In response to Angela53510,
She wrote: 1. Amazing how you join CC and 2 days later (the first posts you made!) you are telling everyone where to go, and when to get off. It would behoove you to get to know people here before you go off the rails on a witch hunt. Unless you are a banned member returning, and you actually do know everyone you are attacking. But, that needs to be dealt with on a different level.
2. So, please let us know how many children you have, and how well they turned out. I hope they are all perfect, because you certainly seem to know everything about everything.
If you are NOT a parent, then just go someplace else. Unless you are recalling some bad childhood experiences you had, and we can all already see whatever happened to you didn't work out for good.
I have not at all told anyone "where to go" nor "when to get off" ... I have no idea where you came up with that ... I have, on the other hand, shared the truth of what the Bible says ... Also, I am not a banned member as I signed up for the first time just recently ... That is interesting that you would say that if someone is not a parent that they have nothing to offer any parent and that they should just go somewhere else ... Also, interesting is your attitude that someone new cannot immediately speak the truth of the Bible ... I did not realize the truth had to gain such seniority before it was allowed to be spoken ... I was sort of under the impression that I was joining a Christian site where it would be welcomed immediately ... According to your attitude, if Jesus Himself was to show up and join the site, then you would require for Him to wait a certain amount of time before He should speak truth to anyone ... Somehow that doesn't ring very Christian to me to require one to obtain any certain level of seniority in order to speak truth of the Bible ... Also, it doesn't seem very Christian like to order anyone to go somewhere else simply because they may be childless and passing along what the Bible truly says regarding the raising of children ...
I realize you believe you are extremely Christian like, but it hasn't come through in your words ... Basically telling people to shut up and to go somewhere else because you don't like the truth they have spoken or how long they have been here ... I don't see any requirement in the Bible for anyone to have children to be able to help those to the truth that do have children ... I also do not see anything in the Bible requiring anyone to have any sort of seniority in order to speak anything that is truthful ... As you claim I have gone over sound boundaries, I believe it may just be you that is not standing on very solid ground with your ideas ...
You are probably right that I should just go somewhere else ... There seems to be a lot of people on here that are extremely resentful of the truth and unwilling to listen to any common sense ...
So, not a parent, but knows and applies everything the Bible says, even about things you have never experienced. Sad!
As as far as you coming in with fists swinging, again, perhaps get to know people first. You know nothing about the individuals, what they have been through, their struggles. Instead, you laid down your own personal opinions, and slammed each and every person who disagreed with you.
Some of those people have successfully raised children, with methods you seem not to agree with. That isn’t just the spanking crowd, but the non-spanking crowd, too! You have no idea of peope’s walk with God, their experience in life or raising children, their knowledge and study of the Bible, education level, etc.
Of course, as a newcomer, you are more than welcome to state your opinion. But unfortunately, you didn’t do that. I didn’t start reading this thread until it was in page 7. I came here more at the behest of someone who was greatly hurt the way you attacked not just them, but numerous people with your bombastic and self centred posts.
Instead of confining your remarks to the OP, you took it upon yourself for more than a page to lamblast almost everyone who posted on the thread. Which is why I felt quite justified in rebuking your pushy and arrogant attacks on my friends.
You come in here spouting untested and dogmatic theories, even worse, claiming you know more about child rearing even though you have not actually raised any children, but shouting that you know more more about the Bible than anyone else. I won’t tell you who, but there are pastors here, who have studied the Bible, know the original languages extremely well, and have always presented themselves as kind and godly people. (No, not talking about myself! Lol)
Further, you have implied I am not Christ like, which may be true, although I do try my best to love people, understand them, as well as sharing from my experience and training, as well as a ministry I have in PMs.
It is you, a newbie, who has come into this forum without love, arrogant, cruel and basically diverting this thread to yourself, instead of the OP. I tried to discuss the OP, you didn’t respond to my comments on the OP, instead you tried to damage me, personally.
So sorry, I am not fragile, I know the Bible 100 X better than you ever will, I have successfully raised children, taught children, as a professional, and I know people here personally and I care about them. You are not going to abduct this thread to your own selfish agenda, of a pompous, proud person who attacks people so freely, how could I not think you must have known them, and had previous bad blood with them, to just keep on atttacking in your ridiculous know-it-all manner? My bad, for that one!
Oh, and that passive aggressive comment at the end of this post I have quoted! Hilarious!
PS You have already clearly proven to me and many others, that no, you don’t have an exclusive claim to truth where the Bible is concerned!
