Discourse on "discourse"

Did ya ever wonder why the prefix "dis" seems to reverse the word it preceeds?

An advantage becomes a disadvantage.

A functional item becomes dysfunctional.

And alas, a course that is supposed to help us all learn more about the Bible, actually is called a discourse.

Maybe that's half of our problem.

Isn't the english language a funny thing...?

Just a fun thought that came to me. Maybe it was the Holy Spirit....but we won't go there...

Hummm, is that a compliment?

I'll take it as one!

It's just some of these postings are HUGE man! I don't know about the rest of ya, but when I see those, I just skip on by.

Life's way to short to sit at this computer for 18 hours just reading "discourses"...Hahaha.

Yes, they are huge. Go to ChristianChat.com and you will see some of her hugest yet, along with me and a few other members proving her wild theories wrong.

I could do without all the discourses also.
No one wants to read that much onesided scripture that's not true anyway. Every one else is wrong! Ciber, You might run out of space! Ha!
