I apologize to...

[Evanescence]

I made a post last night in the "marriage in markovia" thread and would like to address the forum, bridges and Prayerclothsis (Rhonie)

I saw the replies this morning and have all day to ponder it. It appears it was deleted, so here goes.

Its amazing how quickly the hypocrisy bug can creep up on just about anyone...even those who dispise it. Me.

You see, I inflicted my beliefs on Rhonie which is exactly what i despise about Christianity. Shoving your belief down someones throat. I should not have done that.

I have no excuse and humbly and honestly apologize to the forum, Bridges and Rhonie. I hope you will accept my apology.

I didnt realize ya'll were married but that wouldn't have made a difference in my reply last night. I asked a tough and challenging question/question to Rhonie not to be nosey, sarcastic or as a trick question, but for her and others to think about THEIR sins. Thats all. However, I offended her and her husband and apologize. It was not my intent to offend or poke but to challenge.

In closing let me say to Bridges and Rhonie that I like you guys and respect your opinions and beliefs on here. I follow peoples patterns very well and even though you guys are very conservative in your beliefs...I still respect ya'll and think you are both very wise and with good hearts and intentions.

Bridges, you and I went round and round in the Morality within Marriage thread and I felt you judged me for my questions and challenging viewpoints. I want you to know I am not the way you may think and don't want to be portrayed in that light at all. The gift of the pen is soemthing that i have and its a daily struggle to use it for GOOD not evil. But, offending people can happen easy and no matter what my intentions were, you guys didnt deserve that. So, again, I apologize to you, your wife and to the forum.

I hope you will understand m y intentions were not maliscious and accept my apology.

God bless,

E

I myself have done the same thing and I apologize as well. Sometimes in my hurried responses I come across without compassion and love. My mind buzzes with thoughts that may or may not have been posted. Also there are times when I have misunderstood points of view.

I truly accept your apology and ask you to do the same. I apologize for my pointedness as well. Please forgive me for any judgmental posts. It was never my intention to judge. Simply could not understand your point of view and the reason for some of your BOLD post.

I thank you for the apology, humbleness is a true Jesus trait that I wholeheartedly admire. I pray that I can also betray this trait as well. For I am not perfect and do have my faults and failures.

I thank God for his infinite wisdom, mercy that endures forever and his grace that is sufficent.

Hats off to you Sir...and Blessings

Respectfully

Rhonie

E, it is very possible that I have completely misunderstood you from the start; it would not be the first time.

I'll tell you what. I wrote a 115,000 word science fiction novel in the late eighties and early ninties (like, ten years' spare time and begged, borrowed, stolen time). My mother is a professional novelist; she writes one after another. Of all people, I suppose I should be able to recognize (or at the very least make allowances for the possibility of) artistic license/roleplaying, etc. It was mainly because of my raising, in particular because of my Dad's teachings against doing/saying certain things in front of ladies, that I reacted the way I did. Well, it takes all kinds, so I suppose my periodic injection of "BillBridgesism" adds something to the mix that we would all otherwise just have to do without (and whether we would be better or worse without it is debatable). Anyway, in my opinion, I'm something of a writer myself, maybe a bit less interesting than yourself, so I probably should be more understanding and tolerant toward you; and if you say something I just can't stand, and I can't say anything GOOD back, then I mostly need to say NOTHIN' AT ALL. That's what I'll try to do in those circumstances from now on, as long as you leave any speculations about me-n-sis out of your comments:D .

Forgive me for being grumpy last night. I should have been asleep.

God bless ALL!

Hi guys,

No problem. This stuff is suppose to be fun and educational....and that what i am all about. I was on a few hunting forums where favortism and other forms of dishonesty run rampant. I dont frequent there anymore.

I feel I was given the gift of the pen and need to use it for good.....and that hard with the old flessh tugging at your angel wings. But with the help of God I do well and will only do better as time goes on.

I ain't easy to understand but thats the way it is. I live to please God....and sometimes other people....lol...but not always....my opinions sometimes are way out there for some.....

Take care,

E

He's apologised - God knows his heart - good eh? I don't think it's fair to try to wind him up again :eek:
