This Is What I have Noticed

Dear RightFromWrong,

Dr. Bob is my hero he is sound and well balanced and I love his bow tie, if only I had the courage to sport such a tie, then I too could be sound and well balanced and finally be a true outspoken conservative instead of only holding aspirations.

May God Bless Dr. Bob with many spiritual and temporal blessings for I know a church in Cookeville TN. which received much encouragement toward organization last year because of the love and compassion of Dr. Bob.

Please do not make assessments of people based upon the areas of truth they are burdened to defend. If you do please do not go to the Calvinism/Arminianism forum as you will see in the archives and in some more recent posts my own impassioned defense of what I believe to be Biblical truth.

We each have our idea of what is and is not absolute truth, I admire your stand on what you believe however you must learn that through discussion boards and email lists people are not facing you and do not have liberty to observe your body gestures nor mine and often our words are perceived (honestly and innocently) as being judgmental, arrogant and prideful. The closer a specific topic is to us as truth the more likely we are to become emotional in our defense of it.

Because you seemed to wrongfully assess Dr. Bob I have edited your post; I am now editing all other posts that give the same appearance toward other members.

Please, give your topics time to gain interest among the new posters and measure your words in your opening posts and responses so that you do not scare new members away. Many old members have seen these discussions several times and simply opt to not participate, those who do subsequently opt to discontinue participation when they feel attacked or either move into defense mode. I am no more or no less, often I try to bite my tongue and simply ignore certain posts, at other times I fail in this attempt and find myself indulging in the flesh to enter into argument rather than edifying discussion or debate.

I truly believe you are the kind of person you describe to us in person, however, you say no one knows you on here so for that reason it is ok to become someone else who is or gives the appearance of being intolerant of varying opinions or open disagreements?

You are certainly wise and Scriptural in remaining silent in your church and Bible study meetings, this is not the church, you have every opportunity to post and engage in wonderful blessed discussion and even lively debate, but remember even the best debaters sometimes must learn to take it on the chin.

May God Richly Bless us all to learn more of His Grace and Mercy,
Bro. Dallas Eaton

Sorry to dig up old history from page one but need to. Took time out to watch city council and three more pages magically appeared

"I know the fact I am a women wasn't to my advantage. So I will take all these male comments with a grain of salt."

I could say that is a very sexist thing to say, but I wouldn't dare and anyway I probably wouldn't (Yes, that is a ploy to say what may be on my mind without saying it So, de ploy me, I'm sure someone will want to

Didn't know you were one of them, nor did anything I said include any bias at all.

Nor is that the reason I haven't responded

Boards are full of strange people, strange ideas, and if that bothers you find something else to do.

As to protecting the folks on the board from false teaching, that is a job not you nor any dozen people can do except the Spirit that lives within them, so don't take on more responsibility than you should. Yes, speak what you feel is the truth, but some will bow to false teaching and some will reject it.

Even with a cute graemlin, this is very inappropriate. So now we move to a public warning of RightfromWrong - please watch your posts AND your attitude or you will lose your freedom to post.

Thank you.

I don't think there's anything foolish in a person knowing they could be wrong. Omnipotence is an attribute of God, not us.

I remember fondly the community of Paron. When I was kid, we had RA's camp at Paron...and it was very meaningful to me.

May God bless you in your ministry. Perhaps, someday when you are in LR, we could get together and have lunch or something.

Joseph Botwinick

Dear Brother Joseph,
I would enjoy that very much. Thank you for your prayers for the ministry here and for the community of Paron, Thank you to Brother Ed. We do certainly need all your prayers for strength and humility.

We love Paron and have been very much blessed here by the Lord; in some ways it is a study in contrasts, if you know what I mean.

I have learned much humility since being here and I praise the Lord for that virtue being added to me.

Bro. Dallas Eaton

P.S. I will be hoping for an opportunity to meet as the Lord is willing and would like to invite you to visit us here at Unity. We are on Unity Road 4.5 miles from downtown Paron, but don't blink or you will miss us

In the middle of Everywhere and nowhere

 

[RightFromWrong]

Mercury.....Thats a fine principle in person, but why should one have to on a board when open discussion is allowed and the fact you don't get interupted. I agree, in person that is very wise to walk away, I have done that lots of time myself. I know when it is best to shut up.

On the board though. I am not one to make really long post like some people so i keep it short and to the point with the understanding I can expand later if I need to.

so whats wrong with that ?

If I was a Pastor, Mod, or Admin. had a Dr. before my name, Or even a man I wouldn't be treated as i am here.

Hey...you haven't seen nowhere until you see where my wife grew up...

Joseph Botwinick

 

[Dr. Bob]

Until I went to the Moderator's Forum (where problems get discussed) I did not know you were a woman.

When I found that, I was appalled at your language and inuendo toward Joseph. Actually, I HAVE a "doctor" in front of my name and if I talked that way to a woman, I would hope the moderators would warn me to be careful.

Please.

 

[RightFromWrong]

I was making a point and you know it. Trying to bait me ?

 

[SAMPLEWOW]

again if Iwere looking for salvation I'd go to the bar at least they dance there.

 

[Joseph_Botwinick]

AGAIN...

I think that would be a very poor place to look for salvation. You would probably have better luck looking in the Bible, or perhaps, speaking with a Christian friend.

What point would that be? Evidently Jbot got tired of your syruppy pseudo-piety sooner than I did.

We're trying to KEEP you here and not get suspended. This is a highly moderated site and you have caught the attention of a number of moderators.

Hang in there, and simply be careful what you post. Nobody here trying to hurt you - only trying to help you see how a little change could help.

RFW, you should not listen to PM's about others -- that is talking behind people's backs. Why don't you give yourself time to get to know people?

You are not being attacked -- you are being given advice. Good advice. You should heed it. In fact, you have made personal negative remarks to people here that surprise me. Try to stick to the topics and don't make personal remarks.

And being a woman has nothing to do with any post responding to you. There are plenty of us women who post on the BB and I have not noticed any problems or bias with that except from one person who used to post and is not around anymore. He wasn't here that long, either.

Please take the advice!

We are told here that we were called because we fit in so well; when I came last August (04) in view of a call to pastor, I told them just what I was and what I believe, that is I showed them my Official Hillbilly Dictionary and they still voted to call me. We have been blessed to be made at home here and most people in the community receive us very well.


May God Richly Bless you and your family in all your life and service to Him.

Whew!!!!!!!! My CD Burner takes SOOOOOOOO LOOOOOOOOOONG! Now that it is finally done, I can finally go to bed. Brother Dallas, that was so funny man. I will talk to you guys later.

[RightFromWrong]

I know what pms to listen to and which not to. If someone is confirming what I know to be true than it is true for me.

I have yet to sway you about ME so why do you think you all can sway me about them ?

 

[SAMPLEWOW]

at this point neither would this place JOSEPH

 

[Dr. Bob]

This is what I noticed - this thread has been used for hateful and hurtful words and so will be shut down. It serves no purpose any longer (if it ever did).
