Do you believe in the afterlife?

[Annella]

Yes, I think we are spiritual beings here on earth in physical bodies to learn lessons. When our physical bodies die our spirits continue on.

Your right, we will all spend eternity somewhere.

[amyrouse]

Annella, if you're going to say something, then say it.  Stand by your words.  If that means taking 5 minutes before posting something to think it over, then do it.  This posting and deleting is childish.

And, yes, I know you deleted me.  You deleted your entire profile.  Speak in truths.  You may not have considered me more than an acquaintance; yet, how many acquaintances do you invite to stay at your house?  You also mentioned once you wanted to meet me just so you could hug my little girl.  If that is something you say to all your acquaintances, I find it quite creepy.

Again, you disappoint me.

[Annella]

Wow... just wow. 

I signed onto FC just over an hour ago and have spent that time wading through this.  There is so much here in this thread that I couldn't begin to address it all even if I tried.  Here, though, is my attempt.

First, I have to say that yesterday I had a bad day at work (for which I am grateful, because I now have a job, but still...) and therefore, when I felt my fuse burning out, I had to walk away and hit "ignore" to keep myself from saying something harsh and way out of line.  Sheryl was right; I was hurt badly.  I do not like, however, to say something in the heat of the moment that I may later regret.  Consider it my personal "pause" button. 

I have to say, though, that Annella chiding me for "slamming" her seemed incredibly hypocritical since a few months back I issued a simple hello to both her and Jordandog and I was jumped as though I was a spectator with popcorn foaming at the mouth to see a dog fight.  I no longer feel it worth my time to attempt to defend myself or anyone else to Annella as I feel nothing but pity for her now.  She lost an amazing friend: me.  I am like Mr. Darcy... my good opinion, once it is lost, is lost forever.  People may attempt to earn it back, but I will not lie around as a doormat in an effort to make someone comfortable.

I do want to see, though, proof of my slamming anyone based on their religion.  I will be waiting for the proof.

As for my when a Jewish person that believes in Jesus is not a Jew... uh, why don't you try reading the links I posted instead of arguing with me repeatedly about it?  In fact, the entire statement here:

And since when can a Jewish person believing in Jesus, not a Jew?  No, they don't practice Judaism, but they are still Jewish, are they not?

is quite incorrect.  Messianics practice Judaism except for the fact that they believe Jesus was the Messiah.  Looks like someone else should do their research, or at least read the links that an "Honest to G-d Jew" (TM) has posted for their reference.  Honestly.  I'll wait...

















...still waiting...





























Uh, I'd like to point out that Queen actually has a good relationship with both Sheryl and Sherene from my view here.  I've said it several times before, and each time it has been ignored.  Queen does not hate g-d or the bible itself, but the oppressive actions that people sometimes take on behalf of their interpretations of it. 

As far as I know, I still believe in G-d...  Why does everything have to be related to either being "Christian" or "anti-Christian"?  Its a big big world, with many many beliefs in it.  Quite honestly, I can't see any other way than to take some of the comments I've seen as personal.  Anyone is welcome to disagree with me, to disagree with my faith, or to even hate me, but to disrespect me that way (and this isn't just directed at you, jcribb, because I know you well enough to know that your intention was not to hurt me with your words; whether or not they did is another story)...I'm at a loss for words.  My heart is in my throat.  I've done everything I could to give credit where it was due, to take words at face value, to defend where I saw injustice, and to be open enough to make friends with anyone wanting to be my friend regardless of whether their religion or ideology matched mine.  I don't see why its my name and my faith that has to get dragged in here, when, quite honestly, I have done nothing wrong.  In fact, why drag Walks in?  He has proven time and again to be steadfast and loyal to his faith and his people.  Why drag anyone's faith, at least anyone who doesn't happen to agree, be they Christian or not?  Why y'all be hatin'?  http://bible.org/seriespage/lord-save-me-your-followers-matthew-71%E2%80%9312

Sheryl as a moral authority?  I'll take that deal as long as you add a Sherene.  Both of them have demonstrated time and again through their words on here, no matter how vexed or slighted (I've been on a Jane Austen kick lately... so sue me, lol) they may have felt that they have a good moral compass.


...as for this:

I know people that have found God after MANY years of people praying for them.  If you're any kind of evangelist at all---you should KNOW that. 

I felt it was beautiful.  I would like to say that it is easier to believe that people have found g-d as a result of prayer than it is to believe that someone has been cured of a deadly and incurable disease because of it.  /endsnarkycomment

You wanted proof of slamming someone's religion?  Read your last comments.

Again, Annella, tell yourself whatever you need to so that you can sleep tonight with the knowledge that you are right and I am wrong.  How about really thinking about this and looking over my posts and showing me something substantial?  That's because you won't find it.  Believe me when I say if you prove me wrong, I will apologize profusely.

[Finally360]

I believe in the after life.  This life is so complex and someone great had to put all this together.  I dont believe this experience we are having now just exists and then all go away.  I believe what the Bible says about new jeruslem here on earth and lake of fire for the wicked who dont recieve God.

I deleted my whole profile because of ID theft, and informed everyone of it.  Those I wanted to have my private information got it.....did you?

However, I invite all kinds of people to my home.  I've had the homeless in my home spending the night.  I have invited Sherene and Jcribb also.  I do remember telling you that your little girl was very beautiful, and I always wanted a daughter or grand daughter.  I'm very partial to little girls.  If that makes me creepy then so be it.  I think you are just trying to be as insulting as you can be at this point.

I already had your email, remember?

Go ahead and judge and throw out all the accusations you want, Annella.  I'm no more insulting to you than your own behavior has been.  Quite honestly, no one needs to insult you... you do a good enough job tearing yourself down.

If that's not a slam against my belief in faith healing which I have been slammed over and over again on this forum, then I don't know what is!

Again, Annella, you read what you wanted to read and ignored the rest.  Yes, I made a snarky comment to you in that post and I readily and wholeheartedly admit it.  Show me proof in my other posts, because you accused me looooong before I posted that one.  Quite honestly, you are one of the worst backbiters I've ever seen.  How many times have I defended you in here, even when you didn't deserve my defense?  How many times have you slammed or jumped me over innocent comments? 

Want to know what I mean about accepting responsibility for your actions and being accountable?  Perfect example.

I'm tired of this.  Quite honestly, this back and forth is just a waste of my time when I could be playing Oregon Trail on Facebook.

Ya kno, I have met many many people in the real that I had first known online, and the vast majority of them I could hardly recognize them in person. After years of online forums it has become obvious that most folks invent online personas that reflect what they wish they were.

If I had to make a wager, Id say Annella is just some old kook that wishes she was some kind of an authority figure.

I think there are lessons in all things.
Mommas and Daddys......give your Babies the attention they need for their emotional growth so they don't grow up attempting to deceive others with their fantastical fantasies.

But didn't you hear? AIDS has been cured through christian witchcraftery! Millions can be saved now!!! lol I am never gonna leave that one alone...I should tell you the whole story of it. One for the "Fusion Cash Hall of Records" for sure.

Quite honestly, this back and forth is just a waste of my time when I could be playing Oregon Trail on Facebook.

Still an awesome game. Back in elementary school we played that a lot. I named one of my characters Jesus. He died from dysentery

You removed me from your friends list, dear, several times on accident and re-friended me, among others.  Doesn't mean I was blocked.  I have blocked people from my facebook, and I work in IT.  I know how its done.  Until your account was "deactivated" (which I guarantee you it wasn't, since as long as you go to a facebook supported website, they will keep your profile active in case you change your mind), I was able to look at your profile if I wanted.  And, no, I'm not a hacker; I just have a brain. 

So...I was "blocked" on facebook because of ID Theft, I didn't have your real email address, and yet you invited me to your home?  Do you realize how ridiculous that sounds?

I'm with you there, Walks.  Makes the real deal that much greater to find!  And it also makes you wonder about those that go to such pains to hide everything about who they are regardless of what social networking site they happened to be on.
