[Someone Wrote] I noticed that bert, nat, and brads post had slowed down for a while. I was thinking, Finally some rest from all their crap... And then the past few days they have been back posting enforce... To bad....
I believe that the contribution of everyone is important in order to make a forum worthwhile participating in. We are fortunate, in some respects, to have a variety of people here with a spectrum of different views. I know that at times it has even caused me - dogmatic and resistant to change - to reflect on my beliefs and practices.
Moreover, the contributions of Bert and Nate are always thoughtful, and I appreciate their writings. Thus, I think it is important not to measure everything by our own tastes, because we certainly will not find universal agreement on that score.

I have noticed that all the anonymous posters had slowed down for a while, and we were reading a lot more of people who stood by their word: Cherie, Gene, Zorro, GoBlue, Kathy, Brad (well, maybe not!) Steve, fmofthe2x2s, withopeneyes, wanttobewithgod, Selah et al. And then... they're back again. Anonymous gutter snipes. Brave in their anonymity, spewing out you-know-what... Too bad...

Call the workers? .... ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D Ken. I was alerted to the dangers of posting my name here... We did a thread on this topic last year. I have watched what people, typically anonymous, write to (or about) Nathan, as a good example.
Many of the posters here do not use their actual names, ie GloryInTruth, FreeSpirit, fmofthe2x2s, withopeneyes and wanttobewithgod.
But, at least you can identify a post with an individual, whatever alias they chose to employ.

I can't understand why anyone would respond to the abusive posts as Nathan has done as well as others. I also can't understand the mean spiritedness displayed by many of the 'ex people. I am beginning to think that this is what they let grow in their lives while they were professing and it eventually caused them to leave. Once out, there was nothing available to keep the mean spiritedness in check so you see it exhibited dramatically here.

Las, debating never changed the heart of any man. But... I am happy to debate anything. Who started conventions? They probably began once the tribes settled into the Promised Land. Shiloh was an early convention place.

Shiloh was an early convention place. There you go again with your flawed beliefs. Of course you use the word "PROBABLY" because it is pure conjecture. The congregation of the children of Israel met as Shiloh. Are you saying the F&W's conventions are of the congregation of Israel? The meeting of the congregation of Israel had not comparison to any F&W convention.

Who started conventions? we want to know! 2x2s can debate on any topic, las... but you and others don't hang around to keep it going.... you people keep on disappearing on us with different alias and especially the anonymous posters.You lack intellectual ability to debate. You refuse to expand your understanding because it is blocked by ignorance. You invent things and expect people to believe them as fact. You believe you are the only one right. Stands to reason coming from a Only Us mentality. Yup you are the only ones right and everybody else is wrong.

You believe you are the only one right. Stands to reason coming from a Only Us mentality. You know, Janet, personal attacks do not really do a lot to further any discussion. Your posts seem, at least to me, to be negative and judgmental and do little to promote any open discussion. Even with your stainless steel pots I think it would be a fair statement to say this is a case of the pot calling the kettle black. You cry out against the "Only us" mentality but from your posts you do not come across as being all that accepting of those who dare to disagree with your pronouncements. You are saying they are wrong and you are right but how does than make you any different? Are you Christian? If so, then you also belong to an "Only us" group and share their mentality and, as such, to some degree echo their feelings. But then - "All I know is what I read in the papers (on on this message board!)". Claire *Will Rogers* Smith

I am not responsible to answer personal questions. Sorry. I cannot be troubled by what you think.

Sorry. I cannot be troubled by what you think. As I suspected. Of course you cannot be bothered. Considering what others think would be work and would require you to have an open mind. Best you just don't be bothered with the ideas presented by others and stick to your own thoughts. But you were just complaining about people with closed minds. How quaint.

Are you something special? Do you need attention? Oh I get it you must be one of them. A Narcissistic personality disorder type. Hey the 2x2s are full of them.

It must be very good water. I hear it is some of the best fresh water as it goes. Do they bottle it? They can ship me some. ;D P.S. Do you think they will send some to AU and OR?

Keep it up. (until you want to go to heaven) Brad

Glory in Puke, I've noticed your posts are very thoughtful. In fact, it takes some pretty weird thinking to come up with your conclusions. I don't have to think much about what I post. I mean, it's pretty obvious. When people post something stupid, you don't have to think that hard to type out the truth. People always have to think more to try to cover all the possibilities of their lies. But, bottom line, it ain't in the Bible. Brad

And when you post anonymously, we don't know how to attack your character. And that hurts my feelings Brad

Nope, I share my understanding, belief, etc... you don't have to believe it. You are entitled to your own opinion and I have mine. I am NOT always right. I have made many mistakes.Translation: I share my ignorance, disbelief etc..you don't want to know what I really believe. You are entitled to believe in God, but I won't have any of it. I am always wrong. I have a right to be wrong, dad blameit, I love making mistakes. Translation provided by yours truly, Brad
