Lost in the wilderness?

A friend of mine and his eight month pregnant wife were hit by a drunk driver. His wife was killed outright and he spent several weeks in hospital. The story made one or two of the national papers so he was inundated with cards from well-wishers. The message in one card read

You can take comfort in the fact that God is in control of your life.

That might have been the first time he laughed after the accident.

Rose, I'm not sure how Jeremy's post could have inspired you to write anything 'humorous'.

My friend got similar sentiments when she lost her four year old to meningitis. It really would have been helpful if Jesus had taught his disciples when to shut the fuck up.

I learned pretty quickly when my friend lost her son that there's no right thing to say in such circumstances. That doesn't mean you have to stop listening. But there really are some things that are so obviously awful that they really shouldn't be said.

[OH MY WORLD!]

Pretty sad to have to cruise around the internet for the purpose of finding some Christian site that offends you. There is more to life Rose. I know another poster that hunts down Christian sites and joins for the purpose of crating as much trouble as possible before she gets booted out. Then she comes back here and brags about it. Very sick!

[Rhiannon]

A big hug and a listening ear then.

Some people have two left feet when it comes to saying something.

I usually say as little as possible, just in case 

There's nothing at all that can be said to bereaved parents that offers anything, at least not from what I saw with my friend. Whatever you offer feels so inadequate. It was and is the most terrible, terrible thing.

If the deity is in control of his life, it underlines its psychopathic nature!

Rhi,
 Are you unable to state your point without being gutter? That was most disgusting and I know you used the f word and my Saviours name just to try and stir things up and shock. Very cheap indeed. You still a moderator?

Do you seriously think your opinion of me counts for anything as far as I'm concerned?

[OH MY WORLD!]

Go work on your big butt Shaker.

[OH MY WORLD!]

Why on earth would you think that I would want such a thing from you Rhi? I just told you how disgusting I find your gutter behaviour here in the Christian section. Who taught you to write like that?

Me, what I've written, whatever. You think use of a swear word in the same sentence as the word Jesus more worthy of comment than the death of a pregnant woman or a child. I suggest you go and read your gospels again, and consider what Jesus would have given a shit about.

[Shaker]

Can I just write knackers here?

No particular reason, I just thought we were running through all the fun words one by one.

Too much Facebook  this place is relatively sane in comparison.   

Apparently I'm " desperately in need of conversion in Christ, for you are one of those lost sheep in the wilderness of the babylonian ecclesiastical pagan system of beliefs and practices."

What's that! I wonder?

Wilderness of the Babylonian ecclesiastical pagan system of beliefs and practices?

Me? I can barely pronounce it........ 🍷🍷🌹
 
 

What has a Christian or other Christian said to you, that made you smile or frown ?

You can always find some of the sheep up by the farmhouse, well, the good looking ones anyway.

I suspect Jesus wouldn't be very impressed with some of the voluble idiots who claim to be in his club, if he was a half way decent bloke.

People should not talk like that, it is off putting, doesn't work.  I've had similar;  I am a believer but do not like or approve of "in yer face" preaching.  Many do not realize they do not have the gift of evangelism - they should shut up.

I didn't know stuff like that was done on Facebook, those who have tried to persuade me to post on F/B have assured me it can all be private, by invitation only, etc.  I'm not so sure and am not tempted to join.

[OH MY WORLD!]

Rhi,
So why dirty a serious story with your foul and wind-up gutter words? No, that is silly and very childish to claim I don't care about pregnant women and children. But don't expect me to believe your stories when you dress your comments the way you do. Your use of the f word in the same sentence as Jesus was done for shock. Because as you well know, that name is very powerful, even when you use it in a very dirty way as you do.

[floo]

I wonder if Jesus and his disciples used the equivalent of the 'f' word in their language?

You really need to watch this thing you have about thinking things are dirty and shameful. It's not healthy.

Rose, I'm not sure how Jeremy's post could have inspired you to write anything 'humorous'.

Had you read all the posts...

Rose replied.

That's a sad story, poor man.

On a more humorous note, that reminds me of a boo boo I made in my single early twenties 

Rose was clearly referring to the cards having been sent and the content.

Had the quote not been altered when quoting missing vital information and making no sense of the conversation you would have understood that the accident part and the poor woman dying was not what Rose was referring to and did not find humorous.

It was the sending of cards which reminded her of the boo boo.

Neither useful or acceptable. Why did the 4 year old get meningitis?

What had the disciples to do with it or them speaking.

Not even logical is it. Have you lost any children in your family?

We have and I assure you we have had them saved by the LORD, too. Losing a child is something that never goes away. And each birthday none are forgotten. Why not blame your pagan gods... what did they do to help the child?
That's right, they don't do anything because you know they are fake. Whereas Christ and the disciples healed by the power of their God. Maybe more children would be healed if instead of you and other pagans teaching man to reject God, they taught them to embrace him so at least letting them have the chance for their child to be healed.

It is offensive what you wrote but then again you meant it to be. Pity your paganism does not teach you how to behave and treat others.

Rhi,

Glad we agreed.  I made the point of it. Pity she does not see knowing her fake gods are just that... fake... means no one is really going to believe she has any right to comment on our God.

At least our God has a record of showing he wants rid of such suffering. Whilst history shows the beliefs they have dumped once caused harm to children and adults.  Even though their gods had never done anything to show themselves.

Her arguments are dead as a dodo as they are there just to offend and have no credence or sincerity in them.

Just like your attitude... Why would people think you give a shit when you ignore the truth that Christ died so the life lost both the woman and child could continue in the next life. Do you have a god who has sent people who raised the dead and healed the sick? Thought not, but you consider yourself able to insult a faith that does?

Jealousy is not a good thing...but is shows how much you ignore that your beliefs, your gods and attitudes can be equally held responsible for the tragedy given that you believe they have power to influence the lives and events of mankind.

People who live in glass houses should not throw stones.
