Thank you for the welcomes, but I'm not actually a new member. I used to go under Penguin Boy, then Eladamri. I've had three welcomes now, but they still are a lot of fun. I don't know if anyone recognizes my old names (I'm pretty quiet and don't post much), but thanks for the greetings. (Again)

I agree Sis, as again, there ARE good legit churches out there, if you make an effort to find them. I try not to look at the Fakes on TV, as they are really a small minority in comparison to legitimate churches.

(not lurking, i was uploading an MP3 to Mouse while I ate dinner and was curious to see what other comments were being made in this thread since I was here to find his e-mail address) It may be all well and fine for some people to expose themselves to hypocrisy within the walls of a church but some people (like myself), prefer to take a more honest approach to our christianity, our lives, and with what we do and surround ourselves with. It is this approach to life that makes it so hard to find a truly good place of worship and it has plenty of people, true christian people, convinced that to do what they can when and where they can as opposed to making that public appearance every Sunday is well worth not attaching ourselves to the idea of being known as faithful for our appearance in church, but letting our faith be known to any and to all, anywhere and at any time. To see christainity taken advantage of for the sake of a showing of self-glorification through the type of people who will attend church knowing they surround themselves with hypocrites but actively avoiding those people in that social surrounding is exactly why I remain a christian of courageous conviction who prefers to worship outside those walls of hypocrisy. To say that those false christians who do attend church should be docked makes the people who really believe that no better than the people they would like to see docked...christianity is not about reducing the number of people you allow to worship with you but to uplift your fellow man in an example that might instill within them, the desire to be a better christian. Not going to church does not make any christian any less of a christian than churchgoers nor does it make them any less a christian in God's eyes. It is what we do from our hearts, not what we do for "show" that God sees. Fljotsdale, Yes, I feel much pride in Rex's grandmother, but even moreso, I feel extremely blessed to have become a part of this family. We are of like minds and I no longer feel so alone in the world for doing my best to be a good person to those I can help in any way. Bummer. My mail to Mouse came back as undeliverable because it exceeds storage limitation. MOUSE! Empty your mailbox and let me know with an e-mail!

What the hell? I thought this thread was for everyone to say their own personal views on things.?? Moni, your reply is nothing but nasty: "Well, aren't you just noble!" Geez, I give up, I keep trying to give you another chance and be your friend, even though I have seen many flames from you and your boyfriend "Khan", not to mention the hate e-mails that you have sent to certain members. I thought that we had all gotten over our differences after the past few strenuous days, guess not. I Do not see anywhere where Cloudy said anything that was offensive in any way, shape or form. Why do you post ugliness? Jeez, we all are of different religions around the world here on this forum, that must be recognized and accepted. ------------------ [This message has been edited by ladyzekke (edited 09-15-2001).] |

Also you might want to look up the word "dock". I don't know what your education level is but in the reference that cloudy used it was the same as saying "reduced"...so much for people being allowed to have their own religious beliefs. As far as Moni sending hate mail to anyone...she shared a christian poem with cloudy...where did that turn into hate mail? Maybe you should check your source before you post this kind of thing on IW. Moni's left the board and can't defend herself...is that why you are here to post your nastiness? Their was nothing wrong with what she said, it's her opinion and shes entitled to it. So I am her best friend & boy friend in real life. What's wrong with that? Flame away as I'm sure you will do. But get your facts straight and understand the words you are coming here to defend. -Cheers- ------------------ "Heads are gonna roll..." [This message has been edited by KHaN (edited 09-15-2001).] |

I sensed the 'noble' comment may have been a bit sarcastic, but in case I misread that, I just want to say that yes, I try. Noble is not a bad thing, or at least not that I know of.

On the contrary, I am not flaming, just stating that Cloudy's post was not an attack on anyone, just her personal feelings as to how she perceives things. Moni's reference to Cloudy feeling herself "noble" seemed inappropriate, and a subtle dig to me. If I'm wrong, then what did she mean by that? Just was hoping that all past differences were done and over with, I KNOW that we all have different religious opinions, we just should all appreciate those differences, and just "let it be" and not get angry at eachother or make snide comments, as they don't do us any good, only creates animosity, and at a time like this, we all need to come together and be friends, despite our differences. ------------------ |
