Feeling Unwelcome in some Christian Circles

[SuziTiri]

Because of who i am and I am not allowed to talk about who i am on this General Forum...its very hard to make a point without getting kicked out for just being myself...its not just on here (not Moderate Christians you guys are great) ..why do i need to be bullied into hiding stuff that all straight Christians can talk about with out fear of being thrown out or attacked on. Why must I feel like im being evil just to say "my GF and I went to coffee today".

Any ideas, suggestions to get around this on here and other sites or should i avoid it all together and go to where I am totally accepted both as a person and a Christian. ?

I almost left this forum in tears because I felt so unwelcome

I'm sure that you could talk about almost any subject under the Sun and have no problem so long as it's not that subject. Is it all that defines you as a person or interests you?

If so, another forum probably would seem more welcoming, that's right. If not, welcome aboard.

it doesn't define me as a person at all or interests me at all
but if i have to avoid and hide parts of my life i bid adeu

so nice nice to meet you all but I don't fit well here at all...no point trying to be somewhere where i have to hide part of my life and others don't have to.
takes alot of soul searching...for those who don't have to hide part of their life,,,
i wish you all a wonderful happy time here because at least you can speak
for those who can't


God Bless....

You can talk about it and find some sympathetic ears in WWMC (the liberal forum), but "promoting it" is against the CF rules and WWMC doesn't have an exemption.

thankyou..,I will be on this Forum but only superficially and i won't engage in controversial topics or debate with anyone unless its something like health care,,,if some topic comes up where i feel my rights are infringed upon i will decline in the discussion

God Bless

Well I hope you do stay, as not everyone is like that. My moderate views are what have put me on edge with the Catholic church, so I understand feeling like an outcast. PM me any time you want to talk.


But if you choose to find a forum more accepting we understand.

This may be a bridge-builders forum. However I don't know who decides what bridges.

I am a little lost. What is THAT SUBJECT?

Apparently, the problem has been resolved.

Welcome

Gotcha and that's good

You can feel free to speak to me about THAT, or any subject. It saddens me that so-called christians would make you feel unwelcome for ANY reason. I thought christianity was all about realizing that none of us is in a position to judge anyone. I may not be making a lot of friends with this comment, but I don't care. The grace of God is open to all, period.

I have had a similar experience. I dont know if I will start too many threads because I dont see how my thread violated the rules but I am still on here responding to threads. Plus I have met a few awsome people on the PMs.

Welcome.

I know my stance towards your subject, but that does not stop me from being your friend/s or treating you any differently than I would anyone else. Yes we may have differences but I am above the need to project my insecurities.

God bless

If we are talking about a sin that is different than a temptation.
Everyone is tempted from different things from time to time. We do not
come together to try and justify any sin, but encourage one another to turn from temptation and sin.
If it is our friends that are involved, that can be difficult. However just answer them as you would answer Jesus on what ever lifestyle or temptation that comes to mind.
Coming on a forum should be to seek and see if those on the forum could use encouragement. That alone can relieve you from needing to talk about things that might tempt you or your friends.
Whatsoever things are pure, good, honest, think on these things.
Be pleased that Jesus loves you, that is enough.

Nice to meet you!
Do you play music?

God Bless.

I do ! sing and play keyboard music is wonderful

 

[SuziTiri]

I come with an open heart and give encouragement and love because we all need it


yes it has been resolved,,,God Bless
