[TruthTalk] Street Preaching

[Judy Taylor]

jt: He goes the extra mile in trying to make himself understood - which you apparently interpret as "too wordy" I don't see "ostentatious" how? Bragadocious - possibly his proclamation of God's truth in his own life which you interpret as him bragging on himself. Note: How does one chat in a chat room without being "wordy"?   Lance Muir <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: What has David done to 'tweak' me? Nothing. It is simply who I find him to be on this 'chat' room. Who might that be? Bragadocious, ostentatious and far too wordy.     On Sat, 29 Jan 2005 13:47:50 -0500 "Lance Muir" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: Indeed, you may.   Misplaced? Certainly not. A much better moderater than David (not caught up in 'fundy' legalisms)   jt: What?  With only 613 Midrashes to keep up with and all the feasts.  What you say? Not caught up in fundy legalisms?  I would think that would be a relief.   Too much on his plate? Maybe.   Inside knowledge? No. I can 'read' people.   jt: Just like Builder Bob. Possibly you have an insight into those who are just 'like you' a birds of a feather type thingy?   Up front? He was as up front as you can get.   jt: I didn't see it. Not saying he wasn't a nice fellow now but IMO Slade tried to accomplish things by innuendo and Jewish stories from the rabbis which is hardly up front.   Let David 'take his bat and ball' and go home if he wishes.   jt: When he elects to do that it will be closing up shop time for all of us. I notice you fellows are not overburdened with gratefulness. What has DavidM done to tweak you? Maybe you expect too much of him, he is after all human [in Christ] just like the rest of us.   From: Judy Taylor jt: Might I respectfully disagree with both of you? [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Does anyone other than me NOT find it strange that Slade 'exited stage left' without contacting David?   jt: If he is in fact gone then yes, I find it strange. There is a right way to do things for those in positions of authority but then Slade was possibly misplaced and has too much on his plate right now. Sometimes it's difficult to say that little word....   Lance: DAVID:WHATEVER GOD MAY HAVE GIFTED YOU WITH, HE DID NOT, I REPEAT not GIFT YOU WITH DISCERNMENT!! This departure, along with it's circumstances was visible a mile away.   jt: Do you have inside knowledge that David is not privy to Lance?  Remember spiritual discernment is different from esp and/or reading minds. There's a different Spirit involved, the latter are not gifts sent to the Church.   I think it must be that 'last to know' thingy. jt: How is one supposed to know if people are not up front about what they are doing.  Hey! he's only the list-owner, he's just the one putting his money and name on the line so that we can enjoy ourselves at his expense here.
