I once threw a telephone booth at another guy. I was a bit rambunctious in my youth.

No. Phone booths go with Superman not He-Man. He-Man uses his sword to change persona.

Ok,
I am going to share my biggie.
My heart was much more on fire for the Lord Jesus Christ for a number of years until a little over 2 years ago. I was ablaze with love for Him.
My love has waned the past few years. I could use excuses, but I will not.
By God's tender-mercies, love and grace He is beginning to light that fire again.
I feel compelled to share a verse here because I have been thinking about it alot: maybe it is just for me...but, somehow, I don't feel my revelation is mine alone....
Unto the angel of the church of Ephesus write; These things saith he that holdeth the seven stars in his right hand, who walketh in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks;
I know thy works, and thy labour, and thy patience, and how thou canst not bear them which are evil: and thou hast tried them which say they are apostles, and are not, and hast found them liars:
And hast borne, and hast patience, and for my name's sake hast laboured, and hast not fainted.
Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love.
Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent.
Revelation 2:1-5

So who would win in a fight? Superman or He-Man?

Supe. Not even close. His telescopic vision would see He-man coming from a hundred miles away and Supe's heat vision would either melt the sword and fry him on the spot or his super breath would blow him onto the next continent.
Unless He-man got ahold of some green kryptonite........

Swimsuits... thank you for not hanging out.
A few years ago we were at Lauderdale-by-the-Sea. There is a boardwalk area with a nice restaurant. A lot of young people hang out there, and I do mean 'hang out'. We were walking into the restaurant and there was a girl with a perfect body laying on a towel, right beside the boardwalk, on her tummy, wearing a thong.
My wife commented, "that should be illegal". Well...I thought she was saying it should be illegal to look like that. (There is a difference between the way women and men think I reckon.) So she explained it to me... DOH!
I pretty much stay away from the beach, especially those beaches where young people go.

I would not even dare to share what my girlfriend and I used to do at the beach at the Pacific Coast, aside from feasting on strips at Newport Beach.
I mean, it really was not that bad, just made both of us laugh alot. It was when we would be swimming in the ocean and go under a wave, coming up without our tops on because the waves were so strong.
But, we were both unsaved at that time so please have mercy on us....

i like a lot of things in church. back biting, criticism, anger,and rumors are out of place. i get excited when i read the bible. i am a believer. religion covers too much territory. JESUS is the only way. no exceptions.
to think otherwise would rob you of JESUS'S hope, peace, and tranquility
i believe the FATHER'S WILL is always perfect for you. i believe the HOLY SPIRIT is essential in a believer's walk. the HOLY SPIRIT sets my feet a dancing.

So, these are shocking revelations, eh? Well, that's really kinda sad. And not real. This is real:
I have been paid for sex by one man. The other 49 were freebies.
I am a recovered, not recovering, alcoholic.
I used every drug known to man in the 1970's.
I was beaten up by a gay man.
I tried three times to kill myself, 35 years ago, and was placed in a psychiatric hospital, where I learned how to smoke three packs a day.
I was, and still am, an unwed mother. With five grandchildren.
However...
Jesus died for me. He did that so that I might be able to sit on the lap of my heavenly Father, completely pure and redeemed. And He wants me to stay there, head in the crook of His neck, trusting Him with every hurt in my heart.
And finally, I don't think much of what has been in this thread is at all shocking. I think most of it is pretty much, and I can't think of a less abrasive word for it, of a cop out. I get that it is mostly fun and all that, but is it real? Or is that kinda scary?

Ldychef2k,
Did you see all of the title... Shocking Christian Revelations?
It was meant to be semi fun and centered around what we Christians do that may shock or suprise other Christians not what we did before getting saved.

Although I think it's foolish to think about summer and heat right now with this stubborn chilly snowy winter which does not seem to be over even though springtime is just around the corner. Isn't that funny???
