Interesting poster

I initially thought that the message from your friend was about the 'International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia and Transphobia' which apparently today is.

But I notice that the leaflet is from a church, although the colours a similar.

I still have no idea what Biphobia is though.

I think it’s something to do with kitchen extension folding doors to the garden, and not liking them.🤪😄

I want some.

I really want some.

You can hide the rubbish 🙂

I’m glad I don’t do FB. Too much schmaltzy nonsense. Upticks and likes I believe. Not for me.

Ah your DP sounds lovely.

Well, he is, but it really meant we were sick of seeing an open fridge on its side fighting the giant dandelions for space in the tiny front garden.😄

Oh I think I have moaned about it on here before Oreo. They bought the house following my lovely neighbours death. It stood empty for a year after they bought it. They then proceeded to spend 18 months and counting renovating it whilst living elsewhere, this included a skip and piles of rubble in the front and damage to our back garden. So I ignore them. I am sure they dont care but makes me happy.

There’s a house not far from where I live that’s in a similar state, so have every sympathy with you.There’s rubble and even an old broken toilet and washbasin perched on it.It’s been like that for ages, think the owners may be doing it up very slowly at weekends.Encourages rats! My own street isn’t all that salubrious mind you as there’s a couple of rented houses that seems to change tenants a lot, with weed filled gardens and once even an old fridge that sat there for two months.Eventually DP offered to take it away for them in his van which he did, not that they were grateful.

I can barely tolerate my neighbours.

In that case love does not mean affection, trust, sexual desire, companionship, or toleration.

Love in the sense of love thy neighbour is common to almost all the great religions and means doing no harm, plus ordinary human kindness when you get the chance. Love thy neighbour may also mean putting your neighbour before yourself some times , within reason

Oh thankyou maddy that's a nice thing to say.

That sounds most unlike you Galaxy, so if you’re not speaking to them, they must have behaved badly.

Yes thank you Callistemon exactly what I meant.

Or trying to stir and dodge a bullet at the same time.

One wonders why the sender felt the need to forward something so preachy. Of course "neighbour" is a metaphor for any old Tom, Dick or Hatry and encompasses that tired old cliche "be kind" modern talk for don't argue with my pov. I think I'd be inclined to respond to the "without exception" so do you extend that to Putin, Kim Jong? It's message is idealistic load of pie in the sky drivel and a subliminal put up with any old crap behaviour in a subservient and unquestioning manner.

Why does anyone post anything on here?
It seems to me there is an overabundance of drivel on this site but everyone has a right to their opinion with out being called subservient and unquestioning.

As I read it, I don't think Terribull meant the poster, she meant the friend who sent it in the first place to Ladyleftfieldlover

LLFL didn't pass a comment and wasn't preaching at us so was probably asking for our opinions.

These memes are always going round on Facebook etc. Sometimes they make you 😁, sometimes 🤮

This is 🙃

I am not speaking to my neighbours and they havent moved in yet. I feel I should get some sort of award.

Oooh, that sounds interesting🤭tell us more.

Well, unless someone has done something to you, personally, then at least maybe try some empathy, if not love.

And forgiveness is supposed to be good for you, if you've been wronged.

It's a tall order though.

Yes, agree.
I’m not sure I can ever forgive my ex SiL for what he has done to my daughter and grandchildren.

Nothing eazybee.

Other than it doesnt play into the op's prejudices quite as well.

What is wrong with Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself?

Rather more memorable.

This is the radical and unequivocal call to arms of Christianity and so many reject because it is so hard.

However, some people seem to be misinterpreting both what neighbour and love mean.

Your neighbour means anyone, friend or stranger. Simply any other human, all created equal in God's sight.

Love doesn't mean condoning crime, being a doormat or not standing up for yourself.

Another quote from same Bible also says, 'Love your neighbour as yourself.'

Without recognising your own dignity and need to love yourself, how can you possibly love others?

This.
