Chatting someone up

Stuff like that is why the ignore button exists, because it really doesn't take too long to figure out that some people just don't have anything to say that's worth listening to. And those of us who know you, know that you are a valued part of our community and one of the people we're grateful to have around when we're going through something and need someone to show some kindness and understanding.

Thats weird because they are still posting on CC.
Anyway maybe they really dont get it.

Thing is, theres nothing actually wrong with preaching on a christian site. LOrd knows people hated him for you know, preaching. If you are a christian thats kinda what you do, even if you try not to, eveything will come out preachy no matter what, even without trying! You could be breathing and anyone who isnt a christian will get super annoyed annoyed cos you are breathing in the holy spirit which they dont have! You could be having a nap and someone else will get annoyed cos you are resting on a sunday while they are working their butt off and complaining about it.

Actually there are plenty of people who manage to post and contribute to discussons and rarely come across as preachy. Seoulsearch comes to mind as a prime example of that. There's a huge difference between fellowshipping or discussing things with people and preaching at them. Interestingly enough there are also plenty of negative, unpleasant, toxic Christians around and it seems like all of them are sure that people hate them because they're so much more Christian than others and all those other people can't stand God's truth rather than for any other reason.

And just for the record, common people pretty much loved Jesus. Crowds followed him everywhere and hung on his every word pretty much (that's why we have the feeding of the 5000, the preaching from a boat story, a sermon on the mount and then one on the plain, etc). The people who hated Jesus were the ones whose power his message threatened. Those who heard and followed his message came to call it "the good news" (seriously that's what gospel means) and I find that rather interesting when talking about his message (and a good measuring stick for our own interpretation of it, is the message we're sharing really good news?).

If God is love and goodness and that is the fruit his Spirit produces in our lives, how can any of his followers excuse being spiteful and hateful towards people?

There is also the LOL cat bible, but nobody ever quotes from it so maybe people just dont read that version. And dont get the reference.

Have anice day zero turbulence.

Dont know why you are so offended, I never judged you...am not a judge. Weird you being so hostile?

I remember this guy, just got so offended I and I didnt say anything and he sad it was cos I was a christian. Just cos I didnt smoke or drink with him. But why should I? I was there to work not smoke on the job. Besides, smoking in a ute thats full of gas wasnt a good idea. My bad judgement I suppose lol.

His idea of work was chatting me up and asking all sorts of personal questions. On way home he said, cos it wasnt work time, he was like asking me to solve his personal relationship problems. He was like are you a virgin? Im like I dont even have to answer that.

I really didnt care if he didnt like me. I wasnt there to be liked.

What creeps you out about how people talk to you, particularly if you are single?

I have found in the workplace its men who cant handle a lady who is single and not interested in them (sexually) Its hard to be professional when your supposed workmate wants to not be professional and chat you up.

What do you do in those situations?
You could tell the management, but management might not even care, and you could either lose your job for telling the truth, or have them disciplined but they could make life tough for you.

This is what people DONT warn you about on the job, particularly for younger women. Older men just see them young women as fresh meat. Prey.

Its not a modern day thing, because even back in Bible times Boaz was looking out for Ruth, he didnt want other men chatting her up. But who really wants to marry their boss? I mean really? Do we know if by him marrying her she still had to work in the fields? I expect so, but treated better cos you need all hands on deck when its the barley harvest. Do we need to be married to stop other men checking us out?

Cos I dont know if being married really stops it. Would you go after a married woman or man? Or someone who has a had a string of previouses? The woman at the well who had five husbands...didnt seem to stop hanging round creepy men an nearly lumped Jesus in with them.


How refeshing to have a conversation with someone of the opposite sex who IS NOT sizing you up. If Jesus knows all we ever did there is no need for anyone to be nosy and ask us constantly if we are single. The intersting thing is how Jesus responded to this woman...call your husband, for he knew he wasnt meant to talk with her. The disciples were suprised to see him talking with her and you wonder if they thought he was chatting her up. But no, he was simply asking for her to give him a drink.

No innuendo at all, and no creepy advances.

Now I know christian chat is just that, christian Chat. Can you imagine if it was NOT christian chat and everyone was just chatting everyone up and being creepy instead of having good comversations in Christ!

Wow...... I can see why @OneOfHis gave you a disagree.



I have seen many women destroy other people's relationships and marriages >>>>> it goes both ways.

Oh I forget to add he is gay as well. So not only do I get the younger ones, I get the gay ones too!

Let it go, if you want to say meow I wasnt making anything of it just you were speaking in (cat) tongues. Translation?

My cat is well behaved and doesnt attract all the other cats, if I do see other cats round the property trying to attack her, I shoo them off with a water gun or a look. One time the neighbours cat did try to attack my cat, and she had to go to the vet and get stitches.

Some older peeps get the gray ones.
