Whatever happened to Josh?

OneAccord · #1 11-05-2009, 04:12 AM

What ever happened to Josh? As we talk about the many things we talk about here on AFF, I can't help but wonder whatever happened to Josh. Did he repent of his sins and leave his old sinful lifestyle? Did he find a good Apostolic church and get baptized in Jesus Name? Has he recieved the Holy Ghost? Does any one know what ever happened to Josh?

Does anyone know who Josh is? As we continue our discussions about everything from politics to the new GS to debating whether or not is okay to drink alcohol- (can you believe it, Holy Ghost filled Christains having to debate whether or not its okay to drink booze?)- has anyone stopped to pray for, or at least wonder about, Josh? Does anyone but a very few even care who Josh is? Just wondering....

...maybe if we don't know who Josh is, its because we spend too much time talking and not enough time listening.

Must've been before my time but there's a line in the middle of your post that made me laugh loud.

(can you believe it, Holy Ghost filled Christains having to debate whether or not its okay to drink booze?)

That's funny.

I checked the members list and "josh" hasn't posted since 1/23/08 - almost two years ago.

I don't remember him either, even though our memberships might have slightly overlapped.

The Josh I'm referring to joined in October of this year. He has posted only one time. Oh, and he goes by another name (though he signed his post as Josh). He's "YesJesusLoves". I was just wondering, what ever happened to Josh?

OneAccord, been checking daily to see if Josh has posted. I am still praying for him. I know PETER has been very burdened for him also.

Do we know that Josh is a real person? I mean the character of "Josh", not the fact that there isn't a real flesh and blood person behind the screen name posting.

He could be, but on the other hand the post seems rather..... Mmmmmm.... Wellllll......

I believe that Josh is real, and has a real burden and a hard battle. I spent 40 years battling what Josh is going through now. We should all pray for and reach out to the Josh's of the world, there are a great many who are bound by the devil and sin, who want help and don't have the strength or resources to help themselves. Jesus helps those who turn away from the sin, the turning away is the hard part, unless you have lived it, don't assume it's just a matter of doing it, the physical battle is very painful, the spiritual is harder, and the devil drums on your brain the whole time. Don't just read his words, look into them and you can see his pain.
As for his post, there is no Mmmm,,,,,,,, welllll in it, but there is much pain. Rather than question him, reach out to him, negative comments only damage people like Josh, positive ones lift them up and help them. Pray for the many Josh's of the world.
Bro. Peter

Oh I believe there are many "Joshes" in the world. But, I DO question "him". It is quite the post for someone who has only posted once -or has he?
