Why do we as in the fellowship remain on this board? which only helps to perpetuate the sickness on this board of anger, hate, sarcasm, innuendo, rudeness and the such like. I have posted here and read here and have been told I tell lies, have been laughed at, had fun poked at and have had deep pain in my heart from things said here. Over the past years I have found very little that would edify the soul, feed the soul. I have found a great deal feeds human nature. This a very good place for satan to ear his views which get latched onto very quickly. Even to say that that is crap is just the language, attitude is just the thing satan delights in. Anything which does not promote the Christ in humility and love satan delights in. This board is the best place I know of where satan is promoted so vigorously. This is my last post to this board and I ask for those of our fellowship to do the same.

I feel there are a number of good things to learn from this board. Some Christian things that I never heard in meetings and some food for the soul.
Some people attack from time to time but mostly people have their say and that is accepted. I find some of the anger and hate comes from those in meetings. I sat under the workers preaching for 30 + years and listened to Christians outside of meetings being attacked and put down. The only edifying thing I found in meetings was that which reassured me that our group was right and every other group was of Satan.
In fact the few times I did take someone to meeting they remarked about how the workers put down other churches and the self righteous attitude of those in meetings and their unwillingness to hear others outside of their group. That was the thing they noticed the most. I feel that the workers create this negative atmosphere for those outside of their little group which now when turned the other way those in meetings don't like it. I feel there is a lot of bitterness of those in meetings to wards outsiders and this is fostered by the teachings of the group. I feel a lot of the anger on this board is justified and necessary to heal from the years that many have been robbed of through the wrong teachings of the group. Mostly to me was being robbed of the fellowship with other Christians and the attitude towards those outside our group. I'm not angry, jsut dissapointed that I too believed some of these things that were preached.
Thanks for your input 'concerned' and may God be with you as you continue your journey with Him. God bless....

I don't believe it's your place to ask any of us to quit posting, viewing, or coming here. I can understand your point of view, don't fully agree, but am able to be open about it.
You learn to see through the surface, the offenses, and really look at the meaningful things some people have to post- that which can be encouraging, eye opening, and useful for the soul.

I sense the wrong spirit has its way in unpersonal communication, of which at least 80% of posters have n clue who they are sharing with, andf where silence is not appreciated, and any one rebutal, can throw a topic into a spinzone, [much to the delight of the spinster] Oh well, not a good place to expect any spiritual food, but like the 'dumpsters' out in the alleyways, there are a few token morsels that can provide a token sustenense for those of us not able to find a better source.

Once you know the truth about Irvine, you should go. Study the Bible. Talk to all those "apostate, worldly" Christians who could never be saved that you heard about all your life. . That's what I did. And they proved wrong -- ALL that was taught me in my childhood.
It's Jesus Christ who is the head of the Church. And any church who has Christ is His body. It is a part of the body of Christ.
You should go. If you know ANYTHING about WI, just go. Study the real thing. Go straight to the Word of God. Talk to people face to face, not this kind of forum. You don't know who they are.
No one will ever know that you were here, right? God knows and sees all.
For the eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth to show himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward him . . . II Chron 16:9
The truth is only in desperate prayer and the Word of God.
Christ's Forever, Jessi

Each of us need to remember that this is a public board. As is the assortment of people God has placed on this earth, so are the participaters on this list -- every size and shape of opinion and understanding that exists!!
As it is with the people we live amongst on this earth, it is easy to dispise some of the thoughts and postings of people we don't understand. --- Really that is our problem -- not theirs. We don't have to read what we don't want to read --- and really it is a fairly easy task to quickly sift through the stuff that occupies someones elses wave-length more than our own.
On thing I have learned, is that 'scolding' the folks who post what we may regard as unsuitable is an extremely counter productive exercise. Either ignore the things that annoy us, and if we can't handle that, move on to a different thread (or board).
Remember that inspite of the problems that turn up - there are people who find the board very helpful!! Be thankful for their sake!!

The below post about this topic was said in another thread but may be more appropriate here. I think its author may have been referring to the original author of this thread.)

Sickness of this board.
Remove the word "sickness" and replace with "honesty", now that could make one sick.
My young son once told me " the truth may hurt, for a while, but a lie hurts forever"
Out of the mouths of babes.

I for one come here and always end up getting reminded again why I continue to go to the meetings. I would rather get to know just about any Christian than the ex's here. I hope the rest of them aren't like these. Fair thee well, Fellow concerned

I would have to say that the people that are still in are the ones that generally get mad and out of sorts, calling names, telling half truths and talking in circles deliberately, all trying to defend their indefensible position. (no wonder they're upset!) Oh well, adios to you both!

I could presume by your silent answer that you are in agreement, but I'd prefer that you stated your position rather than rolls your eyes to symbolize your non-position.
