If you are frustrated......

[seajoy]

.....come on over here and vent. I, for one, am going to get into trouble if I keep going into the ND forum.

This all started because "offensive" came over here and got in our faces over something that was none of his business.

 

[seajoy]

Couldn't TGIO's name be a mockery or blasphemous? One could twist that around long enough to make it so.

 

[QuiltAngel]

Yep, I need to stop checking on that thread too.

This other person is also a piece of work too. Grrrrr.

The more I read Jerushabelle's post the more it frustrates me. She does not get why the OP in the thread here did not want her posting and then says we are doing the same thing in the ND forum. The OP there did not specify who could answer and we are trying to help them to understand what happened here. Accusing us of changing God's Word when it comes to the commandments.

Oops, better stop before I get too upset about it all. Am not sleeping tonight either. I am so tired too.

where is that brick wall icon that stude is so enamored with?? i have never needed to bang my head against something hard so badly as i do right now - maybe if i bang my head hard enough, well, if i go into a coma i won't be looking at that doggone forum anymore.....

 

[QuiltAngel]

Well, it could be. But, the Gospel is offensive to those who do not believe.

You beat me to it.

 

[QuiltAngel]

Yeah, I know what you mean. Sorry I dragged you all over there. Just was so frustrating to me. Tried to have a PM chat with Jeruhabelle, but she is something else too.

 

[seajoy]

Yep - I'm just saying if one twists something around enough, like he is doing concerning that video. He has turned it into something that it was never intended to be.

 

[QuiltAngel]

I guess that the portrayal in that video was so accurate that they have to be offended by it. Why else are they making a big deal of it.

 

[Studeclunker]

LOL, dealing with those people is very much like banging one's head against a wall! Tell ya what, I'll load two of those, one for you, and one for me!

Here ya go:



See the problem, is that Jerushabelle thinks everything we say is wrong because we're just shirt-tail Catholics (which is, LOL, not too far from the truth). Thus, she will take offense with every inferrence and comment. The problem is, they just don't understand and are prejudiced against anything you say. That's why I stay away from those people.

LOL, the Revrand seems to be close to this point:

It's not that I'm so enamoured with it, I just feel that way so much, Mum. Anyway, if you want to browse, the site is here: ø Smileys - Free Smileys | Forum Smileys | Smiley Icons | Smiley Emoticons | My Smiley ø

My favourite one is actually the winker and the exploding one. The latter really describes my temper sometimes.

Quite correct (I would guess) and not. Not having seen the video, I wouldn't know precisely. However, I go back to the idea that they feel we're making fun of, and talking down to them. The one fellow I could care less about. Jerushabelle is honestly defending her beliefs, mistakenly thinking we are attacking her. Trust me, you will never get her to understand. Not in that thread you won't. Her mind is made up and all you are doing is confusing her with facts.

My Mum used to say that sometimes you have to appologise for being right (nicely, no sarcasm), even though it sticks in your throat. It then opens the door for you to deal with the other person's error later. Wish I was better at it...

 

[QuiltAngel]

Yeah, confusing here with facts. That does seem to be happening. Show her using the Bible about the 10 commandments and she points to the Small Catechism and thinks that is revising the Bible.

I am out of there too. I tired to have a civil discussion, but it is not going to happen. It is people like this who think we are hard to get along with. Yet, they defend their doctrines as adamantly as we do and that is to be expected.

 

[Bryne]

I am frustrated because I asked for help here, and was totally ignored.

As for the ND people...yeah, it is frustrating when they get their knickers in a twist over how the commandments are numbered...it isn't like we took verses out of the Bible or anything.

Uhm, somehow I did miss it that you asked for help. What is it you need?

 

[QuiltAngel]

Would someone explain to me how that video is blasphemy? What is blasphemy and how is this TGIO meaning it?

I don't see it as blasphemy at all.

 

[alexnbethmom]

bryne - i must have missed it too - what did you need help with??

QA - according to him, it was blasphemy because he was taking the Lord's name in vain, and because it was "mocking speaking in tongues" - that was his big beef.

Knickers in a twist? LMAO!

Oh my... Yes I see your point. All the same, part of the problem is that the one lady thinks we are talking down to her in her home forum. The fact is, we (I include myself here) were talking to a doofus who didn't have the spine to answer questions straight and just wanted to stir up trouble. In that he succeeded, in both forums. He's good at it too. The pity is that Jerushabelle got dragged into it (she did so willingly though) and now has a bad taste of Lutherans. In the defense of the people from this forum though, I seem to recall the lady caused a bit of trouble here some time ago. So it could be that she thought it was her turn to 'defend the fortress of sanctity.' Who knows? LOL, she did get her knickers in a twist though, didn't she (LMAO)?

 

[QuiltAngel]

Okay, I am still trying to figure out where this guy in the video took the Lord's name in vain. I agree that he was poking fun at the charismatics.

 

[alexnbethmom]

aaahhh, yes......knickers in a twist.......one of my favorite sayings......along with the sequel, "panties in a bunch"......not quite as eloquent, but it does get the point across....LOLOL

yes, QA - he was making fun of charismatics - not Jesus. i think that video hit too close to home and they just got all defensive about it.....

 

[QuiltAngel]

Therefore, he will continue to think that we do not know what blasphemy is since we don't see any blasphemy in the video.

I so do not like it when those of other denominations come in here to stir up trouble and then whine that we aren't playing nice.

Well, I think I might be able to get some sleep now.
