what exactly did i do to bring on this firestorm? noticed someone was an entp? let he who is without sin, cast the first stone.

The "let he who is without sin, cast the first stone" incident is one of the most well-known lessons of the Bible. A woman, who had been caught in the act of adultery was brought to Jesus Christ by the scribes and Pharisees as a test to see if the Messiah was a liberal in matters of the Law of God. In response to their deceitful query, He didn't condemn the woman, not because He was a liberal, not because He condoned her sin, but because the men who brought the woman to Him were Hypocrites. He was the only person there that day who was free of sin, the only one who had the right to "cast the first stone." He didn't stone her (or her accusers), but instead forgave her and told her to "sin no more." Otherwise, the day wass coming when she, if she didn't thereafter repent, wouldn't be stoned, but would be burned - along with the hypocrites who brought her to Him that day, if they didn't thereafter repent of their sin.
I don't believe anyone questioning you is a hypocrite, just people who follow a programme and want to know who you are and why you are on MB, and in order to ascertain whether or not you are here as a helper or a hinderer.
There's another well known scripture in the bible..'be as wise as serpents and as gentle as doves'
The questions we are asking are far from a firestorm.
Recovered marriage, recovering self, life gets better everyday

He's not really a preacher. Dude's just fancying himself into the role of Clint Eastwood in the move Pale Rider, a reformed gun fighter preacher forced to put aside his righteousness to stand up and fight [righteously] for a small band of Christian gold miners against the forces of the man.
In this case...Dude's the righteous preacher on his pale horse and the collective we (or maybe justuss and the moderators) are the man subverting and perverting his misplaced right to freedome of speech on a PRIVATE forum.
Saddest thing is this is an adult man we are talking about here. Since it's an alias I presume he was banned and getting banned from here is about as mature a thing as getting kicked out of a funeral for laughing too much and then to sneak back in to poke at the family some more????
Even if he was, he's not the only one who has READ the bible - all of it, not just the easily used to try and panic others into backing away with bits.
Prd, just answer the dang questions will ya?

He could have. But then instead of posting under a new alias and confusing people who could be in the worst pain of their lives, he would just say, "It's me! I am married and happy!"

re-married and happy would probably be the way he'd phrase it.
Well, if his new marriage was perfect, he would never ever feel the need to be here, or so he said.

maybe its a refurbished marriage, not a "new" one? idk i'm merely speculating.

yanno, if you talked/shared about you instead of speculating about dude, things like...IDK... umm.... MB and how it applies to you, instead of all this shilly-shallying about. we'd get off your case.
Frankly, my care factor has run out. I noted your odd postings, I called you out in an attempt to find out if your legit, your constant prancing round proves your not, and everyone has had it brought to their attention. If you post ANYTHING the slightest bit not MB ANYWHERE on the forum, expect to be shouted down.
Lil out!
