Depleted, we are not going to see eye to eye on this, or maybe much of anything. You kinda implied you want me to leave the site. This is why I called you J, J and E. You prove my words with every passing post.
More then anything, it is your arrogant words and self righteousness stances that I dislike.
BTW, I am far from the only one who thinks this about your posts. I have gotten many PM's.
And you call me beyond help. Coming from a Christian, that is a sick and twisted sentiment.
I think you want to bait me to be thrown off the site.
Every time you see my posts, just look the other way if it gnaws at you that I am still here.
Lets just stay out of each others way. This is now my third request of you to just steer clear of my posts, stop telling me whatever you feel the need to tell me, and live and let live.
You said you were going to ignore me, and then did just the opposite for over a week now.
What you said in the post above does nothing to disprove my statements that you have gotten the facts wrong about me in what you said I did. Your posts are the opposite of love protecting. You like to parade other peoples flaws and put yourself on a pedestal.
In fact, according to a lot of your statements, I find your words to represent something not of...
I have other thoughts about you, but why get into it.
I need to pray for you and for me for Gods peace.
I am not going to answer you anymore, no matter what you post about me.
I had hoped you would try to get along with me and take me off your ignore list, which you never could do anyway.
So now your on my ignore list. And I actually will do it.
So have fun pleasuring your spirit, your mind, whatever responding to this post, and any others of mine you want to.
I am a Christian. I need to find a way steer clear from your judgement.
Pray.
I guess God is trying to teach me something, again.
God bless you, and help us both.

BTW, I do have a life. A very full one, thank you Lord. My last last years blood work showed numbers of a 35 year old man, so I am physically fit. I am not bound to a house, I am in good health, and I am very active physically.
I have a business, hobbies, read a lot of books about different subjects, and I have two precious children I am raising by myself because my wife died of cancer 15 months ago. Not to mention God and my church in my life, and what I do to get the message out there.
I came here to try and be a benefit to others, and to learn. To also have some conversation and a little fun with other Christians.
All this drama that some people here seem to thrive on is not for me.
I will be here, but I am going to pray more to God before I respond to certain things.

 

[Blain]

hey Joseph I don't have any stance on Depleted being judgemental and well an attacker this quarrel is between you and her.
However you said maybe God is trying to teach you something and that is what spoke to me and is why I think you should not have her on ignore.

Perhaps God trying to teach you patience, whenever you are being attacked by another and you constantly only respond in a mature loving and Christlike manner do you have any idea how high Fathers heart leaps from seeing his children continue to show his heart even under blazing arrows? And think about this also if you will whoever is attacking you will see the heart of God and may very well have a change of heart themselves

You might want to think back a bit bit before making the 'self-righteousness' accusation.
Think real hard. Please read 'red' remarks # 1 and #3 in the mirror.

For red#2, read on...

And as far as you getting MANY pm regarding Lynn, and people talking trash about her?!
You've been here 3 1/2 months, and you are getting MANY pvt messages about a strong member, both of this site and the body of Christ?!

If that is true...If that kind of cowardly, backstabbing gossip is going on, and with that frequency, that disgusts me, and this site is more infiltrated by anti-christs, more under siege than I thought.

That's a real shame to hear that christians (so-called) are engaging in that kind of behavior behind the back of a sister in Christ.

Really, really sad!

 

[Depleted]

Went back to what?

Apparently you missed my point.

My point was to show how the guy's post(s) were perceived (by me) as having a very negative undertone.

Does God call his people to have a spirit of timidity and fear or a spirit of confidence and assurance?

For God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love, and self-discipline. (2 Tim 1:7)


Furthermore, if anyone sees something within someone else's challenged post that someone else has not seen--why not point it out clearly instead of cryptically speaking about it?

Where was what you "prefer" in any of that?

I prefer to focus more on victory in Christ and less on wars that may or may not exist.

Where did you focus on Christ victory? Why was that not warring?

I just don't believe Christ's victory has anything to do with helping someone by showing a funny picture of a guy and his cat in tinfoil hats.

You and I have something in common. We have no fear of taking people to tasks. But don't couch that as

I prefer to focus more on victory in Christ and less on wars that may or may not exist.

It's war.

 

[Bushido8000]

Yeah I have found that CC isn't really a great representation of Christianity. For one, there's no filter for the crazies or fire-and-brimstoners like the filters that churches have. The human contact and idea of Jesus loving people usually scares them away.

That's part of the problem too. This is just a quarrel between Joe and me? Tell that to NU, Billy, and Blue. Too many sit back when folks are attacking others and spread lies. Worse yet, if the person is new, before it's sorted out, enough people agree that the new person is banned before the truth comes out. Attackers stay.

So it's okay that he said Billy's entire generation is ignorant? It's okay that he said Blue is still disabled because she won't listen to him? I'd ask your opinion about NU but he wasn't on here long enough to get that chance to form one for most people.

Ps. 1:1Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the wicked, nor stands in the way of sinners, [FONT=Helvetica Neue, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif]nor sits in the seat of scoffers;[/FONT]

Handing Joseph a seat to scoff is a quarrel between me and him? Why is that?

 

[blue_ladybug]

There are many anti-christ's here on cc.. particularly in the BDF.. This place is definitely under siege from the enemy. JMO

Actually, very funny. I actually talked about people gossiping through PM's, and then, sure enough he said he's been gossiping through PM's. All that happened was he, and we, got the proof of the inner-circle's sway on here. And how they do that.

And I admit it. I've PM'd others about someone else. It's usually about trying to protect the person, not idle agreeing gossip.

 

[blue_ladybug]

Yeah Lynn, nothing ticks me off more than being told that my seizures are caused by demons in me, or that I don't have enough faith and that's why I'm not healed, or that I could "possibly" be cured if I eat some wild algae diet recommended to me by someone who isn't even an MD. Several people have had the peanuts to tell me these things, it's not just him doing it.. It is truly infuriating to me that those people have the chutzpah to audaciously say those things to me, and try to denegrate or devalue my faith, my health and my state of mind!!

Hey. Didn't you hear? This is just an argument between Joe and me.

Are you getting any PM's to tell you how horrible I am too?

You and I have something in common -- we're "over sensitive."

(I love that. I think we're probably two of the toughest broads on here. lol)

People know better than to pm ME and gossip about somebody else, because I don't gossip and I don't put up with others gossiping. It's not that WE are "over sensitive", it's just that the person/people who we turn down and reject their ideas are the over-sensitive ones. I've been called tough on here. I admit it, I am tough. I'd be dead if I wasn't. People just don't like us because we speak our minds and call things as we see them. That freaks out the PC people here. HOW DARE we give out hard raw ugly truth instead of dull sugarcoated versions?! LOL!!

Blain, so true. I have known for the last 2 or 3 years this to be so. This seems to be a message God has been trying to embed in my spirit for a while now. I guess I still have not fully embraced it. She is a tool of God to grind the message into me. I have never had a issue with people saying what they will when I am in error about something. Correction is good. But I have often had a issue when I am being accosted for unfair reasons. Same thing when I see injustices heaped upon other people. I was the guy in school who challenged the bullies when people were being mistreated.
Anyway, God is trying to show sometimes thick headed me just what you said. I don't like hearing loud, arrogant, people who have a holier then thou attitude, knowing we are all in the same mess in the sin of humanity. I like humility and honesty. You know, the plank, and the speck. Especially people who become predators.
I came from a background where people were aggressive. So God has changed my outlook into a peaceful and gentle one as far as live and let live. But it seems the remnants of that is still there when being attacked.
But look what happened to Jesus. God of all the universe. Did nothing but good when He was here. Died a horrible death for us. So if the world can do that to our Lord, who am I?
I just have to realize that this is a fallen world, and that people will say and do things that are misguided, and sometimes even mean spirited. God is trying to get it into my spirit to respond in a different way sometimes, or not at all.
I'll eventually fully get the message. I have to completely let go and let Jesus. Or I won't be of use to Him as I want to be.
Praise God. Thank Him He is still shaping me and molding me and not giving up on my development.

Eh. I like the ones who sugarcoat. They're usually very sweet people who see God in everything. I try to be like that, but well... you see my failure rate. I'll keep trying though.

(I'm now picturing Mama Bear covered in honey. lol)

 

[blue_ladybug]

I don't poo poo a situation and be like "oh honey it'll be okay".. I'd rather give them the truth straight forward and uncut. Maybe others poo poo and sugar coat. I don't, and I never will. If people don't like that, then that's their problem, not mine. Society today is dumbed down and would rather see the world through rose colored glasses, rather than the way it really is: harsh and uncensored.. Love can be gentle, but it can also be harsh. And sometimes harsh gets through to a person better than gentle does..

However, I think I catch your drift; if I'm going to claim that I prefer to focus on Christ victory in my postings--then my posts should undoubtedly reflect this.

A work in progress, I am--I'll keep working.

I agree with you twice here. Obviously, I'm not timid. I'm also just not going to say I don't war when the evidence is to the contrary. But I'm not calling someone else on warring, as if that's a bad thing, because, well, I war. That's all I was trying to say. And, bingo. You got it.

Oh and if you want people to be friendly tell them you're very sorry for what you did wrong, no matter what they did. Got my kids back that way lol.

Good..then I'll let you and others water down and sugar coat the truth. As for me, I'll stick with being blunt, direct and straight forward with no holds barred..lol If people don't like my way of approaching posts on here, then they can go jump in a river.
