  1. My work on GSC is complete. Thank you for giving me a place to vent and I wouldnt be where I am now if it wasnt for my time here. Some of you if not all may think im crazy. I was crazy and this isnt the same. I thought I was crazy in the beginning too...its fine. https://www.eyesupandopen.org/index.php/articles-from-various-authors/my-testimony-expanded-version
  2. If hostile reactions are calling you out on your bullshonta then so be it. You taking a page out of mikes playbook now?
  3. Exactly. So if the moderators choose to let their bias rule the roost here at GSC and allow posts such as these then its pretty much a given that I will not participate here. Its intersting how others demand tolerance in their atheistic view points, yet Ive been very tolerant, yet that tolerance is used as an excuse to bash my Christian beliefs. Fair enough. I didnt realize about the way section on grease spot cafe was made to "challenge the foundations of one's belief." I thought iit was to tell the other side of the story. Im not here for that and neither am I here to challenge the foundation of anyone's beliefs unless those beliefs tie into "About the way".
  4. Though this isnt a "Christian" website, many people here no longer have any respect for Christians or their beliefs. Bible bashing is a large part of what grease spot has become and frankly I find it offensive and seldom participate here as a result. It is what it is because Ive grown so far past the way international I have little left to say on them that I havent stated already, or has been stated by others. I feel this site is no longer tolerant of Christians and that includes me. Peace.
  5. Those guys had so much fun n performing...they all smiled frequently on stage. Huge fan here...as if you couldn't tell.
  6. Love watching Pulse...some of the best post Roger Waters live footage ever....

    Cool, your welcome and very happy to hear you are on the mend!!!
  8. I think there is room to maneuver on this one because forgiving a wrong brings up the ability to discern, or judge, right from wrong and take appropriate action according to the situation. Theres times I have forgiven unconditionally, in the case of the way international's leadership who wronged me, and thers times I havent. I feel that people equate unforgiveness with bitterness and hatred. Nothing could be further from the truth. Its a case by case scenario that has no room for black and white thinking, though modern day churchianity seems to handle the topic in said manner.
  9. Agreed. The main point I was making is it's a bit easier to see people in person and communicate in a more intimate manner than the interweb. It does help to see people's expressions and such, body languaget, etc. But on the flip side many of our debates on GSC have yielded pleasant enough results. So we are here to discuss and debate and even argue...how else can we prove all things? Great points, Sir!
  10. Exactly. Right on the money. This is the cornerstone to my cult recovery and recovery from alcoholism. Im simply not the same person as I was...true repentance and forgiveness has occured. It has encouraged me to read your summation on the matter. Thanks!
  11. We need more cow bell....
  12. No I dont. I dont think that at all based on the premise that without true repentance and an actual change on the offending party God will not forgive. He allowed his son to die for the sins of all...what else does he need to do? Rhetorical of course but its food for thought. God has moved and most people wont accept God's peace offering by giving his only begotton son for remission of sins. TWI still has an unsettled account but its not my account as Ive forgiven them...from here the Lord can decide how this all sorts out and in the end they are still my brethren in Christ, even though they are a corrupt organization. It would be great, say for example, that Charity wronged me and she could obtain forgiveness by me forgiving her. Forgiveness comes by true repentance and making amends where possible. I live this way faithfully and to the letter as a recovering alcoholic. Ive spent the last several years living exactly what Im preaching. And thus, I am forgiven of my many grevious sins and am at peace with God and Christ.
  13. Very true. Online communications on an anon forums is difficult, especially in topics we are emotionally invested in such as those prevelant on GSC. Since the latest round of Mike wars Ive really desired to stop the bickering and I have. Im doing my best to stay objective and not get into the know you are but what am I type arguments that you guys warned me would ensue...lol. Peace all!
  14. you havent missed out on anything. I reached out to them in my first 6 months out of TWI, somehow thinking something would be different. And to be clear, they are all different from each other as they have all taken what they liked from TWI and rebranded it with their own additions and spin. But at the end of the day its the same ole trap.
