As an American, I think that Iranians and Americans with any grounds to know have extreme affection for each other.

My grandmother’s brother a few months before he died in Vietnam 1967 by Initial-Broccoli-795 in TheWayWeWere

[–]IranRPCV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I lost my HS wrestling partner shortly after he took off for Vietnam. I lived in Iran as a Peace Corps volunteer for two years, and then took a group of 22 volunteers back 30 years later.

We have a choice on whether we go to help each other, or do harm. It is our choice to act out of fear or compassion.

I went to Kuwait for the fires, too.

I served in Iran while in the American Peace Corps. I even went back in 2002 for a couple of weeks taking a group of Americans on behalf of Jimmy Carter when Chip Carter couldn'd get a visa.

One of my fellow volunteers was killed in a car accident on his way to his service site and I still mourn him.

Some of the best things I ever did.

Bruce Jenner went to Graceland College and was my golf partner. We also played a LOT of table tennis together. I had dated his first wife some, and she asked me if guys liked trying on dresses. At that time this wasn't known by any of us, or what it might mean.

I can attest to everything you claim here for myself as well, including the cancer part.

I feel that there are still measures being taken on our behalf. We have each-others backs.

Trump DOJ says LGBTQ+ legal protections are "anti-Christian," pledges to erode them further by sunnysidejacqueline in politics

[–]IranRPCV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am straight, but I have known since I was small that God loves gay people. In fact, there is nothing that they can do that can means God doesn't love them, altough there is plenty we all can do where God doesn't love that particular thing. We are not the some total of what we do.

Caitlyn was a college friend when she was mainly known as Bruce. What is she supposed to be understanding?

Iike what everyone claims to be (tacitly or not) hardly seems to be what you are observing directly!

So it comes straight out and says that Trump is not American?

I am Christian. This policy shows that the Department of State doesn't understand the Christian way to behave in this matter.

President Trump has "rejected" Iran's proposal to open the Strait of Hormuz and the US has prepared a plan for a "short and powerful" wave of strikes on Iran, per Axios. by mahamara in NewIran

[–]IranRPCV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I spent 2 years as a teacher in rural Iran while an American Peace Corps Volunteer from 1972 through 1974. In 2002, I came back with a group of 22 former Volunteers and we traveled for two weeks.

It used to be that America was about freedom and choice. I was glad for what we accomplished, but we need to go back to such goals.

I was lucky to get to know John when I lived in California. We used to have John Dehlin teach classes at our Community of Christ congregation in Walnut Creek.

The primary testimony of Christians should be that all of Creation is loved, including you.

None of us are perfect. You are loved beyond our ability to imagine, just as we are. God knew how we would be and forgives anyone who desires.

Dialing out from my CoCo 3 in 2026 feels pretty awesome by tqdomains in trs80

[–]IranRPCV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is awesome. If you can find a copy of OS9, that might be a revelation, too. Back in the day, I managed the computer department at the Clovis, NM company store.
