Beta....Beta....Beta....Beta....
Come on everyone, lets get our Tuesday Beta hopes up again so they can be dashed to pieces in the morning!
Signed, Phil..forever the optimistic pessimist.

Yes, but the majority text adds. "Therefore look forward with great anticipation unto that wonderful day."

The majority text is an abomination and you must be smited (smoted? smated?) for making reference to it.

Smitten actually. The Smitten is a direct result of sin figured thus...Chris Roberts said:The majority text is an abomination and you must be smited (smoted? smated?) for making reference to it.
The smitten is in fact a sort of glove to be slipped upon the hand (owing to the etymological similarity of the word "mitten" ) We may conclude then that the S in smitten is a reference to "Southpaw" which is a southern American term for the left hand - thus the smitten is a left handed mitten.
Furthermore the alternative hand is the right hand - therefore by process of consideration we may conclude that if there is a "right" hand, there is also a "wrong" hand. So now you can see that the wrong hand is in fact the left or southpaw hand. A smitten therefore is worn upon the wrong hand as a sign to cover up the wrongness of it and thus it is an attempt to bring about repentance because it is after all awfully hard to type with a mitten on.
But if there were no wrong hand, there would be no smitten. Smitten therefore is judgement for sin.

Does Rosie know this? I believe forum guidelines prohibit jokes about the world's most persecuted minority—lefties [:@]
However, all kinds of jokes, insults, put-downs, etc are proper and applauded when applied to halo wearing puppies. (Pugs are off-limits). [:D]

Oh yeah! I remember Lahaye and Jenkins wrote a book about making lefties ride in the back of the bus - I think it was a series titled "Left behind" or something like that.Jack Caviness said:the world's most persecuted minority—lefties

How does a southpaw halo wearing puppy fit into your equation? Of course, for a puppy one must refer to southpaws. And do the south paws refer to the rear paws or the left paws?

LOL. Yes it was quite the spiritual book. It theologically proved the spiritual superiority of lefties based upon the principle of the first being last and the last first.

which entered English as "sinister" and clearly shows the historical
understanding of the link between left-handedness and evil motives.It's thereby a wonder that we are not all left-handed. A lefty needs to view his state as a reminder of his depravity (Paul's thorn was likely his leftyness. No wonder he needed an amanuensis.) My right-handedness is an undeserved mercy--as is each new beta.

Right-handedness is a form of grace, known as mostly-common grace, which occupies the midpoint between common grace and special grace.

An Untutored Savage Silences a Man of Science
Years ago a great Frenchman of science was crossing the Arabian desert under the leadership of an Arab guide. When the sun was setting in the west, the guide spread his praying-rug down upon the ground and began to pray. When he had finished the man of science stood looking at him with scorn, and asked him what he was doing. He said, “I am praying.” “Praying! praying to whom?” “To Allah, to God.” The man of science said, “Did you ever see God?” “No.” “Did you ever hear God?” “No.” “Did you ever put out your hand and touch God or feel God?” “No.” “Then you are a great fool to believe in a God you never saw, a God you never heard, a God you never put out your hand and touched.” The Arab guide said nothing. They retired for the night, rose early the next morning, and a little before sunrise they went out from the tent. The man of science said to the Arab guide, “There was a camel round this tent last night.” With a peculiar look in his eye, the Arab said, “Did you see the camel?” “No.” “Did you hear the camel?” “No.” “Did you put out your hand and touch the camel?” “No.” “Well, you are a strange man of science to believe in a camel you never saw, a camel you never heard, a camel you never put out your hands and touched.” “Oh, but,” said the other, “here are his footprints all around the tent.” Just then the sun was rising in all its oriental splendour, and with a graceful wave of his barbaric hand, the guide said, “Behold the footprints of the Creator, and know that there is a God.” I think the untutored savage had the best of the argument.

Now I will have to pick on someone else. Having read a few post further down the thread, perhaps I can hatch a sinister plot against Todd—and his partner in lefty-bashing.
Logos needs to release a Beta soon. This bunch is getting very silly.

I heard a similar story years ago that featured an Amish gentleman and a skeptic. In that story, the retort began "Hast thou seen thy brain?" You can probably finish that one for yourself. [8-|]

No, it was a book about why the Arabs don't use their left hands for eating. [:$]
Actually, in the Bible lefties are not sinister. They have a military advantage. Judges 3:15-23; Judges 20:16. So you lefty-bashers had better be careful or we lefties will sling stones at your hairs and not miss. [;)]

GAMBLING
“In gaming there is a secret witchery. A man will play a little, and only venture a small sum; but soon he is wormed in, and more and more entangled; and so men think it is no great matter to sin a little, and yet that little leadeth on to more.”
The illustration is most forcible. Many persons have put down a piece of silver on the gaming-table when passing through the room, and from that moment their ruin has been sealed. They will be seen from day to day staking their hundreds, till the last fatal roll of the ball leaves them penniless. For the while gamblers live, and move, and have their being in the game: their eyes are quick, and their brains are sharp, to see each turn of the play: they are the willing, abject slaves of what is called amusement. Thus doth sin begin with littles, and glide into more serious faults; till the sinner is spellbound, and finds himself engrossed with folly, which he has no will to leave. Be it ours to give no place to the devil. Let him not have a spot whereon to set up his enchantment and work his diabolical arts. If we never venture a farthing upon Satan’s table, we shall never be made beggars by his devices. If he is not allowed to spin a spider’s web about us, he will never be able to hold us with the cords of iniquity. If we never wade into sin we shall never drown in it. Lord, keep us from the appearance of evil.

Ha! I did that too (not for as long, though). I used to practice writing with my right hand just in case I ever broke my left hand or something. I got to the point where it was legible, but still my hand would get tired more easily than my natural writing hand, and it always did feel somewhat awkward.
Both my mother and my grandmother were naturally left-handed as well. However, my grandmother went to school in the era where they wouldn't let you remain left-handed, so she had adapted and wrote with her right hand. But she was also a painter, and she painted with her left hand since nobody was holding a ruler over her knuckles when she did that!

Mine is almost barely legible no matter which hand I use. [:D] I type with both hands though. [:D]

I also would use my right hand for such a task in case the dragon bit, or breathed fire. That way, the damage would be to a less valuable body part. [8-|]
