The mods locked the thread before I could respond to your post.
NIGHT, YOU CRACK ME UP. YOU'RE THE ONE THAT LOVES TO GO ON AND ON ABOUT HOW THE MODS ARE VERY LIBERAL AROUND HERE
They are definitely more tolerant than most of the mods I have encountered in the past. And yes, that is a good thing.
AND YOU LOVE HOW PEOPLE GET TO SAY WHAT THEY WANT TO HERE.
I did and still do.
BUT WHEN YOU THINK SOMEONE IS ATTACKING YOU OR SOMEONE YOU CARE ABOUT
Um, no, I am not 'thinking' anything. It is actually happening. There are other threads, probably buried, that bear this out pretty clearly as well. If you cannot see how personal Neighbor has made things, there is not much I can say to convince you.
THE MODS NEED TO INTERVENE?
Actually, I don't care if the mods take action or not. I have presented my case and what they do is thier business. I am not going to wail, cry and carry on with demands for justice like some others have done. But I definitely do think action should be taken.
I have said in the past that I have not reported anyone to the mods, and up until now I have not. I am now making an exception for this one individual and I will be militant in reporting any and all questionable posts that come from him.
I have tried to be careful about attacking his beliefs and not him, whereas he has attacked me. He has declared me an enemy though his actions.
Well, alright then. Let's dance!
I still believe in free speech. Neighbor can spew all the trash talk against me he wants. That is his right. But I also believe in my right to defend myself against ludicrous posts and images which attack me or my Adventist integrity.

I will leave you to peruse this thread link and make your own judgment call as to his behavior.
MY CHOICE OF WORDING WOULD HAVE BEEN A LOT DIFFERENT THAN YOURNEIGHBOR'S, BUT THE MESSAGE IS STILL THE SAME.
The message is 'believe what I believe or get out'. Myself and others here have and will always fight these sorts of attempts at fear-mongering, control and manipulation of the faith journey of others.
IF YOU DON'T BELIEVE IN YOUR CHURCH'S DOCTRINE, WHY STAY?
TrustAndObey, could you please give the witchhunt mentality a rest already? It really is not very becoming of you. You are basing your claims on Neighbor's rhetoric and not fact.
For the fourth time, I believe in all 28 fundamentals with qualifications:

Yes, I reject the traditional interpretation of the IJ. So does a large segment of the church, including administrators, professors, scholars and ministers. So does the book Questions On Doctrine. So does George Knight, who had QOD republished and stands behind all of its contents. Are you willing to try and weed out all of these individuals, including a respected, retired Andrews church historian with impeccable credentials and a member in good standing? My beliefs on the IJ/Christ's Heavenly ministry agree with how Clifford Goldstein has presented them in the recent SS quarterly. Will you also weed out this man, a respected editor, author and member in good standing?
You will be hard pressed to find many Adventists these days who still believe that our salvation is in question until the outcome of some 'investigation'. But you are free to believe that if you want.
Yes, I believe EGW does not have doctrinal authourity. So does Graeme Bradford in his book More Than A Prophet. Will you also weed out this respected authour, administrator, teacher and member in good standing?
Do I pass the papal test of doctrinal purity, or am I fodder for the stake and fire?
I will say it again: I do not care if you, Woobadooba, Yourneighbor or anyone else thinks I am not a 'true' Adventist. I have been a member in good standing for over 20 years.
WHY TRY TO TAKE PEOPLE OUT WITH YOU INSTEAD OF LEAVING QUIETLY?
TrustAndObey, what in the world are you talking about here? Where have I ever attempted to do this?
I don't even know where to begin with this unfounded statement.
As for your question in the other locked thread, Tall and Sophia have not been speaking to me about Yourneighbor. I have no idea where you get that from. They have not even addressed the picture incident since it happened. My observations are my own and I believe them to be correct.
