I hate to be the one to break it to you, Mike, but..... you overrate your significance on this board. Things don't revolve around you, nor do we wish you'd suddenly start posting again when you take a break. This SHOULD be comforting- as in, there's less pressure to perform, but more likely, it's LESS comforting for someone who's still searching for converts to his belief system. BTW, being on the spectrum would remove a lot of the stigma of your refusal to converse in a civil manner like everyone else, since you might be unable to see the difference. That wouldn't be an "attack", it would partly excuse you for previous incidents.

Salesman: You should buy this car. Me: Why? Salesman: I can't tell you.

Mike is both defensive and indicates some sort of feel-good feedback response, like conditioning or addiction. He shouldn't have to answer the spectrum questions. JMO.

It was you who changed the topic, Mike. If you stayed on topic, you wouldn't drag everyone off into jumping on you. You have no idea what people are doing, but rest assured, offering "God's Word" PFAL style probably isn't it. However, there are people here who are offering God's Word in many other ways. "Under-shepherding" and other Way jargon doesn't cut it either. We are to help each other and guide each other in the way of Truth, and that means helping and guiding from the newest Christian to the apparently most mature. Not one of us is perfect, so we all need a little help and guidance at times.

well.... Mike, going off on a little tizzy? What is "God's Word"?

There's always been a disconnect between the REALITY of twi and the CLAIMS of twi. IIRC, it was ROA 77 (but it could have been later) when vpw said they were going to take a list of all the verses that said that Jesus is the Son of God, and nail them to the doors of the local churches that afternoon (Sunday, at the close.) What happened? vpw went to each church door, without a list of any kind. He left a sign- "Jesus Christ-not God, never was, never will be!" and an autographed copy of "Jesus Christ is Not God." If there was any hope that discussion MIGHT have been sparked by the list, absolutely none was sparked by the antagonistic sign, and the autographed copy of the book was just ego-massage. None of that accomplished anything other than making vpw feel important.
