This reminds me of when I was on a merry go round when I was a kid and no one stopped it so we could get off. Keep it going we are having a free ride. Wonder what professing people think when they are paying review005 to write on this board when most of them would not dare to tread on such dangerous ground. I see where you're coming from on this, but I think TMB is review's outlet. Everyone needs an outlet. I have a large extended family with many current and ex workers, and review's online trolling is just as valid an outlet as another worker's extreme exercise or whittling or p0rn (not something I agree with, but common.) Most of us can "let down our hair" in our own homes with family and friends. I think it's unreasonable to expect the workers to be on the clock 100% of the time. And if review really is a worker (sometimes I'm convinced he's a sock puppet!) his posts provide some helpful insight to TMB readers, one way or another! |

Sarcasm extraordinare, well done! And she made it work in text on a message board! Well, done. Very few other than the "Rat in the Hat" could have accomplished it so well! (The Rat in the Hat, for those unfamiliar with it, is a never ending and ever expanding mostly oral children's story filled with a wide array of animals including a rat with a magic hat who often replies with sarcasm.) I'm well up with Rat in the Hat these days Rational and I have to say he's a bit naughty and not opposed to telling fibs! Thank goodness B1 & B2 are good guys! |

Ross your comment is very humorous; however it reveals you are quite missing the point. Seems you haven't read the thread or understood? Erm, I'd say there's a good chance you're the one missing the point Rev. PS I hear egg white is good for your complection. You must have lovely skin  |

Of course my employer allows it. I allow it as I am self employed. I do not get paid for my time on this board. No work, no pay. You know what the punishment is for spending company's time writing on message boards? But then, this board is about the 2x2s, truth or whatever you call it, so you are working for your cause by being on this board. Not sure if it is your job description though. Reverend is the 2x2 Online Marketing Manager .... True story Mary |

I have wondered for quite awhile if TMB is his/her outlet for his/her anger.
Why the anger, I don't know.
I have some ideas; better not stated.
However, it is really more than just "letting down one's hair."
The content of the posts are downright sadistic!
Their content seems bent on causing as much pain as possible.
There has been other posters here that show a lack of empathy with others and lack of compassion; but I don't believe anyone can top Review; quite a status of dis-honor.
If he/she is really a worker, I am certainly glad I don't know them in any personal way, -although I knew one close to that and it was a she!-
(I'm assuming that the poster is a HE, but I really don't know, of course)

No, I have yet to see a response. It is difficult to have a discussion when the quotes being provided are the result of a slight rearrangement of the actual text to derive the meaning one needs. I have also found that some posters have a difficult time admitting they made an error even when presented with the facts. a) You know the content of the officer's document without needing me to re state it. If you wish to make some point please do so. You don't require any input from me to do that. Or Mrs blackberry can state it and make her point. b) I well understand the reason you are asking me to restate it. c) The 'mulberry bush' that would lead us to has already been circumnavigated at least twice already on this thread. Once by another poster and at least once by me. Another time consuming rational circumnavigation doesn't appeal. If you were unable to agree with the point made in round one, two or three of the Elbert County white mulberry bush circular discussion then I suggest you and Mrs blackberry join matt 10 and I in the fly on the wall ring side seats when a just judge seeks explanation from the Sgt of the meaning of the statement from his undated public document. Or if you will & Mrs berry are unable to attend please by all means consider that I have made an error. You are right and I wrong is fine with me. But you'll be missing a bit of fancy footwork in the ring;someone on his back foot.  Why would a judge be seeking an explanation of the sgt of the meaning of the statement of his undated public document. Will the sarge be on trial for something? I would have thought that the judge will be adjudicating in the trial of LW and what he gets up to. |

And since I'm supposed to be a fly on the wall at this great event I'm even more intrigued as to why the document would be submitted and by whom. Would the prosecution seek to submit it as evidence and, if so, for what purpose? Or would the defence seek to submit it as evidence and, if so, for what purpose? Furthermore is it normal practice for judges to question witnesses in criminal trials in that jurisdiction? A lot of questions and, based on previous form, don't expect a lot of answers. Matt10 |

Now Matt 10 it is very encouraging to see you have all these unanswered questions. Well I have two suggestions for where you get all your questions answered: How about putting aside this atheist notion of things that you have and getting yourself along to some of the gospel meetings again? You'd then be ready to give your testimony in the upcoming convention season there? Now if you are minded to baulk at that one (which I kind of fear you might do) then how about a trip out to Sydney Australia? There is one anglican evangelical 'man of the cloth' out there and to be sure it's hard to know if he is a man or angel by the write up he gets on this forum. He'll be happy to talk to you for hours about atheism, cult behaviour of 2x2s, flies on walls, white mulberry bushes, Matt 10 ministries, Matt 28 ministries etc etc. They have dozens of young people making decisions for Christ every Sunday and they enjoy lovely fellowships with the happy clappy pentecostal types too we are told. So there won't be a dull moment. Of course there is a very nice ex 2x2 chap that you'd meet at church there and if the minister chap doesn't have all the answers you need this other chap will. As you say a lot of questions and from previous form you can expect a lot of answers out there in Sydney. But of course do check them to see if they have any more substance and correctness than those we get placed before us here. Better yet Matt10 you could get yourself along to one of the conventions The Rev's going to be at and listen to his sermon about mulberry trees. He seems to have them on his mind so much lately I'm afraid that's what might come out! |

Matt10 If the following took place: (1) LW waives a jury trial in writing, (2) the state consents, and (3) the court approves there could be a bench trial. If the provenance of the two letters in question is verified then the state could use them to point out LW's propensity for prevarication. |

I do not get paid for my time on this board, that's the truth. I only get paid for the work I do. I wish I got paid for my time on this board! But as long as clients have large databases, slow CPUs, and complex reports I have a fair amount of waiting time. |

Thanks for providing an answer and an intelligent one at that. I'd almost given up. Many round here behave as if they have all the answers but inevitably are found wanting once they come face to face with the questions. Matt10 |

Seems as if snow is keeping you on your toes and on the straight and narrow, review, making sure you are not going off track. It is nice you apologised but hey, you have a long way to go to catch up with our moderator Scott but there's hope and I have faith you will get there with a bit of hard work from you and patience from us.

Mary hope your conscience is working better than it has been & that you made that post before clocking in for the day. Hardly fair on the client otherwise. Do you know what type of work Mary does? Or the arrangement she has with the entity that pays her? Have you ever been in the consulting business? Seems like you are casting stones at random and without a clear purpose. I mean, it couldn't be that you are simply finding something she is doing that you can use to condemn her. No, no one would do that! On the other hand, I am not sure why anyone would care or comment on how you spend your spare time. I can see how it might be beneficial for a preacher to gain as much insight as possible. |

I have no problem answering you and was happy to provide you with an answer. No shaming technique unless that is your motive for asking me. No shame intended from me. I have no problem answering questions. Im not a worker in the sense you are and am happy to pass my well earned wisdom onto the world. I commend you for your interest in my life. Why hide my light under a bushell?

Um Review005, Matt10 is not an atheist. You are quite right Snow. He is not an atheist, he a non-believer in the Christian God. Where I mentioned 'atheist' should read 'non-believer in the Christian God'. My apologies to Matt 10 for any offence caused by the use of the atheist word in reference to him. I see Scott and WhatHat have also made this mistake, so I am in good company! Yes you aren't alone in that and they are good company. |

Excellent Rational! I agree! I have. no idea of how that woman charges her time and much less interest. And you you chose to comment. People will do that from time to time. I am just glad no one ever takes a crack at atheists! If they do I hope I can continue to take the high road and not sink to their level.This is a little like someone claiming that a comment made them feel guilty. No one can make another person feel guilty. They have to do that all by themselves. The same is true with shame. No one can make you feel shame. |

"I have one good friend, good man, open minded liberal man who understands our church is not perfect. He does think our church is 'The Truth' and 'we are the only ones going to heaven'. "
Quoted by Review.

It would be wonderful if the friends had a place they felt safe to openly discuss issues without being bothered too much by exes' opinions if that is what is keeping them from participating here. Maybe there is one we don't know of? *edited because somehow rational's name showed up instead of review's because of my sloppy cut and paste to shorten the quote. Apologies! |

I have one good friend, good man, open minded liberal man who understands our church is not perfect. He does think our church is 'The Truth' and 'we are the only ones going to heaven'. He looked at the forum and his comment was 'I can't see anything of God there'. Too bad, people like him could contribute very meaningfully and helpfully on the forum. Ouch! I guess that's not much of a recommendation for your posts Rev. And I was just wondering, although you've quoted it like your friend said it, was it you who told him 'we are the only ones going to heaven'? Just interested to know what you think on that. |

correction.... I have one good friend, good man, open minded liberal man who understands our church is not perfect. He does not think our church is 'The Truth' and 'we are the only ones going to heaven'. review, what do you mean that "he does not think our church is the truth"? Does he think it's false? Why would anyone want to be part of a church that they didn't believe held the truth? |

Why would anyone want to be part of a church that they didn't believe held the truth? This raises a good question. If the church you belong to does hold the truth what about all the others they do not hold that same truth? It is difficult to think about there being different versions of the truth. The implication is that other churches are wrong. This is supported by christianity but is it also supported by the various 'flavors' of christianity? |

Why would anyone want to be part of a church that they didn't believe held the truth? I think the answer is in review's post right above yours, where he states, "Truth is Jesus Christ alone." He did not say that the church we are discussing on here doesn't hold truth or isn't a supportive environment in which to seek eternal truths. I think the point is, no church is "truth" in and of itself.

Why would anyone want to be part of a church that they didn't believe held the truth? Poor Review005, he can't win. People get upset when he said it was the truth and the only way and people get upset when he corrects it and says it's not the only way. I imagine it is a requirement within the realm of religious beliefs that people do believe that there religion is right. What I don't understand is the war between the various denominations of the same religion. One more reason I just don't fit. |
