What happened here? I did not line-out anything and it does not appear
that anyone else did. Advice?

Linda -- you are kidding, of course !!!??? Let's just say that you and
I completely agree of the term "lost." And kevin even agrees. Your
question below implies a blatant uncaring about those of the "lost" that
did not respond to the Message. Our preaching of the Gospel should never
offer those who reject that message good reason to walk away. Those ,
whether SP or evangelist - who belittle and humiliate and make fun --
are giving reasons OTHER THAN THE HEARING OF THE "TRUTH" TO WALK AWAY. I
have proven, beyond any shadow of doubt, perhaps to a scientific certainty
*whatever that is) that people who are belittled and insulted will close
their minds to any other consideration. It may not be their only reasoning
for rejection -- but their bias will most definitely be effected by such
negativism. When did I do this? RIGHT HERE IN GOTHAM CITY, folks !!!!
Being the converted red-neck that I am, I watched for months while my
"liberal" friends -- people who were actually giving me something to think
and pray
about -- while my "liberal friends" here on TT were insulted and
humiliated and judged with nearly every post form some -- you know, back
in the glory days when we did such things on TrashTalk USA. And I
thought to myself -- what is Lance's, Deb's, Bill's problem. As a
red-neck - an educated Okie - pos sessed the best of both worlds
-----the ability to understand and be excited about conceptual
considerations AND the creativity, sarcasm and fight of an everyday run of
the mill Okie, I saw no point in "accepting" those insults and judgments.
The "peace thing," like you and kevin, I have a hard time with that --
a "liberal cornerstone." In my old nature, fighting regardless of the
forum is kinda fun. Me and Easu, the bean eater, would have probably been
pals...... I would not have liked Samson, except for his luggage, of
course. David the King -- would have been one of my heros as well.
Anyway - so this self described Okie decided to join the fray. "I can
do sa rcasm -- kevin and linda just think they
can." Such was my attitude and decision. But it became the central theme
of nearly everything I wrote. And the fun of it all slipped away.....
"growth" is to blame, I hope. Anyway, there are many things that separate
kev, you, Judy, DaM - and myself, I do not need to supply you all with
additional good reason to walk away BUT I DID THIS VERY THING. I have
angered all of you simply because of my decision to fight back -- not to
sit around and watch as you guys had all the fun. To what avail? Who
knows -- maybe to give you answer today. You know how it feels, linda -
to be ojn the short end of the stick. ..... and you do not like it one
little bit. Ditto for all those "we" give reason to walk away. PROOF
BEYOND A REASONABLE DOUBT that the popular response is to be angered and
walk way form meaningful discussion.
Tha's my short answer.

JD, could you please provide scientific statistical evidence of your
statement below? It seems to me that those who are ?driven away? are
already lost. Izzy

What I do know, kevin, is that hundreds more are driven away than are
brought to the Lord with the "lets go scream at total strangers"
evangelism. If that is not what you do, do not take it personally.

And hundreds are driven further away
So you the self appointed authority on evangelism says.
What are they driven away to? Hell number 2?

Aside from the ad hominem mischaracterization of "another man's undies,"
aren't you forgeting about the people who converted to Christ because of
it? If just one person is awaken from their stupor of a false religion,
how could that be a "waste of time"?
Peace be with you.
