I am fairly new and don't know many very well, but it saddens me too. If people keep leaving, there won't be as many informative posts to read. I love reading and posting here.

rocks, WISDOM will be back as soon as he gets things settled after hurricane Ivan plowed through his town. He took a direct hit and suffered a lot of damage. BobT is on vacation and will return in a few days. :il:

Well, I've been here a while and I don't know what's going on either.

I am so confused!!

Yes, it's sad that so many are leaving Worthy Boards. I don't know what was/is happening, but it isn't good. Satan has been causing a lot of trouble around these boards that past few weeks (months?) I wasn't here for the longest time, but when I came back, I noticed some division around here. It was never this bad, even when VoG posted here (which was quite a while ago actually.)

I hope people like Shadow, Dove, and Calamity come back because these were some of the first people that I met when I joined this board. They were great members, awesome brothers/sisters in Christ. Unfortunately, things happened, and then we lost them (and this also includes newer brothers/sisters in Christ like LCPGUY, Koppen, Kandi, LadyC, etc.)

But we must move on, no matter what happens, because hopefully, one day, they will come back here when God has decided for them to come back. Just keep strong in the faith, and remember who we're here for.

Honey, people get their feelings hurt and they need time to be alone with the Lord and seek His face.

I've had to do that....I've done it several times. People are all different. Some folks recover quickly while others take longer.

Sometimes there's more than meets the eye. People might say they have "a problem" with so and so....but there's also problems with finances, family or health issues.

Oftentimes we over-simplify things. We say that Satan's after us and that may be but we're also under a good deal of stress from other sources as well.

For instance, I know Gary and Patsy and they're under enormous stress in their lives. It's common knowledge and no secret that Gary's mother is very sick and Gary himself is disabled and suffers in his body.

Patsy has an enormous burden on her and has to be strong during times of affliction.

I have blown up and gotten angry at people at times - but I've had other underlying problems like health issues.

At some point, ill health, stress or problems at home can begin to take their toll on people's lives and it tends to amplify emotions.

We're made of flesh and for that reason, God has pity on us. He knows we're weak and knows it's harder to fight the flesh when it's being tested. I hope we can all just remember the word, "grace" and apply it.

I had no idea Shadow, Dove and LadyC were gone too!!!!

These are some of the people who welcomed me as well as sharing wonderful testimonies & personal challenges with me through PM to encourage me through very difficult times along with LCP. I can't believe this................... :down: :down: :down: :down:

Oftentimes we over-simplify problems. We say that Satan's after us and we're under attack and that may be.

However, we often miss the fact that if Satan is attacking us, it's often when we're under a great deal of stress in other areas of our lives, too.

For instance, I know Gary and Patsy and they're under enormous stress in their lives. It's common knowledge and no secret that Gary's mother is very sick and Gary himself is disabled and suffers in his body.

Patsy has an enormous burden on her and has to be strong during times of affliction.

I have blown up and gotten angry at people at times - but I've had other underlying problems like severe allergic reactions to medications I've taken or physical illness has taken it's toll.

At some point, ill health, stress or problems at home can begin to take their toll on people's lives and it tends to amplify emotions.

When you're not well, for instance, it's a whole lot easier to lose your temper and say something you wish you hadn't, than when you're healthy and feeling good.

We're made of flesh and for that reason, God has pity on us. He knows we're weak and knows it's harder to fight the flesh when it's being tested. I hope we can all just remember the word, "grace" and apply it.

Well said Cats. I understand what you're saying. Yes, people do get their feelings hurt. And yes, they do take some time off to work out their problems and to seek the Lord and His Word. This is all true. I've never denied this. But I still believe they will come back in good time nonetheless.
