Annella:Jordandog and qon. Neither one of you believe the Bible or that there is a God. The fact that I do quote scripture to make my point makes you angry. It comes with the territory. It's my career. You have posted long posts on your career jordondog. Don't I have the right to post my stance or opinion, even if it disagrees with yours?
Wait a minute - you are actually comparing what I do to your 'career'? I believe I have integrated what I do for a living in a total of 5 or 6 posts because it happened to be pertinent to the discussion. I do NOT post medical info, quote jargon from textbooks, journals, C.E. symposiums, or anything else in 98% of my replies. That is the opposite of what you do, so I hardly think there is a comparison. You can take this anyway you want, but your 'career' up against mine? I deal in the real world, using real methods, and actual interpretation of facts. I do not do it by using words that have NO factual basis - yes, I know to you all they do. If I talked people into healing, there just might be a comparison. Don't get me going on how many people, from newborns to the elderly, I have seen die unnecessarily because of screwed up religious beliefs that told them to deny medical treatment. I am still worried that the men in your church who (supposedly) were 'ravaged by AIDS' stopped treatments. They were NOT 'cured', they can infect others, and they will die and you have NO idea how much that bothers me and how many times it crosses my mind. That is a very touchy subject for me, so please don't pull out the 'miracle card'. I have already written there are things that can't be explained.
Jordondog, according to you, my love on here is false. My postings of prayer for someone, or "hearts" etc., you called phony. Your attack on my character is absolutely the very thing your accusing me of.
NO, you took that partially out of context. I said [not exact words] they were applied to your chosen few on here that believe and think along the same lines - those I cannot say are false, only you know your feelings, not me. I said I detest fake fawning out of anyone and that is how some of it comes across in my opinion - this is a public forum, not a Hallmark card making site. You seem to go overboard on it whenever things get heated between the 2 sides of the debates. If anyone is being attacked, all of a sudden out comes all the platitudes and it's the passive-aggressive you do not seem to be able to understand even though others seem to. It's like the parent who beats the child and tells them they are "doing it because they love them". You throw down with a personal attack on someone and then turn around and tell the next how much you love them or whatever it is. You don't realize that NONE of US (unless the others do and I am not privy to it) - me, QON, Walks, Falconer, etc. - talk on the phone, e-mail each other, Facebook post, etc., but you do. We do not know what the other one is going to post, yet we all seem to be on the same page even if it is NOT something to do with the Bible. Now, why is that? We don't get together and 'plot' what we are going to say. You have FAR more believers on here now than non-believers yet you make it sound as if we 3 are are huge pack of feral dogs waiting to sink our teeth into your leg. It is really quite comical and shows insecurity more than anything. While saying that, let me add this. I found it very interesting that QON can and has taken umpteen pages in multiple threads of very personal 'attacks' from all of you posting one right after the other, but rarely has one of 'us' jumped in to intercede for her. In those cases it is the many against the one, but she doesn't seem to take it personally which is what debating is supposed to be. We all get down to a personal level at times, as I have also said before. Too many times anything said against religion et al, and not specifically what all of you believe, is taken as a personal attack when it's not. There have been plenty of times I have wanted to defend QON, but I don't feel it is my place. I have said if she wants to defend her stance, she is more than capable of it without help. If anyone is strong in what they stand for, then attacks come with the territory and should be almost expected. Hey, at least we still agree on ice-cream and long naps, right?
Since it's a touchy subject with you and you demanding me not to pull out the "miracle card" kind of tells me "I believe what I want, and don't want to give you a bit of leeway in what you believe". Here it is
"Miracle Card". I've offered to give you names and numbers of people I don't know or have any contact with, to tell you that AIDS victims have been "healed" of AIDS. You refused!! Implying that they would probably say they were healed or give testimony of such so I shouldn't bother. So what you were really saying is that you believed they would be lying to you? Well....the offer has been rescinded, and you can deny all you want, you will not be provided with anything from here on out. As far as an AIDS person infecting another would require some pretty close contact (sexual). Are you implying that we are in favor of extramarital relations? You should know better than that. Somehow I find it very funny that these people that have had AIDS, and are now healed, have
not infected ANYBODY for years. Well, thank you for making my career so much less important than yours. Uh, yes you have posted medical jargon, textbook subjects and such. Why don't you just come out and say you don't like me posting my Christian beliefs and be done with it. All your explanation is basically saying this, so just say it.
As far as us Christians getting together and plotting what we are going to say on this forum is ludicrous, and imaginary thinking on your part! Not one of us Christians that have contact outside this forum "plots" anything to write here. What we do talk about is actually
none of your business since it's friends exchanging private happenings or thoughts among us. So you can surmise all you want, or imagine what you think is going on, but you would be wrong. We have so many other things to attend to, besides you....and this forum. If you and your cronies don't get together....well, what has that got to do with the price of bread? We happen to like each others company outside of this venue. Maybe you 3 wouldn't like each other? Just a thought.
As far as coming to defense of qon, walksalone, etc., I've seen you all come to each others defense. I've also observed all of you gang up on one person, and try to take them down verbally. No I'm not talking just me either. What you don't like is the united front that we Christians have for each other. Or the LOVE
![FusionCash Loves You :heart:](//d1o9fadw0wez7f.cloudfront.net/Smileys/Lots_O_Smileys/heart.png)
we have for our fellow brothers and sisters in Christ. As far as posting a "Hallmark" moment as you accused me of doing. Believe me, there are not enough icons to explain my love for whomever I want to express it.
Which is also none of your business! When you start writing the rules of this forum, then you can complain.
Wait a minute!!! Are you comparing your postings next to ours? I mean really? Yes, we all post on a personal level at times, but we don't call names, and get down with your kind of filthy talk (cursing and what not). When that happens, we come to defense of our friends, sisters, or brothers. You don't like the fact that we do defend each other. You would like the opportunity to verbally "shred" whoever you want without any opposition!! Let me remind you just recently you called me a "b"!! Has any Christian called you anything like that on this forum? NO!! So quit whining about people defending others from your verbal onslaught.
Debating is one thing, attacking is another. Learn the difference! If I want to intercede for my friends on here or they for me, what in the world is that to you?? Attacks do not come with the territory. It's a DEBATE and DISCUSS forum! Are you really standing on what you wrote? Attacks come with the territory? ![Roll Eyes ::)](//d1o9fadw0wez7f.cloudfront.net/Smileys/Lots_O_Smileys/rolleyes.gif)
There's a way to debate that does not require an attacking mode. Not one Christian on here will attack anyone. Sometimes
they get attacked or provoked so severely as they have no other choice but to defend themselves.
