I am thinking that you are thinking of someone else, Brad. I've always liked your posts (loved the Gingerbread Man!), think you are a great son, but I don't recall ever going as far in my posting as some. I think the most negative thing I remember saying on FCF was regarding tithing. I said, "Sounds like someone is worried about losing their Navigator", of which, I got a huge uproarious laugh from Carpenter. LOL!

My thinking is that I don't mind discussing scripture, and sometimes I have been tired and discouraged, but I've tried to remember that being in the will of God is something that I need to recognize and not try to change on my own volition.

I don't recall ever bashing the organization, because it's made up of a lot of really sincere and nice people. I have a few sad cat stories, but at the end of the day, I grew closer to God through those trials and that is important to me - "All things work together to them that love God who are thee called according to His purpose." That is what I believe, wholeheartedly. I always have.

It is anyone's right to leave for whatever reason. The issue isn't that anyone "left". The issue is that they say they left but, apparently, they haven't. They just lurk here and then go in their little corner and hash over everything we say.

If you're going to leave.. .leave.

If you're going to talk about us... talk with us.

But when the con population leaves and then says the forum is going liberal... That's like all the men leaving and saying the forum is focusing on female issues. Well duh... you left.

To be fair, I monitor several "ultra-con" areas of the web, and I go off and make fun of them with my friends too.
