Christopher,
I would agree but what is your purpose in pointing that out?
Do you expect everyone who goes here to be completely solid in all areas before commenting?
Was it part of the agreement to be a part of this forum that I must prove this?
I understand we are to be fruit inspectors but how is that to be done in an online forum as I or anyone else here can say whatever we want whether true or not?
What was your purpose in agreeing with Kevin rather than telling me directly what your issue with my posts are and what message were you trying to send to me and others by speaking around me?
It brings me no joy to say that you have shown zero compassion towards someone you know absolutely nothing about., We have all been though things and I thank the Lord for protecting and preserving me through it all (as well as others who have been through satanic ritual abuse).
Many of your teachings have been a blessing but what you have done here is ponce on someone.
Okay, if you read carefully all the responses you have received so far, all of them are asking you questions to explain yourself because they cannot understand what you are saying. I decided to ask my wife to join me at the computer and turn away from the screen, and I read to her your introduction post, asking her to give her feedback on it.
Lorraine told me that, yes, it was confusing because you were doing something she called "stream of conscious" writing, which is a phrase I had never heard of, but I did understand the concept. It's basically when someone sits down at a keyboard (or with a pen and paper) and just writes the first thing that comes to their mind, letting their thoughts flow wherever they may; it's what authors typically do when they are coming up with a concept for poem or short story. The problem in doing "stream of conscious" writing when introducing yourself to someone is that we (i.e. your listening audience) are focused on gaining a comprehensive idea of who you are, where you came from, what you believe, and where you are headed, which takes a structure of explanation, and yet, what we got instead was a stream of random ideas that do not answer any of those questions for us very well.
Lorraine also said that it seems as though you are genuine, and have had some problems and hassles with church buildings. I could gather that somewhat too, although I do not yet know if we are on the same page because I had difficulty understanding what you are saying because of how you are structuring your thoughts and sentences.
Now, the reason I'm ignoring your questions is because you did not design these to be answered. If you will be honest with us, your questions were designed as accusations, not questions to be answered. Just because you put a question mark at the end of your sentences, it does not justify your accusations, and if you believe others should act with compassion and not to pounce on you, then don't act with zero compassion against someone you just met by pouncing on them with rapid-fire accusations; rather, if you show us a better example, I think that would express the
"encouragement" you said you wanted to share with everyone here.
I am sure most everyone here would appreciate it if you took the time to restructure your introduction, so we can understand where you are coming from. If you need some help with that, see this post:
