And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the Friend of God.
*
And when he hath found His sheep, he layeth it on his shoulders, rejoicing. And when he cometh home, he calleth together his friends and neighbours, saying unto them, Rejoice with me; for I have found my sheep which was lost. I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance.
*
You are my friends, if you do whatsoever I command you. Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knows not what his lord does: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you. You have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, –that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: –that whatsoever you shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you. –Jesus

you obviously don’t know John very well….what you described doesn’t even begin to scratch the surface of his haughtiness.

bahahaha  (too bad you won’t get that joke, but anyway…you’ve missed the point on everything else..so moving on…)

you’ve been playing in the arena of ideas, and your butt is being kicked in case you hadn’t noticed.

next time, bring your mind and some original thoughts.

now go outside and get some fresh air – that basement can be awfully stuffy…mom will call you when dinner’s ready

<snicker>

Hahaha… this is too funny. Open season, baby!

See, here is the thing… It is true… “Dude… if you are that offended… then don’t read.” is exactly what I said. But you weren’t seeking, asking, or identifying a moment for compassion. So judging my response, based on this spurious standard is ridiculous. (This is SOOOO SGM methodology. Fabricate a standard and then judge by the fictitious standard.)

Your email to me was nothing more than a series of non sequiturs that I have addressed repeatedly throughout this blog. And since you haven’t demonstrated one whit of ability to follow or substantively refute what I have specifically commented on… what else is there for me to say to you?

And OH the irony: THAT was the paragraph that demonstrated my disdain for “this Bunch??” Hahahhaha…. Hahahahahah… HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
OK… I am collecting my self now.

If you want to offer an argument, if you want to offer a factual criticism… I’ll take a look and see what I have to say about it…

If not…

>shrug<

So the question remains… why are you here? If you are that offended… if you are so motivated to delete this site from your favorites… if what I have to say is that hateful, and erroneous, and deleterious…

WHAT ARE YOU WAITING ON?

But as I said in another post:

And that is what REALLY bothers you.  That is what gnaws at your stomach, keeps you up at night looking for a way to evade.  That is what keeps you coming back to read and respond because you work to equivocate. If this site were really just a bitter diatribe by a pathetic little man, you would have read an article or two and clicked away to a more worthy expression of your time.

Your continued readership and commentary is the measure of your own fraud.

You hear moral clarity without apology, caveat, or hedge and you are scandalized because I am overtly saying that the BODY OF IDEAS that makes this tyranny possible is sourced by something you hold dear to your heart. I am saying that the substance of doctrine and practice are wrong, immoral, and evil.

How is THAT for disdain?!

I guess now I know where you stood on that quote about the pastors standing in the very stead of God. Try Scipture next time.

John defends people, he cares.  You don’t see that, but it’s true.  He cares about those still in that system and those who have their lives screwed up because of it.  So he’s bold–so what? I guess Paul was, too, when he told the legalists in the book of Galatians that he wished they’d imasculate themselves. (Has John been that haughty?) I guess teaching a gospel that really was no gospel was a pretty bad thing to Paul. And guess what–that’s just the kind of thing that SGM is doing…plus.

Blessings,

“I submit that waiting for an Aha! moment out of this bunch is a waste  of time. Trying to manufacture an Aha moment for this bunch is more than  a waste of time. It is an exercise in futility. Maybe one day the SGM  leaders will come on bended knee and honestly proclaim their treatment of  you was wrong. Maybe they ask you for forgiveness. (If this overture is  coupled with them declaring they are unfit to govern anyone ever again and  committing to never stepping foot back in the pulpit) Maybe you should  consider accepting their overture.”

For “THIS BUNCH”?

I don’t even speak with such disdain of my ex-wife who left me for another  man. Author John Immel, seeks nothing of reconciliation but rather of  hateful condescension.
There is a way to write concerns coming from a denomination without  resorting to slinging mud and hatred. Unless the writer is no longer a  believer in “The Peacemaker, Jesus Christ”, that is. If we are still Christians then our tone is to be civil and kind, rather than malicious  and filled with hate.
Hiding behind internet code names rather than using ones name shows  cowardice and does not allow for intellectual dialog. How do you know that  “They Hurt Me” is not a pedophile who was removed from children’s ministry
or “I am Mad” wasn’t brought before the church because of an adulteress  lifestyle?
As I have said before, my wife and I worked with an ex-Jehovah Witness  support group for years, and our purpose was to help them get out of gripe  rooms, who’s main purpose was to allow them to voice over and over their
mistreatment from the JW’s and back into a church where they could grow.
Have we been offended as members of churches (SGM and NON SGM)? Sure, and
we HAVE offended others much. Where there are people there will be sin.
I would much rather hear “I am free now and am attending a church where I  am growing in my walk with Christ” than to see the constant daily berating  of those we have loved and served alongside with for years. I will not go > so far to say that Satan enjoys this malignment, but I do feel it brings  sorrow to Christ to see such anger flung about on an internet read by  believers and non believers alike.

Paul Balluff

And the wise answer I got when I Emailed ST.com was

“Dude… if you are that offended…. then don’t read.”

The compassion in his response tells me to delete this site from my favorite places

“Spiritual Slaughterhouses”?

Sopy

Anony..that book title sounds intriguing  you just might finish it as we wait upon the Distinguished Mr. Immel to post..(hint, hint)

If I wrote a book I’d call it: Spiritual Slaughterhouses

I doubt it would sell many copies though..not exactly a title that is as appealing as “Your Best Life Now” is it? hehe

     “Near as I can tell, Tribles are born pregnant.”

At this time, I don’t think I will mention the underoos again.  I feel a great disturbance in the Force (and a very disturbing mental picture).

Anony, I do a lot of reading myself.  I am a proud owner of an Amazon Kindle.  Do you ever do any Fiction reading?

gotta love it

hahh…this is fun. Where else can you talk about roofies, underoos, tyrannies, oppression, church history, philosophy AND Monty Python all in one place?
