Haha! The cussing puppy! My dog actually makes an "Ffffff" sound when she doesn't like something. That is her F word! lol I do agree that a lot of "when to say what" is based on the culture, the situation, the people you are around. Communication is for others, so we wouldn't want to be offensive, but we also want to be authentic and relatable. I agree that we should not want to upset our own conscience. That applies to so many things in general! I think there is way too much focus on the accepted rules, the dos and the don'ts, especially among Christians. The truth is we are all in a refining process. I think Yahweh is more concerned about our heart than anything. If we submit to His refining process, things that need to be stripped away, will be. I grew up around fishermen, so I was surrounded by cussing! It is just like normal talk in some cultures. Words have their meanings based on what those who are communicating assign to those words. I rarely cuss anymore, mainly because I started to notice when I said certain words it kind of pulled my energy down. But that is just where I am at personally and it wasn't that much of a downward pull. What really pulls my energy down is when I find myself saying something critical or even just thinking poorly about someone else. That zaps my energy immediately! So, I am extremely careful about not slipping into judgmental attitudes! So obviously I am not judging people when they cuss! LOL. Thank you for doing these awesome videos, Joshua and Kimb! Have a great Thanksgiving!
