Ya know, I feel a spirit of "I am right and you are wrong" from certain posters ALL of the time. Does it make it right to "stoop to that level?!"

In my opinion, and for what it may be worth, no...never!!

Arrogance at any level and on either side of wrong can never be termed right, Dan...it just can't.

Who said it was your place to run out the money changers?!

Who said ridiculing and mocking WH was right?! I strongly disagreed with what he said in that thread and respectfully tried to tell him so, but what makes you think that what you did was justified?!

Can a Saint of God EVER find justification for laying someone low because we think we have a right?!

If someone doesn't respect another's views or beliefs or convictions, the guilt for lack of respect should be left to their charge...what gives anyone the right to answer in kind?!

All that does is push people's buttons and alert admin and people get banned or decide to leave in anger or disgust...it just ends up being a mess of junk between SAINTS!!

We have a wealth of words at our disposal and a zillion different ways to arrange them, Bro. Dan...surely there is a better way of expressing ourselves than what has been witnessed and not cause strife.

I'm not sure if you will receive this because I am not a minister, but I pray you do. I pray that you receive it in the spirit of grace in which it is given.

Barb,
I don't know any of us that haven't pushed some buttons or made some mistakes.

Therefore, I have no admonition to give.

I'm just reading what he's saying and knowing that he is a nice person and like us all - can get a little steamed under the collar.

It's just another day at FCF, NFCF and AFF and sometimes GNC if you dare. lol!
