Jt:Please read my post to David on that which is 'personal'.IMO, you once again MTP. True faith is PERSONAL, is it not? True 'engagement' with one another is PERSONAL, is it not? By the by, JESUS IS A PERSON, NOT A DETACHED IDEA' When speaking of/to the 'fabulous four', it is yourself and David who speak in a detached and impersonal way. This is not true of Izzy and Terry. ----- Original Message ----- From: Judy Taylor To: TruthTalk@mail.innglory.org Cc: TruthTalk@mail.innglory.org Sent: February 07, 2005 06:49 Subject: Re: [TruthTalk] Basis of Unity Lance, I see you making enquiries about what constitutes an ad hominem remark, apparently you can't distinguish because you continue in it yourself and this is a perfect example   "When it comes to you" personalizes this remark it so that you are no longer dealing with ideas or issues - you are taking a swipe at my person - Also you never speak for yourself - you claim to represent the opinion of "most"  which IMO is a gross exaggeration.   So, of what value is this communication, it does nothing other than try to tear down. jt   On Mon, 7 Feb 2005 06:03:49 -0500 "Lance Muir" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: Jt: BECAUSE 'through' is the operative word in your post. IMO, most have found this to be impossible when it comes to you.

They get into some kind of an every day conflict - she wants to talk it through and he puts up a wall. So they are in a stalemate with no resolution in sight.  What is so threatening about talking things through??    Just wondering.... judyt
