    Aw, I can quit any time. I just have a little bit of a time management problem. Just because I laid out of church today and had my wife run the service....

    Systematic theology not fun? [​IMG]

    Hmm. Back to the drawing board.

    John of Japan: //I think I would start out by making him or her read
    through Strong's Systematic Theology as replacement therapy whenever
    he gets the urge to post--one page a day, including the small
    print (should take about an hour for a page).//

    Uh, ur, what if I type & post a page of Strong's
    Systematic Theology     each day -- wouldn't that
    PROVE i was hooked???

    Only if it was the 1611 Strong's Systematic Theology! :laugh:
    And then, I'm not for sure it would prove you are hooked.... although it would prove something!

    Hey John, do you do house visits!
    What a long way to go just to have you counsel me!
    I've got it, we can set up a counseling thread here on BB...

    No... wait... that would just feed my addiction!
    I know, we can start our own version of BB.

    Whoa, that's scary! I'm not sure that would actually be replacement therapy. In fact, it might send the patient completely around the bend! [​IMG]

    I'll do a house visit if you pay for it, brother! :thumbs:

    In the meantime, for Jay Adams style homework, find a blackboard and write on it 500 times, "I do not believe in the BB...." [​IMG]

    Hey, if I write "I do not believe in BB" in 500 posts that would increase my post count to what, 500 more posts? Hmmmm.

    You may be addicted to BB if you check it right before going to Sunday School!

    Yours is a much more difficult case than at first I imagined. We may need to check you into a CFNH (Computer Free Nut House) to cure you.

    That would not work for me because I DO believe, I DO believe, I DO believe in the BB. I really, really DO believe!:type:

    Can it be classed as an addiction if you just keep coming back to look at a thread without actually posting?

    Or is it only an addiction if you actually post?

    At the moment it says at the top, "this thread has 110 replies and has been viewed 1283 times"

    So are there addicts in denial? Too ashamed even to post?

    Hmm. Another hard case. Okay, try writing, "I believe in the BB less and less, kind of."

    John, it occurs to me we can up our post number and feed our addiction while our State-side brothers and sisters are in church...

    :wavey: :laugh:

    P.S. A sure sign of addiction is when you have a multitude of non-standard BB images to use in threads.

    Great outside-the-box thinking! Or is that "outside the country"?

    Now you've quit preaching and gone to meddling! [​IMG]

    What about us hard-core addicts who are late to Sunday School because we have to check it! :type:

    I'm not sure if I am addicted or if I am obsessive-compulsive......either way.....

    ........I need help! :tonofbricks:

    Is it a sign of addiction if when you get to church on Sunday mornings, members ask you what is going on on Baptistboard?
