Not allowed to fight for your faith in GT, but it's okay to fight against it. So be it.

Why do you want to fight against other people who place their trust and life in the hands of Yeshua but who might have reached some different conclusions on how to go about their daily walk? Iron doesn't sharpen iron in a sword fight, that is how the blades get destroyed. It is sharpened when one piece of metal is rubbed gently but firmly against another.

If you do go do know I have enjoyed some of your insights even when I haven't agreed. The only issue I have had is when you attack those who don't think and practice like you do.

Be well.

False brethren can be worse than infidels.

This is life. Even Jesus was opposed. Don't be discouraged by any opposition.

I completely understand. I was over it about two years ago now when I got a warning for 'flaming Islam'. This place hasn't improved a whit since then.

If you need to do it for your own spiritual sake, I understand. TAW is generally a decent refuge to recharge a bit. Traditional Theology is another place that is very worthwhile, depending on the effort we put into it.

But if you want to leave based on others, I'd urge you to pray and think about it. Yes, it sometimes falls on deaf ears when we share truth. Some people aren't ready, and given my own journey I believe God legitimately must bring people through stages sometimes. But even so ... there are many in whom a seed IS planted, even sometimes the ones that seem most antagonistic at times. You never know.

You will be missed if you leave. I want you to know that I owe you and @seashale76 especially a debt of gratitude just for your posting in GT. I possibly never would have found or considered Orthodoxy otherwise.

God be with you, dear brother.

And if it's a matter of mod issues ... not something we can discuss here but I do want to say that the rules are pretty specific. You can actually say almost anything you want (there are a few exceptions) but it's a question of where you say it and how. If anyone needs help to stay within the rules, it is available.

Take a break - then see how you feel

It's a pity to let a few people 'get to you ' like that

I broke no rules. I just shared my heart. I cant expect people to understand me, and my faith is God given, so i will walk in it as best i can. As for OrthodoxyUSA goes, i surely understand his frustration. This website frustrates me a lot too.

I have always stayed out of GT. But you can't always defend Orthodoxy even in TAW, so I can definitely imagine leaving.

God bless you! Fair wind and following sea! And if youmdo drop,in, and I am still here, I'll be happy to "see" you!
