My mouth propped open, my dentist today describes Fundy wedding to assistant.

[DemoTex]

1. There are beautiful and/or glowing brides. She was beautiful and glowing. It was a Christian glow.

Urp, I think.

2. After the service the bride and groom came back down and led their mothers out by the hand. That was such a Godly moment!

Urp-barf, I feel.


3. The bride had a ring with a big diamond and two rows of 13 small diamonds, for a total of 26 .. do you know what that stands for? It's a Christian thing that a girl like you understands. The 26 small diamonds are for the years she kept her virginity for her husband!

EMESIS BASIN PLEEEZE! Hurrrrrrl!

[hedgehog]

1. My ring has a small aquamarine as a sign that neither of us thought

it was proper to spend money we didn't have on a diamond!

[OffWithTheirHeads]

2. eschew Jack daniels

[sandnsea]

3. Tell me you're not in Oregon yet

I swear I'd have choked to death and I'm not sure whether it would have been from laughter or horror.

:crazy:

[DemoTex]

11. Oh hell no! I'm still in BoJo-Land.

Greenville, SC., home of Bob Jones "University." I leave for Oregon on 5/12 or so.

[SurfingScientist]

17. I learned the other day that Bob Jones Univ.'s acronym is...

... BJU. :evilgrin:

19. Depending on what part of Oregon you're heading to

you're pretty likely to enjoy it, most people generally keep their religion to themselves. A fish on the back of a car is about the only visible sign you might see if you settle in a place along the I-5 corridor.

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

4. I think I much prefer my dentist

He's a liberal, Jewish vegetarian. I only know those things though because I went to school with his kids.

[SurfingScientist]

16. Luckily, my little brother is a dentist...

... a fantastic one at that, and fixes my teeth for free because I took much time to help him with math and physics at the University... plus: he tells raunchy jokes instead of fundie BS . Actually, if he does that while my mouth is propped open, that can be cruel!!! :)

[MADem]

5. If he's a good dentist, you need to bring a walkman...er, iPod.

If he isn't that hot, you need to get a new dentist.

[MedleyMisty]

6. How many diamonds are on the guy's ring?

Was he expected to keep his virginity?

[nomorenomore08]

13. Optional. Recommended but not required. I think that's how "they" view male virginity.

:P

[Johonny]

18. I believe men must have 1 diamond per

wife left on death bed for younger women

[Soylent Brice]

28. your response is a perfect example why i read everyone else's first,

as to not duplicate replies.

it's like you're reading my mind.

spot on.

[saged52]

7. I switched dentists

after my last one had on faux news and declared there really wasn't a recession; this declaration after selling his land to a new mining company for millions -

[Not Me]

10. I too, switched dentists

over two years ago when I found that my dentist and his wife had signed the petition to put Amendment 2 (officially putting discrimination into the Florida Consitution). Courtesy of www.knowthyneighbor.org

And we wrote him a letter espressing our strong feelings.

[TXDemGal]

8. WTF? I think what you endured is grounds

for firing your dentist. Surely there must be a non-fundie dentist within driving distance of your home? For your sake, I hope so!!

[tammywammy]

9. Wow, I just get a chair massage and watch tv

Invest in an Ipod or get a new dentist

[Tangerine LaBamba]

12. My dentist is an Italian-American female,

just like me.

We play tricks on the other patients.

We gossip.

We hide in her office and eat chocolate cake.

We've both been married more than once.

When she opened her new offices, I sent her a five pound box of Hershey's chocolates. She sent me a very proper thank-you note and a hand-written certificate for a free cleaning.

We've gotten drunk and followed a cute guy in his car all the way to Target, where we made fools of ourselves trying to find that basketful of cute kitties singing Xmas carols.

And next time I see her, I'm going to hug her extra hard and tell her about your dentist .......................

[customerserviceguy]

20. My dentist is a Korean-American woman

and she thinks my dentist jokes are funny. Me: Why so sad, Dr. Han? Her: I'm not sad, what makes you think that? Me: Well, every time I see you, you're always looking down in the mouth!

Corny, yes, but we get along well together. She especially likes it when I put my money where my mouth is! (yeah, she thought that was funny, too...)

[southerncrone]

14. I'd change dentists.

It's one thing to hold religious values, be they Christian or other. But to indirectly force them on your customers is unacceptable. When they are left with only their fellow Fundies as customers, they will soon see that it's difficult to pay the bills.

I rebuke Fundies at every turn I can, I refuse to fund their religion. By doing business with them I feel I'm "supporting" their cause. The less $ they have, the less their churches will have.....thats my philosophy of it.

Unfortunately I'm forced to work with a number of them. But I NEVER talk religion with them. If they bring it up, I find an excuse to leave the conversation.

Sorry you had to endure this torture!

[silverojo]

22. Definitely dump this idiot!

You have the right to ensure that your hard-earned cash doesn't line the pockets of a Fundie freak.

Also, good dentists don't prop people's mouths open anymore--that went out with using the rubber dam for fillings and root canals. Not only is he behind the times in his beliefs, he's also behind the times in dental techniques, LOL.

For the record...I'll just BET the bride was a virgin. Every female religious nut I ever knew treated her body like a sexual convenience store. I went to a Catholic high school, and I was the only teen virgin left by graduation day....

[baldguy]

15. WWJD? He wouldn't spend money on any damn diamonds.

[alphafemale]

34. Yeah. This would be a great time for a Jesus Facepalm pic if I had one.

Yeah. Jesus loved the exploitation of the poor and wasting money on glittery rocks.

[Extend a Hand]

21. I have a great dentist

back when I had a small restaurant, I couldn't afford to do dental insurance, but my dentist made a deal with me to do dental work for our full-time employees (some who had never been to a dentist before). He gave me the insurance company negotiated discount and let me pay half cash and half gift certificates. When we had to close he wouldn't even take payment for the gift certificates he hadn't used. Plus he and his wife are both very gentle.

[Toucano]

23. She should have held out until she was 52.

She'd have gotten even more DIAMONDS!!!

God is great.

[Holly_Hobby]

24. LMAO!

Diamonds are nothing more than compressed carbon. The diamond industry is shameful.

[TexasObserver]

25. And he would bang the assistant if she would let him.

Godly, my ass!

The more they talk about godliness, the less godly they are.

[a la izquierda]

26. Oh jeez. My dentists are okay.

They have TVs and let me watch whatever...and talk to me about my tattoos/what I study, etc. Small talk. But I could easily have your experience, living in Oklahoma. I think I'd have grabbed the drilled and put out my eardrums in your situation...

[Vinca]

27. Well all I can say is . . . DARN!

If I had known diamonds were involved I might have made an attempt to save myself for marriage. :rofl:

[XemaSab]

32. Keep this guy

That's theater there. :D

[and-justice-for-all]

33. No shit?? that is the same thing that happened to me on Monday!!

The tech was babbling on about here big gown and here church this and church that...blah blah blah. Then, while she was doing my fillings, she asked what I was doing for Easter..Uh, I gotta work I said.

I would have told here I was an Atheist, but considering she was working on my teeth, I did not want to go there.

[CreekDog]

35. but she's 37 years old!!!

:wtf: :hide:
