Bike Journal for dummies

[three]

There are countless companies and organizations whose founders (or administrators) are Christian (some even uber right-wing). Domino's Pizza, Wal-Mart, Taco Bell, and so on and so on.

There is really no way to walk through life without, at multiple moments each day, using a product or supporting a company that isn't in some way connected to political or religious leanings. So, unless those leanings equate to substantial (a.k.a: millions) dollar amounts towards things I morally disagree with - it's just something I've come to accept...and work towards being mindful of.

oh, i didn't mean it in a negative sense, just in relationship to the nickname, you know, BJ!

[Wahine]

I too have joined the "BJ group" or is that "Group BJ" ? Ok now this is just getting a leeeetttttle twisted.

Wahine...oh my goodness, thank you. I'm laughing so hard!! I needed that.

Hilarious.

[RoadRaven]

Oh Wahine... you bad bad girl...

And it would be too funny if BikeJournal's Christian origins were fundementalist... sorry, wicked sense of humour.

Seriously though, it never comes across as Christian... just as a bunch of enthusiastic cyclists. There have been a few interesting spiritual discussions, but none that resort to religious diatribe. I think the members are too diverse.



Raven tries to suppress a giggle as she re-reads what she has just written... members... BJ... too much... teeheehee...

I've been moderated there by referring to hell as in riding your bike all the way down to hell..
and for using the word Jackass when referring to a donkey.

Oh, me too!! For saying "we're in the middle of moving hell" (i.e. the hell of moving into a new apartment). I was told that "hell" is "ok as a noun, but not as an expletive", or something like that.

Which I found pretty funny.

But it's a great site, and for the effort they put into it they can moderate any way they like.

If you said "we're in the middle of moving hell" you DID use it as a noun!!!

I know.

[IFjane]

I know.

Warning: thread drift - lph, you changed your signature!

Coffcoff
I think that was me mentioning the diverse members...
And if you don't know I am not telling

Oh, and Jane...? The subject seems to be well in hand...


ROTFLMFAO

[OakLeaf]

Bachelor of Journalism degree?
Nope.

LMAO, at least we don't have to put B.J. in between our name and Ph.D.

[HillSlugger]

I wonder how many of the 258 hits on this thread were folks who were googling something else and got here by accident...

I must be really dense...what does "BJ" stand for in your world?!?

edit to add: I guess I should have read the rest of the posts and gone to Wikipedia before I posted this.

[Wahine]

Now, back to the subject at hand (get it??? hand .....that's if BJ is offline...):

I just snorted coffee up into my sinuses. Very painful but worth it.

Wahine - what are diverse members??.....

Well since you asked (even though this really is Raven's field of expertise)....

BJ members come...in all shapes and sizes. They also have very different backgrounds, some lean to the left and others to the right.... politically speaking of course.

So, if BJ is offline, but everything is in hand...do you use chamois butter or is there something better out there?

Ain't in my world... my team doesn't do those things. (sort of)
