How many people did you try to set "right" with your misquided, unlearned practices of counseling? It makes me tremble to think that a man in authority would go to such extremes to damage another saint.
Perhaps, I've said too much, but I pray that enough was said to make you see that your actions were ungodly. A Shephard who would leads his sheep without wisdom and patients finds his sheep wondering off into a world that wouldn't care for them.
Sis. Rhoni cares about the sheep of our loving and graciouis Jesus Christ of Nazareth by the guidance of His Spirit. I trust that Sister Rhoni sees that many here on this forum need to hear the wisdom of God in her counseling. I would feel a great sense of lost if Sister Rhoni would discontinue her ministry and due place on the forum.

Sister,
Since you are new here, I will do my best to use all possible care and tenderness in responding to this rebuke.
Let's examine a few points...

I have read several thousand of Rhonda's posts. We have had our debates here and there, but it has never been and is not now personal. I disagree with some of her concepts and methodologies. This is, after all, a discussion board and that is what we do--discuss things.
You post it, it is fair game.
You don't get a special "hands off" dispensation where your posts can't be questioned just because you declare it "Ministry."
As for my discernment or lack thereof, feel free to make whatever judgments along that line that you care to.
If I was open about everything I have "discerned" in the last few days around here, it would probably send you and a few others scurrying for the tissue box.
Now let's move along to the next installment...

How can you say this with such certainty? Have you been contacted by "many" of these offended "saints?"
If not, how can you make such an accusation? Discernment?
How many is "many?" Can you give us a number, or is this just accusatory rhetoric?
Onward...

All I can say is, read your Bible more, and psuedo-Apostolic "Dear Abby" columns less. You will find a lot more bluntness from Jesus, Peter, Paul, and the prophets than what I indulged in. Go and learn what that meaneth.
Drumroll please...

You are once again making judgments and accusations. Being an accuser of the brethren doesn't put you in great company, but it does give us some clues, and aids in calibration.
This forum is not church, and the people here, especially Rhonda, are not coming to me for counsel. You have no clue how I deal with people who come to me for help, and I feel no obligation to defend myself or provide evidence or examples for you. You are on a crusade to defend a friend, and I understand that, so go ahead.

Sheer, unadulterated hyperbolic claptrap masquerading as high drama.
I have no authority here anyway, and don't want it.

A friendly tip...when you are trying to judge and label someone as ungodly, don't precede it by a qualifying quasi-apology. It makes you appear indecisive and lessens the impact of your proclamation.
It would have been so much more impressive had you just simply said, "I pray I have said enough to make you realize that you are one ungodly dude."
Good one here...

I pray daily for wisdom; I'll let Rhonda have the patients.
Finally, brethren...

None of us want Rhonda to leave, including me.
Have a nice day.
