cloud9,
I am not "fighting" people who do not agree with me. I have absolutely no idea how you believe that to be the case. All the "squabbling" is over me trying to get people to stay on topic and stop accusing me of things I didn't even do or say (outside their perceptions). I am literally clueless. Maybe you could find an example? I am also interested for you to point out where I have forced people to "swallow" the Bible as the whole truth. I've never said that. I've never implied it. I don't even BELIEVE that. So, again, I'm clueless. Any examples? Am I fighting "now"? No, I am correcting you. That's all I am ever doing around this place, and I'm going to have to continue until people get off my back and stop saying things that simply aren't true. You are asserting that I am doing things, saying and projecting things that I am not. The ONLY thing I am asserting is that I want to tell my story, but I cannot explain my story and how I see things without mentioning God, Jesus and the Bible. It does not concern me if people believe me or not. I can't control that. Nor do I wish to. Nowhere on this entire forum have I complained (even once) of whether people believe me or not. Al I want is for people to be sincere and genuine, and partake in frank and open conversation, without purposefully pulling my topics to the ground, and then wanting to go back to the tired old religious debates. I KNOW people are understanding my disdain, but few ill own up to it because it's too much fun. I've said it once. I've said it twice, I'm saying it again. All I want is for people to let their hangups and perceptions about "the Bible" go, and stop accusing me of force feeding it to people. I didn't come here to preach, I came here to participate on the forum with my stories. Regarding answering in my threads.. I've given up. I'm not replying in any of them anymore (at this moment in time). I can't continue with ANYTHING, until "enough" people get my whole point here that all the accusations against me and what I am purporting to be doing (wrong) is all false and baseless. Only then can I resume replying and participating in the forum -- in peace (hopefully). At this moment in time, I do not even consider myself a member, I'm just posting in this thread, waiting for enough people to say: "Ok, ok.. go and have your say, we'll listen and try to keep on topic".. That's all I want. It's really all I want. Nevertheless, I have taken note of your information about Mrs. Cannon and I intend to research it. I will respond to it after that (assuming that I'm still bothering with this forum). |

I have been on this site since day one and have never seen someone throw such a hissy fit about getting their story told... If you have something to tell us then tell us. It really is that simple... If you don't like how people react then ignore them... Simple strategy but you keep making it sooooo complicated

I am trying to get the administration and moderators of the forum to realise that there's a problem and to take action to keep things more serious and intelligent before I am able to resume posting. I am doing EVERYTHING I can to instigate a more appropriate spirit on this forum, but it's not going well. My best guess is that I will not be posting here for much longer. |

Am I fighting "now"? No, I am correcting you. That's all I am ever doing around this place, and I'm going to have to continue until people get off my back and stop saying things that simply aren't true. You are asserting that I am doing things, saying and projecting things that I am not. About your replay I just want to say: I never said "you" were forcing people to swallow the bible, please read again and you'll see I was talking in general, I said "people". You don't need to correct me or anybody else, a forum is a place where people give their opinions and comunicate with others interested in the same subject. You truly remaind me of the gay guy in the movie "The Secret" who was convinced everybody was against him and his life was miserable because of that until he decided to think the opposite was true, he stopped fighting and feeling attacked and everything changed. All I'm trying to do is helping you to see that perhaps with a different approach your message would be heard for everybody but at the end it's your decision. I'm not attacking you in any way, more so I'm very interested in your experiences if you decide to tell them, why not stop fighting and resisting and just talk? By the way, I don't understand how from my post you can say that I'm asserting you are doing things, saying and projecting things that you are not. All I'm trying to do is encouraging you to finally deliver the message but also to take a look at your attitude, perhaps you'll be able to see where the problem is. Anyway, again I need to tell you I think you are a messenger and I'm sure a special one so why not just to say it like it is and let people do whatever they want to do with it? You are tuly a warrior. Peace. |

Start a new thread with a topic other then a desperate last try and talk about something real! I know you will get reply's to your topic. But please do refrain from writing extra long posts that start off with a threat of war and then as i said endless complaining of how much life sux around here. Welcome to the team! I really mean that.Peace JT |

I have TRIED to make topics before. They always go the same way. The context of the thread is ignored and a hoard of Bible haters are allowed to hijack the thread and turn it in to reasons all about why they hate the Bible and religion. If there wasn't a problem, I wouldn't be complaining about it. I'm not starting ONE more serious thread about any of my life experiences or concerns until this problem is settled. Further, I have already answered your response within the original post. |

You need to understand that most people are here to discuss certain things and to avoid discussing other things. I am sure most people are respectful if you're religious, but from what they've seen, they don't want to hear that kind of message, and that's something you either don't realize, or do realize but are insistent upon sharing your truth anyway. Bottom line, its a matter of energy, and your vibes have been mostly negative, be a little more positive friend. If my memory serves correct, aren't you the one who says there is only "one truth"? Because I'd also disagree with that. If you perceive Bible haters (as you say) on this forum, then why continue participating in such a forum? There are many other places to find souls just like yourself, help validate your belief system, and in this case I think it would be a positive thing. Because obviously, judging simply from the titles of your threads... there is actually no room in your book for others who don't accept and go as far to criticize. You either debate with positivity and speaking in short concise terms; leaving the reader with a good impression of your message overall. Or, you find somewhere there is No criticism, no disagreement with your views, and life goes on happily ever after. Merry Christmas, |

I'm lost on what your point is. Nowhere, ever, not even once, did I EVER complain about people not agreeing with me. All I want is for people to stay on topic and stop injecting things that I didn't even DO, SAY, BELIEVE OR PROMOTE into responses. |

Warrior, what is just one thing, one insight you want to share? It doesn't have to be one of a major complicated insight.
Start with a short simple one. In anticipation, Robyn |

I am just trying to make everyone see that there needs to be better moderation on the forum to insist people stay on topic and stop the consensus that it's ok to beat on the Jesus guy. Once we can all get THERE, I can post a lot of stories all about my life -- many of which I am quite sure people will be interested in. But I just cannot do that unless people learn to stay on topic and stop accusing me of beliefs that I don't hold and didn't promote. |

I have a SINCERE and GENUINE problem, unlike all the people in this thread posting sarcasm and mockery. The moderators and administrators of this forum need to seriously review how it allows members to behave. You have responded to this thread many times, but you have offered nothing constructive -- just a heap of negative and insulting digs and pokes. You have contributed absolutely nothing towards the concerns I have outlined in the original post. You are yet another one of the mob, beating on the guy who everyone else is beating on. You're actually enjoying it. I can tell you. You're not sincere. You're just happy to watch someone squirm. That's the truth right there. Problem is I don't squirm. I'll stand here and stick to my word, no matter how many people gang up and abuse me. That doesn't make me the one with the problem. It makes anyone who joins a mob to beat on a sole person the ones with the real problem. Just because I am alone here, copping abuse, it does not make me the one who is wrong. You all know tat too -- but you don't care. I have my chin up high... NEXT insult.. I'll just keep flapping my arms until someone realises the true spirit of this forum. ONE person can defeat a million if he is sincere. Keep bashing people.. Bash me until you're exhausted.. I will be still standing here. When ONE person sticks up for my concerns (which are sincere and founded) and doesn't join the mob, I will respect you. |

Well Warrior,I was interested in what you had to say but if you don't feel this is going to work for you, I understand.
Consider that if this forum is not already set up in a way that will work for you, this may not be the forum in which to express your insights. There are many forums on the net and it will be far easier to find another one that already meets your specifications more closely. This one is highly unlikely to make the changes that work for you. It is what it is. Accept that and move on. It's a little like going to another country and insisting natives accomodate you rather than adapting to the customs there - as poor as those customs may be. All the best, Robyn Quote:

I do not have any specifications except for a request for people to stay sincere and stay on topic. I wish that to be backed up by proper moderation. |

Will your next post be defending your right to free speech (which you already have) or will it be continuing to share your story? The right to free speech has to go hand in hand with the right for people to choose to believe. It's up to you. Are you the war monger or the peach bringer? Will you serve the forum or will you fight it? |
