There was a point a few months back when I decided it would be best if I just stopped responding to him, because it wasn't bringing out the best in me. I can't remember what he posted that made me stop doing that, but I think I need to again. Nothing good ever comes of it. In fact, I'm not sure he actually reads anyone else's posts; not really.

I understand people's natural inclination to try to reach out to him. There really are some caring people on this board. I just think in this particular case, it's no use. This horse will not drink the water.

I appreciate the thoughtfulness and kindness Ceeboo....

The thing is, the only reason I'm even here is to infact condemn the bigotry and lying of anti-mormons and liberals as they deserve, to in fact "expose" who they actually are, so if any of them are in fact actually good, they will eventually see their fruits and ideology for what it is.

Even if I didn't say a negative thing at all and just gave my views (most of which would be negative of their actions, views, and ideology's, but I would be "nice" about it lol) they would still treat me the same way, just like they treat SubGenius and Ajax. They don't really treat them any different than me. I'm just more active. They also don't even treat any other LDS any different, all the hate against Dan Peterson, Hamblin, whatever and whoever out there that actually "engages" anti-mormon and liberal thought and actions.

Ceeboo, the reason you're liked so much is you don't really ever say "anything" concerning the subjects being discussed.
In fact, you litteraly say so little that I don't even know your views at all on anything other than you like little "quips" and posting pictures. I saw you say you were a "believer" recently I guess it was an intro thread you made, but you litterly say nothing that I actually thought you were some other Christian believer just hanging out, not in fact LDS.

So, it's easy to be loved when you actually don't say anything give your views, and just hang out.
Even as perfect and loving as Jesus was, he was hated and misunderstood so much, that people murdered him still.
I'm fine that evil try's to have false views murder me the same on the internet..... it's who I am, I confront evil, I don't coddle it, shy from it, etc. I expose it for what it is.

Bottom line....

(Matthew 26:52). “Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword.” What kind of sword did Jesus come to bring?

Among the names of Jesus Christ is that of Prince of Peace. Such verses as Isaiah 9:6, Luke 2:14, and John 14:27 make it clear that Jesus came to bring peace, but that peace is between the man and God. Those who reject God and the only way of salvation through Jesus (John 14:6) will find themselves perpetually at war with God. But those who come to Him in repentance will find themselves at peace with God. Because of Christ’s sacrifice, we are restored to a relationship of peace with God (Romans 5:1).

Still, it is inevitable that there will be conflict between good and evil, the Christ and the antichrist, the light and the darkness, the children of God (believers) and the children of the devil (those who refuse Christ). Conflict must arise between the two groups, and this can and does happen within a family in which some are believers and others are not. We should seek to be at peace with all men but should never forget that Jesus warned we will be hated for His sake. Because those who reject Him hate Him, they will hate His followers as well (John 15:18). http://www.gotquestions.org/Jesus-sword.html

Anyway.... I also do what I do to become an expert in what my views are and what is truth and right, to push the limits of argument and thought, to be challenged in every way so I can master what is most true and right in intellectual thought and argument.
Sure..... I hate evil, bigotry, liars, and the evil men do to men (or women as several on this forum) so willingly, and it get's eventually tiring the degree of lying etc. they do against me, and so yes, of late I've been even more condeming, but it's okay, it's likely me going out with a bang before I start being actually productive in the world again.

So, I suspect I won't be wasting time here much longer, because that's another reason I have, is because of my health over the years, and that's finally starting to get fixed. Like I said, I should be doing things again, and wasting time with this crap has been an escape, not a desire.
Thus, I will be cooling a little, and getting more professional in not too long, but I won't be doing it here. Here is people just flexing their views, not any actual learning and understanding, goodwill etc. unless you don't confront etc. So, I'm not going to be putting down my sword ever..... it will be used differently and not hear before long, but I've always fought against evil and bully's, I've just been doing it online for a long time now. Early in my childhood, my first "fights" were against bully's, those who bullied others or tried to bully me. I didn't take crap then, and I don't take it now. It's my role and who I am in this world, to be between the light and darkness as an agent of the light. Everyone has their talents and roles, and this is part of mine.

I have no desire and need to be "friends" with people who live their lives to destroy good, light, and truth as liberals and anti-mormons do.
Again, it's the only reason I even post here, other than skill development, to expose them to themselves, what they actually create.... What they see in me is a reflection of who they are and what they do and say. I'm their mirror, just on the side of good.

Take care Ceeboo....

Ldsfaqs seems not to grasp the fact that the internet is forever, and the lies he has been caught in and the disgusting things he has said here, ad nauseam, will follow him everywhere.

Also, Ceeboo, no good deed goes unpunished, hey?

No problem.
I appreciate the manner in which you have chosen to receive the thread! :smile:

Okay. I wasn't sure that this was your only reason for being here.

In fact, you litteraly say so little that I don't even know your views at all on anything other than you like little "quips" and posting pictures.


Well - if you ever want to know any of my views - other than my fondness of little quips and pictures - you should consider asking me. I promise you that I will answer you.

I saw you say you were a "believer" recently I guess it was an intro thread you made, but you litterly say nothing that I actually thought you were some other Christian believer just hanging out, not in fact LDS.


For clarity - I am a never-Mormon.

my health over the years, and that's finally starting to get fixed.


That's great to hear!

Take care Ceeboo....


You too, faqs!

Due to your reply to my OP (Since it does have your name in the title and was about you) if you would like me to delete it - just say the word and it will be done.

Peace, faqs!

Ceeboo, the reason you are liked on this board is not that you say nothing. You are a good soul, and your posts often remind us of the goodness in people and of the goodness that we aspire to. Please keep it up.

FAQs, Jesus was pretty clear about the whole sword thing. Jesus gets a sword. You are not Jesus. You have to put your sword down, love your enemy, and turn the other cheek.
