. Getting you to quote me correctly, oh boy....I may not make it.

Again? When did I misquote you before?
And I didn`t even do it this time. Did you see any quotation marks? It was a joke.

Again? When did god "open the Earth" the first time and exactly where on the planet did this take place? Did it leave a mark? I`d really like to see this.

Fasting? I know how much you want to look good for me,but there are safer ways to take off those extra pounds.
But seriously,I don`t think me misquoting you is a serious enough problem to get out your prayer clothe.

Btw,
Did you vote in my poll?

No I didn't, but the last is pretty close.

Of course I've spoken in tongues spontaneously, so I don't worry much about these little problems.
