Budgie smuggling and the law

[Sassy]

Jesus only managed a fig tree. Sass withered an entire fruit farm. Impressive.

Again using deliberate ignorance as if it made some sense?
Did Christ kill the fig tree by his own power or the power God gave him?
Here is a clue:

38 How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him.

But in the case of the Strawberries, Vengeance is Gods alone.

Try working it out, it helps not to confuse issues you clearly never learned when posing as a believer.
You appear to flit from one thing to another. Even this paganism is really for show.
Guess how I knew that?

Of course - it could just have been a really bad summer the following year.

[Sassy]

How I see it is, we don't have to post here.  There are forums which are predominantly made up of Christian posters and they still have plenty of rows!  Some are quite nasty.

R&E is fine if we accept that it is a forum for all schools of thought, it's more interesting than a purely Christian one.  The moderation is OK as far as I can tell, they can't please all the people all the time.  If I found it difficult on here I'd stop posting, nobody is forcing me.

When did you start posting again?
So not privy to the past or the examples then?
So again you speak about things you have not witnessed and based only on todays examples.

You don't see or know about moderation pm's sent to people both Christian and Atheist which prevent us from speaking out on the thread or forum because they come Re: Moderation Advice (in strict confidence)

Whether Christian or Atheist there is no freedom to tell others what is being said behind closed doors.
You see if there is no open accountability as there use to be then moderation can pretty much do as they please.

At one time we could question a mods action but now you cannot even discuss.
Recently I have to say Gordons has been about forum issues and about posts nothing intowards.
I felt I should make that clear do not want people thinking he has said anything of late that is other than the forums posting.
Even when been a little confused he has been gracious and understanding. So there is something good.

So mods in the past not always been good to others and yes some have let us know what they could share.
But none can speak out.

Christians  left because of the treatment of believers here.
Christians need to be able to have free speech too.

God appeared to you out of a cloud and told you.

Or maybe you saw Jesus' face in your Rice Krispies and you knew it was a sign.

Sassy: 
When did you start posting again?     A year ago last month.

So not privy to the past or the examples then?  You are right about that.  Also I wouldn't want to know about anything that went on in the past because I feel it is better not to have preconceived ideas. 

So again you speak about things you have not witnessed and based only on todays examples. 
Not just today surely, a year's worth, but we have to live in the here and now Sassy and not hark back to past things all the time?  If I felt this was a bad place I'd stop posting and do something else.  It's not bad at all but nothing is perfect.  I have spoken plainly enough when I've felt something is wrong, quite able to stand alone, and what I have said has been considered but I'm only one poster amongst many.  If I don't like the outcome I can disappear.
This forum is only part of our lives.

Sassy is off on her "all Moderators are anti-Christian/anti-Sassy" pitch again.

Well it's over now Owlswing.  It hasn't harmed any of us.  It's not easy being a lone voice on a forum, or feeling as though we are, any of us could be in that position (and some have at times).  Yet life goes on.

[Brownie]

I understand there is a large section of American society who are anti-gun and also do not adhere to much of the right wing ideology.  This isn't from my personal experience but what I have been told by someone who works in the States for a period every year.  However he obviously mixes with people of like mind.

Over now!? When? How?

If people don't like the way the forum is run they are not obliged to post here, as has been pointed out to Sass, many a time.

Since when has pointing anything out to Sassy, regardless of how many times, had any visible effect?

I meant it's over for now.  Unless anyone wants to carry it on.  Personally I'd leave it until tomorrow  .

What is over for now? Please!

[Brownie]

It makes me weary to go on and on about stuff on forums.  As if there is no life outside, admittedly I don't have much but I do have some.  Had my lunch and am taking very sick cat to vet.  What was said earlier no longer seems very important, if it comes up again tomorrow it may provoke a response from me but for now I've had enough.  If others want to carry it on that's up to them.  I said a fair bit earlier on in the thread and cannot think of anything else to add.

Try reading it instead of assuming... I have been told:- 'Assumption is the mother of all f*ck ups' so you must be expert now?

No a years worth isn't enough there were five years before that...

[Owlswing]

Assumption is the mother of all f*ck ups - wrong, misquote from Sassy again - it shoud read ASSERTION not ASSUMPTION!

[Brownie]

I realise that Sassy but should I, or anyone else, think about what went before?  Isn't it better to work with what we have now?

I joined when R&E first started and my first impression was that it was a very good replica of the old BBC forum.  There were, however, things with which I was not comfortable (which I voiced), and I drifted away.  Nothing to do with Christians being bullied, I never saw that;  other stuff.   That doesn't matter now, it isn't relevant five years or so on, the forum is different.

We have posted on many a forum and there has never been one without rows, misunderstandings, accusations, insults, people being suspended and banned (including me). These things pass, there's no point in hanging on to stuff that has gone before;  in any case we are supposed to keep short accounts.

As well as all the serious stuff it can be fun here. You can be extremely witty when you feel like it!

I guess you have not heard that we can use any word we like?

I was speaking about your assumption not assertion.

a confident and forceful statement of fact or belief.

You were assuming not asserting....

Assume
suppose to be the case, without proof.

You got it wrong... Hence I said Assumption because  there was nothing assertive about what you stated.
Here endeth the lesson.

You are incapable of giving lessons in anything - EXCEPT how to cut and paste from the Bible.

You are a one trick pony completely incapable of independent thought.

You have, with your interminable "you don't know what you are talking about", "you are lying", "you do not have God in your life", "you do not know the bible", "you are ignorant of the meaning of God's/Christ's love", killed more threads than clothes moths.

You have, I presume, a brain - shame you allow a book to do the job that your brain evolved to do without that book.

What a dismal and pathetic waste.

She's not here Owlswing, gone, read Thrud's post in Mod&Admin section.
Edit: Oh I see you have already.

Yeah! For 28 days!

She will return, her evangelical zeal undiminished, that is the nature of the beast.

[Brownie]

Let us enjoy the brief summer while it lasts.
You didn't get much sleep last night, you are well named Owlswing.  I did manage to sleep until about 4.45am but intend to go back to bed for a bit (of sleep), so ta ta for now.
