I have on a few occasions.

How about you?

It’s not really that bad RitaJanice, before I became a mod I would often contemplate leaving. I guess being a mod gave me a sense of purpose, that’s now gone. I have so many differing views to many on here and so many things get debated all the time that things just go round and round- ends up becoming stale and unproductive to keep reading.
However it was something else that triggered my thoughts yesterday. I will see how I feel in a few days time. I honestly would not be missed as I don’t post that much.

You would be missed my darling..you know I keep badgering you at times with pms.....you’re my mate,xx

I think it’s the arguing I keep getting myself involved in, Will God ever set me free from my pride and ego?

I think I try to hard to please him, which I know I shouldn’t do....I haven’t argued today though, I’ve been tempted to jump in and have my two cents worth.

I remember you saying on a thread once have your two cents, then walk away...that was good advice....I’m going to try that, I keep forgetting that I don’t have to answer members back...I can just keep posting what I believe to be God’s truth....that way the enemy can’t ensnare me,xx

Just my thoughts,Rita,xx

I have sometimes felt like giving up on the forum but I've found that ignoring certain members and not getting involved in supposition, speculation or heated debate that just goes round and round in circles makes visiting much more enjoyable.

So true, I’ve just read a load of my posts, well, at least I can recognise that in myself....now God needs to help me with it and He will.....providing I keep my mouth zipped...I know it’s not a laughing matter and understand completely what you say here.

I have loads on ignore, and I agree it is an asset. I've never come across it on any other sites. Also I think you pretty much get to know those who are born again from those who belong to cults and sects. Many people have tried to shake my beliefs but none have succeeded. I stand on the Rock who is Jesus.

Me too, Sis....Praise The Lord.
Yes we are not like the man who built his house on sand.

Matthew 7:24-25
“Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock.

Don't do this to me!

Do you know how rare it is to find someone who is humble and capable of admitting they can be wrong on here?

It's a rare jewel: strong opinions combined with humility!

That's likely why you got the badge! You remember that!


Ive actually never thought of deleting my account here.

A bad moment can happen or someone can get on my nerves but I don't need to be on here all the time.

Absolutely, and almost from day one of becoming a member then, my dear friend Helen whom I have not seen but knew she was pulling away, in-boxed me with a good kick-butt, encouragement, "grow a thick skin" she would say. Lol.

Yes, several times over the 6 years here I have wanted to do that but; realized it was a "moody day" making me want to do that. Seeing the arguments and such but, God keeps me here!

I have to admit I have been a terrible arguer....I understand arguing, I think until one understands that it’s all about “ SELF” you won’t be set free from it.....I “ Loved” to argue....why, because I had been mute for so long , then found my voice and realised my opinion was as valid as anyone else’s..I would argue until the cows came home....I realise now that arguing is of “ SELF” what does God say about arguing...

I always have had to learn Gods truth in my spirit, it’s in His written word of course, but, I had to have it relayed to my heart/ spirit, if that makes sense.

I communicate with God via the Living Holy Spirit.......always have...and Gods Witness the Living Holy Spirit backs up what I hear him say to my spirit...... in God’s written word.

He speaks to my spirit and I believe I am well aware most of the time now, when it’s me speaking.xx

No, I've been on several Christian websites over the years. This is the first one that didn't harass me.
