LMAO if the WW and I ever go to a MB weekend and run into you, I am going to say I am pepperband. If I told you who I really was I am afraid of what you would do.

First I won't expose, then I follow you around and make stupid jokes. You'd kill me:)

Well people naturally have a capacity, or not, but I have seen "intellectually challanged" people who seem to have mastered so much. My favorite example, although from a fictious movie is Forest Gump. "I'm not a smart man , Jenny, but I know what love is"..

The human brain is the culmination of the nervous system, and balance of fear, frustration, and even pain makes us "smart". Don't believe we are naturally smart, doesn't every body know a twoxfour to the head ussually gets our attention?

Oh wait , now I know who is naturally smart. Alien Pods. rotflmao

Okay, I am just.....disgusted. I am a member of a CHRISTIAN forum, and I would really like to go......not very Christian on a few heads. There are people there posting in the marriage section about their spouses cheating, their spouses being addicted to porn....and they are getting thoughts like "Love them out of it." Like you just sing kum-ba-ya and throw rose petals and let God convicting them of their rutting around. Then there is the rebuke to a guy who confronted the OM....because he wasn't doing it out of concern for the man's soul. REALLYYYYYYY???????? And then I get rebuked for suggesting exposure and drawing a line in the sand with the WS. The whole "he who is without sin" phrase being tossed around.

I am tempted to just forget I ever found that site. But then what about people who come there hurting and hear all the hippie touchy feely crap? Man, I wish ML and a few other would join there and storm the gates. It just makes me sick that they are twisting Scripture to soft pedal confronting sin. If I vent the way I want over there....it will get removed. So I am stomping around here instead. If I didn't think it violated something, I'd but the web sites name right here.....but I don't want to get in trouble.

I guess that the people on that forum haven't read the 10 Commandments frown

I have never understood how anyone imagined it was "Christian" to aide and abet evil? That kind of Christianity serves the devil, not the Lord. crazy

Maybe God wants you to do just that? Maybe the fact that these posters are able to read your posts 'over there' is keeping them from seeking other sites and finding MB?

That's the thing that's always puzzled me about anything that stresses the word "Christian" - "Christian" by whose definition?

I suppose that phrase would be applicable ... if you were suggesting literally stoning someone. Which you're not. So it isn't. smile


If you are serious about saving your marriage, you can't get it all on this forum. You've got to listen to the Marriage Builders Radio show, every day. Install the app!

Can't tell you how much that tickles me MB, but then I realize again how many times Gods words are used like a drug to numb and pacify people from his presence and the discipline we all need from Him.

I can't recall the quote from a famous Christian speaker that put it in more eloquent words than that, but I will allways remember the spirit of it and how it spoke to me as truth. That is what is wonderful about the word of God, no matter how much it gets twisted around by so-called Christians, the truth is revealed to those who really listen and are in need of Him.

We really don't listen untill we know it is He who is speaking to us do we? Not untill we are alone and all our master plans have failed.

Reminds me of

John 10:27
My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:


If they really are looking desparatly for answers, they will find them if they really look. Sounds like they are looking for pacification, and embellishing it also.

What is most upsetting is they are misleading people using Gods name.

Matthew 18:6
But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.

I have a lot of different meanings in my mind that this speaks to, but to me it clearly says that those who seek to decieve others will not get away with anything, but yet swim in the bullcrap of thier own self-deception.

I almost always recommend Surviving an A and then tell them "there is also a web site." Yesterday I just threw caution to the wind and linked the address, telling this person basically that I couldn't in good conscience support the advice they were getting there, and that if they wanted real advice to come here.

I guess that was mean. But I could tell my blood pressure was getting high. I mean, I am not one of these legalistic rebuke them with a pole kind of people......but making someone feel as if they need to just quietly ENDURE abuse is......not anything like Christ's love. And enabling sin through this Woodstock approach......it just makes me so sad. Yeah, I actually used the word Woodstock.

I think between that stuff and the whole "public school is a demonic communist conspiracy, I was just about done yesterday smile
