Conversation with Knight about losing faith

[Town Heretic]

talking to yourself again?

Aww, that's nearly cute. Sod is trying to parrot a bit of fun I had when he referred to himself in the third-person. Doesn't work, because everyone writes a post here understanding that others are reading it and often with those others more in mind than not.

well, at least you've finally found an audience that thinks you're worth reading :chuckle:

Said the fellow who appears to read every post I make. lain: Seriously, sometimes all you have to do is show up and hand him a rope.

For anyone struggling with faith, God grant the end of your travails find you still among us and with a greater wisdom to share, inspire and uplift the Body.

you win!


now do us all a favor and shut up you tiresome self-impressed bore

 

[Town Heretic]

You think I think of a conversation with you as a contest of some sort? :think:

Darn it if you didn't just top off the ol endearing tank.

now do us all a favor and shut up you tiresome self-impressed bore

So...a problem with my talking to others, but comfortable speaking for them...well....that's something.

 

[ok doser]

You think I think ...

no

i think you respond automatically, without thinking, just as anna pegged you recently

i don't know if it's due to a personality flaw or if it's an actual diagnosable disorder that you can't control


don't really care either way :idunno:

If you cared any less you'd have an aneurysm. Now back to work on a thesis. You have fun doing whatever this is. :e4e:

 

[ok doser]

town replies with an automatic, unthinking reponse:

If you cared any less you'd have an aneurysm.

are you even aware that you're doing this?

meanwhile, for anybody interested in the op:

Christ will gather in those of His flock, regardless of how butthurt they might claim to be from interactions on the internet

Comments on the danger of Christians without congregation moved to A Momentary Life (link).

 

[ok doser]

even though we disagree on a lot of things
this has been a great thread
with a lot of interesting posts
and
some them were not mine

some of them were indeed

or were not

whatever :idunno:

 

[ok doser]

Then what's the point of being a Christian witness to anyone? Really, what's the point of being the lamp on the stand?

it strikes me that anna has been expecting the lamps here to be well trimmed, freshly cleaned chimneys, polished, turned down to a nice, even mellow glow

and while there are indeed plenty of those here (or have been), she prefers to point at the flickering, guttering lamps, the lamps with smoky chimneys, poorly trimmed wicks, watery oil, or the lamps that are blinding in their intensity, or the lamps that are strobes, or the lamps that for whatever reason are under a bushel, or the lamps that are constantly going out - she prefers to point at those imperfect lamps and blame them for not leading her to the destination she thinks she deserves

tell ya what anna - go out in the real world and light your own lamp

 

[ok doser]

ran across this and saw something i'd missed before:

Is it heavy lifting to be concerned for the souls of people who encounter a damaging witness to Christianity on your forum?

"a damaging witness to Christianity"

vs

a witness for Christ

i hope anna finds Christ

 

[musterion]

IIRC, Anna is ex Catholic and had expressed major problems with that church. Yet she was still somewhat defensive of it, to the point of sometimes getting hostile about it being examined. So I never knew how much of her story to believe and in fact got to where I didn't believe anything she said.

 

[ok doser]

she was really something back in 08 when she defended bush and attacked bammy

seems like a lifetime ago


and you should have seen her mix it up with barbie :chuckle:

funny - i don't remember her mixing it up in the religious threads

 

[ok doser]

that's funny - her join date says january 2009 - i wonder if that's right


eta: nope, looks like that's right http://theologyonline.com/showthrea...ep-me-humble&p=1941638&viewfull=1#post1941638

 

[musterion]

Nobody flips from conservative to archliberal like that. She may have been a moby.

 

[ok doser]

did they moby back in 2009?



that reminds me - i was browsing these this morning - late fifties Mobylette - French built, very popular in the colonial possessions - you often see them in Vietnam war movies

someday it will be mine

oh yes
