my sincerest request for forgiveness

[standing still]

Voyager recently posted saying that I didn't need to seek forgiveness. He was wrong. As I have reread some of my posts it has become very apparent to me that I have indeed been far too forceful with my comments.

In one I reread there was definitely an invitation to battle with me. However, I was blind to it. I have been in a very deep, extended battle with my wife, and dealing with newly discovered theft of ministry related concepts I developed years ago.

Further, thank you for pointing out to me through numerous posts the error of my ways. If the consistency of that message had not been there the message would not have gotten through.

I have been under a great deal of stress regarding my family situation. As I reread many of my post there is without question evidence that I indeed was in the process of sending this forum toward a meltdown. That would be tragic.

Therefore, it is imperative that I seek your forgiveness.

Will you help me? If any one here senses that I am being insensitive or relating things in a way that are triggering people, please just post saying, "no pal in that post." I will heighten my sensitivity to my nearsightedness.

Thank you so much for allowing me to be a part of this forum.

Blessings,
Pal Madden

I've not been able to look at your own site and this post does much toward reassuring me of your honest intent here. Thank you for having the courage to reach out to us here. As far as I'm concerned you're "forgiven" and this is "water under the bridge"---though I don't know that I was really involved enough with the "controversy" to offer you this.

In any case-- I was so sorry to learn more of your difficult personal circumstances and appreciate your taking the time (and being able to risk sharing) to post about that. I will be praying that your faith will help to sustain and strengthen you through this difficult time.

Peace to you and yours this night!

Dear Paul,,,I am guessing that Pal was a typo,correct me if I am wrong about that :)
I find that I must agree with Voyager :eek: :D (Voyager will understand the EEK and GRIN,you don't have to ).I don't think missed communication commands "Forgiviness" in the broad sence of the word."Gee I misunderstood"is all that is necessary here.What would we forgive you for ???? Loving God ????? That doesn't make sence at all.I'll try to outline the misunderstanding.
First this Web Site isn't about Praise and Worship.Praise and Worship for most of us on this site,was at one time ,perverted into a wepon used against us.Oh this person doesn't make the stations of the Cross,,,,this one doesn't know the Doxology,,,,that one doesn't sing and po-go stick at the same time,,,,this one doesn't hold their palms up,,,,,that one doesn't speek in tongues,,,you name it!!! every "Block of Stumbeling" concieved we have stumbled over,,,,and our "Shinns" are sore and sencitive.This site IS about the 11th commandment "Love one another as I have Loved you" which we fall short of too ;) but we dust ourselves off and start over all the time :D . Look up old posts of "Bible Lover Bill",if they will still come up,,,,the same thing happened there.The difference is Paul,,,You have a brain,,,,,,Bill on the other hand,,,,,,,,,,,,,well you get the idea ;) So Paul if typeing in the words I forgive you makes you feel better ok then,,,,I forgive you ;) I forgive you for being pleased with God,,,,I forgive you for being excited about your web-site,,,,,I forgive you for wanting to fellowship with us,,,,,,,,Sounds a little silly doesn't it ?????
Love Jerry
