Foru.ms - a new beginning and a fresh start (2)

[Esquire]

You were also a member of the Executive Committee. I think it overlapped with my time as Ombudsman for a bit.

See, Esq., it's complicated.

Frankly sir it seems quite simple. It doesn't take long to figure out.

Why be defensive? I do not here anyone complaining. I only see reasonable questions and nothing more.

Defensive? I didn't see anything defensive just an explanation.

I was not asking you. The question was directed elsewhere.

Using Paul’s example of his imprisonment (chained daily to Roman soldiers in his own house) resulted in the spread of the gospel within the elite imperial praetorian guard. The Apostle was undoubtedly continuing to rejoice in the Lord, but if he had been complaining, sulking, and bitter, his witness would have been zero.

The more spiritual a man desires to be, the more bitter does his present life become to him; because he sees more clearly and perceives more sensibly the defects of human corruption. Thomas a Kempis

You could have fooled me. Remember some people can read between the lines

Your between the lines, and actual lines, indicate you are a sock

and not everyone is distracted by smoke and mirrors.

A sock talking about smoke and mirrors? Roflcopter.

Did you begin the discussion on this name change that everyone is so upset about or not?

Considering the position you once held I am sure you do. Shame on Erwin for not refunding site supporter money, while it may not be actionable according to you was it ethical or even Christyian to betray the site supporters and change the whole site and still use their momney to run it?

I guess I don't understand the whole "betrayal" thing that cropped up with the name change. Just because the name of a thing is "Christian" that doesn't make it more or less christian.

Perhaps I am too cynical from having seen too many scams perpetrated with the name "christian" attached to them. I'm afraid I don't put a lot of stock in the word "christian". I prefer to look at what is actually done and never mind the name.

You asked in an OPEN forum.
If you wanted only one person to respond, it's best to PM them.

We need to have a "Guess the Sock" competition.

Then look at it honestly and tell me if people were not betrayed, many feel as if they were. Was it ethical to change everything and keep money which was donated for a different name and vision? Was it ethical? Last night you said no. I hope you dont sway in the wind in terms of what you say and believe.

Interesting. Now Mr. Stevedj did you or did you not start this discussion regarding a name change? That seems like an easy question.

And do you think Paul failed to preach the Gospel? Do you think he failed to tell the Guard that he was a lost sinner destined for an eternity of torment?

Considering his epistles I doubt he failed in these things that we are not permitted to do here.

Since he is bashful I will answer that one. According to Erwin earlier he hadnt thought of doing it until he was directed to a poll

Hmm I missed that rule.
Where is it posted in the rules that you can't preach the Gospel ?

Now remember that lying is an abomination to the lord.
