Your assumption that I was offended is not true.
Your boasting about discernment is misguided at best.
I never made light of scripture nor the deviltry involved,
my initial question was prompted by your dialogue in posts 41-42,
which had little scripture but alot of hidden language mumbojumbo
bordering on the occult and displaying an air of superior spirituality.
I understand your paranoia based on the past you claim,
but after first ignoring me, you then didn't address my concerns as much as
where you 'could see into the future' based on your past experiences.
That's a shame, but you still trashed most of the body of Christ and set yourself up as an arrogant judge, and if that is based on your interaction with other christians, that is also a shame but I understand it, but the broadbrushed judgement and skepticism that is rampant these days almost always lands on the wrong person...we all really need to do a better job of curbing that, for Jesus' sake.
Father in heaven, please forgive all of us that take a first-response
negative posture against our brothers and sisters on this site.
Help us all to do a better job of encouraging each other
into a closer relationship with you and each other as we see
your day approaching.
And Lord, if there are those here that are deliberately
causing strife, and have no other agenda but to cause
divisions among us, and build themselves up while
putting others down, help us, as believers in Jesus,
to all have greater discernment, but seasoned
with grace and love in Jesus' name. Amen.
Right. THEY judged ME!
And said about christianity, 'The people suck'.
And spouted superiority over the body of Christ.
And called themselves witches first.
And ignored my first question, and kept having
their private two-way convo. Sure...join in...we'll ignore you.
Blatant., man. You defend this?
I believe in the Lord Jesus Christ as my God and Saviour.
If that doesn't make me a brother in Christ,
I don't know what does, but the treatment here
makes me wonder what spirit is behind their judgementalism.
But ya know, I can't speak for Crumpet, but I don't care whether you think I'm saved or not. God knows where I stand with him. That's what matters. However, this is why neither one of us wanted to share a part of our testimonies. People like you come on here and say we're not saved. You're part of the church I have a problem with, and it grieves me.
You and the troll are just talking to yourselves here. Amy and I are on to other threads, but I did want to make one point very clear to you and to everyone else on this site:
No, I don't love you or anyone else. Whatever you think of me or my status as a Christian is yours to think. I'm not going to defend myself against accusations. If I or Amy make you or anyone else uncomfortable then I would suggest avoiding the threads we participate in. Simple, right?
Bless your heart.
I know Aimee personally, and can attest to her honest character and her deep love for Jesus Christ. In Aimee, we are given a unique gift, because she has been called out of that wicked lifestyle, and can show us the dangers of things we know nothing about.
I had this happen once when I was in a church. The pastor was very charismatic and I began to become increasingly uncomfortable with his preaching style. He was becoming more and more feverish and excited. Then he said, "I am going to count to 3, and the spirit of God is going to come into this place! 1... 2..."
And I was overcome by a forceful need to be GONE before he made it to 3. I just remember thinking "I have to get out of here!" Something was coming. And it was not God. O_O I made it out before the showdown, and never went back.
I had a very similar experience with a guy who I supervised. I was talking to him about some of the reports he had written and letting him know I needed him to make a few changes. We were having a nice conversation and joking and laughing, but then out of the blue it felt like some kind of alarm went off in me and I became very uncomfortable talking to him. I could tell he knew...He must have seen it in my eyes or something.I had to go to meet with my supervisor this afternoon to go over a report I have been working on for the past few months. We got our details sorted out and after I left, I had to go over to another building to another department and get something sorted out with some administrative paperwork.
Okay, that's the back story. Now, when I got into the office with the woman who was working there, I immediately became very uncomfortable and could not wait to get out of her office. There felt like something just wrong in the air or something and as she seemed to drag her feet about getting my questions answered, I got more and more and more uncomfortable. By the end of the few minutes I spent there, I wasn't able to make eye contact with her and I could feel my leg muscles tensing up like I was needing to sprint for my life.
I've never felt anything like this in my life and it was very disturbing to me. It still has me confused and I know it's going to be a topic of discussion tonight when I kneel before God tonight to speak to Him, bu I'm wondering if anyone else here has had a similar feeling at some point? What do you think it was?
Wow this turn out to like a soap opera. ..haha
Yep, unfortunately. Makes me want to go back to being a lurker. Being an active member of this place just isn't worth it.

You develop a filter for the crazy people eventually. It just takes a bit of time to calibrate![]()
So first you say you don't like people, Grumpycrumpet doesn't love them (if you don't love people you don't love God, read John, it's impossible), he who hates his brother is in darkness, you make me feel very uncomfortable, moreso since there was a satanist here very recently and you talk about setups. Right. The disciples were afraid of Paul, not because they were such unfriendly people, but because he used to kill them. Now I'm not afraid of witches anyway and I give you the benefit of the doubt, but it's not smart to talk like that if you want to be accepted by christians. I had demons of witchcraft kicked out of me. If there's hate the door is open, even if you are a christian. I'd get healed up if I were you or maybe you didn't mean it but then I'd change the way you talk and not make jokes that you're an evil mastermind. If you're saved you are a new creation, not some Myer Biggs or whatever character type.
Look, you're jumping to conclusions. I love people. I love my mother, I love people in the Body of Christ, I love people on this site, but AS A WHOLE, I don't like the Body of Christ. I can't speak for Crumpy.
THAT'S BETWEEN HIM AND JESUS. NOT BETWEEN HIM AND YOU.
God is working on my heart. Just like other dude who is only reading and believing what he wants to, you're not paying attention to everything we're saying. Crumpet has been through a lot, I've been through a lot, and God has redeemed us, is redeeming us, and will continue to redeem us. Your fear needs to be handled. Stop walking around so afraid of things and invest yourself in the readings of the bible. You don't need to be taught the bible, you need to read the bible. The Holy Spirit will teach you what you need to know along with whatever your pastor has for you on Sundays. Now, I'm not saying you're not reading the bible, or anything of the sort, but you need to believe that God will teach you by his spirit. Even if you had no church, God will still teach you!
I'm not worried about being accepted by Christians. Whether or not you like me isn't any skin off my nose. Psychology is still valid, btw, even though we're Christians. God made us complex creatures. Biology, psychology, physiology, etc, it all applies.
My healing isn't between me and you, darlin. It's between me and Jesus. It's between me and my friends. I've been saved for MUCH longer than you assume, so next time ASK. Ask more questions and stop assuming you know what someone's relationship with Christ is like. Your fear rules more of you than you realize. Maybe you said what you did because you care. If that's so, great. Thanks. But I think you saw my age, read a few of my words, and assumed a bunch because of that dude who ran with a bunch of judgement. Who, in case you didn't know, is being run on a rail out of town. I've got references here. Big ones. And feel free to pray about me too. That's the biggest reference of all.
I just meant if you don't want people (who absolutely don't know you) to act that unkind better not make such jokes that you're an evil mastermind. Lol but if you don't care about it, fine, but you first said that that bothered you. I just felt uncomfortable for a moment, mainly because before you some satanist was threatening, but God said: Who cares if there are witches on this site? (not talking about you, but they do drop in on forums, once I spoke to someone who turned out to be a satanist and I'm not afraid, but that's not really the kind of people I want to babble with or christian Freemasons, hmm, rather not)
He said:
Be more concerned about the kind of 'christian' witchcraft that noone notices. I made a thread about it in BDF.
Sorry that I doubted for a moment your sincerity, I've been too concerned about trolls lately.
Was in church one day and a young girl came in I had never seen ..before the service ended the Lord told me to warn her about a book she had ..the Lord showed we the size of the book..small in size ... I showed her the size of the book with my hands and told her the Lord said to get rid of it... I ask her if she knew what I was speaking about and she said yes... never seen her since... I know the book was a witchcraft book of some sort.I've never been worried about what strangers think, and I don't remember saying that it bothered me what people thought. I care what God thinks. People change their mind every 15 minutes. I don't have the energy or the time to care.
Again, I'm not a witch anymore, but there are people who are. I run into them all the time. They're everywhere.
Also, AGAIN, if you had read everything you would have seen me talk about christians and THE CHURCH who practice witchcraft knowingly/not knowingly that the rest of Body turns a blind eye to.
Don't worry about doubting me. I get it all the time.I apologize if I came on too strong, but I nip things in the bud. Because of the nonsense in the Body of Christ, and all the confusion, I defend myself hard because the enemy attacks hard.
Don't worry about trolls. They'll hang themselves, and stay out of the BDF. It's not worth it.
