Well, how often do you see ME in the BDF? Not hardly at all. :) Maybe you haven't noticed, but there is a VERY dark side residing in that forum. However, you obviously don't get my humor. I meant dark side, as in, we want to stay out, but sometimes can't resist going in.. lol.. As for me, I hate the BDF with a passion..

Hi Blue,

Yeah, I don't see you in there very often. But I've only got so much time per day to spend here so you many be in one or two of them and I don't see you. I am finding that I don't interact with many on here because we happen to be responding in different forums or different threads within the same forum. :)

I saw you in the works thread a month or so ago. Not that I'm keeping track. :)I mentioned the dark side because sometimes we paint everyone with a wide brush in our generalized comments when it may be a small handful that resemble your evaluation. I just think we have to be careful.

Yeah I didn't get your humor in that. But now that you explained it I'm understanding your meaning. I guess I can see where some may do that.It does seem that some love to argue. Others want to discuss bible because they love to and want to learn more.

Others think they know the right way and all other ways are wrong. Some are there to counter false teachings. Some use it as a way to learn to walk in love, even when there's disagreement. Some just like to discuss any and all things and don't mind the fighting going on.

I'm sure there are other reasons why as well. I don't mind it there until the name calling begins, the belittling and etc. If that starts I'll slip out of that thread for a while until it stops.God bless you, Blue! Have a great day!

Pretty much anything can become an addiction, even if it is Christian.

I don't believe that 'anything' can become an evil-addiction, after receiving The Holy Spirit -
for we are constantly being taught to 'over-come' and rely/act, as He would/commands...

satan's job is to 'bind us' into his age-old agenda', - but what our Saviour demands of
us, 'is to leave behind all of our 'old-man's ways' and to learn to walk in His Light, forever...

I used to be addicted to the live chat rooms here when I first joined. There was a completely different vibe back then. Everyone was having fun and there were many regulars who were interesting to listen to and the energy level was always high...

Now it seems like chat is very low key and serious all the time. Its like 24/7 bible study in there. Not my cup of tea. I've tried coming on at different times and different days but its always the same. There were maybe a couple brief times in the last couple weeks when I found the conversation in the lounge or bible study room somewhat stimulating, but it didn't last long....
