41 year old Man in Atmore, Alabama, United States Looking For: Women for marriage
Profile for james2nice9 I am James Billings by name ..I am from Atmore Alabama United States..I live alone with two lovely sons that stay with there mom in the United kingdom i am a business man ...I am loving ,caring,honest,And Godfearing .,.........My friend like me because i am open minded and Friendly my hobbies are reading and writing poetry ........
Dontcha just looooooooooove those Southern gents!!!
But really who are you?
Are you who you say you are on your profile?
Do you tell little white lies to make yourself more appealing?
Who are you really?
Isn't it sad that we have to apply so much caution in this place. Or any place for that matter.
I've heard so many stories of people who met someone on BC only to find they were horribly misled or deceived. I've been the victim of it myself so I know first hand. Just because someone professes to love God, does not make them a person who is worthy of your trust.
I have spoken to several people from here, on the phone and I would like to think they were "real", but I've also spoken to people who haven't turned out to be quite so "real".
I guess as you get to know someone, talk to them a lot, you get a fair idea of who they are and it becomes easier to trust.....or is it???
I had a relationship with a man in BC, even went to the US to meet him, only to find he wasn't who I thought he was. It was devastating for me and unfortunately it has made me a little wary...which is probably a good thing!
Even here on the blogs....we read posts....but do we really know what we are reading? Do we take what we read at face value, or do we check the authenticity of it against the Bible? Do we really know who the blogger is? Are they real? Are they really as godly as they sound? Can you trust everything you read?
What about me? Am I real? You read my posts, you say the most beautiful things to me....but am I real? Do you read the Bible passages that I often write about?
It tears at my heart to see people being deceived. It might shock some of you to know that there are people who hate Christians, hate God...and they infiltrate the blogs and quite literally raise hell. Then there are others who are so insiduous, you don't even realise you have been deceived....until after you have been hurt.
I've been blogging for a year now, been in the chat room....I've seen it, heard it and it concerns me how many people get "taken in and wooed" by these people.
I know I'm beginning to sound like a worn out recording here, but there are people in this place who I have come to care very deeply about. People who are hurting, vulnerable people searching desperately for love, for acceptance.....
Please exercise caution.....pray a LOT....check things out. And if you fall in love with someone...make sure you know who they are BEFORE you give your heart away.

I live in the deep south and that youngun' don't sound suthern at all - he needs to say y'all and down the road a piece and hun and stuff like that - he sounds like he has more of a Ghana accent to me!!
Yup - wolves in sheeps clothing!! But it's also a chance to experience that Balm of Gilead and draw closer in intimacy to our precious Lord.
And guess what - love is never wasted!! Not ever - I heard it straight from the Throne Room!! 
Blessings my sweet friend - excellent post.
How can we NOT praise Him - Marilyn
ms_warriorthingy replies on 8/25/2008 10:26 pm: I just reported him to BC and told them even though I was an Aussie, I still recognized that "not so Southern styyyyyle"!!!! Not even one y'all...what a disgrace!!!   
Yes my friend, you are so right........love is never wasted! I don't regret loving any of the people who have hurt me, be it friends or lovers. Coz even though the end result was hard to deal with, I gained a lot through it! Praise God!  |

Thanks for the excellent advice, Pen.
....by the way, I lied about my height and my age on my profile....I'm really much taller and a whole lot younger than I stated!! 
....ahem........um......sorry.......you're absolutely right....we must use caution and certainly common sense when getting to know someone on the internet!
He whispers through the storm......"I am with you....."
 
ms_warriorthingy replies on 8/25/2008 10:28 pm: Pssssssssssssssst don't tell anyone....but I am actually 30!!!   I wish I lied about liking chocolate though.....now people have wizened up to me! Dang it!    |

Oh! And a 30 year old who thinks I may be Ms. Right! um....right for what.....to be his mother?????
  
He whispers through the storm......"I am with you....."
 
ms_warriorthingy replies on 8/25/2008 10:35 pm: just tell him you know a 30 year old blogger.....I'll rattle his chains!!! In an human way of course!!!    |

Yeah Pen, that guy is a scammer for sure: "am from Atmore Alabama United States..I live alone with two lovely sons that stay with there mom in the United kingdom".... He contradicted himself right there, and how could anyone believe a word he says after that? Yeah he's probably from Ghana or Nigeria....LOL
I get you about being careful, and watchful about the deception out there in so many different ways. If I meet someone here, I'll have you do the interrogation for me and weed out the fakes....
Seek ye first the kingdom of God, and His righteousness!
ms_warriorthingy replies on 8/25/2008 10:37 pm: Hey you are one observant chickie!! I didn't pick that little gem out! Crikey you want me to interrogate???? Oh boy!!! Yes!!!   |

You do speak the truth my dear!  And I have often thought those very same thoughts, who are we really? Are we who we say we are? By the way I am me! A 61 year old, slighty overweight, too short not so funny great grandmother. A lover of Jesus and a child of the Most High God!
Lord, keep one hand on my shoulder and one hand over my mouth! 
ms_warriorthingy replies on 8/25/2008 10:41 pm: Thanks my sweet!! But hey you don't fool me....I know you are actually a 21 year old supermodel!!!  |

Hi, Pen! 
Yeppers, there's lots and lots of snakes crawlin' round on their bellies out there; but sometimes, you are incredibly blessed to find a genuine jewel who is EXACTLY as they seem. When you do, it makes all the sorting through rocks we do worth it.
I didn't know you had gotten taken in and hurt. I'm so sorry. Can I go smack the dirty rotten begger clean into next week??? PLEASE??????????

Yep Pen we need disernment much more these days as there are wovles among the sheep everywhere, even in our own churches. These are the end times and we need to be more vigilant in every area of our lives. Bless you sweety

Truth is- Ya know fer sure I'm not "phony".  Truth IS - yer WAAAAAY attractive and all. (  But TRUTH is- I would never ever try to "attract" a woman by feigning untrue things just to "get something"- even "on line romantic interest".  Brash? LOUD? Crass? Straight to the point? Disagreeable in discussions? won't quit saying "Jesus Only"? yup. But check all around here at BC- SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO many beautiful ladies some with beautiful spirits.... Not one can say I ever led them on at all. Scammers? Sure. Users? Sure. But when God says "Hands off"... I kinda like to TRUST that He knows something more- that I don't WANT to know about most women.  He'll bring the real deal when she's ready- even if I'M NOT.  How easy can it be to not be looking for something I don't have even the slightest clue about? 
As for the rest of it? Yeah. Still the one calling YOU a phony christian. Cuz it's true. 
Perfection... Possible? Yup... IF ya wanna TRY.
ms_warriorthingy replies on 8/26/2008 1:54 am: Sooooooooooo what your really saying is.....you want to date me right?  
Gordy, I don't mind you calling me a phoney...your words don't hurt me...but please could you not get so darn nasty? I hate it when you say hurtful things to people on my blog and I wont tolerate it ok? I don't care how mean you get to me coz it's water off a ducks back, but don't ever do it to my visitors. Kapeesh? |

truth is truth. "Overcomer" or "loser". can't be both. Nary a one here has that label of "overcomer". I'd know if they did. WE ALL would know. (chuckle ) makes'em fair game for all sorts of "Mean" awakenings.  If it is "MEAN" to speak TRUTH to someone- so be it. Maybe it will stimulate a bit of deep introspection and self study and recognition as to what's REALLY wrong on the inside of'em. ?) Don't CARE if they don't like ME.  But to be "claiming to be a "christian" and NOT doing what Christ said to DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO..." and then saying "I just will never quit sinning as long as I live- have to DIE AND be in heaven first"... It's a LIE and THAT is what counts. LIARS WILL NEVER GET PAST JESUS AND INTO HEAVEN. He said so.  Soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo. yup. ya'll wanna spout the trash that MEN teach- yer lying about JESUS and The FATHER both by just doing so. And this ol' "MEAN" dude will always call a liar a liar. No excuses. No backing down. And you can say I don't matter to ya since the "delivery" is "MEAN".  Jesus is even MEANER- cuz HE'S THE ONE TELLIN ALL SINNERS TO DEPART when THEY thought they were gettin' IN.  Easy to figger out. "I say "stop sinning" You say ya can't. Jesus says "depart". Gotta break that cycle BEFORE ya get there cuz that "D" word is His final answer to SIN... POOF. GONE FROM HEAVEN AND HIM AND THE FATHER FOREVER and there ain't no pleadin yer case to JESUS- shows that right in scripture- "But LORD! Ain't we done all these nifty things in your name?" Jesus looks ya in yer eyes and repeats- "NOPE. Yer a SINNER AND I NEVER KNEW YA."... Can't say yer following Jesus when YA KNOW YER NOT DOING THE THINGS HE COMMANDED YA TO DO PERFECTLY... easy huh?  Yup. Gotta STOP SINNING once and for all time BEFORE YA FACE JESUS- unless ya got asbestos swimwear. Ya AIN'T GETTIN INTO HEAVEN TO POLLUTE THAT CRYSTAL CLEAR PERFECT WATER GOD HAS FOR HIS CHOSEN FEW. Ring any bells yet? 
Ohhhhhhh... and I didn't SAY anything about a "date" with ya. I just said yer attractive.  goofball. 
Perfection... Possible? Yup... IF ya wanna TRY.
ms_warriorthingy replies on 8/29/2008 12:23 am: Seeeeeeeeee there you go again.....yakety yak bla blah bla blah! Gordy I love you, and I do that not just coz I have to be obedient, I do it coz I love this God I serve.......I choose to love you coz I think that your heart is sincere.....well I guess I could be wrong....but I am going to believe it is. The problem here is.....I don't agree with your gospel.....and there is nothing you can say or do to change that. You are most welcome on my blog......but each time you sprout what I believe to be, a false gospel, I am goig to delete it coz I don't want to see this stuff on my blog. You have your own blog to doctrinate on. I don't come to your blog and fight with you so I would appreciate you showing me the same respect.
Now as for not wanting to date me......what the blinkin heck do you mean you don't want to date me??? you too blinkin stingy to spend on taxi fare just coz I live on the other side of the world?????   Yer cheapskate!!!    |

Yes Pen you have to be discerning and careful online and with folks in the "real world" as all are not who they say they are; but sometimes you get very blessed to find those with true, sincere hearts. My guy, Gary, doesn't understand why I blog with people I don't know...but I feel as though I do know many of you that share sincerely from your heart. God makes the world very small indeed. And I see this as a mission field as well...there are those who need encouraging, prayer, a kind word, healing from hurt; we are to be His hands and feet and do as He would do here. I believe He would be speaking truth in love, offering kindness, hope, healing and love.
He is no fool if he should choose to lose the things he cannot keep to gain what he can never lose.....Jim Elliott

ms_warriorthingy replies on 8/29/2008 12:26 am: I so agree with you, Deena! I have met some awesome people in this place and I would trust them implicitly. Yup in our world, we have the good, the bad and the downright ugly! We just have to be discerning and very careful!
ps......you found that special guy.....yeeeehaw!! GBU my friend, I pray you will both be blessed together!  |
