1. Take a piece of paper and crumple it up, stomp on it and really mess it up, but don’t rip it.
2. Unfold the paper, smooth it out and look how scarred and dirty it is.
3. Now tell the piece of paper you are sorry and try really hard to make the paper look like it did before you abused it.
4. Notice that no matter how hard you try, you can’t undo the damage of the abuse, no matter how hard you flatten out the creased paper.
This is what homosexuality does to your spirit. No matter how hard you try to fix what you have done to your body, the scar still remain on your soul and Jesus can not forgive you for that. So before you fold and crumple your body with gay sin docking creases, remember that you can try and pretend it never happened and might be able to tell everyone you are sorry, the fact is, those marks of sin will never go away.
This is an activity that you do to show children how bullying affects people. We’ve done this activity every year at church camp.
They stole it from us.
No they didn’t. This activity has been around since the 70’s. You copied and pasted it from somewhere, then added awful writing to it.
I’ve been teaching this since the 60’s.
He was doing it before it was cool!
No you haven’t. Judging by your profile picture, you’re in your 40’s.
So, Captain, what you are saying is he is a Crumpled Paper exercise hipster?
Pretty much. Except the crumpled paper exercise doesn’t have anything to do with being a hipster.
hey dip s***they are making fun of gays right now, not hipsters, stop getting your stories messed up.
They’re doing it wrong.
Hey, here is an example from a Jewish folk story about slander and gossip:
In a small town somewhere in Eastern Europe lived a nice man with a nasty problem: he talked too much about other people. He could not help himself. Whenever he heard a story about somebody he knew, and sometimes about somebody he did not know, he just had to tell it to his friends. Since he was in business, he heard quite a lot of rumors and stories. He loved the attention he got, and was delighted when they laughed because of the way he told his “anecdotes,” which he sometimes embellished with little details he invented to make them funnier and juicier. Other than that, he was really a pleasant, goodhearted man.
He kind of knew it was wrong, but . . . it was too tempting, and in any case, most of what he told had really happened, didn’t it? Many of his stories were just innocent and entertaining, weren’t they?
One day he found out something really weird (but true) about another businessman in town. Of course he felt compelled to share what he knew with his colleagues, who told it to their friends, who told it to people they knew, who told it to their wives, who spoke with their friends and their neighbors. It went around town, till the unhappy businessman who was the main character in the story heard it. He ran to the rabbi of the town, and wailed and complained that he was ruined! Nobody would like to deal with him after this. His good name and his reputation were gone with the wind.
Now this rabbi knew his customers, so to speak, and he decided to summon the man who loved to tell stories. If he was not the one who started them, he might at least know who did.
When the nice man with the nasty problem heard from the rabbi how devastated his colleague was, he felt truly sorry. He honestly had not considered it such a big deal to tell this story, because it was true; the rabbi could check it out if he wanted. The rabbi sighed.
“True, not true, that really makes no difference! You just cannot tell stories about people. This is all lashon hara, slander, and it’s like murder—you kill a person’s reputation.” He said a lot more, and the man who started the rumor now felt really bad and sorry. “What can I do to make it undone?” he sobbed. “I will do anything you say!”
The rabbi looked at him. “Do you have any feather pillows in your house?” “Rabbi, I am not poor; I have a whole bunch of them. But what do you want me to do, sell them?”
“No, just bring me one.”
The man was mystified, but he returned a bit later to the rabbi’s study with a nice fluffy pillow under his arm. The rabbi opened the window and handed him a knife. “Cut it open!”
“But Rabbi, here in your study? It will make a mess!”
“Do as I say!”
And the man cut the pillow. A cloud of feathers came out. They landed on the chairs and on the bookcase, on the clock, on the cat which jumped after them. They floated over the table and into the teacups, on the rabbi and on the man with the knife, and a lot of them flew out of the window in a big swirling, whirling trail.
The rabbi waited ten minutes. Then he ordered the man: “Now bring me back all the feathers, and stuff them back in your pillow. All of them, mind you. Not one may be missing!”
The man stared at the rabbi in disbelief. “That is impossible, Rabbi. The ones here is the room I might get, most of them, but the ones that few out of the window are gone. Rabbi, I can’t do that, you know it!”
“Yes,” said the rabbi and nodded gravely, “that is how it is: once a rumor, a gossipy story, a ‘secret,’ leaves your mouth, you do not know where it ends up. It flies on the wings of the wind, and you can never get it back!”
You think about homosexuals way too much to not be gay.
Now this is an example I can use. Thanks!
It’s great that you’re going to teach kids not to bully others, because that’s what this lesson is for.
“I’m an emo. I dress like a freak and get pissy when people tell me I look like a dumb @$$.”
oh shut the f*** up, kid
This is awesome and so true. Being gay is unforgivable.
This is an anti-bullying lesson.
Bullying makes kids strong. The King of England pushed America around and look how good we turned out
Then why do so many kids end their lives because of bullying?
Stupid people end their lives for all kinds of reasons.
I think you’ll find that a lot of the “victims of bullying” that end their life are either openly or closet homosexual.
It’s not the bullying that causes them to kill themselves, but the fact that they cannot live with the gay sins that they have committed.
Nope. Pheobe Prince killed herself because of bullying. My best friend killed himself because of bullying. A boy in the town a few miles from where I lived because of bullying. Teens end their lives because kids are cruel.
while i believe suicide is a cowards way out. bullying does have to be stopped but not homosexuals why? you may ask its because bullying has a ripple effect while being gay doesnt have any real effect to anyone besides that person
Gee, I don’t know — perhaps we should ask your Charles Darwin about survival of the fittest. Personally, I think it’s because they haven’t been saved. Bullies have no power over the Holy Spirit.
August, die in a fucking fire. There’s a fucking line I draw, even with shit like this. You fucking passed it. Fuck off.
Your a terrible human being.
Shame on you.
Why do you people only talk about gay bullying? Fat kids and nerds aren’t humans in your eyes?
I’m just saying bullying in general. Everyone’s a human in my eyes. everyone’s equal in my eyes.
hey tyson stfu you said that if a person isnt a jock then they arent equal. just wait till those people are signing the paychecks of most of your “jocks”
Is it harsh to say i hope you burn in hell?
Nope! Chuck Testa!!! Now stop making fun of Gays cause it is proven that you can’t help being gay. Its a gene in your body… o wait doesn’t god create everything? so he must have created the gay gene. hmmm well i just fucked your logic. Now stop picking on little kids shows and gays and Gtfo the internet cause you don’t even have a right to call yourselves sons of god.
sincerely,
MLP Rocks
Tyson, you’ve all made fun of fat people and nerds before, the statement about no bullying in general should be obvious, but nope! You insist on insulting people and acting like scum!
Wait…. So god will forgive murderers but not homosexuals?
DON’T PUT YOUR OWN BIGOTRY IN AND CLAIM THAT ITS GODS!
ALL OF HUMANITY IS SINNERS! WE ALL SIN EVERY DAY!
Remember the whole Jesus dying on the cross for our sins thing? Yeah that happened. And believe me, its a far worse sin to condemn and judge someone than it is to be homosexual. The people that are filled with hatred for homosexuals are the real sinners. You are the sinner sir, you have judged others, where it is not your place to do so. Treat everyone with kindness and respect. All bigots and homophobes should really start praying for forgiveness.
Keep your nose in your own business and let others live the life they choose to, its up to god whether they will get to heaven, NOT YOU.
I will definitely be using this next time I student teach my class of first graders!
It’s great to teach children to to be mean to others. This is an anti-bullying lesson after all.
Anti-bullying lesson? No I don’t think I need to use that. This is a hands-on activity to educate about your eternal soul.
It’s actually an anti bullying activity for kids. Tyson just changed it and made a mockery of it.
So it can’t be used for any other purpose?
No. It’s specifically designed for bullying. If you use it for anything else, it could give the kids a wrong idea.
damn, this chick must have eye shadow poisoning or something. Are cracker kids really this damned stupid now?
You’re right other Nellie, crumpling a piece of paper for any reason other than a silly anti-billying activity is dangerous indeed. Why, what if one of your hipster friends swallowed the crumpled piece of paper and choked on it? That would be awful
Yes, I once read where someone was injured and they needed something to make a tourniquet. Someone offered up a shoelace but the doctor said “no, it’s specifically designed for shoes, if you use it for something else it could give the kids the wrong message.”
Other things that should not be done because it’s not the intent:
Please don’t give aspirin to people thinking they might have a heart attack.
Don’t use Kleenex to pick up dead bugs.
Don’t use soda water to remove stains from clothing.
@MN, I am Mexican.
@August, This activity is one of the few things that must be used as it is intended to be
Then unless your class is sunday school, you may have a very distressing notice from your boss coming.
So your paper?
Then let’s BURN THE HEATHEN. BURN HIM TO THE GROUND. And yes, Ty, I am talking about you.
Direct threat?
I think so.
It does sound like it.
Wow, man, cant you take a joke? Its like the witch hunts in here. You know, from Monty Python and the Holy Grail?
Typical punk. Make a threat and when called on it, say it was a joke. It’s a tactic exclusive to the far left in the country.
It’n not a direct threat. It was not said directly to you. He made a comment to another person saying it.
True. I never said I was talking TO Ty, only that I was talking ABOUT him.
“And yes, Ty, I am talking about you.”
Exactly. He said ABOUT,not TO.
Well I’m banned right now.
And how many has this site made? Hmm I think more then enough I wonder if anyone should make some reports.
you cryin
Wow that was dumb.
Yes, Claire, they really are. It is hard doing this all day without getting a headache. Some how I manage, but only just.
I think the problem is that you do this all day. Get a job, hippie!
Right on, Jew fro you need a hobby!
or a girlfriend
I’m pretty sure he has a girlfriend. She comments on here sometimes.
NO, U!

wtf???
to answer the quetsion In Number 4
make the paper wet and wait to lets it dry its won’t be crumpled Long
Gay People are GROSS…unless they are hot lesbians!
I have a few guy friends that are gay, and they are really nice. I agree with you about the girls.
So if what Tyson said is true, that means that Prissy isn’t a Christian. Oh, and that apparently the entire idea of Jesus forgiving others is impossible, which means that if you sin, you’re fucked, which means Tyson and his piece of shit friends are hell-bound.
You are an extremely hateful person.
I just realized I get to pull rank on you!

MLP Rocks & Gays are awesome!
A gene? Prove this claim please.
You all teeter between it being a genetic condition or not, it all depends on what the hell you’re shitting out of your mouth at the time.
It’s not necessarily a gene, but usually it does have something with hormonal imbalances, which can involve genes.
I was about to ask for proof as well. It is DEFININITELY NOT PROVEN
Proof that God exist and we will Talk after and when I mean by proof we talk about a Physical One show us GOD
oh wait you can’t
the burden of prove is on you my friend to show me that GOD doesn’t exist!
Not really. People who wrote the bible had no clue what would or wouldn’t give them brain damage, so current critics of religion are probably the more reliable source.
Well, you do know that Vatican clergy admit to the bible being made up, right? They admit that they wrote the bible.
So God gave us free will, but we can’t use it how we want to?
how did i even end up on this site?
This was quite compelling and informative. My kids are going to get the crumpled paper lesson tomorrow. And I think a little used TP will drive the point about anal play home.
So telling us that Jesus can never forgive you is supposed to make people become Christians? I believe that Jesus forgives ALL sins if you allow him in your heart. Jesus loves EVERYONE regardless of gender, race, sexual orientation, religion, or national origin. He loves A female, mixed, lesbian, Russian, Communist, Atheist, prostitute (Your worst fears rolled up in one) just as much as you and me because he created all of us.
