Good afternoon folks. I am posting this to thank Jim Robinson for such a light and yet very functional and practical site. I am honored to be able and participate.
Text Content counts more than visual aesthetics and Bangles and Bling. Very well done considering his geographic location and demographics.
I will be jumping in to the comment sections as soon as possible but have to first warn you all of my background and position. I am a Christian Minister who has lost his way and can no longer claim Righteousness.
Too much has happened that can be pointed as wrong doing and intent of even my own faith before I can judge others. I have studied the History of the Future, and it looks pretty bleak due to our own actions as The Divine ones, The Chosen ones. (Every faith claims this with fallacy).
Radical Extremism and Hypocrisy will be the downfall of Humanity no matter the source. Two Wrongs do not make a right. Right is Right and Wrong is Wrong. No matter the Source.
Extremism, Hypocrisy and Intolerance will indeed be the down fall of all our Grandchildren no matter of Origin, Faith or Race. We will all be judged based on our own personal Hypocrisy and lack of true Self-Righteousness in the end.
Take the High Road and you will be truly and honestly Righteous.
Will you please just kneel down and say some prayers.
You aren’t making sense.

Welcome to FR.
Do I detect a whiff of ozone?
BUMPing as a reminder to check back re your survival here...
Somebody got it. LOL
Well, isn't that just terrible. What sort of Christian minister were you, and why should anyone heed an unrighteous former minister who has lost his way? You're here looking for guidance, I take it?
You are so screwed.
Something about your post really scares me. I could be wrong but something just bothers me and not just a little.
Perfect! Kudos.
We All know What Home is ,don’t We ???
No.
Funny ,never Been there myself but I think
It must be better than this
Upholstered Toliet.
Would that be the sister city of Upholstered Joliet?
(Just kidding - that is a great description of the mortal world!)
I sense a little mental instability, but no danger...
It’s bothersome when someone’s personal insights are not first explained. I don’t have the cliff notes to his thinking, and the verbiage he uses sounds a little off, as if we ought to know what he means by words, but those words are not the standard meaning most accept.
I always like to get the foundation clearly understood before moving foreward, so here are some questions.
Who are “we” told to hate? (And who are “we”, and who is telling “us”?)
Who is the list of people “we” are supposed to hate? Are you referring to atheists? People of other Christian denominations? Mohammedans? Faggots? Democrats? Republicans? Jews? People of non-Abrahamic religious faiths like Buddhists, Hindus, Jains, Zoroastrians?
Europeans? Indonesians? Kenyans? Illegals? People using fake IDs like 0bola?
I have been blocked from replying or commenting back. Says a lot...
I believe that is now a common practice with new members.
What have you been smoking, or snorting?
I had to email to get them released. There is more going on here than you see my Friend.
So? Trying to be Courteous and introduce who I am and What I Believe is a problem? Then being heavily Moderated to the point that I cannot even make an effort to maintain continuity with respect back to those that have shared the time to graciously reply to my post? Maybe it’s the scrip, Maybe it’s Moderated. Either way it’s not doing the Continuity of this Conversation any justice.
No...I am in search of just one truly honest and righteous man of those men among us... I cannot claim to be quite that righteous myself...
