I am glad someone has a sense of humor...I can laugh at myself despite what people think.

Blessings, Rhoni

I just thought he was giving you a compliment and you wished fleas on him - I guess I lost the meaning.

I was just trying ot be funny right back...guess it doesn't come as easily as the emotional intensity. Guess it [being funny] is out of character for me

Sure, offenses do happen. Even Jesus said they would and we know He is never wrong. A legitimate offense is worthy of a legitimate apology.

But there are those thin skinned individuals who come around looking for reasons to get offended. There are several ways to avoid this. First of all, don't come here! That really is the easiest solution. But if you are addicted and lack that type of self-control then you will need further assistance to avoid being offended.

We will next consider the Word. "Great peace have they which love thy law and NOTHING shall offend them." Basically that is saying that if you get offended you don't love the law of God. Simple enough? I sure hope so.

Next, for those of you who want to wear your feelings on your shirt sleeves, might I suggest wearing two or three shirts anytime you post here? That way you can get offended several times before making an issue of it.

Onward, to those who have deep seated emotional and spiritual issues, this is absolutely the last place you need to be. This is not where you come to relive past abuses, misuses, etc. etc. We are glad you are here. But we are not here to provide counsel for issues that can only be reconciled between you and God. I know we can be more fun to talk to and you will get some answers here that God won't give you, but hey, it really is better to take those issues to Him.

There is an Abuse Thread and a Cry Room available. If necessary we can probably find some directions on how to build a bridge and how to cry a river. Getting over it is up to you though.

That being said, I am glad everyone is here. And I would appreciate no one taking issue with this thread or my tone in stating what I have. I am fragile and get offended very easily and would hate for you to have to apologize to me for your ignorant comments.

Bump for all the upset conservatives.

I may be conservative, but I'm not upset.

People need to recognize that self-control is a virtue.

A little earlier, somebody recommended 'The Bait of Satan.'

Recommending that book also requires a warning. It is an excellent treatise on the topic of offences and offence, but it definitely is not for the uncommitted or insincere.

That book ripped me to shreds and turned me inside out. It was good for me though!
