Maybe we(you?) are closer to the sour Mrs Rasmussen than to the happy Mrs White? It is foolish to make a hypothesis when one has no data. Quite the contrary. You make hypothesis in order to either validate or throw away the hypothesis through the gathering of appropriate data. It would, however, be foolish to make a theory without data.

21 I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain.

Since making fun of others is wrong, we must guard against it and the easiest way to do so is making sure we are not having fun at all.
This seems illustrated in this sentence that I copy from post 84180 in this thread. Some laughter is wrong so lets for heavens sake not laugh at all.
"She does not condemn innocent laughter, but there is laughter that she condemns. I posted a 5T quote where she says so. How do we tell one kind from the other?" You ascribe sentiments to me which are foreign to my thinking. Here you are drawing false conclusions from my statements, when I am here ready to clarify myself. You would do well to ask, rather than to assert. It might be foreign to your thinking, that is true. But unfortunately it wasnt foreign to your writing. And your writing is all I have to go by. What you choose to quote and how you choose to comment what you choose to quote. And may I add what you choose to leave out. I am no mind reader. Heavier than even Ellen (if the MR collection is in context) or the compilers (if it is a mere quote collection) would have it. ... We should strive to read the entire context of inspired counsel rather than settle for the crumbs that suit our personal fancy. If you can so easily misrepresent my intentions and sentiments, what makes you think you can draw valid conclusions from the works of prophets long dead? Instead of making yourself guilty of what you accuse me of, why dont you tell me what you make out of this context which I quoted into this thread. Thomas

It would, however, be foolish to make a theory without data. Theory or hypothesis the crucial fact is that you have no data.
By God's grace,
Arnold
There is no excuse for any one in taking the position that there is no more truth to be revealed, and that all our expositions of Scripture are without an error. The fact that certain doctrines have been held as truth for many years by our people, is not a proof that our ideas are infallible. Age will not make error into truth, and truth can afford to be fair. No true doctrine will lose anything by close investigation. RH 12/20/1892

I provided backup data for everything except that which you think but have not put in print in this thread. Everything else was provided with either quotes from the bible or Ellens writings. You have thus far choosen to ingnore everything that I have provided data for and concentrated on that which I cannot provide data on, ie the sentiments you appear to have but are fully free to deny. Under such circumstances, there appears to be no reason to continue this between you and I.

Guys,
This is really sad u see. The whole mindset and to think "hmm, should I laugh or not, is it a sin to laugh" is draconian thinking to say the least.
If you find humor and laugh at those offensive jokes that make fun of starving people, then you know that is really bad.
If you laugh at something someone you know did, or what you did, or something similar, who cares. Seriously, I mean get a grip!
God Bless,
Will

Christ said this Himself:
Luke 6:21 Blessed are ye that hunger now: for ye shall be filled. Blessed are ye that weep now: for ye shall laugh.

The back-and-forth between Vastergotland and Asygo has made me laugh! Oops, I hope that wasn't sinful.

RLW,
I guess it boils down to what type, or kind, of laugh you laughed.
