Remember, try to express your criticisms in specific language, and try to do it respectfully.
Remember, you are a fool and shouldn't be passing out advice to anyone.

Ah, I have to laugh when I see how just one post of mine can make pj go off like a little machine gun. Three responses so far to the same post. Not a record for him , but it ain't over yet, I'm sure. :chuckle:
My advice for those who are fundamentalist and who wish to stay that way:
1. Be responsible and admit to your feelings of alarm or defensiveness.
2. Plug both ears carefully with your index fingers.
3. Then shout "La, La, La, La La!" over and over again.
That way you won't have to be so fixated in keeping an "enemies list" of who to "neg rep" or try to have banned.
The idea that I am lecturing you or talking down is coming from you, not me. To me you are projecting, as is your wont.Thanks for the lecture. However, I think I'll still continue to post
like GM and leave it at that. You're more than welcome to place
me on ignore though?
It is not a lecture.Professor Aikido7 has given another brilliant lecture on human behavior.

You would feel better if you would lighten up.
But just be careful whenever you try to read the mind of another, or guess at their underlying intentions. You should always ask directly when you want to learn what someone else was thinking.
Anyone who curses, condemns and mocks their brother and just flings out "negative reps" is obviously disturbed about something.
People in today's global, interconnected world feel like they need to protect themselves, and sometimes this is done by withdrawal from life itself.
If you don't like someone's posts, be direct and say so in a respectful manner. Like an adult.
I was correcting your posts so they would make more sense to any native speaker of English.
Remember, try to express your criticisms in specific language, and try to do it respectfully.
Your labeling, judgment, and generalized remarks need to be expressed by using exact language. And you should try to be accountable for your own emotions--not blame the other person.
Examples:
Instead of saying "You're a liar" we should say that "I am having trouble believing you because __________."
Instead of flinging out our opinions and judgments, we need to simply ask direct questions of a poster we disagree with.

And anyone who says, 'You fool!' will be in danger of the fire of hell. --Jesus, as recorded by Matthew in 5:22

Just one more reason for the fact that many conservatives and fundamentalists love to play the victim when confronted by anyone they judge to be an elitist "city slicker" talking down to the American farmer. It is a curious way to avoid being specific.Lecture series 478 in Chandler Hall. Featuring Professor Aikido
It is not a lecture.
It was meant to be a pointed metaphor on your inability or unwillingness to meet with me on issues, not mockery, sarcasm and condemnation.
I ask you to be an adult and comment respectfully. When you don't I will call you on it. It does me good to stand with integrity and purpose.
I have healthy boundaries--in my journey with Jesus especially.
As I said, why do believers like you resort to playing the helpless victim?I'm not surprised you quote the law since you are still under the schoolmaster. But you can't even do that with understanding.
Are you going to lecture our Lord now?
Matt. 23:17-19
Ye fools and blind: for whether is greater, the gold, or the temple that sanctifieth the gold? And, Whosoever shall swear by the altar, it is nothing; but whosoever sweareth by the gift that is upon it, he is guilty. Ye fools and blind: for whether is greater, the gift, or the altar that sanctifieth the gift?

You would help me in my communication skills to translate my posted thoughts and beliefs in a language that you would not feel victimized by. I strive for better communication and I crave criticism about my own communication skills.
So have back at me and teach me!
How would YOU post those same thoughts of mine in ways that would not be seen so defensively and would say what I want but in different language?
I am not a victim, just a willing student who waits for lessons every day.
Then be an adult and explain why you hinted, by quoting a verse you don't understand, that I was in danger of hellfire for calling you a fool. You'd rather rag on GM instead of answer for your own errors. Admit it.
As I said, why do believers like you resort to playing the helpless victim?
If you thought about it, you might recognize that you are an elite impersonating the oppressed.
I cannot "teach" anyone! In my prison ministry, I can only listen to their own testimonies and problems and I contribute what I contribute. Men in captivity do not assume I am talking down to them. Otherwise they would probably rush me in anger!
I am passing along information. I am not trying to convince anyone.
You need to make your own best choice for how to deal with my thinking and beliefs.
