RUN! You are being deceived If you become a Mormon and get baptized to get married in their "temple" then all of your non-Mormon family members and friends can not come to the ceremony (and probably not your funeral either, but I'm not sure on that one). They are very secretive. The fact that you would have to wear sacred underwear to have God protect you should tell you something. Only God and his angels can protect you! Please speak to your family, friends and pastors before making any decision.

@Juliana: I wasn't talking about using the gun on anyone. It would be very irresponsible if I chose to do that.
I often go outside and shoot my guns at targets to "let it out"... I've never shot a person, and never intend to.

Sigh....

Lin thanked everyone for help on this thread and I believe she let the Lord lead her. In fact, said in this thread or another thread I talked to her a bit on she said to me she was letting the Lord lead. , she just wants the thread to go, let it go. :)

Blessings, and, yes, all your pictures are funny and all, but Lin is politely asking to let the thread ride into the sunset, I think. is that what you are saying, blueseraphin, milady?

Because, if you are, make a last post asking others /telling others situation was resolved . And, I know you've somewhat, in so many words, already said u wondered why thread continues, but, please, say it again :)

May Jesus bless everyone, and, blueseraphin, all the teasin' people doimg here is human nature and no one means any meanness, they are, not meaning no disrespect to you, just having fun and happens to be on your thread :)

I know it may be fun to tease others, I do it too.
But yes, I would like for this thread to be forgotten.
If you would please, just take your fun elsewhere.
Than you.

By all means let us encourage bad behavior in our young people by respecting the wishes of someone who has displayed complete disregard for our faith, her elders and the law, who thinks shooting people is just "irresponsible"....

I'm going to assume that the previous post was a result of it being too early in the morning... I hope.

Dianna, I am really shocked to see this coming from you. I know you are under tremendous stress so I will take it that that's why you posted that. I went back and read through all of Lin's posts here and didn't see anything that might have caused such a reaction..of course there was one post that was edited by a mod, but Lin said she didn't mean shooting people, ok maybe u missed that post above.

I was and am being completely and totally honest. This is how I genuinely feel. Christians are verbally flogging deeply repentant christians in other threads and coddling a teen throwing tantrums in this one. What I read here actually turned my stomach…no exaggeration.

Perhaps having to arrest and counsel literally HUNDREDS of teens who have not been held accountable for their actions by family and friends when they are most certainly old enough to know better and having arrested a teen who shot my mentally challenged neighbor, one of the most loving people on the planet, in the head because he wanted to know what it felt like to shoot someone clouds my thinking a bit when someone tells me that it’s just being..irresponsible.

As Oncefallen said. If you want a thread to close, stop posting on it.

Well I can understand how you would be very upset about a teen who would take shooting people lightly, but Lin said she didn't mean shooting people and her choice of the word 'irresponsible' seemed like an appropriate term in that post. This whole thing takes me back to that laptop-shooting dad, and Lin is the daughter in this case.

I can understand how Lin is upset about this thread still being open because people keep responding to a problem that was already solved and she already asked 4 mods to close it. If this was my thread I would be just as upset, and if I was her age I'd probably say stuff I shouldn't have said either.

I'm just saying, lets keep our perspective here. Lin has a right to be upset and sometimes kids her age say things they shouldn't.

@Juliana: I did stop posting for some time. But if you can get mad, so will I.
I'm not shooting people, it isn't just irresponsible to shoot someone. I was going to say other words, but I couldn't find words for how terrible that would be. I've had several people in my family, out of my friends, and people I just know, who have been shot. When I get out my guns, it's more of a tension reliever. I'm not about to relieve my tension on a person. I'd rather shoot a horse, a wolf, or another one of my very favorite animals, to pieces, before I shot a human being. In my opinion, it wouldn't relieve tension to shoot a human, it would build it. I love people. Hatred isn't really something I've ever felt.
And I haven't, in any way, been coddled, if I had been, I would be sick too. I hate being coddled. It's kind of obvious that you haven't received a single one of the Pm's people have sent me (I would kinda be worried if you had)... But I haven't even been close to being coddled.
This was a problem I thought I could trust you guys with, but I guess I was wrong, and I'll never take one of my problems to you guys again, I'll deal with them myself, thank you very much.

What ever happened to forgiveness, understanding, love and compassion? It all goes out the window because a teenager got upset and had a tantrum? If she was actually talking about shooting humans then that's one thing, but she said she was not.

BlueAngel, if I may be so bold, the way you meant what you said, and the way you came off, are two different things...and the way it sounded it was sounding like you were trying to take the whole matter into your hands by means of a rifle. And that's probably another thing that set Jullianna off. We need to choose what we say carefully. And no forums are up forever. It might not die off as fast as you'd like it to, but it'll die off. They always do.

We gotta use maturity in the forum...

Lin (Blueangel) might not be perfect, but I happen to know from the many posts I have seen from her over the time I've been here on CC that she is very smart, wise and beautiful person..., and none of us are perfect. We sometimes say things we shouldn't have so I, for one, forgive her for whatever she said.

There are a couple of things that need to be addressed.

The first is Jules comment in regards to the rifle. At first, I admit I even thought she overreacted until she explained why she made that comment. And quite honestly, it caused me to feel guilty, because even recently I have made a comment to someone about sending him over to another country to handle a problem with a bazooka. Many adults make these type of comments, not really meaning what we say without realizing how our very words are quite often overheard by both teens and children. It’s no wonder children make these type of comments. And when these comments start coming from their mouth, it’s so much easier to start to act on these thoughts.

As for Lin threatening to shoot a person, in no way did her comment come across that way to me. Earlier, there was mention about this thread being like a person beating a dead horse. That was what I thought she was referring to, trying to put this thread out of its misery. In no way did she come across as having a temper tantrum. Instead, she came across as young woman who was frustrated and wanted this subject to drop. However, several of us, I included derailed this thread, not meaning to make Lin feel that she was being made fun of. However, I have a feeling that is exactly how she felt. That we were thumbing our nose at her and telling her we could do whatever we want to do. Long before she made that comment, she had asked several times for people to stop commenting. And guess what, we still kept commenting. We have also shown her great disrespect by not considering her feelings.

For all the time Lin has been here, she has done nothing but been loving, kind, considerate, and fun even. When someone has a problem, she helps in a way that is in no way judgmental, or rude.
She has created threads on two problems she's had since she's been here... TWO. That's it.
She's given nothing but love, and out of the two, she's received nothing but judgment (with a few people, like her, who have been loving and kind back to her. that select handful of people, I am thankful for, and I'm sure she is too).
IN ABSOLUTELY NO WAY, has she been coddled. There's no one here that's kind enough to coddle her. (save the few that ARE kind enough, but are wise enough to know that she really doesn't need or want to be coddled, she just wants advice).
I wouldn't blame her if she never posted about her problems again.
This kinda makes me woder how much Lin would be liked if she acted like you people act towards her.
Thank goodness I know, that she's a very forgiving person.
Hopefully nobody becomes the first person she has a problem forgiving. Because if they do, they're missing out.

Sorry, Lin, my last post on this thread.

In post #124 Lin said, in so many words, she wanted to 'shoot' the thread (to make it go away) and it was directly in reference to nicest guy's beating a dead horse picture posted.

Lin said later on post that she was going to get gun out of Cadillac (and shoot it herself), as I logically understood it.

I can understand others offense taken but it is mis-taken , and, again, Lin, I know you and I talked extensively on this thread topic a couple Fridays ago (on a different thread), and I'm not much help to people, I know, IF they are not going to understand that they can choose to do what they want but, indeed, God IF you want to let Him lead, will SHOW you your best path. You understood, you told me that you would 'let the Lord lead.' Conflict was over for you I knew then because letting the Lord lead our life will NEVER, ultimately, be a wrong thing to do, sure, bumps, but there been bumps since Adam and Eve sinned :(

Proverbs 16:9 is clear (and I can point you to a whole potful of His leading verses):

Paraphrased but pick your favorite Bible and read it yourself :)

(Wo)Man goes man's own way, but man's steps are re-directed by God. IF you are a Christian man, you will follow His direction. If you're not, you won't.

Lin said she has Proverbs 31 woman Godly verses on her wall. She genuinely was/is torn over a guy who happens to believe different.

Like all advice on c.c., we individually need to filter others' words through God in prayer. I genuinely believe Lin did that. She asked for advice and got her answers and then said thanks for all's help.

Love is a many splendor thing, and, God must work us through all love in our life or else it will be the wrong kind of love for someone whose chosen to let Him direct their steps in life.

May Jesus wonderful Love bless you all this day, make it His and it will, too, be yours. :)

Note: Lin, people are just venting and lefting the Lord lead them now, I know you know this but just saying, they have no intent to keep thread going against your wishes, milady :)

"@Juliana: I wasn't talking about using the gun on anyone. It would be very irresponsible if I chose to do that.

Gabe, You probably know me better than most people here, and I know that you know I am consistently among the very first to want to protect and offer loving encouragement to those who come here, particularly young people. If you have read all of the posts in this entire thread, you can clearly see that approach was attempted for an extended period of time.

As others who have raised teens have said in this thread, it is important to recognize teen drama for what it is and not be manipulated by it. Tough love is no less love than tender love.

I don't take statements like that lightly as some do. I've seen too many become reality.

There are going to be times when those who love one another and who love the Lord will strongly disagree. It happened with Paul and Peter, it will surely happen with us. That does not mean love ceases. :)

I know your heart and that you mean well. :) Truly. I am not offended that you disagree, but I cannot lie and deny that I feel as I do, and I do not believe it to be wise to initiate private conversations with minors online over divisive matters. Everything must be kept open and above board in that regard.

I do apologize to anyone who might be offended somehow by larger fonts, but having to type from my bed and the medication I am currently taking makes it very difficult to read the smaller fonts.

May God richly bless you all. :)

I know how you feel julieannie, in situations where things get said so quickly, best to let the Lord handle things. Best way to do that is forgiveness. Jesus saved the world by doing that :)

Ok, yes, I am really done, Julianna does sincerely post her thoughts, like Lin does, like we all do who have chosen Him ours, and, I am done posting mine on Lin's thread now , I think , the Lord leads :) .
