Yet another person is leaving Christian Chat that I like discussing with and perhaps it's for the best for now until they have calmed down,because every once in a while a topic gets heated and hate ensues and brings out the worst in all of us,please pray for all those who have left because of such times that God leads them to do right by him or even lead them back here,because we all have misstepped and hurt someone at some point let us ask God to heal their pain and douse the flames of anger in not only those who have left but also those here whom remain who may still be hurting and spiteful...
Father God please be with those dear brothers and sisters in christ who have left this site guiding them to always seek you when times turn ill,and please have your holy spirit come upon this site to reinvite compassion to all here who may have some built up anger,those who you use such anger to comfort themselves instead of seeking comfort in you,and all those to come who may be angry for whatever reasons in the future bring peace to their lives to replace anger with compassion,mercy,and an awareness to seek to hold one's tongue when it venomously seeks to hurt,in Jesus's holy name I humbly pray,Amen.

What do you mean, 'another'? SweetMorningDew is back, isn't she? I know that you know because I saw that you liked my post welcoming her back... so, blaaaa. :p

Buuuut if you're talking about Galatea (Or who my text-to-speech program like to call, 'Gai la tee' :/ ), yeah. I used to really like her, and I hope she finds peace...

I think, rather than getting into heated arguments, it's better to just state your case and move on. Christianity has always been controversial, even among Christians. After all, they nailed Christ to the cross, beheaded John, stoned Steven to death, and so on.

Instead of mourning the fact members delete their account, I applaud they are choosing real life and the real people in their daily path. I made the decision of leaving the site in the next few months because I really don't have time anymore and other personal reasons. So be happy for them :)

It's good to be praying for people, and for whatever problems we feel they may be going through.

But if someone leaves CC, either permanently or temporarily, it's really not such a big hairy deal.
It's not like they caught the black plague, or they suddenly turned into zombies or something.
They're fine.
They're probably much happier doing something else instead of arguing constantly with people who aren't listening.

They're fine.
: )

We needn't hold a virtual funeral.
They've "passed on" to a better place.

Amen!

Particularly within the past few days, this prayer was very much required. Thankyou. As Matthew 24:6 says You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. ​Take heart! Good will win out in the end!

I am happy for them but this is "Real" for me every time someone leaves or stops talking on here for a time I worry about them,like Jo del,Hug life,Nkirah,Blue jay, and so on I am a slight perfectionist so I notice absences of people more than most may and though I know God can guide anyone to do right and that when someone isn't on here that doesn't mean their gone for good or that they are not still striving to do right for God.
So when I wonder how they are doing I pray for them because it contents me to do so because I at least feel then that I've done something to show that I would like for God to watch over them because each time my soul knits with individuals I am not about to forget them and certainly will seek comfort in praying to God for whomever is on my heart,it's not a matter of mourning really more of a matter of expressing I care for them and know that only God can put my worries to rest when I wonder how they are.
Some may think this place is just a virtual place of typing for mere talking I view it as a "fellowship" and a "test of faith" because I can speak to people through typing kindness,advice,and encouragement,but I can't be there for them otherwise,I can't really know how someone is doing in life,I can't see their actual faces to figure easier if they are really how they say they are feeling,I can't reach out any further than my phone typing to find out if they are alive or dead,so I can only turn to God for answers,it may just be typings on these forums but this is "all real" for me because it reminds me how I can't see or know how God is doing but I can have faith that all is well and pray when I feel the need to.

If someone refuses to accept the truth after you explained it to them multiple times and insists on a heated argument, then it is best to just shake the dust off your shoes and move on. Discussions can get very heated at times, especially when people are very passionate about what they believe.

In some cases, certain people just want to harass everyone who disagrees with them and you are better off to place such people on ignore. So far I only had to do that with one very annoying person. Certain people are really determined to accommodate their pet doctrines/biased church doctrines and it becomes an ego trip for them to win an argument at all costs. :rolleyes:

I liked MollyConnor. Sorry to hear she left. In regards to people leaving without saying goodbye, they do it all the time at the Post Office. 3 people to be exact just within the last year.

Good post.. I would like to add if someone is insisting on engaging in heated arguments and personal degeneration then please use the Block feature that is available in this forum.. I have made good use of it on one or two occasions.. :)

Perhaps she didn't want to create any drama. Or maybe she wanted to leave the door open for coming back.

Galatea didn't leave. :) She's taking a sabbatical from posting on the forums for personal reasons. Feel free to PM her and say hi!! I've been getting to know her in PM's over the last 24 hours, and she's a sweety pie. <3

As for the rest of this, I left two years ago without saying goodbye, because... I guess because of school. I had made friends here, and to this day I feel a little bad about just ditching it, and that's perhaps the one thing I would have done differently is at least let people know I was busy with school.

When I came back, some friends I remembered were "guests" (Galahad and TinTin to name a couple) and I was curious about what happened. I started a thread in the suggestions forum to start an "I'm leaving/I'm back" thread, because I noticed a LOT of people leaving, coming back, etc, and this is normal! That's part of normal internet life! It happens.

But yes, reach out to people if you can, and send a PM! Let em know you're still thinking about them. Start up an off-forum conversation, it's really satisfying to get to know people on a one-on-one level. :)

I don't know what A sabbatical is so could only figure it meant leaving whether temporarily or not.

prayers needed asap

i need prayer for my family im dealing with an abusive ex with shared custody of my child. he continues to abuse women, has three felonies for it, and continues to get probation ive been battling for 7 years, to no avail. im concerned for my daughter each time she's over there, she even told me shes broken up dv incidents with him and other ladies hes abused and raped me, and the courts are not sympathetic for my daughter i pray for her all the time, and they're making me still communicate with the monster. hes capable of immeasurable evil, and i pray i stay strong also in continuing to have to deal with him. my daughters only 7, and sometimes i cant stand it another day, i wish he could leave her alone. we have been not together for years now, but he still uses my daughter in his sick games
