Not with the board or with 99.9% of the people on it.
I spoke the truth about our newest member. I can' t prove it so I won' t bring up the past anymore. When I saw him here I knew what the board was in for, so I tried to give you a heads up. I very honestly said to myself" here we go this won' t be good."
I' ve been called a liar, adulterer, thief and lost. It doesn' t bother me because I know it to be false.
I will continue to put .02 where I see fit. I just won' t bring up his son unless he does.
No I have not been warned by the Mods,if I was I' d tell you.
Live is too short to let someone drag you down.
Things here seem to work themselves out in time, sure this one will too.

From the other posts you' ve written I' d say that the highlighted portions of your post sum you up pretty well, at least your conduct here thusfar. You claim to be such a great man, but you are blind to your own failings and sinful nature. Why don' t you straighten out your ways before you criticize others? Why do you accuse people of things when you have no evidence to support such accusations (bearing false witness...Isn' t that in the bible somewhere?), and you claim others are " God-haters" simply because they are not a (hypocritical) zealot like yourself.
I (and a lot of others I' ve known) no longer go to church because of people like you. Those who preach constantly about how terrible everyone else is when they themselves are worse yet. Zealots like you try to conceal their own nature and elevate themselves by destroying others.
If you' d spend as much time reading and UNDERSTANDING the bible as you do thumping people with it, maybe you' d be the type of person you claim to be.

" I (and a lot of others I' ve known) no longer go to church because of people like you."
Very typical of the new age mentallity. You can blame me for your forsaking of Christs Church, yet you stopped going long before you ever heard from me.
You remind me of the child molestor who blames his godless actions on the priest that molested him as a child.
Driftrider, Instead of argueing with Bill. Go down to my thread" Donate a can of soup" and vote for your favorite NFL team. At least something good will come of it.

You don' t know me from Adam, but you associate me with a child molester, which is completely uncalled for. And you wonder why people don' t like you. You are the blameful one here.
I didn' t blame you directly. You read but you don' t bother to comprehend what' s written. I said that it is because of people LIKE YOU, not you in particular.
If you knew me you' d know that I am NOT a person who places blame where it isn' t due. What I said was factual. I personally don' t believe that one needs a church to worship. Your views may differ, but that' s your right, just as not going to church is mine. Am I wrong for not going to church? Maybe. But that doesn' t necessarily mean I am a bad person for it. I simply don' t want to put up with hypocrites like yourself, who cannot accept that they too aren' t perfect.
Why don' t you address the issues that I pointed out regarding your behavior? Or can you simply not fathom that you could possibly be wrong?
I think you' re right (and to be honest Charlie, I never thought I' d say that about you )...arguing with him is as pointless as arguing with a brick wall. It' s pretty obvious that he is the way he is, and isn' t going to change because of me. Or anyone else for that matter.
I' ve said all I care to. I think that the best solution to the " watchman problem" is to simply ignore his rambling and wanton bible thumping. After he realizes that nobody will respond to him he' ll eventually just lose interest and go bother another board.
I did not call you a child molestor, but rather I used the child molestor analogy to point out your blaming society for your short comings.
" If you knew me you' d know that I am NOT a person who places blame where it isn' t due. What I said was factual. I personally don' t believe that one needs a church to worship."
We are not commanded to attend church to worship, we are commanded to attend church to fellowship with Christians. If you forsake gathering with Christians you are in direct conflict with Gods word.
" Why don' t you address the issues that I pointed out regarding your behavior? Or can you simply not fathom that you could possibly be wrong? "
There is nothing wrong with my behavior. I have layed down an unwatered down gospel that guys like you curl your lips at, and adulterers, perverts, and atheists attack with lies, and twisted inuendo.
The Bible makes it very clear that nasty men will crawl out of the woodwork to mock those who preach Christ. The sad truth is, is that men such as yourself have no idea about what the gospel of Christ is. When it is presented to you you shutter in shame.
Nowhere in any of my posts will you see me claiming myself above anyone, saying I am perfect, or any such thing. I myself am a liar, murderer, and thief. I am simply saved by the Grace of Christ and lifted up in Baptism to preach to the pagan gentiles of who I am formerly of.
That bothers you, but that is too bad. You will not halt my ministry.
I' m all done
