Mulan>getting my EN for Conversation met through MB and my EN for Attractive Spouse met by Errol Flynn and Cary Elwes!


<img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> Too funny Mulan.

Mrs. W, how can you get offended by an opinion when it is espoused as such? He wasn't saying it was fact, just an opinion. - RE: your comments on the statements WAT made.

Weaver<<<<practicing the fine art of conversation in civilized company, and putting her CA away for a sec.

That's a complimente` Mrs. W, cuz I think you are quite civilized... you'd be considered downright Grace Kelly like in my neck of the woods.

People here (Mimi, etc..) somehow think because I enforced my boundaries, honored myself and honored my self integrity by not allowing continued and willful damage to my life by staying in a marriage with a cheater that somehow I am not "forgiving" or a Christian person.... X 1000


WHOA....Wait a minute...I saw my name...

I never ever ever said this...

Not fair....

Because Weaver, I feel that it is blasphemous to allude to the Bible as containing "truth" as WAT did...to me, the Bible is 100% the literal TRUTH, in fact, <singing> "B-I-B-L-E, yeah that's the book for meeee"...I already know that WAT doesn't believe it to be that when he says that he is not a Christian...it's implied, and that's enough for me...But for him to take it further is offensive to me...It essentially says to me that he believes everything that I base my life upon is a crock, and that seems demeaning and insulting...Again, I like WAT, I'm not trying to "call him out"...not at all, I'm just telling him how it makes me feel when he does that...he doesn't have to care or change it...just stating my feelings/opinion as he did his, ya know?

Mrs. W

P.S. I don't mind at all that you asked me this, btw...'specially when ANY parallel to myself and Grace Kelly is drawn, heck, ASK AWAY! LOL <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

opinion: Michener is the master of transforming historical, factual settings into fiction - filling in characters, detail, and sub plots into otherwise bonafide, factual history. The stories are very plausible and represent to me a way a more detailed history might very well have actually been. Unabashedly fiction, but very, very plausible - and sometimes more rational than the "truth" - because the truth has "gaps." (Intentional irony here - "gaps" as in those being filled on almost a daily basis in evolutionary biology.)

opinion: Similarly, to me, the "Code" seems a more plausible fiction than the "truth." A much more believable fiction.


weaver - WAT is the one who blasted Christianity with his post, the most disgusting part of it quoted above.

But, I'm so bad for merely reference WHAT HE SAID.

Get a life Weaver. WAT is caring most of the time, but NOT when it comes to believers in Christ who might have the temberity to suggest, let alone say, that his animosity toward Christ, God, Creation, etc., etc., etc. is NOT very caring. He EXCLUDES the "poor demented souls" (ooops, he doesn't believe in souls either) who believe in God and Jesus Christ and ridicules their believe. Sometimes I wonder, very unChristianlike, why Christians don't have anything like Fatwah's and Jihad's. That's probably a big part of why folks like WAT can be so disgusting...they know Christians won't be running around cutting off the heads or hands or tongues of those who disagree with them.

And YOU want to yell at me for mentioning HIS post?

Nevermind, it's not worth it.

I agree Mimi...In fact, if I had even a small percentage of the Biblical knowledge that FH does I would, many times, be right there alongside him spreading truth...I do think that a certain Ark quote really fits when it comes to FH, she said, "It's always funny how speaking the truth is blasting someone"...

Mrs. Wondering and Mimi - bless you two ladies. You have no idea how close I am right now to imploding. I appreciate your words, and I'll be silent as I contemplate the wisdom of remaining here anymore.

From Lemonman's judgments of MY recovery, to WAT's total animosity to Christ and God, to apologists for those who find it "open season" on Christians and Christianity ("oh shoot, it's just a fictional attack, not a "real" attack, it's just artistic expression)...I've had just about enough of the way this system has gone. I think I've stayed too long and it's obvious that even the clear cut commands of God to believers are "argued" as not being pertinent to "this" situation or "that" situation.

In one week it will be 4 years since my wife and I began the long process of Recovery. That Lemonman doesn't like how I did it, by being obedient to God's commands even when I wanted give in to my human emotions and toss in the towel, is HIS problem, not mine. All I can say is I HAVE recovered my marriage....how's he doing with his?

Waiting on the LORD is NOT easy a lot of the time, but it always comes down to who we believe Jesus really is, and is He trustworthy to HIS promises regardless of the circumstances we are dealing with in our lives.

He has proved faithful and has used the circumstances to work good in our lives. I pray that others will find that truth also.

God bless you both.
Shalom, as our friends standing against the Islamist threat might say.

Well......HUH ???? Did I read that correctly? FH, you take alot of liberal use of other people's statements. YOu want to know how I am doing with my marriage? JUST GREAT. I followed God's word...I was able to forgive my wife for her betryal and destruction of my family.....and then I also REMOVED her in every way, shape, or form from my life in DIVORCE...I am a raging Marriage Builder success. These experiences will help me build a great marriage someday. I am "right" with God, and certainly dont need a heretic telling me different. I am glad you are recovered...wewll untill the next disentanglement.....cough

Goodluck

Lem

I cannot believe you said that, what a hateful, horrible, misguided thing to say.

You take everything that is holy about Jesus and God and twist it.

I don't want any part of your "truth", I think you are a disgrace to everything which Jesus stood for. I do not believe you are a Christian at all, and I can no longer bare to sit by and watch you use Jesus' name to spread your thinly veiled hatred.

Not only WAT, but every single person on this earth has a right to state their opinion without you waiting for the chance to jump on them with your Bible toting, God used for your own purposes, bullcrap.

Last I checked in my Bible, adultry was grounds for divorce. It said nothing about forgiving 100 times and having to stay married.
