Ma'am, Max's lies about Bootstrap were not a way to disengage. They were a way to try to marginalize Bootstrap and turn my opinion against him. And it backfired.Valerie wrote: ↑Tue Mar 12, 2024 10:20 pmWhich is exactly why Max chose the foe option to disengage. And, my friend who invited me here long ago just quit. Those are options.RZehr wrote: ↑Tue Mar 12, 2024 10:17 pmIt takes two, to have a hot pursuit. Speaking of non-resistance. If you get tired of being hotly pursued or hotly pursuing, the solution is the same: just stop. It generally doesn’t take a signed armistice by both parties at all. All it takes is one side to quit, to shut up, and it is over. And that is something anyone can do at anytime.Valerie wrote: ↑Tue Mar 12, 2024 10:08 pm
Well maybe for his own good at times, he goes through phases of hammering- they should suggest that to some of us when we get our knickers in a knot & hotly pursuit another till they're plum worn out & exasperated Maybe if we can't see we need a break a mod can kindly suggest one for our own (& other's) good

Re: Practising Non-Resistance
No, I didn't bring it up and no, I just reminded justme that it wasn't long ago she put the "4" to the challenge of not posting. Good grief. If you misunderstood me I wonder if you misunderstood others. I merely responded to the fact that you revealed a personal message. If I revealed some I received it would be with ill intentions. I happen to see good in everyone here in one way or another, not blind to faults, and I have plenty just let it go.

Seriously, Valerie.
You're the person saying maybe Max wasn't lying when he made that claim. Either Max was lying or, somehow, a user regularly got suspended and justme didn't know anything about it. Do you really, honestly, think that justme wouldn't have known if someone like Bootstrap was regularly suspended?
Don't you care about the truth? Do you really, honestly, think that justme wouldn't have known if someone like Bootstrap was regularly suspended?

Over a decade Theosis left this forum before she went on to be with the Lord - she said it was "not good for her soul" to be here. May we all consider with that same consideration if this is good for our soul.

Re: Practising Non-Resistance
Yes, you are the one that brought up all these defenses for Max's lies, which is what I was referring to. And you did way more than simply respond to me "revealing a personal message." You accused me of character attacks, you came up with all this other stuff, and now you want to just try and sweep it all under the rug.Valerie wrote: ↑Tue Mar 12, 2024 11:07 pmNo, I didn't bring it up and no, I just reminded justme that it wasn't long ago she put the "4" to the challenge of not posting.

Don't you care about the truth? Do you really, honestly, think that justme wouldn't have known if someone like Bootstrap was regularly suspended? Or are you accusing justme of lying? Because Max's claim and justme's statement simply cannot both be true.

Re: Practising Non-Resistance
Amen; well said and in my opinion, answers Sudsy’s query succinctly. Your words are exemplary of Colossians 4:6Neto wrote: ↑Tue Mar 12, 2024 5:25 pm Yes, abusive language is violence. Counteracting false belief is not violence. (In fact, it is required by both the Law, and NT teaching, and is the kindest possible response. The OT Law teaches us that failure to warn will result in sharing in the responsibility for the punishment that will be received by the erring person. In the NT, it is considered one of the Christian 'graces' - that is, a part of responsible fellowship.) Verbal abuse is the most commonly form of violence 'practiced' by self-proclaimed 'Non-Resistants'. (Sticks and stones, and all of that rot.)
Aggressive driving is violence. (I condemn myself in this statement. But I am learning to urge and remind myself before going out on the highway to refrain from responding in kind to the aggression of other drivers, whether perceived, or real - to always "extend grace".)
Let your speech always be gracious, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how you ought to answer each person.
