Perhaps it’s time for a repost of RangerNettiquitte… I guess it had to happen some time in
life, but never have I been personally attacked as I have been today by folks
who are supposed to be on the same team.
The team that is commissioned to reach, teach
and keep boys for Christ… My
salvation and even my humanity was questioned by some
folks responding to my posts. It’s
shameful to say the least. It’s been said that Christians are
the only army that shoots their own wounded, but it went beyond even that today…
it was believers who fired the wounding shots. The subject matter related to organization
issues, policies of the National Office and personal views of said issues. We’re all entitled to our views and
opinions, even if such views and opinions vary among the brethren. Discussions are healthy, even when
disagreements are the end product… but when those discussions digress
into personal attacks, the line of appropriate Rangernet
behavior has been crossed. Again, we were NOT talking about doctrinal
matters here, we were merely talking organizational structure and policy issues
in regards to what should and should not be a focus in the Ranger charter at
this present time … TODAY. I
can appreciate the fact that some folks feel strongly about the issue, but some
times, emotions need to be left on the shelf so they don’t cloud the
issue being discussed. It’s shameful to see the harassment of some folks who
decided they needed to attack me personally because of my views and opinions on
this matter. I’ve been told today to read my Bible and confess my
sins and realize the error of my sinful arrogance… I didn’t realize that pointing
kids to Christ was considered arrogance.… but just in case you’re
worried about such things, I do read and pray daily, as we all should. Blessings, Parson. |
