LIfe sure is interesting: There are a number of people who believe that I am a dedicated supporter of 3-ABN and that I clearly do not support Bob, GAilon and AT. Yes, I post there and they toloerate it, just as I post here and you-all tolerate it.
You seek to convince me of the sins of Bob and Gailon when I have never advocated theire righteousness and as I said they consider me to be on the side of 3-ABN, as has formally been stated in a public post, I am said to have and kissed the ring. NOTE: While the reference was to my sopposed worship of 3-ABN, the picture intended was to compare me to those priest who kiss the ring of the Pope.
In general sterms I have never publicly attacked Danny and 3-ABN for their sins just as I have never publicly attacked Bob, Gailon and others for their sins. That has not been my mission in life. What I have said is that in my mind, both sides are guilty of the sins of which they accuse the other side. This conversation that has enthused in regard to Bob Pickle and whether or not he was a Jesuit is an example in my mind the 3-aBN Side doing exactly what they accuse the other side of doing. In my mind, both are wrong.
I Broke my silence on this issue because frankly I was dumbfounded by the discussion as to whether or nto Bob was a Jesuit. I did not expect that to come from the supporters of 3-ABN. In my mind, I had expected them to operate on an imperfect, but higher plane than to sink to this level. I was simply shocked. Well, life is interesting. People are human whomever they are. there are pele positng her who are willing to post on a level lower than I had expected from them.
I have been further surprised by the content of the posts that have been made in resposne to me. I expected that it would be conducted on the merits of the issue--whether or not it was factually truethat Bobwas a Jesuit. On that level, I did not expect to convince anyone and I did not expect that anyone would change my mind.
Rather than discuss on the merits of the issue, I was first charged with not understanding the Great Controversey Theme! Not an issue and not true. Then I ws approched with a discussion of the alleged sins of Bob and Gailon. That has no relationshlp to whether or nto Bob is a Jesuit. And, such is not a battle that I have taken up. While I have said that both sides have committed wrong, I have not attempted to point out individual sins of either side. I amy agree with our comments abut Bob and Gailon. I may not agree andI may agree in part. But, that is not my mission in life to trumpet the sins of people who are imperfect. God knows that honest people make mistakes (sin) and that is what the plan of salvation is all about.
Well,I guess I will continue as I have been: Calling it as I see it,and to the extent that I want to be public and therefore have both sides take me on as being wrong.
Well, as the Sabbath draws near, may the blessings of the Lord rest on all of you for imperfect people are the children of God
