WTH happened in here?

[Annella]

oh sorry, didn't know you all get to decide whats offensive and what isnt- yet any degrading name for a christian is acceptable

Will it never end....

Once again, when it has absolutely nothing to do with anything christian, you have to play the same old card from your hand. The poor and debased christians come into play so that being offensive to another group of people can be downplayed.

Will it never end?  Probably not!  Thing is......it's the believers (Christians) that seem to get your abrasive postings and offensive put downs.  The Christians are especially treated to your scathing remarks.  Excuse us for making the connection......that is so clearly there.  Your insinuating that Mackenzie was offensive to any "group" of people when YOU made the comment about slang words pertaining to certain types of races and peoples......when she did not, is projecting a falsehood.

Quite trying to accuse her of things said or (by your judgement) implied, when all you are doing is trying to stir up a hornet's nest.  A lot of what was in your post about calling a black person n****r, or some black person eating chicken or some such nonsense......CAME FROM YOU!!!!!  What in the world were you trying to reference with those kinds of stereotypes?  Another thing, I don't recall Mackenzie even referring to such.  Are you for real?  Talk about putting words in someone's mouth.

Stop trying to make reference to something that wasn't said, or make it damaging, when there was no reference to it at all. Who are you to judge who and what kind of friends she has?  You accused her of such audacity, when in truth your whole post is such.

Annella, I have come to the conclusion that you are just not able to look out beyond your tunnel vision of christianity long enough (if at all) to see there is a whole world out there that exists beyond it. I did not put words in anyone's mouth and my remarks were mine. I never said they were mack's, or anyone else's.

Do NOT confuse my posts with Cuppycake's, or any of the other non-regular D&D posters, who jump in randomly and DO call you christians names and tell you all to go play with invisible friends. You will NOT be able to because they are not there to find, period.

I call it like I see it and that 'dyke' comment and what followed had nothing to do with christians, but as I said, the 'christian card' was played again. That is not a sign of intelligence when all anyone can do is continue to come back to the same old thing, time after time. It is like a small child ending each and every argument with one of their playmates with, "Well, my dad can still beat up your dad, so there!"

I honestly don't think you have enough going for you in the thought department to come up with anything outside of a christian perspective - regardless of what we happen to be discussing at the time. I was off here for 10 days, other than a casual glance, because I was teaching classes to R.N.'s. I posted in this thread (you were upset because Walks had rekindled it, remember?) because the remark made by mack angered and upset me. If you did not like Walks rekindling the thread, which he had EVERY right to, why bother posting your (unnecessary) input? Find something else to complain about. Perhaps something more worthy. Have a wonderful day.

I posted to all of you (Walksalone, Falconer, and you).  While you criticize anything we say as Christians, it seems to be common behavior for you nonbelievers to "gang up" on a Christian when no other Christians are on line, or you think they aren't.  While some may hold back, I will not.  If you know nothing of me by now.....know this....I will stick up and "back" any believer, or friend, on this forum.  I've been very careful of posting anything to anyone, and have been posting in other threads.  However, if you all want to light the negative candle again and "corner" one of my friends, or a believer, get ready for the battle, because I won't shy away from it one bit.  Since Walksalone did rekindle the thread, my question was why?  Because he wanted to stir the pot again?  Those were my words.

Attacking my intelligence with your slanted talk of "tunnel vision" and "I don't have a lot going for me in the thought department" shows just how "low" you're capable of stooping with your put downs.  No matter what, you have to say some degrading or demeaning thing to any believer.  It's your MO, and the other 2 that post put downs to believers.  So your defense of "I don't call you names" is thwarted.

While you berate me for answering your post.....it's the same argument you've always had.....see your words below:  

Why do you feel the need to stick your nose into every reply when they have nothing to do with you and are not addressed to you?

Why?  Because this is a public forum, and you were degrading and demeaning a friend of mine...Christian or not, and I have every right to post whatever I feel.  Since when do you control this forum?  In other words, I should just sit back, and let you verbally tear down my friends, and yes...Christians, and say nothing.  This has been your complaint over and over.  That we actually stick up for ourselves, and you don't like it.....too bad!  You take one word and make a complete "throw down" over it, when you're so insulting to anyone who professes to be a Christian.  Yeah, Christians, because those are the ones your so foul to.

Hey, for one thing, why is Walksalone posting on a week dead thread, if not to stir up trouble?  Nobody had posted in this thread for a week until he posted out of the blue....only to get something going.  Since he started it, he's trying to keep it going I guess.

 

Well, damn MeeMaw, some of us do have a life besides FC you kno?
I was busy in the real doing stuff worth a hell of a lot more to me then the few pennies a day available here. I posted on here the next time I got online.

I guess I need to once again remind you that you have absolutely no authority on here.
You are continuously trying to boss members around on here.Shut up with that already.

If it stresses you when members exercise their right by posting when ever and what ever they wish then perhaps you should put a few more of us on ignore, otherwise, if you don't like it.....tough *bleep*, Reverend.

[SurveyMack10]

Another thing.....I applaud anyone going to any higher education outside of high school Marieelissa wether it be college, Tech. school, etc.  In this day and age, furthering your education, and/or marketable skills, takes some brave incentive considering the cost, and everything else it takes to "make the grade".  Not including if you can even find a job afterward with those marketable skills in this economy?

Mackenzie is probably on FC to make a little extra moolah like all the rest of us, and deserves it.  I believe she's working part time also as to further her education.  I can't remember everything she told me, but it seemed like a big load to carry for a young woman.  I respect her for that, and all you can do is tear her down?

Give yourself a hand.............

Well she is lacking one thing and it is the ability to be nice. Christians are suppost to be like God and the behavior I seen from lots of them show that they are not with God what so ever.

The ability to be nice?  Oh please.....I can't believe you of all people can post these words?  Your on ignore for now.

Do you really think me being on ignore hurts my feelings? I could care less and why do you guys feel the need to announce it 

Then quit talking about it 4 posts later.

I just addressed the comment. So once again stfu and mind your business.

Who's not nice now?

Ya kno, you sure do like to talk a lot of *bleep* with no evidence to back it all the time. Show a quote from me telling anyone not to post.

Members posting does not stress me, but I will come to the aid of a fellow Christian and friend....so get used to it. If you took time to read the previous posts, you would see that my right to post was questioned, not the other way around.  

What I asked was why after a week did you think it was a good thing to stir the pot again?  Let me remind you that you have no authority here either.  As far as telling me to shut up.....you have NO authority there either.  I will post whatever I feel is a proper response to whatever filth you spew out to my fellow brothers, sisters, or friends. All your "ganging up" on one person speaks volumes of your character. Your cursing and foul derogatory remarks do also.

If you eschew the few pennies a day you make on here, then why have you been here for a year?  I happen to love this site and the few extra dollars a month I make to help out wherever.

Your response makes no sense at all.  However....this is D&D, and we all enter at our own risk, so man up!

Annella:

Since when do you control this forum?  In other words, I should just sit back, and let you verbally tear down my friends, and yes...Christians, and say nothing.

I don't say, remotely consider, or think I control this forum, because I don't and I also do not care to, period. I am tired of you alone always jumping into every single thing I post and getting on your high horse about it. As for this:

This has been your complaint over and over.  That we actually stick up for ourselves, and you don't like it.....too bad!  You take one word and make a complete "throw down" over it, when you're so insulting to anyone who professes to be a Christian.  Yeah, Christians, because those are the ones your so foul to.

I have no problem now and have had no problem in the past with other christians on this forum. You are the only one I seem to have a problem with and I stated why above. I believe there have been only a couple times when I have had any kind of discussion with mack personally and it really has not been as huge a deal as you make it out to be. Stick up for people all you want, but stop telling me THAT is what I don't like. DO NOT accuse me of being foul to ALL christians, because I am not. What I don't like is how you approach things. You may be the nicest person in the world, but not on this forum and this is where I interact with you. I'm sorry if I don't have you up on a pedestal and I am not afraid of offending you if need be. If other people on here, who happen to be christian, feel I have insulted or been so foul to them on a continuing basis then let THEM speak up about it and stop speaking for everyone else. You are the one I keep hearing this from. Where are the rest of these posters I have been so awful to? Why aren't they voicing the same things you do time after time? You might do well to stop being the teacher for a minute and start being the pupil because I don't seem to have these go arounds with anyone but you. I have mentioned before you might do yourself a favor and learn how to approach someone who doesn't have the same beliefs you do because you are so close-minded you can't seem to get past that. Don't excuse your own rudeness and scathing remarks in the name of christianity - they are wrong whether you are a christian or not.
Goodnight all.

Goodnight all.

My rude and scathing remarks as you put it are not anything of the kind.  What I post is complete truth, and point out your ability to play the innocent when you are anything but.  Anybody who reads these posts can come to the conclusion that I'm coming to the defense of a friend, or discounting your posts as garbled nonsense, and you try to put other meanings and words to Mackenzie's post, when she had no thought or intent to post such a thing.  Your very good at this, and then playing innocent.

I have no problem approaching people with no beliefs or adverse beliefs in the world.  I don't think you would talk to me the way you do in real life, because believe me, you would get the same response, as you get here.  If you came into my church spouting this kind of stuff, you would be shown the door.  Surprised?  You shouldn't be.  I would no more have you come into the congregation of believers and wreck havoc than I would anyone. Remember, the Shepherd protects the sheep.

There are times when someone out of their ignorance may offend in word or deed because they know no better.  That's completely different than what your doing.  That isn't the case with you, is it?  You go out of your way to degrade anything to do with any belief in God or profess Christianity.  You claim to have been a Christain yourself, and now your not.  That was your own decision, but now it seems your out to subvert anyone else that professes Christianity, etc.  NO, I'm not the only one you have spewed your discontent on.  I'm the one who calls you on your garbage more than the others.  Case in point....Mackenzie above, and she hasn't been on this forum that long. 

However, lately, you have made it a point to come after me time after time on this forum.  Anyone can read the posts for themselves and come to their own conclusions.  Thing is, I'm not backing down from you anymore, and you don't like it.  As far as telling me that I should be a pupil, I'm a pupil everyday, so is every Christian.  You try your best to descredit my stand for God, and all it does is pull the cover off of what is in your own heart, and what's driving you. 

It's sad.   However, it's not to late for anyone to find the road back to life, and the God who loves them more than they can ever imagine.  The Bible says that God is married to the backslider.  Even though we may have left Him, He never leaves us....though we have a time appointed unto us for this decision.

[Annella]

Hey in the end times, christians are going to go through turmoil so just brace yourself.

  Hey..."in the end times"?    Christians go through turmoil from the moment they decide to become a Christian.  I get just as tired of non-believers thinking Christians live a problem-free, happy life as they get of thinking Christians live a problem-free, happy life.  Think about it...satan has NO reason to give non-believers a hard time, why would he want to discourage them...why would he want to give them a reason to go looking for God?  His mission is to keep the lost "lost"--- keep them blind & keep them tied.  He goes after the Christians, he tries everything in his power to discourage them, to get them to blame God instead of him.  He has alot of tricks and it must be such a sweet victory for him for each Christian he turns away from God.  In the "end times", he knows he's running out of time so he'll be steppin' up his game is all.  I'm living for the day when he gets what he deserves!!  Annella said it best when she said in another thread that she will dance at his funeral---I bet ALL of God's angels will as well, they have got to be SO SICK of him & his "antics" after all this time!!

Just found this little nugget of wisdom from you Sheryl.  In the last days (I believe we are in them), the enemy will exault himself against anything or anyone pertaining to God.  Not that he hasn't always done it, but he knows his time is very short, and he's pulling out all the stops (just what Sheryl said).

Becoming a Christian throws you directly into a battle for your soul, and those lost souls around you.  It takes guts to live the life of a Christian, and defend the Faith.  How easy to profess that God doesn't exist, and ride the wave of least resistance.  I've said it before.....if Chrisitanity is a crutch....I'd like 2 please.

for some reason, when I was serving in your NAVY, my superiors didn't mind and in fact encouraged rough language.

There is a reason why I rarely post any thing of a personal nature, why I don't post my earnings banner nor my pic.

My fight is for "The People" period. Not for myself.
If you think bad of me, so be it.

If everyone on here thinks the same, so be it.

At least I admit my short comings and have done so on here a few times, and don't portray myself as some self righteous, holier then thou demi-god or something.

You think you know me?
Against my better judgement I will tell you a couple things about me.

I am often admonished by my elders for my attitude, too. They say I should start practicing to behave as an Elder.

However, I am 15 years away from attaining that status, and honestly, I wont live that long.

Early in 2008 I was diagnosed with adult onset leukemia, which JDog can verify is incurable. It can be treated however, I refused treatment as I know that the side effects of it would put me out of the fight. So far I feel pretty good and have lost in excess of 80 pounds and still have my strength so can continue the fight where ever it is. I travel all over the country often to various events any time I can be of assistance.

My Mother and my oldest Brother had their first heart attacks at the age of 42. I just had my first about 3 weeks ago at age 45,when I mentioned to Annella I hadnt been well.

So you see, I don't have the luxery of time nor much in the way of concern to put a lot of attention on myself. I am very expendable, just as is every other individual. The whole is what matters.

Therefor, I wont be selfishly wasting time that is more deserving to the People, trying to "better" myself simply to suit you or others who are annoyed with the "chip on my shoulder".

I just plain do not have time to worry with trivial *bleep*.

As for why I am here. I whole heartedly believe that education in one of the biggest keys to the betterment of the lives of my People. It would be pretty foolish of me to segregate myself to only groups of fellow Natives. That would kinda be preaching to the choir dontcha think?
Of course, I can see why some people would rather do that.....no dissenting views, eh Annella?

I will not be elaborating further on what I have posted here so don't waste your time asking. If you want to talk issues that I deal with, besides my personal ones, fine, I will spend as much time as you like, but the subject of me personally is off the table, period
