Confession: "Freedom Lover" makes me angry. Hiding behind her pseudonym, she occasionally tossed barbed arrows my way during my sojourn on CCG - during the time I was trying to figure out how to handle grief that was partly being inflicted on the CCG.
Here is an excerpt from the first such event:
(FL) "I guess if you don't kiss and make up, then Daddy's gonna take his belt off."
(Me)..."Your words are trite, because the dispute is over a more serious matter than a child's petty fight over a toy..."(I was losing my son to drugs, and being taunted and baited by certain parties on the CCG, who ought not to have been allowed there)
Now she’s at it again. Her latest is entitled “Not interested in spittin contest,” under which title she proceeds to spit.
I’m going to treat some of her words as a message (M) in tongues, to which I will give the interpretation (I).
(M) I'm really not interested in going to battle with folks who no longer post on this board.
(I)I’m going to take some pot shots at people who aren’t at liberty to respond on this forum.
(M)We all went through the same stuff.
(I) Nobody’s experience is unique, and everyone should respond to suffering as I have - quietly.
(M) If as many as two people on this board agree, then that means we all are afflicted with group think. Oh, give me a break.
(I) Let’s lie about their [us at FACTnet] position so it sounds too ridiculous to even ponder.
(M)How many of us have been hurt? Is there anyone who hasn't? Anyone here never been offended, never been misunderstood, never been wronged, never falsely accused; please, raise your hand and come forward now!
(I) Since these are common maladies, we can negate the Scriptural admonitions to bear one another’s burdens, to mourn with one another, and to clothe one another.
(M) I never had one living moment, not one day, not one hour, not one minute, not one second, that I was not in excruciating pain, while I attended Bible college. I mean physical pain.
(I) I wasn’t discerned by the body of Christ, so I just toughed it out. And that’s what everybody else ought to do. But secretly, I do wish somebody cared. And I don’t really want to be so damn mean.
(M)OK, so, I've been hurt, offended, suffered. I'm not going to get in a spittin contest over who is truthful about examining errors and hurts and offenses along our path.
(I)Except for that guy who differed with me on what the Bible teaches about forgiveness. I let him have it, and was delighted when he got the bum’s rush off CCG - cuz’ I can spit at him now and he can’t even respond.
