Hay that's cool

Hers and a few others are pritty mean anyone for playing CARTOONS?????????:D

[Willow]

[Illuminated]

Hers and a few others are pritty mean anyone for playing CARTOONS?????????:DYeah, I guess it wasn't very clear what we were doing. We were trying to bump that thread that had so many abusive postings in it to the second page of the forum list. We wanted to do that because it was upsetting for some of us to read the strange replies that were made to your initial posting.

It is nothing personal - it's just the fact that a few people were having difficulty emotion-wise in dealing with some of the subject matter and the way it was expressed. I didn't want to 'see' it all the time at the top of the page is the reason I took part in the process.

This forum is supposed to be a place to help to recover from the SA, I think, and having verbal abuse dumped on us is not very helpful because it reminds us of when we were in the spiritually abusive situations.

This is how I feel too.. nothing personal at all. It was a symbolic "burying of the hatchet" so to speak. I wanted everyone to play the game... but not offended that some didn't want to.

I still don't believe what was done is right. It reminded me of those who tried to senser others by burning books.

But I'm not going to go into details with you because I now realize how upset you get and am not blaming you.

However I can't help but wonder how anyone that had the strength to reject false ministers suddenly find themselves powerless in rejecting posts they disagree with?

Personally I think it would be best for those that strugal with hurt to respectfully ask others not to bother them (as you did me) so that others can make their own decission.

It's unfortunate that you feel this way. I don't know what else to say.

Illuminated;

No need to explain brother, I honestly believe your heart was in the right place as was Willow and don't take it personal.

The only problem I have with the method of getting rid of any opinion through loopholes is that I view a good intention becoming a stumbling bloch for those searching for the possibility of new idears through opinions.

I personally believe no post should ever be sensored by minipulations like false ministers do and be given the time to burn out so that others can choose.

No need for either of us to say any more on the subject, we both expressed our viewpoint without throwing rocks at each other ... LOL and that's cool !!!

It's a start ..... hope we can do this more often

Just so you know, I believe Illuminated has been banned from the forum. Her name is no longer on the member list and she has not been able to post.

Just didn't want you posting to someone specifically and expecting a reply. I don't think you'll be getting a reply from her.

God Bless.

She may have left voluntarily; her name is no longer on the member list (if she were banned, her name would appear with a post count and "banned" by it)... either way I doubt she will be able to respond.

Satscout;

Thank you also for letting me know illuminitated was no longer with us. Was glad to hear she was'nt banded, she was very understanding of others and gave me the benefit of the doubt when others were very rude to me for offering help. Will miss her!

I Hope God sends someone to replace her to fellowship with who is not so bitterly defensive of anyone wanting to help, by sharing how God removed me from religious deceivers through rightly dividing the Bible (2 Timothy 2:15) to expose their doctrinal confusion.

I thank God for all those including myself who have courageously removed ourselves from religious abuse and stand 100% behind everyone that still love God and desire to grow in these forums.

When I came to this forum I posted a warning called "Religious Illness" directed at religious deceivers unaware of their actions and was critisized bitterly by those thinking it was aimed at them.

Sadly I now am having a dificult time to share how God can move us out of our depressions through sharing how we got minipulated in the first place and what can be done regain our joy.

I know God has sent me here (not to impress, minipulate, establish denominational regrouping, or re-save those already saved) but to share God's word as a way to grow without condemnation.

Please pray for me as I will you:)

Hornblower;

The only reason your sick is because your consumed with thinking your better than everyone else and too smart to learn anything new.

Grow up hypocrit!

[InTheory]

Afor, I'm not new here, but haven't posted for awhile.

I have seen your posts on this thread and others.

It may be beneficial for you to stop "trying to help" others here.

The community that is provided here probaby provides the most help that is possible in this format for any of us-because that's what people need that have been hurt, deceived, used, and abused.
They don't need teachings, they need community, acceptance, and love.

God bless, and take care.

Don't take the bait hornblower. If you ignore something long enough, eventually it goes away.

wow afrorechrist what did I do to you? Im sick about Illuminted leaving. What part of that makes me seem like I feel im better than everybody else?
Im sorry if I come off that way I really dont think I feel this way about myself. Anyway Im so sorry if Ive upset you are anyone else here.
I think my posts are really harsh lately maybe thats what you think too? Is it? If it is Im sorry about it. I dont know whats wrong with me lately I am old and Im obsessed with my Dad and my Mother dying. I want to sell this house we are living in so badly but when we leave it (it belongs to my parents, we got it for all of us to live in and take care of them)Ill be leaving my mom thats the way it feels. I know shes dead and Im old and to be honest I dont feel like Im good for anything any more.
I dont understand why Im here or why I should keep on living.
What is it that Im a hypocrit about?
Im a bad ugly person you shouldnt like me nobody should so you are right about me but this is the last thing I would have thought about myself.
I do think people think this about me sometimes though.
Its my dad in me. They thought that about him too. When he died i was so shocked that my couisins felt that way about him. He was the last person on this earth to think he was special in any way at all he was always so depressed.
Aforchrist if you would have known him really known hiim you would have liked him so much.
He was not a christian like me you see? He was a person who was forever interested in everything always studying everything.
Maybe this is why I dont have any friends right?
Well anyway Im so sorry if Ive made you mad at me. I didnt mean too. Im sorry I dont know what I did. I just dont like anybody leaving here it feels like my family is leaving me and they have they are all dead!

This guy needs to be banned from these forums. He is nothing but a troublemaker. Since he started posting here again, the Admin has had to place two sticky threads at the top of the forum reminding everyone what the rules are.

I'll be the first person to want to give someone a second and third chance, but this dude has worn out his welcome in my book. His posts reek of arrogance, condemnation, and name-calling. Allowing him to keep posting is counterproductive to the purpose of this forum.

:cool:

[hornblower]

No I dont agree with you I dont think anyone needs to be banned from anything. I dont think this way, I think its a misunderstanding thats all it is. I think afrorechrist maybe thought I was saying that I was sick to my stomach about his post but thats not what I meant.

I meant that I was sick over Illuminated leaving.

Please aforechrist please im sorry if Ive said or done anything wrong. Please dont leave here and please understand about all of this that I love everyone here and i assure you I dont feel better than anyone I may sound that way because sometimes im so depressed and bitter and i do want to get better.

Please lets not argue at all about anything please ok?

[Voyager]

This is becoming a huge soap opera. I'm backing out of this mess. "Mind Games" is definitely the appropriate title for this thread.

Have fun!

I do I need everyones help.

I totally agree with you Voyager, it is a soap opera. Im sorry to you too ok? I appreciate you so much for trying to help me. God bless you.

Speaking as one who has been thrown out, cast out, rejected, labeled and betrayed by leaders and their followers (who once were my christian brothers and sisters) I would be horrified if this site was a place one could be "banned" for posting a opposing opinion. Disagreeing is not the same thing as being "abusive." I think leveling the charge of being "abusive" is way overused and should be retired. It has lost its original meaning.

[Willow]

Patty.... I haven't seen anyone get banned here.
I do think there is a line of unkindness that should not be crossed.

[Patty]

It is just a major trigger for me

[Willow]

I totally understand.
Me too! HUGS to ya!
