SC, I intended to send you a PM this morning, but I forgot to hit the "remember me" button when I signed on. Long story short, my message got et' up by the impatient internet.

Since we are public right now, and since that seems most appropriate, I would like to tell you something that I slept on last night- I'm sorry. I'll detail it more in a PM later, along with an amusing story about Brett, but in front of the others I would like to say to you that I did come off in a harder tone than was excusable.

Perhaps in this thread we should discuss privately bringing up disagreements, and publicly bringing up reconciliation. I would still have stood up for the poster in the thread that brought our conversations up, but I would do it differently, with consideration to both parties, if I could. I may have been right to bring my argument to the table, but I was assuredly wrong in the way I did it. I read in some tattered scripture last night that I should have taken an aside, if I had an argument with you. I did not do that until after the fact, and that was wrong of me. It is, after all, supposed to be one on one, then both in the presence of a spiritual mentor, and I skipped a few steps. "I'm sorry". I'm still practicing saying that.

Mr Stick....I LOVE the Jesus in you! I am so excited to continue in his grace and glory with you here....

We can still lynch if you like Gent, but you'll have to relegate the noose to the same quiet corner that I will from now on:)

Perhaps when we want to burn each other down for a moment, we ought to just post a quoted response of "Redacted", and then, in love, naturally, PM until we find common ground or need to call an adult to the table to mediate. I'm sure SC and I are on the right track, and I'm sure God is working in it.

Further, I'd say that if anyone notices another losing their cool, it would not be out of the question, as a third party, to post a "You might want to message with who-so-ever, and then get back to the thread". Just a thought. Ideas?

Y'all just need to be a lot less hysterical. Nearly any time of the day, when clicking on "Today's Posts", the resultant first page has a half dozen freaking out, OMG, the sky is falling, we're going to God in the sky while the rest of humanity goes through Hell on Earth.

Aren't we so pleased with ourselves that we've escaped the forsaken's fate!

The primary impression of this group isn't mainstream Christians, it's radical christians.

It irritates me to see the fundamentalist crap every time I click on "Today's Posts". Get a life.


She's a doomsday prophet. They've been around for thousands of years.
This is primarily LisaLisa's doing. Ditch her, she doesn't represent Christians in a good light.

um....can we do that and still be called Christians?

More boogers NCC?

Actually Lisa is a great representative of the colorful people that belong to God....If you don't enjoy reading posts about the sky falling simply don't click..you have the power...I know you can do it! I won't ditch her or you, you're pretty colorful yourself :p

NCC, surely you're joking. Please tell me you were trying to make a funny that didn't quite make it to funny. You have mis-constrewed the whole purpose of this board. Have you not read Psalms?I promise, when I read Psalms, I think David is bi-polar! :laugh: One verse he's Praising God and the next he's scared pootless that the enemy is about to get him. Each and everyday we have highs and lows just like anyone else.

We are trying to learn more and more from Almighty God on a daily basis. We are human and have human feelings. I'm sorry if we don't live up to your definition of what a Christian should be, but I don't remember you posting anything on a regular basis. Why don't you make an effort to get in the middle and learn along with us instead of criticizing our every move. I'm pushing truth this week, and next week and the week after that.....etc. I don't understand what your problem with 'us' is.......would you like to explain more, or apologize to our Moderator....or maybe both. Why would you say that? She's doing a crackerjack job and people just love her. I am sorry you can't see her wonderful qualities and appreciate them deeply like we all do. She is a #1 encourager, organizer, sympathizer, and just all around wonderful woman doing what she can for God's Kingdom. Sounds to me like you're the one missing out.:)

Mr. Stick, what a gentleman you are. That means a great deal to me.:) I understand what you're saying and Scripturally, you are correct. We all forget steps when we get on our soap boxes, and each of us have them. We all want the same thing...to share Jesus with everyone we meet. But when we are met with opposition, and disdain for our God, as Glenn Beck says, "It makes blood shoot from my eyes." I need to take the stance that God took with Job....."Where were you when I spoke the earth into being." or something like that. Do NOT lose any sleep over this as I openly and completely forgive you. It's forgotten.....end of story.....THE END.

I can't wait to hear a good Brett story. The Vikings beat the Cowboys today, by the way. And, the Saints beat Tampa Bay. Yeah!!!:offtopic:

No worries, I only lost one nights sleep, and it was a growth experience. When I add up the weight of my insomnia, that night is on the plus side. What do we do next? I am the newbie in the forum, so I'd like to see where consensus leads.

I'll get that Brett story to you soon enough:)


Just start reading threads and leaving comments or begin new ones. We're a pretty neat family, here.:)

P. S. Don't bash the Moderator.:p

I guarantee you're going to be alot more "irrritated" when you see Jesus coming down from the clouds in a fireball of fury. That's the truth.

As for the rest of your post, meh.......just more trash. I'm not a prophet at all, never claimed to be.
