I have been reading some of the attacks by the anonymous ones against Edgar, Daisy and A Believer. Disappointing. I am sure many professing folks here are disappointed as these hit and run snipers. Deep down these snipers feel their comfort zone falling apart and they are defensive about it. I know these people like a book because I was once one! Been there and done that. They resent it when someone reveals inside information of the secretive behavior of some overseers. These hit and run snipers are slowly losing confidence in their faith and they are mad at the ones who are exposing these things. It hurts, honey. It hurts. Otherwise these people would be praising the meetings and workers. They wouldn't need to defend their faith, if they were really happy!
I am sure their workers wouldn't want "God's people associating with the enemies of God's way!" And I know most workers wouldn't want their flock attacking bitter exes. They would tell them to ignore them, pray for them or forget them.

If these professing folks think they are attracting others to their fellowship, they better think again! They are hurting their cause worse than the so called "bitter exes!" yep! Where is the right spirit that workers encourage from their friends at meetings and conventions?
If these professing folks think the "bitter exes" are so evil, why do these professing folks stoop lower in their anonymous attacks?

I believe that there are a number of "bitter exes" who are so desperately embittered as to the 2x2 faith, that they will even stoop to the level of lies; anything to make 2x2ism look bad.
Look, if those of you who are "exes" have honest grievances against your former faith...please, there is no reason whatsoever to confabulate. Engage in honest hearted dialogue, and check your hatefulness at the door.
I understand that some of the exes, may indeed have legitimate grievances...but must you (in rejecting 2x2ism, also reject Christian love. I know that many exes are truly & lovingly Christian in spirit....may those of you dwell in anger, & contempt reveal that you yet love the spirit and the principles of Jesus Christ.

Love one another... is the most important commandment, whether 2x2 or not... the True Christian does this... a hint to all!

Love one another... is the most important commandment, whether 2x2 or not... the True Christian does this... a hint to all! A lady I used to work with years ago used to have a saying that she would always quote when somene would say I hate that person. She would say "Hate the action and not the person" another thing my mother used to say also is that "you can draw more flys with a little honey than with vinegar!!" Kindness goes a long ways even if we don't totally agree with someone!! Thanks InnocentQ good thing to be reminded of more often!!!

I would be interested in knowing how you can know which hit and run poster is professing and which is not. There may be some posting going on just to make the other side look bad.

Maybe the attackers are ex's who recognize "ex" Christians as versions of their former 2x2 selves, but on steroids. More self righteous, superior, and condeming of other churches, pointedly the 2x2's.
