MsJL said:The list...
At this point, should anyone else but me be on it?
Seems to me, they have a different goal over there.
Tell you what: Someone think about posting the thread from last October 18th, the slander of me that HW posted and the mods wouldn't deal with (except to shut down and ban, etc.) - if people need to know the history. I think they do.
TenderWarrior1 said:I've seen it way too many times... the people that insist that Christians shouldn't be negatively affected by just such circumstances... and as a result, we shouldn't discuss it... that we should simply hold our chin up high and take it - and that if we show any vulnerability at all (or a need to discuss it and seek support from those who love us), well then, we just aren't being very good Christians. It drives me nuts... and is a complete distortion of the truth. That's why you will find a lot of people trying to control you from sharing your pain and speaking out when you have been wronged.

(That, and how Dude and I became friends... I really don't think I'll ever get over that. )
I got a PM and I have to post 5 times before I can read it. So, I'm going to post and post and read it.TenderWarrior1 said:Another newbie! Pull up a chair and make yourself comfortable Ks. Glad you've decided to post!
Dude? Got a chair in your graphics grab bag for our new friend?

I suppose I'm allowed to cross post my own words
Does circumcision hurt?
If I want the "renewed mind" of Rom 12:1-2; if I want to really be able to love God with ALL heart, soul, mind, strength, then I believe I must submit to circumcision of the heart. I must invite GOD to remove the band of flesh, all the bitter roots, to tear them out. Only then can the Holy Spirit flow freely.
I must cleanse the clay vessel that is me, if I am to be used for anything noble: 2Ti 2:21 If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the master's use, and prepared unto every good work.
It is extremely painful, but constructive pain.
CS Lewis wrote a great word picture. Book 3 in the Chronicles of Narnia "The Voyage of the Dawn Treader" tells of Eustace a tiresome, unpleasant boy, "perfectly beastly". He turned into a dragon and was stuck in that condition for some time. Then he met Aslan and followed him to a well. The lion said he must undress to enter. Eustace peeled off three dragon skins but found himself yet a dragon.

I've seen you here often when the issues flare up - what's your screenname at FL? I don't recognize it.
