Looking for someone with drug/alcohol experience
 
I have a potential situation that I need to speak to someone about. If there is someone here who has experience in dealing with teens and drugs/alcohol, please PM me. I need some advice.

Oh, and I don't have the discernment to know if you are truthful, so it would help if honesty is one of your qualities. And no, I'm not wanting to ask about how to apply the siding on my house or how to cook Chicken a la King, so feel free to assume that I have questions about teens and drugs/alcohol.

I was going to offer to help but, well, that honesty thing was the deal breaker.

Now, about siding. First, nail a strip of J channel....

Oneness man,

I'm not Joy. And I don't really think you meant for this to be rude. But did you notice that she asked for anyone who had experience to PM her? I think it is pretty obvious that whoever she's talking about, she doesn't want to share the details out here for the public and everyone and their brother to read. At least not at this time.

I am not being rude, but it is common knowledge though.

it is? I hadn't heard it before.

And I'm just saying that if JOY wants to say who it is, that should be up to her. She hadn't done that as of yet. So I guess we can just pray for whoever it is that she is concerned about. God knows who it is. That's good enough. We don't all have to know.

Thank you, Rhoni. I'm glad it was not only me who thought that this was out of line.

Why in the world would fellow Christians - people who are supposed to love as Jesus loves - feel the need to be so hurtful to others of like faith? I don't get that at all. For shame!

Look in the mirror before you try judging others. I did nothing wrong and why are you making a big deal about it? It's done and over.

James 4:11 Speak not evil one of another, brethren. He that speaketh evil of his brother, and judgeth his brother, speaketh evil of the law, and judgeth the law: but if thou judge the law, thou art not a doer of the law, but a judge.

James 5:9 Grudge not one against another, brethren, lest ye be condemned: behold, the judge standeth before the door.


BTW, Joy posted it on another thread.

I'm making a big deal of it because Joy very specifically did NOT tell us who it was she was talking about. That is information for HER to share - not you or anyone else. She can share it IF and when she chooses to. If not, we have no business speaking out of turn.

And as far as it being done over and over ---- well, friend, like I tell my kids, "Just because Johnny gets drunk and drives down the road, does that make it ok for YOU to get drunk and drive down the road? No. it doesn't. Wrong is wrong"

If you can feel good about what you've said here, fine. I couldn't do this to a friend and then sleep comfortably tonight. If this was YOUR loved one whose identity you were trying to protect, would you like it if someone came on and claimed that they knew who it was by "discernment"? I imagine not. I know I wouldn't.

You shouldn't make a big deal about it.

Nothing is wrong with what I did, so could you just build a bridge and get over it.

I didn't do nothing wrong.

Why do you attack people for no reason at all?

That would be the only way that they would know and that is by discernment.

Well, I love you too.

One of the things I hate about some Apostolic men...they just don't have enough discernment to admit they are wrong and say, "I am sorry".

How about Apostolic women to admit they are wrong and say, "I am sorry"?

You think what you did was not wrong? :huh:foottap

Whatever! you have to live with yourself. I've spoken my piece. It's pointless to talk to some people, so I'm outa here.

By the way, you can say the words, "I love you, too" as much as you want. They mean nothing unless your actions back the words up.

Re: Looking for someone with drug/alcohol experien
 
I feel like I'm having a flashback of "Space Odyssey" !!!:snapout

[Regarding the supposed failure of the parabolic antenna on the ship, which HAL himself falsified]


HAL: It can only be attributable to human error.
Dave Bowman: Hello, HAL do you read me, HAL?
HAL: Affirmative, Dave, I read you.
Dave Bowman: Open the pod bay doors, HAL.
HAL: I'm sorry Dave, I'm afraid I can't do that.
Dave Bowman: What's the problem?
HAL: I think you know what the problem is just as well as I do.
Dave Bowman: What are you talking about, HAL?
HAL: This mission is too important for me to allow you to jeopardize it.
Dave Bowman: I don't know what you're talking about, HAL?
HAL: I know you and Frank were planning to disconnect me, and I'm afraid that's something I cannot allow to happen.
Dave Bowman: Where the hell'd you get that idea, HAL?
HAL: Dave, although you took thorough precautions in the pod against my hearing you, I could see your lips move.
HAL: Just what do you think you're doing, Dave?

[HAL won't let Dave into the ship]

Dave Bowman: All right, HAL; I'll go in through the emergency airlock.
HAL: Without your space helmet, Dave, you're going to find that rather difficult.
Dave Bowman: HAL, I won't argue with you anymore! Open the doors!
HAL: Dave, this conversation can serve no purpose anymore. Goodbye.

[on Dave's return to the ship, after HAL has killed the rest of the crew]

HAL: Look Dave, I can see you're really upset about this. I honestly think you ought to sit down calmly, take a stress pill, and think things over.
HAL: I know I've made some very poor decisions recently, but I can give you my complete assurance that my work will be back to normal. I've still got the greatest enthusiasm and confidence in the mission. And I want to help you.

[HAL's shutdown]

HAL: I'm afraid. I'm afraid, Dave. Dave, my mind is going. I can feel it. I can feel it. My mind is going. There is no question about it. I can feel it. I can feel it. I can feel it. I'm a... fraid. Good afternoon, gentlemen. I am a HAL 9000 computer. I became operational at the H.A.L. plant in Urbana, Illinois on the 12th of January 1992. My instructor was Mr. Langley, and he taught me to sing a song. If you'd like to hear it I can sing it for you.
Dave Bowman: Yes, I'd like to hear it, HAL. Sing it for me.

OM, I'm beginning to think you have made a bet with someone just to see how long it will take you to be banned!

Nobody carries on and on and on the way you do and expects to stay a part of a forum. It's only a matter of time..........

I really wish I had nothing more serious to be worried about than someone else's business.

Would you mind telling me what that's like, OM?

As for what you did to HO, I find it highly disturbing. I'm sure you were just wanting us all to know who to pray for. :tic

I know how it is. It is pointless to talk to some people, but I believe that I can still show them the truth even though they love to ridicule me. See, I still love you.

My actions do back up my words. I love you even though you have been mean to me. That is the truth even if you don't believe me.

You seriously don't see what you said that upset people? I hope it was a simple matter of being really bad at online communication... But it was so bad I have trouble believing that's all it was.

The reason people get upset is because they choose to and if I did something wrong, why don't you guys try and pray for me, because prayer still works.
