Go read what Barb said. She said "unkind"..good grief. That's twice now I have told you I was not replying to you. I said SHE was assuming that when I pointed out YOU said they thanked you.

They didn't call you crazy lunatic. They thanked you and according to you they looked at you weird....what is weird? Well Barb assumed it meant they were unkind.

I think it's idiotic to assume because they were not jumping up and down like a lap dog that they were being unkind. Unkind people don't bother to thank someone for opening the door. Unkind people would ignore you or just say "What's it to you"

If you walked up to a baptist that never met you and said "Hey brother" and to his wife "Good to see you sister", I bet they'd look at you funny too, but I bet they would be cordial as well and not nasty.

BTW the early church used that fish sign to identify themselves to each other.

I wonder, just how often would a total stranger walk up to you and assume you were a brother or sister? You said you said "Praise the Lord" to a baptist, but did you already know he was a baptist? Was there a reason in his mind for a total stranger to just say "Praise the Lord"? To some people that might catch them off guard for a moment wondering why a total stranger knows them or knows they are Christians. And in fact I have seen it many times. I have see other Apostolics and walked up to them to talk and at first they looked "weird" too until I explained that I could tell THEY were Apostolics. That does not mean or imply anything other than what is in the mind of the one that wants to draw an accusation.

LOL!! Prax, how many pages back did I say that "unkind" may have been the wrong word...that was just how I first read Carp's post.

I am not in the habit of being judgmental...at least not anymore, nor do I assume the worst or make sweeping generalizations.

I am nicely asking, how many times must I say this?! Can we not move on?!

I have been to church, out to supper, downtown to see what the movie makers are doing in town, and still this is being talked about...*sigh*
