You don't really want to know who is in the cliques. You just want to start another bashing session. If people name names it will start the ball of fire that they all say they don't want.
Last week I did a thread asking if there are any subjects that you, as a collective group, did not approve of in the threads.
No one wrote back and said they didn't want religious threads.
I wrote a thread about what IF there was an heir of Jesus walking the earth today.
The thread got a lot of attention and no one did any bashing and no one said they didn't like the subject.
Now all of a sudden religious subjects are taboo. I don't mind that you don't want religious threads but you as a collective body should have responded to my thread questioning subjects of threads.
SA - you are a gutsy woman and I like that about you. I have never seen you bash someone. You have strong opinions and are tactful in making a point.
I also have strong opinions. I'm probably the oldest one on here. All that gives me is more experience. It doesn't make me right or wrong.
I too do not care to be in a clique nor do I care if I am liked.
I was in a "conversation" one time with two people who were bashing me. They were stronger than I was and I backed down because I am not a controversial person. I would rather walk away from an argument than try to prove a point.
It seems that once people turn against you there is no way to get them to be cordial. Someone in the forums sent me an email saying I was naive. I'm not naive. I know what's going on. Just because I choose not to argue doesn't mean people can walk on me.
The forums have given me laughs (even the dirty jokes and posts) and I enjoy learning about other cultures but there is so much bickering with people always trying to be "right.
We are adults. Can we turn it around? I agree with SA that it doesn't have to be all fluff but whatever the thread is it would be so much better if people just expressed an opinion without someone bashing them for it. ".
Could someone please tell me how to find "Edit Preferences". I keep getting notification in my personal email that I have mail in CS and I don't want that.
The HELP menus says to look for Edit Preferences on the Edit Profile page to chance the notification but I can't find it.
When you are in touch with someone only through email and phone calls you limit yourself to look into their eyes. The eyes tell the truth.....
You are also tempted to put meeting on hold for "sometime". When that happens you have no way of knowing if this person really means what they say.
I saw a profile one time of a guy who was about 20 miles from me. I wrote to him and he wrote back and said it was too far.
On the other hand, a guy from Floria wrote to me which is about 1,000 miles. We emailed and talked on the phone and after two months we met but we both knew it wasn't going to work out. So, was it a waste of time? Not for me. He was very nice, a true gentleman and neither of us had hard feelings.
I'm not willing to move out of New Jersey now....maybe later on... because I have a few more years to work.
Maybe for the same reason the guys don't show up..... changed their mind or had second thoughts. It's happened to me several times and I too get angry not because they're not going to meet me but because they didn't have the courtesy of giving me a phone call. I don't get hurt by it, I'm just annoyed that I got all dressed up for nothing.
This could be dangerous, but I'll take the chance. All I ask is that you don't take offense. If I'm not making myself clear, it's my fault.
People responded that it is possible there is an heir but I'm not asking if you think there is an heir.
Let's try this. Think about what you did yesterday or in the past week. Did you do something or have a thought that you would do or think differently if there was an heir?
People who hold Jesus beloved, may have to think twice about their lives and their beliefs. but their belief system would have to go thru and overhaul.
It probably wouldn't change their behaviour but they might stop and think about it. We would still take the chance that he will forgive us.
You're right that I think it's not important to know who the descendant is.
Yes, we all do bad things even though we believe.
Maybe this will help ME to make it clearer.
I am sitting in the library right now. There are people all around me. People aren't supposed to use cell phones in the library but they do and it annoys me. I don't say anything to them, best to let it go.
If I KNEW that someplace in this world there was a person walking around that had the same clout as Jesus, I wonder if I would let myself get annoyed. Would I just smile and be the person that Jesus wants me to be.
You will probably take this wrong, and I hope you don't, but if an heir was on earth, we would have perfection amongst us and I think we would try to be better people.
I've read the book and seen the movie three times.
I would live my life differently if I thought my neighbor was a decendent of Jesus. I'm not sure why, I just know that I would.
As it is now I believe that Jesus died for our sins but there is no way to prove it. There is no way to prove that God exists. It's all based on faith which I have.
But if there was a decendant of Jesus then I would know that He really did exist and it would be to my benefit to follow the Ten Commandents. Right now I try to follow them but I do take my chances on some of them.
If we knew for sure that there was an offspring I think we would be a kinder people to each other.
