Seriously not understanding you. I'm even trying.

I see you maybe with experience on AFF of people bashing Cons, who you say you are opposite of, and wanting to roll up the sleeves for them. This was a rush to judgement for a position that maybe you are an advocate of? Help me understand your irrational response.


Yep... man up. thats about right.

and I didnt say I was opposite of the cons. I am a moderate so I take my shots at both sides.... and have defended both sides when I feel they are on the right side of an issue.

but yea. you walk in a new direction. dont be shocked when those you taugth the old direction think youve gone nuts. In their eyes you have.

Man up to what?????? What the freakin heck are you talking about?

The man is shell shocked. He can't believe this is happening to him. Your comforting words are "MAN UP?"

(So who are you defending exactly)

MAN UP!

Your a "mod" in your own mind.

You're cold-blooded and heartless, at least in this instance.

Pass the chewing tobacco. You guys are REAL MEN. We are all so impressed.

Instead of words of comfort, you push him down with your boot and tell him to be a "real man." Beautiful. So proud of you. Hope you don't pastor like that too.

See, this is where your liberal blinders have you all messed up.

I am not defending anyone.

i am telling a guy that is "shocked and hurt" that he isn't hurt and he should not be shocked.

He taught these people! he knows them! If he is part of a con church and a leader, he has had conversations about people "who have gone charismatic"

so now when he is headed that direction there should be no shock!

Do I think the cons who are praying for his soul are right? Ive answerd that, I would not be going to that church.

Do I understand their behavior? without question. this is what they are taught. it is what they understand. one of thiers is walking away. I expect they feel aweful about it.

sometimes truth is cold blooded in heartless.

and there is a very big difference between a new converts response to something and a full grown man in leadership taking a new direction.

i would be soft and sweet to the new convert.

grown men need to act like it. (Like Paul said, get off the milk!)

(oh and I have a TV)

Man Up. Own Up. That's what you said.

I've had those conversations about others too. But when you're going through it yourself, it's on a whole different level. And yes, the things that come out of people during that time is deep ugliness. It's quite shocking.
