Easily Offended

Early this a.m. a poster posted a farewell thread. Its now gone.

I have been following his posts and he has called AFFers backslidden bitter and swine, yet in his farewell he said UC's aren't welcome here.

What is this mindset that allows them the freedom to call people out, but run and tuck there tail when questions are asked of them?

Perhaps it is just because it IS just that-a "farewell" few last words?

Not for debate?

Is there all that much wrong with that..I mean his own personal
"rants" we all do that at least once or twice, after all.
That it is deleted could mean he felt remorseful AFTER posting it.
Haven't we all written something, then thought better about it, and 'tore it up'?

I'm just trying to see the flipside of possibilities, is all.



btw, I missed that thread. Pls, do tell-whom was it?

They are just trying so hard to hold on to the old ways and get so fustrated cause everything is changing around them and people are acually reading the bible and just not listening to everything they say...

Re: Easily Offended

I am not talking about the deletion of the thread.

How can someone call everyone unlike them names and then get upset at the treatment they perceive they received.

He offended me but I did not get all huffy about it. How can they be so easily offended when they spout off like they do?

They are not mature enough in their faith to handle liberty so what makes you think they would act like an adult when it comes to anything else. They take their toys and run home when they don't like the way the game is being played.
