  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Haha. I remember visiting a church once where a teacher from my old high school attends. He was the deacon in charge of the prayer after the service and he did very strange things to his vowels.

"We praaaaaaaaaaaaaay for Mrs. M- oh Loooooooooooorrrd. Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeal her todaaaaaaaaaaaaay. Restore her streeeeeeeeeeength oh Looooooooorrrrrrd."

It was very, very weird. Especially since he never talked like that at all in class or in normal conversation.


Oh man, that sounds like Ernest Angley doing a healing service.

"In the naaaaaaaaaaaaaaame of Jeeeeeeeeeeesuuuuuuuus... demon of alcoholism come OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOUT!!!"

I'm not feeling well at all today. I'm trying not to let it get to me, but it is.
I'm just not sure about a few things and I wish life wasn't so hard. I'm tired, I really am. I would love for the world just to end right now so I can live in peace with my Savior. I realize that wouldn't be the right thing, I need to be strong and figure things out before He comes. I'm just confused and I don't know what to think.

Why do people do that? It's not like we need to speak in a special way to be heard by God. Or demons either, I guess.

Maybe they think that the supernatural realm is like this police station:

I have somewhat become annoyed that random people here reference my name to Egg Nog. Its not Egg Non!

Its Ethnography. ETHNOG-RAPHY!

Now for my friends here..I don't mind, just the random ones who make it a really bad joke.

Kids, that's my rant. They just need to go back to school. I think I'm going to vote in favor of year round school this year. That'll show 'em.

^_^
Working at a year round school, I can say I am thankful, but need the rest.


Chad, I don't know how it got started. I think it was when I first joined.

Any one else living in Georgia getting sick of these Roy Barnes political ads? Especially the ones that don't make any sense.

"Georgia is the Saudi Arabia of America..."

Uh...we force our women to wear niqabs? What?

Maybe he just means it's oily.

And every time I hear his slogan, "Roy Barnes will make Georgia work," I think of Hebrews working on the pyramids...

It's hard for me to imagine a politician putting people to work in any other way. But then my political philosophy boils down to "gov't GTFO my way" so maybe I'm a little biased. :D

The Saudi Arabia of America... what's he mean by that? Oil country, gigantic malls, and lots of Muslims don't come to mind when I think of Georgia.

Why must I work with people who don't want to do their jobs? I just ask for help. Put this hear and don't make me walk over to double check it. You are an adult. can you please do this for me. I'm tired. I'm drained. I'm the worst teacher in the world. =*(

People like that are everywhere. I'm not an infallible employer, but I try to do a good job to the utmost of my ability, and I take correction/criticism with grace. But there are people where I work, too, who can't seem to fix or mend their ways, and act like kids when criticism/correction comes. Many haven't grown out of their high school stoner days, I guess. :|

My kids take my criticism better. I've had meetings after meetings about this.
I'm so tired. And I know that when things go wrong they blame me for it. Because I should have stopped it. But, how many times can I try. How many times? How many times? :(

Every error needs a whipping boy, because few times are those to blame identified and rectified. The only true and sincere and flawless justice comes from God.

Where I'm working right now (a TV station) the production assistants are basically the whipping boys for producer error. A producer screws up, PA's are supposed to cover it, but if one error slips through, they get in trouble. Now they're losing a bunch of people who are moving on to other jobs, and I don't think they fully realize why. Perhaps you should find something better and leave as well ;) That might give them a wake up call.

I left four days on vacation and they flipped out. Still nothing. They take things for granted.
My favorite lines are, coming to me talking about someone else and excepting me to react. When they get nothing, they keep doing it. When they get nothing, they do it about me to others.

And then they tell me I have an "attitude." Really, I am the single most professional person in that place. I'm just exhusted.

Sounds like God has given you a cross to carry at your workplace. He gave one to me in my family. At this point only He is the strength and guidance you can really use. I will say that if you start feeling unappreciated there and that there is no room to grow, do what Babylonian merchants would do and "take your wares yet to another city" :thumbsup:
