Ladyt28, my eyes are not as good as they used to be: what is in the reflection of the eye in your avatar?

 

[Moriah_Conquering_Wind]

If a moderator wishes to provide me with a viable IP check confirming my error, I can make my own apologies. Until then, the only darkness is in the surface of the mirror you place on everyone else to avoid seeing yourself. You can run, but you cannot hide.

 

[psalmody]

What is an IP check?

 

[Moriah_Conquering_Wind]

Checks the IP address of people who post. If someone is under two separate accounts, an IP check can verify this unless they employ some means of bypassing it which I'm not going to go giving that information out here.

Something's really changed here....

We're attacking our own. Instead of this being a place of love and support, we're lashing out on our brothers and sisters with contempt and suspicion. Instead of looking for the good will, we're misconstruing each other's words and intent.

And this applies to me as much as anyone else here. My feelings were hurt by something said or not said in this thread. And now I realize that I was being over-sensitive and feeling unimportant. I reacted out of fear, and not love.

If I've hurt someone, I'm sorry. Please forgive me and know I meant you no harm.

There are so many places in this forum where we can compete and fight over who is more right, righteous, scriptural, etc. and etc. There are so few places where we can just love each other with gentleness and kindness.

I'm afraid many of us will leave unless we find a way to reconcile with each other. Most will leave without saying a word.....

Well since the only thing I can think of that's "changed" as far as I know is me popping in here periodically, I can certainly remedy that for you with no hard feelings involved.

And no that is not said out of any emotional reaction. I feel nothing. Literally.

No, I didn't mean that. A lot of us are bickering - and like I said, I had a "bicker" albiet internally, with someone too!

I don't want you to leave. I'm just sad because there is so much fighting here. That's all. If anyone, I'm the one who should leave.

 

[Moriah_Conquering_Wind]

it's ok like i said no hard feelings. i wasn't here long enough to really become a "regular" anyway and it's pretty obvious to me i don't fit in here (that's not directed against anyone else and it is NOT a bid for pity; it is an objective observation). unsubscribing now. sorry for the trouble. i didn't know They would spread mischief like that without provocation but They control me, not the other way around, so ... sayonara.

 

[psalmody]

Moriah, thank you for the clarification on the IP. I'm ignorant on most things cyber.
Ralangley, hey girl! Didnt mean to forget you! You are such a sweetheart, how could anyone forget? There are so many people on the Inner Room, its getting hard to keep track of everybody. And I sure dont want to leave anybody out! Then, too, I was gone for awhile, so that could explain my lapse.
Stick around, ya'll, things are gonna get better!

 

[psalmody]

Moriah, you dont have to let them control you. You dont have to take it or put up with it.

TWO IMPORTANT GUIDELINES HERE FOR ALL OF US​

Please Read!​

FIRSTLY​

We all want to see The Inner Room as a place of peace where we come together as a family of Christian Believers, caring for and loving each other. "Love is kind" God says in 1 Corinthians 13:4. So we are to be careful with our speech and relationship with all others here - to ensure that we always speak in love and speak kindly and gently.

It's perfectly possible to speak the truth within those parameters - and that's what is needed in all posts here. The Pinocchio "if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all" is a pretty reasonable guide.

Please do NOT look upon these words as 'targeting' anyone. They're not (if I do, you'll know it, trust me!) All I'm asking is care taken when you write, and when you give advice. It's my hope and prayer that we will be showing the love towards each other that is GOD'S COMMAND TO US! Nothing less will do!


SECONDLY

(a) CONCERNING YOU. When someone does say something that doesn't go down well with you, please try not to react. It's just SO easy to take something personally when the writer never meant that at all. "Look for the good" is what's needed here (not the opposite). That makes for HARMONY and LOVE!!

(b) CONCERNING SOMEONE ELSE. If the thing said is 'against' someone else, then you may want to come to their aid. I hope you will! We're here to SUPPORT each other, right. That's what Christians who are serious with the Lord do. BUT... instead of 'attacking' the perpetrator - don't!! Instead, support the one who has been hurt. That's the best way to maintain harmony in the family.

Please remember that we are ALL sinners! So please take care not to throw the first stone - or the second!! If someone says something NOT in love, and you then slang back at them, what happens? It's quite inevitable: things like hurt, an argument or fight, and piles of upset! In fact all the very things God says not to do, not to have amongst us!



I do hope this will help harmony and love to prevail here in our special online family!

With our very best wishes to all, and lots of love!

Actually I fully agree with you

Hello everyone! I keep trying to find a good place to come in and introduce myself without interrupting you all, but I can't seem to find a place, lol. So hello, it's nice to meet you all, please continue

Hi! Welcome

 

[ThorninHiscrown]

I am sorry she did this to you, she mistook you for me...thinking I was under a different name. I am SO sorry.

For the record, I am not doing well emotionally...so I am outta here for a while...light and dark don't mix..and there is some dark here...

No I'm just the favorite punching bag Evangelica/pilgrimage(who is barred for trying to talk to a muslem on the chat)/abigale who was assaulted last nite and the list goes on.
No apology necessary.

I just wanted to remind you, you are precious in His sight! He sure does loves you and no weapon formed against you shall prosper. The Bible says He always causes us to triumph! So just rest in Him, draw your strength from His sweet presence each day and stay in the Word.

Beautiful words J4J! I think it is something we all need to hear from time to time!

 

[psalmody]

Hey Amanda! How goes it ?

 

[Citizen of the Kingdom]

She's gone, isnt she?

Yes, I'm just waiting for the internet to be cancelled and thanks to folks like your loving little heart I won't be back

 

[foreveramanda]

Hey Amanda! How goes it ?

It goes great =0)
The sun is shinning, my hubby and I are happy and healthy, my kitty is a kitty, my God loves me, and I'm going to see my dad this weekend!

The only thing I would change would be the temperature it is so hot but such a minor thing in the grand scheme of life! I'm alive and I have one more day of beauty on God's earth

Can you tell I'm in a good mood? lol

and how are you today psalmody?
