Infilitration Rule!

I said goodbye with an out clause


And no, you just complained that all your friends left and then blamed everyone else. Hardly quiet. At the same time you were trying to drive out certain ones and compel the mods to treat them as non-SDA.

Guess things don't change much.

You also said you're almost out the Adventist door, so I guess if I wanted to be petty like you're being, I'd express some rebellion in you voting here too.

But I'm not.

Can we PLEASE move on?

 

[tall73]

I am being petty? You railed on Night for an old goodbye post that he only posted because you questioned him in the first place.

And me saying something is being petty?

Here we go again on the out the door. I said I am deciding on a doctrine, yes. I said I may have to leave the pastorate yes. I never said whether I would leave the Adventist church, but said I would figure that out later. I may have to yes.

But you were trying to push out people who NEVER said they were leaving or even hinted at it.

And that is not petty?

No we can't move on when the inquisitions continue.

 

[TrustAndObey]

Tall, you guys keep posting these big goodbye threads and then you never leave.

I've seen several people do it, and it gets really old.

Maybe we should have a rule about it actually, because I see that rule on other forums. "NO DRAMATIC "I QUIT" THREADS."

It doesn't matter. I'm glad you stayed.

I hope Night stays and I hope Jonathan stays too.

 

[TrustAndObey]

I'm done asking people to stay.

If you want to, great, if you don't, great. I can't change anyone's mind and I'm not going to try to anymore.

And yes, you have said you might have to leave the Adventist church before Tall.

 

[tall73]

I posted one and said if the conversation got interesting I would post.

Woob has 3, 4, 5, something like that.

What is your point?

Did you EVER tell him to stop doing it?

No, you blamed everyone else.

You don't want people to stay or you wouldn't be trying to run them out every chance you get through theological inquisition.

 

[tall73]

And yes, you have said you might have to leave the Adventist church before Tall.

Yes,might, not will. I said it again above right before your post.

You on the other hand alleged this:

You also said you're almost out the Adventist door,

That is not the same thing, nor did I ever say that.

I have asked for someone to help me resolve my theological issues. That is not almost out the door or I would just go. I have written to folks off this site, talked to folks on this site, talked to a pastor friend in real life , and have read all the material I can, and will continue to do so until all avenues are exhausted. That is not almost out the door. That is trying to stay in.

But again, you want me to go. You haven't tried to help. You worked the mods to try and get rid of Statrei, and stormy and I certainly know you don't want me or my wife here.

You as much as told Ice to take a hike.

You are consistently saying to leave, then act as though you never did.

Hmmmmmmm.............. I wonder what exactly did I just join?

It's a passing cloud.

Unfortunately you just joined a divided forum. Sorry for the poor welcome.

Hmmmmmmm.............. I wonder what exactly did I just join?

What right do you have to join our happy family!?

Just Kidding, we really aren't so bad if you ignore 2/3's of what is written here.

As with any electronic forum you learn who has things of value to say an who does not. Hopefully you will enjoy the learning process though I know at times it is painful. And sometimes just as they taught us in grade school we have to "duck and cover".

 

[NightEternal]

I love NightEternal, but this is about his 3rd goodbye already. Or maybe it's the same one I don't know.

For the record, I have said goodbye twice. The first was not a definitive goodbye, merely a time out. I came back with the full intention of giving this forum another chance, but it was clear that certain things were never going to change. So, hence, the second one, which is the one I linked to. This one is actually my original goodbye post, expanded, edited, and more detailed. The second one has been deleted, as the mods did a censorship hatchet job on it until it longer truly represented my reasons for leaving. I have stood by this second one and have not been back in almost two months to dialogue here. It was also meant as a common courtesy to the friends I made here so they wouldn't wonder why I just disappeared without a word. I have only briefly made an appearance twice since then to correct certain misleading and incorrect accusations made about me in my absence.

As for my goodbye post, certain things needed to be said publicly on this forum and I stand by them still. Rather than write it off as merely a dramatic exit, why not see if there may perhaps be some validity or merit in some of my observations?

I suppose that would just make too much sense though.

 

[JonMiller]

In forums I frequent, there are generally 1-3 goodbye posts per week. Most of them do come back (more so then this forum, that is for sure).

I don't really see what th big deal is.

You would think.

Wait. Tall thought/is thinking about leaving??? This totally skipped by me.

I really hope you can find the answers to the doctrine you're questioning, Tall. It'd be sad to lose you. You were one of the first people I met here.

I doubt I'd be able to help much..because I'm still so new of a Christian, but I must admit I'm curious as to what it is you're questioning. Of course, this isn't the place to address that. If you ever felt like it, I wouldn't mind hearing about it in PM. Maybe I know someone who might be good to discuss it you with.

[DarylFawcett]

I am yet to understand how it is possible to "love" someone and participate in and encourage unfounded accusations about that person behind their back. Can I blame Jesus for this? After all, it was done in His name.

Yes, it isn't OK and immoral to speak factual things against the issues pertaining to 3ABN, but it is OK and not immoral to make assumptions against members of CF.

What's the difference, woob?

WOW........ I wonder if I JUST came at a bad time?

Thanks again to those of you giving assurance that this is NOT the norm.....

Yet....... As a newbie.... I hope this is more of a "sibbling" rivelry.........

Why would "christians" have to even "go there" like this?

Just need to know what I joined.... that's all

RUN Sentipente and Bellanegra, RUN!!

Seriously, on the good side, and least these people show their true colors and don't put up a big front. I also am amazed at how shabbily some folks treat those who are supposed to be brothers and sisters in Christ.

This thread demonstrates quite well why I don't believe this group has any hope of self-moderation. Paranoia runs wild here while kindness and brotherly love cower in a corner. And the devil does a happy little dance.

There are people here who are worth the trouble. Country Doc and Reddogs come to mind. I still remember that beautiful post about the goats, Red. Maybe we just have a bunch of people here who need to be scratched on the top of their heads.

Did someone say something about herding cats? That is a pretty good analogy.

I would like us to start by taking RESPONSIBILITY.....

Stop passing the buck on poor "satan"....

HE CAN NOT BE EVERYWHERE WITH EVERYONE..... ONLY GOD CAN DO THAT....

Sorry for the passion folks but till we stop blaming someone/something else for our bad behavior we will conitinue to behave badly....

I DID IT!!! IT WAS ME!!!

Phew, NOW.... that it is out in the open....

I can be covered the same way by HIM...

See, that is the issue we must address FIRST....

WHY do we give up soooooooooo much power to the "devil"?

I rather look for what I want/need... hence in looking for some good in folk... I may actually FIND it......

Go figure.... We are in HIS image after all, there IS good in us..... We just need some help in brining it out.....
