Ownership of threads, decent Christian obedience principles

[paula_hansen]

As some of you may know, there has been a considerable degree of outright disobedience and almost gleeful abandonment of decency principles on this board.

Please do NOT reply to this message which I have started and therefor own.

Your cooperation will prove to the rebels that they should conform to society's norms and not usher rebellion.

sorry Paula , no dictators are allowed on this forum.

One may make requests, urge cooperation or steer in certain directions but dictating has never worked and never will. It is human nature to rebel against a tyrant. For me the most pertinent rebellion is against the tyrant within.
It is also human nature to take divergent roads simply to see where they may lead. Exploration is fundamental to our nature; is it not?

a shameless rebel,

Oooooooooo..........I loooooooove your puns, Paula! The ushers I always prayed for were the ones who would seat me next to the true and humble Christian, whose actions always spoke louder than their words, and their beliefs of sharing were manifested in their behaviours. I'm soooooo sorry to see that you don't count yourself amongst them. Or, if you do, the wrath shall be visited upon you for the greatest of all sins, hypocrisy.

Loooooooving youuuuuuuu,
Lizzytysh

No dictators - I agree, margaret.

I always prayed for all members of the House Of Usher - but that was before the Fall, or was it the Winter of their discontent?

Spare us the rod (or Rod?), Paula H., never count the splinters before the logs...

As I remember Ushers was a pleasant tasting Bitter, not amongst my favourite tipples but not a bad pint.

JTS (I think they also did a Dark Mild but I never liked Dark, except for Brains, Dark that is before anyone says anything )

I'm sorry. I can't keep abreast of all this. My Brain Hurts, or was that because I'm a poor lost Alien in this veil of sequestry. When dictators dictate diktats to disfunctional devotees of the delightfully diverse discourses of our deep voiced demigod, decisions deserving of diametrically disposed dialectic didacticism must not be treated lightly. The contemporary human product of the old Diaspora is an earthly representation for which we dispersents must owe our gratitude to, in any way we see fit. I doubt that I could have put our case any clearer. Or my names not 'Thomas', and I do have some Dutch nephews.
