Guest lnj Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 Everyone has differences of opinions ( check out Acts) but when it becomes personal and with an ulterior motive, that's when a line needs to be drawn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can say that from my own personal experiences that Worthy has been a God send to me in my life. And I have personally been under a horrendous attack from Satan in my personal life. For all my worthy brothers and sisters all I want is for the truth to prevail in each of our lives and that truth will have free course. If I have offended anyone without a cause I apologize. And I really need the love and support that is here. It is worth fighting to keep it alive and well. oc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After 2 years on this board, I have seen trends of incivility and then back to peacetime. They are usually short lived and between the usual offenders. But I'm telling you that there is something evil haunting the forum as of late. You cant say "Have a nice Day" without someone saying "whats that supposed to mean"? Enough with the "if you dont like it, leave" stuff. I do like it here and I dont run from attacks on my home. I fight it with prayer. So Like I said Pray for the evil to be banished from here.

Praise the Lord for your spiritual sensitivity! It's interesting that we've been slammed recently with pornographic spam, too. I do believe you are onto something. Thank-you for your prayers! P.S. The Lord is really working on my heart about my attitude and focus in discussions - especially in the political threads. I need to remember the things that are important (the Kingdom of God, saving souls, etc.) over than "my opinion" on a matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Biblicist Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 Is it just me or are the boards under attack? It seems as though everyone is angry and argumentative. We are turning against eachother. Saying mean and spiteful things. A house divided against itself cannot stand. We are here to build eachother up, support eachother, teach eachother, pray for eachother, and reach the lost with the love of Christ. We need a wake up call and get back to the basics. We are brothers and sister in Christ. Heirs to the throne. Celebrate, be happy, we are FREE. Everyone take a deep breath. Awwww, that's better. I apologize to all I might have offended. Let's play nice and remember why we are here. Pray that evil will be banned from this place. I too have noticed the tearing down of the saints in recent conversations. Not just in debates either, in almost every thread. That's why I started posting chapters from the book War of Words ~ Paul David Tripp http://www.worthyboards.com/index.php?showtopic=56393&hl= Our words have more power than we realize. Proverbs 18:21 The tongue has the power of life and death, and those who love it will eat its fruit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest lovinghim4ever Posted February 22, 2007 Share Posted February 22, 2007 Amen! Amen! Amen! Let your YES be YES and your NO be NO. We need to believe what we believe with enough respect for others to allow them their beliefs; without ridiculing them, judging them or calling them names. Gia - Thank you for your original post. NO, it's not just you. I agree with you. There is an attack here at Worthy, and we need to pray. I pray for us all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also agree there has been allot more "troll" activity lately, we just need to keep praying and trying to agree, even if its a "agree to disagree" situation. I love everybody here and Gia just and FYI, you've never offended me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
