[TruthTalk] Ad Hom Farce

[Judy Taylor]

From: "Bill Taylor" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> David, you bemoan the fact that you can't keep a moderator. But no more than get one and you start undermining his authority. Please, either back your man or correspond with him in private when you think he's misappropriated himself. Bill   Lance writes: Amen Bill! And one wonders at Slade's departure???   Lance follows with: David: I don't know which came first, this or Bill's post suggesting you shouldn't be doing this very thing. You do note it's inappropriateness, don't you?   You fellows amaze me; most of you continually tweak and nitpick at everything DavidM says and/or does. His posts are too long, he hasn't explained himself enough or they are way too detailed, he believes in sinless perfection and on and on...   Now that you see him in a bind are you waiting in line to become part of the answer or are you busy adding to the problem? I notice each is a practiced critic with plenty to say. Izzy has said more than once that she wouldn't be on this list but for DavidM and she has been raked through the coals and called a David idolater because of it -  you still don't get it do you?   Let me just put it this way - He is a man with spiritual fruit in his life; one who takes God's Word seriously, one who is patient, kind, and longsuffering with others, one who I've never seen overtaken with malice, anger, or vengeful, and one who serves rather than lords it over God's people.   All of this rhetoric about authority and what is appropriate/inappropriate gives me the creeps. This is why the visible Church is so void of power.  Too much authority and not enough truth/love. Anyone in a place of spiritual authority who is offended by correction should not be there to start with. It's a pretty good litmus test and anyway what Jesus did wasn't done in a corner - was it?   jt     From: "David Miller" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Terry wrote: > > Izzy quoted the Bible.  She gave her opinion > > as to how that quote applied to a cult.  That > > is not ad hominem.  The moderator and the > > ex pastor are too easily offended by the truth. > > Well said, Terry.  I agree. > > I wonder if Izzy had said "hardened Christians" instead of "hardened > Mormons" if anyone here would have been offended.  I also have noted that no > Mormons here have registered any offense at Izzy's statement. > > Peace be with you. > David Miller. > > > ---------- > "Let your speech be always with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer every man."  (Colossians 4:6) http://www.InnGlory.org > > If you do not want to receive posts from this list, send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and you will be unsubscribed.  If you have a friend who wants to join, tell him to send an e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and he will be subscribed. > >     ---------- "Let your speech be always with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer every man."  (Colossians 4:6) http://www.InnGlory.org   If you do not want to receive posts from this list, send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and you will be unsubscribed.  If you have a friend who wants to join, tell him to send an e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and he will be subscribed.
