Actually, it IS my business to make sure this forum runs smoothly and there's not someone being disruptive.
I'm a little astonished at this poster who frequents another forum with his posting style, which is in the same fashion. It seems, IMO, rather hypocritical to criticize AFF after that! JMHO!

None of your business what i do. By the way, in business it is standard procedure to discuss billing rates in engagement letters and documents.
I don't sell paint.
Envious folks are the first to denouncing bragging when they have no facts.

when I have published research in journals, I provide a professional Curriculum Vitae.

I am goin to church. You can sit here and stew.

Go get to work and see if you can get something on Obama. let us know if you can. Apparently some people decided what people do not need to know.
My understand of business is that you do not spout off 'facts' without being able to back them up. I have never discussed billing rates with someone who doesn't need to know. I do not discuss how much I charge for something or some service with people who have no need or reason to be discussing it with me. To discuss such things with the 'average joe' is to show ignorance. Why would I want to know what you charge and how much you charge for services if I am not going to be using your services? So if you bring up how much you charge and how many degrees you have I am going to want to know what in and what for. If you think that is none of my business why would you bring it up? Obviously a person who brings up a subject wants to TALK about it or they are pretty ignorant. No reason to bring up a subject you know nothing about.
There is an old saying, "Better to be thought a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt."
Some people should learn that.
So glad you are off to church, may God help you while you are there.

Why are you astonished? We all know there are a bunch of fake and ignorant 'Christians' out there. Bound to have them show their face here from time to time.

It's like having (or witnessing) an argument with my dog. LOL

"OHHHH!!!! You called me a DOG!" will be next screeching (or is that screaching?) post.

What I will proactively say about that, is that I make the comparison because my dog, while being extremely intelligent, also lives in a very VERY small universe where everything is centered on him and his immediate wants and needs. He doesn't understand the "rules" of an argument. All logic is filtered through his basic needs and desires and thus you cannot have a logical argument with him.

I still say he's a Bot. A meaningless piece of javascript reacting to certain keywords in a post and generating a semi-random response to each based on a preset algorithm which cannot change.

You're right, they do. I teach my children to apologize when they make mistakes. I don't keep hammering them about it for days on end. I also teach them that they are required to accept their siblings' apologies and practice forgiveness.

Then you go to another board and gossip and accuse me of being angry?
Are you aware that I'm a moderator on the other board? It is my job to let you know that this disagreement needs to stay off that board. The GNC has different rules and a different type of atmosphere than this one. For that matter, if you talked over there like you have here on this thread, you would have already been banned, and not by me.

Quote:
I an not angry.. some people need to be exposed before they can take their malicious ways to harm weak people.
So you are getting revenge? What exactly are you exposing about me?

Quote:
You can try but you can't hurt followers of Jesus. Any body can read something that is not true. Only after you were exposed did you try to cover with "fiction", "joke" etc.
There was nothing to expose, coadie. Everyone read the remarks already. They've also read my apology, and my conscience is clear, because I am not returning evil for evil. Sarcasm is not the same as lying, and talking about information you've posted publicly on this very thread isn't gossip.

You are extrapolating, trying to turn mountains into molehills, and it's very telling that you are more angry NOW, after I apologized and tried to move on than you were before.

I also don't understand why you said anything to me via PM. Why didn't you post it here for the whole world to see? God sees what you wrote, even if this forum "audience" doesn't. In the past, I've been known to just post those PM's in the public forum, because I have zero interest in secrecy and behind the scenes conversations. However, I'm being merciful.

Matthew 6:14 For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you:
Matthew 6:15 But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.



Luke 17:3 Take heed to yourselves: If thy brother trespass against thee, rebuke him; and if he repent, forgive him.



I John 4:20 If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen?

Re: Cosmetics???

BTW if and when someone claims, in the course of a discussion, to be an authority or to know what they are talking about due to some sort of expertise, it is reasonable and expected for that person to pony up and provide credentials.

How this issue got started I don't know, but Coadie, you have not offered a single argument that makes cosmetics a sin. You've made a LOT of unsubstantiated claims external to the scriptures though.

Re: Cosmetics???

Question: If you believe makeup is a sin, do you believe plucking your eyebrows is a sin? Just something I was thinking about this morning. Noticed someone at church who had 'done' their eyebrows, and it changed the look of their whole face. (for the better, in this case)

Re: Cosmetics???

Hello there Cody. My wife and I pretty much shun makeup.

Interesting to read that you were Mennonite at some point... do I understand correctly? I was born and raised Old Order Mennonite. http://ninetyandnine.com/Archives/20.../testimony.htm

It is true there are many Mennonite colleges - though not Old Order.

Black onto the eyes.
White powder up the nose
red paint on the lips

We have visited may dear Old Order friends. I was raised on a farm and around relatives in Mexico . Our relatives had no modern machinery and we did.

Wonder where the poster got his info on mennonites? He said they taught false doctrine. Must have watched amish preech on tv. No many amish come to the need for a personal repentence and salvation to walk with the LORD


I suspect we have as many on our pews that will miss the rapture as will other churches.

There will be virgins that have no oil when the bridegroom comes.
