You know, there are only a few posters that are not downright angry at me for simply making this thread. One guy was practically raging at me for simply posting this question.

I'm still lost in wonder that you are actually seeking complaints. This goes directly against every survival instinct I have.

Been getting these little guys and handing them out, they are 1 3/8" inches in reality, they are always well received and make a great witness.
The powers of darkness don't work by giving us a hatred of God, they work by giving a forgetfulness of Him.
Putting one in sight allows Him to to remind Him of His ever presence.
Sorry I don't know how to decrease the size of my photos!

Look, y’all are not in the focus group of this thread, so why are you here? It’s not intended for you. Go find another super happy pre-destination thread or something.

You're in the wrong forum. It doesn't work like that here. People can comment, derail a thread, whatever they like.

Yeah I've told him that multiple times. Either he doesn't listen or he forgets a lot.

Or... Maybe he just likes to give orders he knows will not be followed. Perhaps it's a masochist thing. That would fit well with the soliciting complaints incongruity.

If everybody did, there would be a lot less drama in the world, and a lot of people would get a much better night's sleep.

We are not all built the same. I try not to say much when a member is asking about a porn or alcohol or drug addiction, because I have never struggled with those things. But I did ruin several years of my life being angry at God.

If the OP was aiming for a "Let's all shake our fists at God" vibe then of course that would be ridiculous and counterproductive. But best I can tell he's legit looking for practical help in an area of sin that you (apparently) have no personal experience in. He wants to hear actual experiences and testimonies because that's what he's clicking with right now. ( @Burn1986 can correct me if I'm wrong about that).

Sometimes I think we forget that the Bible is literally a collection of stories about people who did dumb stuff just like us. It's also about an Amazing God who not only loves us in spite of our dumb stuff, He actually helps us deal with it.

Testimonies are a perfectly valid way to learn about God, just sayin'

Ahh, I should have read on further. I should have known one of us elders would have put the pup in place. So a waste of wind on my part. I'll read further next time.

The dude has a case history of deliberately provoking - making posts and starting whole threads just to incite, to get reactions.

I have zero compunction. In fact I can't even buy any compunction at this point... It dissolves as soon as I put my hand on it.

Yeah, I've seen some of his previous posts and he's quite the character. But if you have judged his motives correctly, then aren't your responses playing directly into his hand? 😑

Anyway, I'm not trying to lead you to compunction. Of course you are free to have your opinions; I don't even entirely disagree with you.

Funny thing about opinions though..... they can be 100% correct and still 0% helpful. 😉

A really good pastor shared once, "Opinions are important but they don't matter", going on to teach how our God is fulfilling His plan to redeem His creation and invites us to be a part as we stay in Him, our opinion only matters because He laves and cares for us but His plan of redemption is first place.
what say you?
