What's on your mind?

[exitstageright]

It wasn't done haphazardly, it was done with a solid argument with something you never responded to. You had the opportunity to refute the proof that you asked for multiple times. I didn't recant because you didn't really provide me with a reason to. Christ doesn't look upon someone deceiving His children for the purpose of gratifying the lusts of their flesh as something which isn't dangerous, and neither should we (or you). I'm not maligning you, it's okay if you made a mistake, I'm not judging you at all; but I also don't back down from what I've said because from what you had written it did sound like you were treating the sin which was being talked about as if it was nothing. As something that shouldn't be called out for the wickedness that it was. Seriously, the man wanted to hire an escort to deceive women at church to go out with him. How do you think the Apostle Paul would react to that?

If anyone would like to see the exchange then please feel free to visit the thread and decide for yourselves.
It wasn't haphazard and it was said for a reason.

It is ironic that you mentioned bells and whistles. Around 1991,in Bakersfield,California, one lady, who went to the same church as I, told me after our first date. "S..... when I went out with you, no bells went off." :cool: She's been watching too many films. ;) The secret to women is...

"For what fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness? And what communion has light with darkness?" -2 Corinthians 6:14

Well,at least I did not beat up and/or murder christians as Saul (Paul) did.

It is, indeed, okay to express your feelings. But you need to be ready and able to receive honest feedback from others, since you're sharing them on a public form. And some of that feedback won't be things you want to hear. You need to be able to hear what's being said without defaulting to feeling attacked. No one here hates you. No one here is trying to ruin your day or hurt you. You gave us a situation and story voluntarily, and we gave you our honest thoughts about it. It's a good policy not to share personal things online if you aren't ready to receive both positive and negative reactions to it. You can't police or censor other peoples' opinions.

You know, you are right! But,I can try to be persuasive.

I still really dislike thunderstorms.

I like them if they're not overly windy, or have explosively loud thunder. I hate storms that sit right over your house and the thunder is like bombs dropping for hours on end. Especially at night! But if it's just a nice, steady rain with low, rumbly thunder, I love those. I was petrified of storms as a child, and would be frozen in terror until I could run to my mom and cling to her. She'd get annoyed with me at times, lol. "It's just noise!" Yes, but to a small child, it's terrifying!

Well, I had a tree fall through my window at a young age, so I think that's partly where it stems from. I am okay with rain and even lightning. But the thunder is a whole other story, kind of like what you said about those loud, boisterous claps of thunder, which I am definitely not a fan of.

But I do agree with Miss @TheLastGeek in that when thunder is sort of low and rumbling in the distance, it can be a pleasant sound.

That's true, I suppose.

I am so tired.

It will be over soon enough, Miss Chelsea.

Thanks for caring!

The fireworks all over the screen today make it really hard to read the forums!

A random YouTube suggestion, and... wow!!

 

[TheLastGeek]

Thank you, Lord, for getting me to the weekend!

 

[GodDoesListen55]

I need my own space now, please!

I turned off those holiday decorations a long time ago for that reason.

I need to find that option and do the same, lol.

I hate it when I get work-related calls on Sabbath.

I officially graduated on Friday! I'm so blessed the Lord opened the door for me to return to college!

All of a sudden, I'm sad, like, what the heck?!

Then let the famed lady knight Jersey Heartshorn lead you back into a more jovial state of mind, Chelsea.

Still, I am praying for you, okay?

 

[SarahsKnight]

Let us continue to pray for those in the path of Beryl.

Thankfully so far the friends I still keep in contact with and Mama Knight in Houston are safe. Power is out for them, which definitely sucks, but no physical harm to them or their homes or anything.
