RE: False accusations...

I may well dislike comments on the blogs or forums and dislike some attitudes but I can’t say I hate anyone or feel the need to lash out in an aggressive manner. In fact I find the blogs far more interesting than the forums.

RE: False accusations...

Users here know full well why they get banned or suspended, they only have to look at their history. There are varying degrees of tolerance on here. It’s glaring obvious that coming up to the stateside election views will be very controversialwine

I just disagree with some of your posts on this blog.

So does this make me a person who sensors free speech, no, though I recognise there are consequences to saying whatever we feel like, well thought out or not.wine

RE: False accusations...

1. People usually like to know that their mates are okay.

2. It's handy to know what people are getting suspended/banned for because the site owner mood appears to vary over time, i.e. over the J6 period and possibly as we move towards the US elections.

False accusations...

No... that's not in me to report another member who is stalking me.
I'd get an unfair reputation. I'm trying to stay neutral.

Already he's the sheriff/best blogger/critic/blog monitor reads my blogs.
Sadly, he is unable to control his hate for me, but he's really not stupid and since his comments lash out only a few times a month, he's under the radar of administration.

Would the site moderator delete his profile? Doubtful.

RE: False accusations...

If you're suspended from the blog/forums, CS doesn't notify you for how long.

Back in the days of thriving blogs and forums, one might be suspended for a few days, maybe a week. These days it seems people get suspended for weeks, or months with no idea when they'll be able to post again.

If CS doesn't notify the badass sinner, they sure as dammit don't notify anyone else.

There are clues, however:

*A blog goes kapoof! and one, or more regular posters go quiet for a few weeks
*A suspended member PM's a friend and tells them, the friend tells everyone else
*If someone has PM'd in the past, or you 'favourite' them, or they're on your 'who's viewed me?' record, you might see their profile as normal, 'profile hidden' , or 'profile deleted'.

The person who reported Luke PM'd him to say they had reported him for calling everyone and anyone a wanker, or some such thing relating to hostility. That person tells me Luke's profile was active after he was suspended, but about 10 days later Luke hid his profile.

I'm sure a few days, or a week would have sufficed to get the point across about reserving calling people a wanker for high days and holidays, but it appears that's not the way CS rolls anymore.

The source of my information has never PM'd with Butcher and neither have I, therefore neither of us know whether his profile is hidden, or deleted.

If a profile is deleted, you can't tell if that member's exit was voluntary, or not. If it was voluntary, they can reactivate their profile at any time. If it was deleted by CS and they don't create a new profile to get around the ban, they may be able to reactivate their original profile in about 6 months.

Does that help?

Need cash? Who ya gonna call...

Yes... a few things come to mind.
I heard that Musk laughed about the request to loan money to Trump.
Maybe someone told hem Trump doesn't pay back loans?

Viktor is a perfect example of how to take over a country. Put all your people in place and change the laws. Got that Donald? Oh... he's ALREADY doing it.

Currently the RNC is funding much of Trump's legal bills... good for them.
Good for Trump.
What's the worst that could happen? They won't have funding to support Republicans lower on the totem-pole and without the support for elections, Democrats will have a better chance to take away some key positions.
Money=power

Back to Viktor... Should he or other foreign nationals lend/gift money to Trump could be a very dangerous difficult illegal compromised situation. While it's not campaign funds, someone going into an election who is suspected of stealing classified documents (yes, I know, it didn't get to court yet) and having meetings with foreign powers (friendly or otherwise) doesn't look good on his resume.

The real problem is, with all the facts, someone who is committed to supporting Trump, would do so at any level and that includes if he is found guilty of insurrection, conspiracy or for possession of classified documents.
He's already been found guilty of business fraud and rape with defamation of character.
Can we make it an even 4?

Users here do notify each other, they have built up friendships so will use other methods of informing others.

That is similar to something my mom has said. She said don’t take everyone’s opinions verbatim. Just take the bit of truth they say and apply it to your life that’s it. So thank you for saying that.

If a person gets ejected, for whatever reason, there isn't notification to the other members.

RE: Chronic complainers...

My complaint is about people complaining about others complaining who complain to others about them complaining about those who complained about them for complaining when the others were complaining to them complaining they were complaining about who they were complaining about.

The complaining never stopped it just went round in circles until no one knew who or what they were actually complaining about. wine

RE: False accusations...

To note there has been far worse on the blogs and forums. This one time a user was pursued relentlessly by other members around 2022, mainly on the forums, bitter, twisted, trying to really run the person down with no success. In fact it had the opposite affect. Eventually it was locked down.

It was not a matter of liking or disliking the individual concerned, it was about the vicious behaviour that member was subject to.

In my opinion, strictly mine only, I do not think this blog was necessary, At the end of the day where is the evidence, based on what, a greyed out profile or a user not posting, sending messages only? Many users who get into conflicts, disagreements or arguments here called each other names, follow each other around. That is to be expected.

We all know people get banned or suspended for one reason and another.

If one starts off with a provocation then expect a reaction.

Keep on zapping the scammers. But could you stomach reporting sites where there is really bad stuff involved causing pain and harm to humans? Because those kinds of sites do get shut down only for more to appear, it’s a job that many simply would not do. So I give those involved a lot of credit in reporting such horrendous abuse.

What Makes Jesus Unique? No one else made the claims that He did, He is alive...............

Putting It All Together
As we look at our contemporary world, we see much that is evil and tragic. It seems that the dam holding back evil has collapsed and we are being buried alive in a tidal wave of depravity. The peddlers of this depravity want to destroy every manifestation of decency and the core beliefs that once made America great.

However, there is another group, growing in number and notoriety. It includes a group of perceptive thinkers and high-profile figures, like Ayaan Hirsi Ali—and also others like the “Son of Hamas,” Mossab Hassan Yousef, the son of the founder of Hamas. These are people who have found that Christianity has a slant on life that is truly appealing in its power to transform and to provide intellectually coherent answers to the big questions of human existence.

New York Times bestselling author Joel Rosenberg carefully details the amazing work of God in his 2009 book Inside the Revolution: How the Followers of Jihad, Jefferson & Jesus Are Battling to Dominate the Middle East and Transform the World. In the book Final Fire: Is the Next Great Awakening Around the Corner, a book which I co-authored with Tom Horn and Donna Howell, we document the rising wave of revival fires around the world.

Though at present the world is focused on the Middle East, we must not forget the work of God in Communist China. Though illegal, the unlicensed Underground Church is seeing a harvest of souls, as is documented in the book China and End-Time Prophecy: How God Is Using the Red Dragon To Fulfill His Ultimate Purposes. Author, Eugene Bach (a pseudonym), ministers with the Underground Church. The back cover states that this volume “will show you why the completion of the Great Commission is inevitable and the return of Christ is unstoppable.” This New Year would be a good time to commit (or re-commit) our lives to world evangelism.

What Makes Jesus Unique? No one else made the claims that He did, He is alive...............

Ali seems to anticipate some evangelical critics who might say she is approaching the Christian faith as a theoretician or philosopher. However, I think it is significant that she writes: “I would not be truthful if I attributed my embrace of Christianity solely to the realization that atheism is too weak and divisive a doctrine to fortify us against our menacing foes. I have also turned to Christianity because I ultimately found life without any spiritual solace unendurable—indeed, very nearly self-destructive.”

For Ali, her faith has personal elements to it, like it does for all of us. But I heartily approve of the conviction that her faith is not just limited to a “friendship with Jesus.” Yes, Peter did say, “Lord, to whom shall we go? Thou hast the words of eternal life” (John 6:68). I don’t want to trample underfoot the individual’s personal relationships with the Son of God. But I also believe one of the weaknesses of much evangelicalism in America is that many Christians have not developed a consistent, Christian-theistic worldview. Whether or not we admit it, we are battling ideologies and systems of erroneous thinking. We are to be pulling down “strong holds … and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ” (2 Cor. 10:4–5).

Not a Passive Faith

In a day of societal confusion, one of the most important passages in Scripture reminding us of our identity and purpose on Earth is Genesis 1:26–28. We were made in God’s image to create, to produce, to invent. We were made to be creative and productive, yes, even to be the Lord’s entrepreneurs! This is not a passive faith but a faith that propels us into every nook and cranny of culture and human existence. While we all love John 3:16, there are many more verses, thoughts, and ideas in Scripture.

Ali writes, “We can’t withstand China, Russia, and Iran if we can’t explain to our populations why it matters that we do. We can’t fight woke … and we can’t counter Islamism with purely secular tools.”

Where shall we look for a unifying principle of life that gives life the meaning that we need? Ali writes, “And fortunately, there is no need to look for some new-age concoction of medication and mindfulness. Christianity has it all.”

While Ali admits that she has “a great deal to learn about Christianity,” she indicates that she understands that it is “a better way to manage the challenges of existence than either Islam or unbelief had to offer.”

For those of my readers who would like to learn more about Ali and her penetrating analysis of contemporary issues that divide humanity, I would suggest the YouTube video titled, “What do wokeness and Islam have in common?” In short, Ali answers that they are both totalitarian. Her statements and courageous beliefs like this have led Brandeis University to deny her an honorary degree. She is also critical of Black Lives Matter and says that the group has raised a lot of money after the George Floyd murder, but BLM has used the funds on themselves. Ali has the right enemies.

I would also suggest that my readers pray for Ali that she would grow in grace and the knowledge of Scripture. What she reads about the Bible and those who mentor her are all critical to her grounding in the faith.

Ali faces danger from Islam, and is a target, along with her Scottish husband, Niall Ferguson, an author and historian.

Ali is also enraging the ProgressiveLeft, a group that finds her views “outrageous and divisive.” In addition, after being in ministry in a variety of formats for more than fifty years, I am concerned that she also faces harsh criticism from the extreme Christian Right. Fault may be found in her testimony because it does not have the usual evangelical buzzwords, or because she doesn’t use the correct translation of the Bible, or a dozen other issues. New Christians are tender. Please don’t crush them under heel.

Signs of the Final Harvest

Ayaan Hirsi Ali

Ayaan Hirsi Ali has publicly stated that she is a Christian. Born in Somalia, Ali was a Muslim, but became a strong critic of Islam and later became a central figure in the New Atheism. She became disenchanted with atheism and has now professed adherence to the teachings of Jesus. Her journey has been long. Her thoughtful essay on UnHerd online media site explains much of her thinking.

Leaving Islam is considered a serious offense. In 2004 Ali collaborated on a short film with Theo Van Gogh titled Submission. It was a frank depiction of the oppression of women under Shariah law. The release of the film quickly yielded death threats.

Van Gogh was brutally murdered on an Amsterdam street on November 2, 2004. The attacker, Mohammed Bouyeri, shot Van Gogh once from a distance, and then at short range as the director lay wounded on the ground. He was already dead when Bouyeri cut his throat with a large knife and tried to decapitate him. Bouyeri left a letter pinned to Van Gogh’s body with a small knife. The letter was a death threat to Ayaan Hirsi Ali.

From Islam To Atheism
Several factors caused Ali to leave Islam. The 9/11 attack on America was one thing. Ali felt it was wrong and something she could not support. Islam’s oppression of women and a deep-seated disdain for non-Muslims, especially Jews, created more repugnance in her heart for Islam. In her essay, she expresses the thought that the West continues in denial about the dangers of radical Islam and the possibility of a religious war. “We have seen a similar tendency in the past five weeks, as millions of people sympathetic to the plight of Gazans seeking to rationalize the Oct. 7 terrorist attacks as a justified response to the policies of the Israeli government.”

“Why I Am Not a Christian”
In 2002, Ali discovered Bertrand Russell’s 1927 lecture titled “Why I Am Not a Christian.” Russell asserts that religion is based primarily on fear—something that resonated with Ali, who came from a strict Islamic background. Ali confessed that she was struggling with a deep-seated fear of being punished in the afterlife. Russell’s assertion brought peace: “When I die, I shall rot.”

Yet Ali did not have the peace that she sought. “The ‘God hole’ left in the human heart has not gone away, but rather has been filled by a jumble of irrational, quasi-religious dogma. The result is a world where modern cults prey on the dislocated masses, offering them spurious reasons for being and action—mostly by engaging in virtue.” Ali asserts that the virtue that is heralded is fighting for “a victimized minority or our supposedly doomed planet.”

Ali relates that the high-profile atheists that she met with, like Christopher Hitchens and Richard Dawkins, were clever and fun to be with. However, as she looked at the news and followed the collapse of society and the rise of authoritarian regimes like those in Russia and China, plus the rise of worldwide Islam and the “viral spread” of “woke” ideology, the benefits of atheism seemed inadequate to combat the destructive beliefs of modern civilization.

She writes, “We endeavor to fend off these threats with modern, secular tools: military, economic, diplomatic and technological efforts to defeat, bribe, persuade, appease or surveil. And yet, with every round of conflict, we find ourselves losing ground.”

I think my readers can identify with that. We have supposedly improved the quality of life through technology, psychology, sociology, and several other grand schemes that will make life more livable, but despite our best efforts, the headlines become more ominous.
