What Law?

What I mean is that there has not been one "Christian" that has embraced me in a positive way. None have struck a friendship of any kind with me. That, sir, is not a good sign. Instead, only criticism, roadblocks and pitfalls.

I didn't extend a long Private message conversation with you?  I find this a bit dishonest.  I go out of my way to try and Private Message everyone when I have the time.

And this, right here, is the reason why people are leaving Worthy. I know as I've spoken with many blessed, kind people who have done so, or nearly done so. 

This is also the reason why we see so many new people join each week but only see the same 40-50 posters all year. 

We haven't talked before @Thess, but I extend a hand of friendship to you.

Love & Shalom 

Thank you so much, Tzep! You were and are, for now, the last thread that is keeping me here. If George is able to witness for himself what is happening, and actually do something about this abuse, I would love to stay and help build a home for anyone to safely come, ask questions (even if they're a known troll) and not be obviously treated with scorn and ridicule. It was sad to witness this happen to Yishai yesterday. Though it happens to me, that is one thing, but when I see others being treated like they are dumb and stupid, with self-proclaimed "elders" of this group giving the rolling eyes and whistling "smiley faces" . . . I just can't hardly believe it.

So if George can show me that his "personal friends" are going to stop their condescending ways, that would be fantastic. The buck stops at the top.

Well, I was travelling ALL DAY yesterday ... and generally I do not get on during the weekends.  I arrived late last night at 4 AM in the morning after driving 14 hours ... after which I compiled a Worthy Brief - and didn't go to bed till 6 AM.  I arrived today to the FORUM with over 20+ reports ... I'm working through them now.

God bless,

George

I admire where you're coming from, @Thess. It took some time to understand but thanks to what you're written here in this topic, I've witnessed enough to finally get it... however, the issues you're encountering aren't due to "this site" dropping the ball. Not at all! Notice how it took time for me to appreciate where you're coming from. Honestly my friend, I'm of the belief that the majority of issues which crop up between brothers and sisters in this medium are due to miscommunication and "crossed wires" for lack of a better descriptive. Where's my proof of this?

This post of course! I started off on the wrong foot but then again, that's something I'm infamous for. I greatly appreciated what you had to write in a topic other than this one today, Thess... but don't be mistaken. George is all about helping those who need it the most! He's been a wonderful brother in Christ and entirely supportive while I deal with my warehouse of faults and problems. He communicates with me on a regular basis, offers godly counsel, reminds me of those things I easily forget and is "there" as much as he can be given how hectic his schedule is.

Unless I spoke up and revealed that others might not know about it. It's "behind the scenes" after all but its not shameful in the least. Don't be angry with them for not "getting" where you're coming from. Judging them harshly is no different than being judged harshly as you well know.

I'm thankful for you, Thess.  

Outstanding. I mean, this is outstanding . . . and not because it is written to me, but because it shows that the Spirit indeed can be here. I want this to be a home for anyone who is struggling; a place where the hurt and wounded may enter and know WITH CERTAINTY, that THIS group of Christians will be there for them, to even listen to their funny and strange ideas. You have just helped to make that happen. I commend you, not because you commend me, but because you are honoring your Powerful God in heaven by obeying and doing the right thing, which is to extend kindness and compassion to those that Truly need it (those beyond me).

My sincere hope, sir, would be to build a "relationship" with you, built on mutual respect and honor. I listen to you because I am genuinely interested, and likewise. This is such a smooth way to live the Christian life! But instead, and it doesn't matter which site you're on, we find the Biblical Intellect Game running at full pace with everyone trying to outdo the other. It is amazing to see a struggling person ask for help, only to have their thread become shredded with "christians" hating one another. But I believe that if you follow me in how I approach each person here, I never do so with the intent to crush or damage their spirit. I am not intending to mocking, but take the Word of God, and all of our Eternal Destinies extremely important. If you knew of my Spiritual Experiences, I would make more sense, for I found that our God is extremely serious and Extremely Powerful.

Lastly, I would appreciate it that if instead of people criticizing me for my reaching out to the threads that were years old, with ZERO replies, for example, why not just extend "yourself" and your wisdom to those who are asking questions with no replies? Answer them instead of destroying me. Answer those that are struggling instead of destroying me. "You" could be an answer in this world instead of just another question.

Thanks again, DR. And if I forget who you are, remind me. Sorry in advance, but I rarely place conversations with names, so it would take me a while to remember who's who based upon a name alone.

First of all, thank you for your efforts. Second, I am very sorry that you have 20 reports to deal with. We, as a group, are supposed to all have our souls bound together by the Holy Love of Christ. One Mind; One Body. We must conduct ourselves as brothers and sisters and join in, together to ensure that it happens.

Spoken like a true disciple!

May Yahweh bless you with the windows of opportunities to do all of these things and friends to support you through it (and may I be counted as one of them). 

Only don't leave! To do so would be to tip the scales even further in the favour of these other ones. 

And, as much as it can seem hopeless at times, there is good that comes from the forum occasionally. For example, today my heart has been greatly encouraged in reading you stand up for our brother @Yishai, and now we all know of each other, right? Praise Yahweh!

So stay! *wags finger at you*

You find me to be dishonest? Sir, you wrote to me to remind me of how I am to interact with folks. I noted what you were doing and asked you of your intentions. You noted that I had "gotten into it" with another the day before. I was right . . . it didn't feel like friendship, but your way of scolding me without my feeling like I was being scolded. Dishonest? I find that what you are saying is dishonest and disingenuous. And of course, as @BeauJangleslabeled me, I'm a "newbie" and you all are placing me right on the "newbie", lower rung of the ladder. Alright. Nothing I can do about it and I sure won't stick around for the next level down.

I defended you that first day but apparently Im counted among the bad folks here?

My goodness! You are a breath of fresh air but once again! Unfortunately, the boss and I are not of the same Spirit that you and I share. I will be kicked out shortly.
