Leslie, how do you feel about the opening crying intro that you had for China?

^ She has mentioned before that she had already predicted that that's what they would show, I think.
BTW, Leslie (no more theology from me!), I HATED what they did to your hair at the Reunion (ditto Sherea's and Courtney's). It looks a lot better with some curl, and frankly, I really liked the ponytail look while you were "on the island". Did y'all have any say on your hairstyles, or was it more "sit here and shut up"? One more question I haven't been able to get answered from anyone else: I read many seasons ago that Survivors are not allowed to watch the show (when airing) with anyone except perhaps a small family group, the reason being that you, too, are seeing things you didn't know about (confessionals, the other camp) and you might blurt out something that would give away info to others watching? Is this true--is there any rule about watching the show when it airs "in public" or with crowds? Thx |

I think she's been mildly attacked and is merely defending her beliefs. Kudos to her for that. And I think she's got some balls to do it here of all places. To each his own. With that said.... PRAISE BE TO JONATHAN CHRIST!!! |

it's her beliefs? No. The point is, her beliefs are discriminatory and she is downright WRONG. There is a wrong and right in this situation and the
wrong is LESLIE.

Gibson, I think you're missing Leslie's point. Her views of the Bible state that homosexuality was deemed a sin by her god, and therefore in her
beliefs the beef is between the individual and their god. Not her, for she said flat out that she is not without sin as well. I think you're stereotyping
some of the more radical Christians out there that are quick to condemn others as if they are without sin themselves.
Pagong's correct in that her friendship with Todd alone speaks volumes that she can separate what her god says is a sin and who is qualified to judge said sin. She stated that is her belief that her god alone was the sole judge, not her. And if you're talking about what is fundamental right versus wrong, there is no clear cut definition that works for everyone on every issue. While you may call someone out for discrimination, in a completely different part of the word you would be chastised for at least one of your own behaviors that the majority of virtuous people in our society would call normal/healthy. As with everything in life, there is no true black and white on the complexities in life. From what I can gather from Leslie, she's a decent individual that has found personal inner strength in something to believe in. Nothing more, nothing less. |

Second, one can not separate his/her God's beliefs from his/her own beliefs. Doing so would be completely hypocritical...but hypocrites are what all
Christians are all about so I guess it's not that far off. Just b/c Leslie says she doesn't judge, doesn't mean she isn't
judging/discriminating...her world revolves around religion and her god's beliefs are her beliefs and they can not be separated...therefore...she's
just as bad and just as discriminatory.
I'm surprised Todd hasn't come onto the boards into this thread and put in some of his own light. C'mon Todd, be the strong person you are,
let's stick up for homosexual rights and prove it's inherently moral!
"And if you're talking about what is fundamental right versus wrong, there is no clear cut definition that works for everyone on every issue." hahahahahahahah...so it's ok to discrimination against Blacks...they're all going to hell. Leslie might be a good person, but she is incredibly ignorant and her beliefs are WRONG. |

Gibson, I don't see eye to eye with Leslie and her faith. I've talked with her about that, I believe she knows my perspective. All I am saying is that
I may not agree with everything she believes in, I don't have a problem having a conversation with her since she's not out on a soap box trying to
change my own views. I'm far from kissing her ass in any sense. I don't ever get star struck because of fame or job title, one has to earn my respect,
it's not given out just because of notoriety or position of presumed authority. Leslie did that when she made "I" statements to back up her
beliefs through her faith in scripture. Where as I detest any sort of blanketed judgments based on the lunacy of a book, I can at least respect her dedication
to her faith and ability to back it up without a personal attack. Yes the Bible is full of contradictions about judgmental elements, part of why I can't
find strength within any aspect of it's teachings. But the inconsistencies are only a part of what someone like Leslie would seem to garner from the book.
My assumptions are that she finds peace in the fact that some being is looking out for her, and is there for guidance. This is what I mean when I said that she
has found personal strength through her faith. Something with which I am not able to do myself, I find strength personally in knowing that I control my destiny
through determination and the amount of effort I put forth, and what happens happens. Not necessarily that it 'happens for a reason' dictated by a
powerful being. But that we live in a chaotic and unpredictable world.
I could continue, but I at least hope this illustrates my point a bit better. |
