Not many people have the nerve to be that bold with their opinions. Furthermore, I just had this same discussion at a church conference a couple of weeks ago. I was sick of faking like the hot Christian and decided to work towards actually being one, which is why I decided to quit smoking at the aformentioned conference (not in the Bible directly, but still not a good habit for my temple). So I was onboard, I agreed with 99% of the stuff said. Well, maybe 98.5%. Somewhere in there. I was really about to co-sign till the rest of the thread came through. And after 4 pages of this I only have 2 things to attest to:
1) I kinda fell off the wagon after reading the subsequent posts by the thread starter. I was with her in the beginning but bits of contradiction and unhealthy spirits started to slip into the messages. Plus, it's never wise to jump on a message you're not 100% with, so I'm sorry Thelma, but this is one Louise who is gettin' out the car.
2) I want to thank everybody here for giving me a good laugh. Now it wasn't nice to be clownin' this girl left and right, SHE DID NOT DESERVE A LOT OF THE DISRESPECT SHE GOT. But (excuse me Lord) I have been cracking up for a good 10 minutes and I needed that. Shoot, my dog just died, I needed that laugh now more than I have all summer. Plus, I'm listening to the Trapped in the Closet 1-12, so I only read what I could between falling on the floor over the midget in the cabinet, so forgive me if I missed the finer details of the thread.

Christiangirl, I applaud you for becoming a Christian!! The Lord accepts ALL that turn their lives over to him. I will pray that you can stay off the "heathen path" and continue to discover your way with the Lord.
With that said, I must tell you that you should take everything that you hear from people attempting to minister to you with a grain of salt. The reason that unknown2u is being "clowned" (as you say) is because this thread has been brought up before AND people have previously stated their opinions to her. True, everyone is welcome to their opinion and welcome to participate in discussion, but there are limitations. From what I see, there are several DOUBLE STANDARDS.
Ask yourself: Why hasn't unknown2u taken this show on the road to condemn the NPC/IFC/NIC groups about being Greek? Why are NPHC groups being targeted for being Greek and hazing? Why hasn't the message of premarital sex, divorce and all other ungodly things been spread across the masses? If you are TRULY attempting to minister, do you only minister to some people? Are their souls "more saved" than ours? Things that make you go hmmm......
Don't fall victim to people who attempt to force their beliefs on you. Life is a learning experience.
