If I may say so...

To me, the big difference between the regular BDF'ers (oh my goodness, that term even SOUNDS like a bad word! LOL!!) who are posting in this thread and the ones to whom this poll is referring to is humility and a willingness to be taught themselves.

We all have strong beliefs and opinions--maybe that's why we all come to a chat site in the first place--so we can share our wealth of knowledge with others!!! :cool::rolleyes::p

But what I believe sets apart the people posting in this thread from the really hateful ones is that I have also seen these same people apologize to others in the forums and even make jokes at their own expense. And this is just a part of what makes me interested in what they have to say, no matter what the context is.

To me, that's something you never see a "lethal BDF'er" do:

They NEVER say they're sorry.

... And I often wonder if the only crack they'll ever have is the one they sit on, because I most certainly couldn't ever picture them cracking a smile. :rolleyes:

Though I find the BDF to be as caring and lovely as a nuclear wasteland drenched with poison especially with a certain...thing...I don't know if I can even call it a thread, because a 'thread' would have coherent and sensible discussion...that spawned there recently. I still like to visit it once in a while, as sometimes there is this rare diamond in the rough. And counter-trolling the trolls are fun!

I'll just send them to Meme Land, of course. :)

Thanks for the kind words. Working on making them true. Not sure I'm always succeeding. I know you're not complaining. Didn't mean to put such a serious spin on it! Sorry.

Thank you both. But, I do get nervous at too many people agreeing with me. I know I am likely wrong if too many people think the same way. LOL

A couple other thoughts about sending all the Lethal BDF'ers to an island inhabited only by penguins...

* They'd tell all the penguins they must submit to authority... as they waddle around on the flat, stationary earth, with their flat, little feet. :(

* NONE of the female penguins would be allowed to speak... or even so much as make a noise. :(

Can't we send the BDF'ers to another set of creatures that actually DESERVES to be punished...

(You know, like people who talk and text while they're using public toilets...) :D


***

Another CC'er calls the BDF the "Bicker and Debate Forum", which seems pretty fitting. :)

lately, I have pretty much become a non-participant in the BDF as it has become the tool of those who desire a teaching platform without the wherewithal to hog the pulpit in a real church building

no matter the subject of the actual op, instructions on how to do whatever from a supposedly biblical perspective, are forthwith inserted and with a dogmatic 'I am the expert here' the rogue posts are peppered throughout until normal people are exhausted with the tirade and leave or try to answer and are promptly and smartly smacked sideways by a person who obviously has way too much time on their holy hands

'we', whoever that may be at any given time, are always and endlessly wrong, as one person in particular goose walks all over the threads, starts threads and bestows upon us the wisdom of the ages, collected no doubt, from the many youtube videos inserted for those who think a picture is worth a thousand words and are more easily entertained by shock value youtube facts, than an actual study on the subject at hand (which, you may remember, seldom bears resemblance to the op)
Click to expand...
I don't think most churches allow just anybody to take the pulpit on Sunday mornings, so a forum such as this is a good place to share with others what the Lord has been teaching us. The Lord doesn't just teach pastors, and for that matter, a lot of pastors don't have a clue what's going on.
