...so listen up. Irregardless of who said what, who's doing what, and whether or not you agree with what they are saying or doing...would you all just grow up??? If I hadn't already decided to leave, I would have after all of this. I'm gonna tell you like I tell my boys If you don't have something good to say, don't say anything at all. Now, if you all can't behave like good little boys and girls... I'm gonna send you all to your rooms and take away your internet privileges for a week. Now, go to somebody who you've had words with and seek forgiveness...that is Christ's command, not mine!!! ...and if you don't, it speaks volumes to your relationship with Christ!

I'm glad I missed whatever this horrific thing that went on on here!! And I don't wanna know what it is/was as.....I'm assuming it doesn't involved me!!  Can we believe that good will still come out of all this?

As I said to someone else.......perhaps a good dose of Castor Oil.......coz a good purging never hurt anyone!!  Rather than cast stones, I wish people would just get their Bibles out and work on their own salvation!! Imagine the different tone that would make on the blogs!! Hey Jim.....good to see you!!

AMEN AND AMEN AND AMEN, JIM! I thought upon leaving my job on the weekend, I don't have to deal with all the arguments and the infightings...but every time I opened the BLOG PAGE, it seems, PEOPLE HERE ARE ACTING JUST LIKE THE GROUP HOME CHILDREN I've been dealing with for over 6 years now...SO SAD TO THINK THAT SO MANY ARE LIKE THEM, BUT THAT'S THE TRUTH!!! I come here on BC at the very end of the day, after a very stressful job, to fellowship and interact with God's people, but it grieves my heart to see the unnecessary arguments, the name calling, the harsh words, the divisions! THE ENTIRE ATMOSPHERE IS SO GRIEVOUS, SO DISHEARTENING, SO DISCOURAGING, SO DISTURBING, SO SICKENING!!! Like what you said, WHEN DO PEOPLE EVER GROW UP??? I have to search my self on this one...AS LONG AS OUR HEART IS PRIDEFUL AND SELF IS ENTHRONED, WE WILL NEVER GROW UP INTO MATURITY IN CHRIST! WE WILL CONTINUE TO OPERATE IN THE FLESH AND RUIN SO MANY LIVES BY THE WAY WE LIVE! Just MHO! Thank you Jim for this very relevant message! We needed to hear this today! EXCELLENT POST! glo Teach me your way, O LORD,and I will walk in your truth; give me an undivided heart, that I may fear your name. I will praise you, O Lord my God, with all my heart; I will glorify Your name forever. (Psalm 86:11,12)

Agreed, Jim. I just don't understand what is so important about always having the "right" answer. Can't we just agree to disagree? Nancy Let us share one anothers burdens and so fulfill the law of Christ

Agreed, Jim. I just don't understand what is so important about always having the "right" answer. Can't we just agree to disagree? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Hi Nancy, I've been blogging for almost 3 years now! I've encountered many harsh comments, and if I responded NEGATIVELY, what good would it do? But create chaos and dissension...So, I CHOSE TO STAY POSITIVE AND TURN THE NEGATIVE COMMENTS AROUND TO A POSITIVE ONE!!! Is it easy to do? OF COURSE NOT!!! MY PRIDE WANTS TO SHOUT AND SHOW I AM RIGHT!!! But when our FOCUS IS TO GLORIFY GOD, EVEN OUR ENEMIES WILL MAKE PEACE WITH US!!! It's HEALTHY TO AGREE TO DISAGREE! Nothing wrong with that!!! GREAT INPUT! THANKS...glo Teach me your way, O LORD,and I will walk in your truth; give me an undivided heart, that I may fear your name. I will praise you, O Lord my God, with all my heart; I will glorify Your name forever. (Psalm 86:11,12)

It goes beyond being right, people are looking for acceptance through the affirmation of others. If they don't get that affirmation, they will go to extremes to convince others to give it...or, maybe I'm over analyzing this? Nancy Let us share one anothers burdens and so fulfill the law of Christ

5/13/2008 8:09 pm |
You've hit the nail on the head, Jim. We know when we're doing right and when we're not. I think the vehemency of a response comes from knowing we're wrong but not admitting it to ourselves.

We have a small wolf pack on this site. Anyone that doesn;t agree with them, they band together to bring down the offending dissenter. Their howls are loud or constant, and therefore they seem to be a larger wolfpack then they actually are. They harry and pester the target, assuming the target will give up eventually and become a meal. Men never commit evil so fully.. as.for religious convictions

Advance on your allowance??? Who cleaned up after supper tonight? I did! Who folded the towels and put them up? I did! And by the looks of things, if the trash is going out tonight, it will be done by ME!!! So, the answer is absolutely NO!!! =) Okaaaaaaay, I'm seeing a little of what its like in your house! How ARE those sons of yours anyway? And what are THEY doing if you're doing ALL this on your own?? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Okaaaaaaay, I'm seeing a little of what its like in your house! How ARE those sons of yours anyway? And what are THEY doing if you're doing ALL this on your own?? Helped move my oldest son to Louisville for school this past weekend...which was sad for me. The younger two are busier and have more energy than ever...that or my energy level is declining...maybe both!

They really do help out around the house, most of the time. They do have their moments...don't we all though?

LOL, a co worker and I were just talking about our waning energy levels at this age! I was wondering about your eldest...so he's gone already. I'm sure it was nice to have had him at home for awhile but hard to let go again after getting used to that, huh?
