Several of mine have already been listed and it makes me glad to know I'm not the only one who gets bothered by them. As for my additions they are-> -When people make claims that my hobbies aren't appropriate for a Christian because they are expensive and time consuming. It gets really bad when...

I'm sure that Battle Cry has taught you that the Mormons are the enemy, and your entitled to that belief. However, the rest of us are free to believe that you and Battle Lie are mistaken. If you wish to change our minds, your best bet would be to provide more sources and actually write your...

And as I said, I don't think that they were socialist, just that they sat closer to that particular end of the spectrum then a lot of Christians today would like to believe. Sort of the same way brownies aren't cake, but on the baked goods spectrum they are closer to the cake end then they are...

I don't know that either Jesus or the early church were necessarily socialist, however, I think that the early church more then likely sat closer to that end of the spectrum then a lot of modern Christians would like to believe. After all they did hold all things in common and provided for their...

Yep!

What the hey, might as well add my name to the list.

I'd be kicked out on my hind end if I had to affirm the Athanasian Creed to be a member of my church as there is no way I can say that I think certain things are necessary for salvation. God is quite free to save whomever he chooses, and I wouldn't be surprised if that includes people who by any...

I'm one of those that in theory support it, but in practice doesn't. If there was a way to prove 100% with out any sort of doubt (they were caught in the act, the person confessed, was able to tell the police things only the criminal would know, was able to show them the locations of the bodies...

Short sleeves. For the first time in a few years my arms are clear enough that I don't have to wear long sleeves all the time and I'm looking forward to a St. Louis summer that I can actually go out and enjoy.

Paul's letters. He drives me nuts and makes me want to either hug him or throw my Bible through the window. What is cultural and what is should still be followed? What is actually Paul and what has been written in to him by scribes? Revelation stopped being confusing when I came to the...

I sew or bake. My parents can tell how bad of a night (and nights totally are the worst) I had by what I've made the night before.

Oh, its difficult to get the people in my church to agree on anything. But nobody acts like anyone that doesn't agree with them isn't a Christian, and all the discussions are carried out with loving attitudes, which is why I've found refuge there because they are willing to put up with me and...

I struggle alot with Paul. I think he's a goober and that Christians rely on him far more then they should, but at the same time because I was raised in a Southern Baptist church that was considered to be legalistic even by the other Southern Baptists churches I still have this deep seated...

I'd love not to, really I would, but I can't keep it. I'd been thinking about it for awhile and reading what I did today just finally brought it to the point where I wouldn't feel right with it there, even if it was hidden. Take StarJewel as an example. He is the most Christ like person I know...

Oh hey that's me! Anyway, not to hijack seebs thread but I'm figure I ought to say goodbye too. I didn't post a whole lot here, but I loved reading the discussions (and will continue to do so). I've learned alot from you all, the main thing being that sometimes you can't keep quiet when you see...

My direct experience was with D2S, but my fight is with all the groups that want to turn teenagers in to nothing more then a mob of mindless zombies who are only capable of regurgitating what they’ve been feed by the people behind D2S, Atf, and BC...

It seems BC teaches you to call others liars. I have proof. Would you like me to scan you pictures of the scars on my arms? Would you like me to see if I can get ahold of my admitting photos from the first time I was in the hospital? Or how about the ones from my last in patient stay when I...

I have brought up no personal names, so I don’t feel I have slandered anyone. But I will continue to stand by my statement that there is something severely wrong with these organizations. They are dangerous and something ought to be done about them. Yes, my experiences with them are personal...

What can be done is that these bad apples can be removed. You don’t leave a bad apple in a barrel or bag with other apples because it will end up spoiling all the other apples. And if you think I’m in the wrong by stating my claims as fact, then you need to stop doing the same thing. You can...

I can’t say it any better then Harpuia. The fact is that these organizations encourage teens to be this way. Those that go in with a “your different then me, so therefore your trash” attitude aren’t told that their attitude is wrong, and those that go in with out that attitude either quickly...
