In your same post you are contradicting yourself. In the first part you say you would be embarrassed for me and then in the second you say that I am embarrassing the people. Really no one should be embarrassed, the reality is I am called to serve as Christ did by laying down my life to help others. This is symbolized in the washing of the feet and most profoundly in the Eucharist. It is with the smallest brushes that the artist paints the most exquisitely beautiful pictures. ( |

In the first part I said you're boasting your humility. In the second part I said the people you use for your boast should find it quite embarrassing. I fail to see any contradiction. Donald Trump is a one-term LOSER |

No it does not. You want to be in your proper place, do it every day. Stepping down from your arrogant lofty perch, deigning to lower yourself to washing feet once in awhile, is the embodiment of condescension. Of course the person having his feet washed is embarrassed, that's the POINT of doing it. He's embarrassed because the priest is light years above him in the religion, and this is how the priest drives home that point. It's why I would not be embarrassed at all, and would be embarrassed for YOU. I don't consider you above me in any fashion, in fact I think you're making a huge mistake by wasting your life in such a profession. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

rxwine Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 189 Posts: 18777 | Maybe it was originally a foot fetish? Of course, then it would just be creepy. Stranger wanting to touch your foot on false pretenses is what would make it creepy. Again, I don't care about someone's fetish when it's consenting adults. You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really? |

Good one. Think how much the pope himself would fetch in donatives if he were to wash cars for charity ;) Donald Trump is a one-term LOSER |

I do much more than wash people's feet every single day. It is with the smallest brushes that the artist paints the most exquisitely beautiful pictures. ( |

You put yourself in a place of subjugation every day? How so? If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |
