I will be leaving the TMB in the next week or so. It is unhealthy psychologically to be here. I am starting to hate ex-2x2s and that is a sign that it's time to move on.

Bye, GIT. I will miss your posts. I have been thinking of taking a sabbatical from the board too. Life just gets busy sometimes and I need to concentrate on some other areas right now.
Peace to you. Please pray for me and I will continue to pray for you.
Good days, freespirit

As I recall, GIT left in a simular fashion some 3 to 6 months ago from mental stress.
Yes, when you are right and everyone else is wrong, stress does buld.
Has anyone found a "Perfect" Church? Yes, we can go "Chruch Hopping" because of what we precieve as faulty doctrine. Then someone comes along and shows us where our preception was all faulty.
I'm sure God is having a great laugh as all us folks who fee we are "God's Chosen People".
I think maybe I should go back to Boring! lol

why not try the 2x2 doctrine board (http://2x2doctrine.proboards104.com/index.cgi)? much gentler and more edifying

Nasty quote from "gloryinheaven" - "Why wait?"
You must glory in Truth before you can glory in Heaven.

I've been wondering why you have put with the nonsense so long.
You've been like a "voice crying in the wilderness". But I can certainly understand your discouragement.
Good luck.

Glory In Truth,
As a 2x2, I'm sorry to see you go. Each 2x2 that posts here represents our group: and while I haven't always agreed with you, I've certainly appreciated the honesty and strength that you've shown when it has involved the cost of speaking the truths we'd rather not have to admit to.
I hope you'll take a break: balance out: recharge: and come back to fight for what you believe in, again!
Meanwhile: please remember that each poster will form their own opinion of all other posters. And just because the juveniles can't follow or carry on an intelligent conversation, it doesn't mean that you have to accept their opinion--or believe that the silent majority hasn't enjoyed your posts.
Nor do you have to accept that those juveniles represent the majority of the exes either. (As we both know, there are good exes out there--and the juveniles will be juveniles regardless of which side they represent).
Thank you, again, for your integrity throughout your time here. And hope you'll return shortly.

I will be leaving the TMB in the next week or so. It is unhealthy psychologically to be here. I am starting to hate ex-2x2s and that is a sign that it's time to move on. GIT, I feel for you. I really do. A year ago I was where I think you may be now: I was frustrated with the people that seemed to despise the fellowship and the people I'd known and loved for so long - I was angry with the people that came here daily to spit their venom - And beneath it all, though I never dared admit it to myself, much less anyone else, I was angry with myself for the doubt in my heart about what I'd known and believed all my life. I felt I was in some kind of vicious, unending, pointless, spiral of madness. I finally reached a breaking point and turned to God in desperation. I left this board behind and I took a few days off from work. Then, for the first time in my life, I turned my 15-minutes-a-day prayer life (calling it a habit would probably be more accurate) into, for lack of a better word, a nagging experience for the Lord. As best I could, I forgot about all my prior training when it came to prayer. I dropped all my expectations of God except one: that he show me what was right and what direction I was to take in my life. (And when I say I would have been 100% open to absolutely anything he directed me into, I mean it. I was ready. Most of my prayers started with "Okay God, I'm a literal guy, I don't do subtle, I don't get hints. Don't give me a sign. You're gonna have to knock me out and drag my stubborn ass to the destination." Two weeks later it happened. (Boy did it ever.) Events unfolded in ways I couldn't have imagined with such speed that some nights I literally found myself to excited to sleep. My direction became more clear than I thought possible. Everything (and I mean everything) began to make sense. Revelation doesn't begin to describe it. The peace of mind was staggering. Even today I look back and see aspects of the miracle I've never realized before. Beyond this, what happened was profound and personal and beyond the scope of this thread. All I can say at this point, though it doesn't do it justice, is that God came through and then some. The point is this: Drop your training, forget everything you know, and pray. But don't think of it as praying; Think of it as talking to a friend and asking him for a favor. Pray to God as if asking a friend for a favor in desperation. Make manifest the prayerful equivalent of "the squeaky wheel gets the grease". Good luck. God bless you. I love you. -AIF

Nasty quote from "gloryinheaven" - "Why wait?"You must glory in Truth before you can glory in Heaven. Dear bert: Your posts are getting predictable and boring as more than 20% of them now center around your deliberate confusion of truth (noun) and Truth (proper noun). Your old tricks are getting dull. Get some new material so I'll have something intelligent, engaging, and interesting to read. Thanks.

ahhhh, just don't go.... you can hang.... just cuss these guys out ....let it all out...... don't let them push you off the board... stress down man, shake it off... none of this means anything except that which is backed by the Spirit, and the Spirit can back whatever It deems necessary.... Isa 59:5 They hatch thingyatrice' eggs, and weave the spider's web: he that eateth of their eggs dieth, and that which is crushed breaketh out into a viper. Act 28:3 And when Paul had gathered a bundle of sticks, and laid [them] on the fire, there came a viper out of the heat, and fastened on his hand. there's a lesson there somewhere......

Good for you GIT. Sometimes it is difficult to defend the undefendable. Or to kick on nails.

I often think that when I ask the good folk on the TMB to tell me what church they belong to so I can Google it, and get no reply.

Sorry to see you go GIT -- but I understand that it isn't easy to remain true to 2x2 thinking, and at the same time, to have to deal with the message of so many of those who have experienced so much of the dark side of 2x2ism. Choosing to close your thinking to it, is perhaps one of the only effective ways to deal with the unsightly paradoxes that fill group policy.
Choosing to turn your head the other way, and taking the other side of the road is one of the few options if reality is to be avoided. It IS an option open to all. But it comes at the price of integrity -- Think it over.

I think GIT can handle the theological debate, such as it is. It is the unregenerate and ungodly behavior that upsets him.
