Tired of being misinterpereated.

((((((guinie)))))))))))))) I don't misintepret you, I love you and know you are going through a difficult time right now. But there has been division among Christians and it is disheartening not only to us, but to God.

Hey Guni, you know what *I* have been through on these boards. I almost left. I almost gave up and said forget it and condemned everyone to hell here....but guess what, I'm still here. I mean, geez, I'm branded as having a DEMON, for goodness' sake, because I'm thoroughly WOF and proud of it and I ain't changing my mind, but that's another story.....ya just gotta take the good (like me, lol) and throw out the bad....and every once in a while get a loving letter from Mr. Dave there...LOL

Oh boy! I know all too well how it can be when one is misinterpreted or misunderstood! And then again there are the "intellectual" types who think more than they love.

Hey all.... Lately on the boards I feel like I'm getting misinterpretated. Everybody thinks one thing by reading through the posts and not really sure as to who says it and the automatically assumes that it is the first person writing it. Plus lately everyone is being rude. Something of which REALLY bothers me to a point of a pet peeve. I just wish chrisitans could all get along. Ok fine if you have a different opinion I'm not forcing my belief down your throat. I'm not even doing it mean. In fact alot of my posts are ususally so nice you have a hard time finding something mean in them. I just *sighs* don't like being violent and all across the boards it seems like people simply can't go ok that's your belief and I'm fine with it.

I had my first patient today and she's just in the end stages of life. Its really heart wrenching to watch someone go down and have people sitting here complaining about life.

Dear Gunivere-

I joined a different forum, I didn't feel as though this place could ever become home.

I was searching through the forums,

and my friend Amber pointed out her favorite.

and it exactly pointed out how I felt after being "attacked" today on the boards as it was my first day on them?!

I know I am probably being dramatic, but it seems as though, if the Christians will not love others who share their love for Jesus, then who will love? More love, less judging.

Here is the exerpt from the post that struck me at heart.

come on, if some one has not been in school for a while, dont bog them down the first semester, wait at least until they have had time to re-established some habits for study....

AMEN!!

I instruct A&P labs, and I (along with the other instructors) have to deal with work with students who can't even remember that a cell has a single nucleus.

OK . . . go back and take Biology 101 . . .

...who think more than they love.

I am beginning to believe this is the problem for all of us.

We are more worried about "being right" that being reconciled, about seeing views and not seeing the person.

Maybe we all need to tape on top of our computer screens:

"Love is patient, love is kind, it does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud, it is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not fail."

And then before we post anything - ask ourselves if what we wrote is in line with or violates this passage of Scripture.

If it does violate these expressions of what love is, then don't post it.
