Answer to the Iota Theta Eta Question....

[liveit07]

That is rediculous, noone asked for all of that, if you don'tlike what I have to say, ignore it completely.

Rozrochelle, have you read every post on GC? Wow you are amazing. How do you know that members on here have not openly expressed their faith?

[RozRochelle]

I simply said that I had not seen anyone besides me do it -- and at the time I wrote the post, it was true. I did not make a blanket statement and say that nobody had ever done it. Please re-read the post in question.

I did re-read it. You not only said that you had never seen anyone besides you do it, you said "If there are other believers here, they are afraid to take a righteous stand." That's a pretty blanket statement in my book.

[RozRochelle]

Taken out of context, which is what you have done, yes that quote does look incriminating. However, the comment was made based on me having not ever seen - and therefore not knowing - that there were other Christ-professing people on the boards. That was the context in which I was writing.

Now I do see that there are other Christ-confessing people on GC, and that's great. But as far as the "righteous stand" comment I made, now I raise this observation and question... You all (GC Christians) came out (and diverted the focus of this thread) to publicly take me to task for what I wrote, but how many of you have offered public support and encouragement to the original poster and her sorority?

Support for what?? What you want us to do? Invite them to Stomp Fest?

Those of us who are Christians are one in the Body of Christ, despite our different approaches, and we have a responsibility to support and uphold one another, especially when one of us comes under attack as ITE did. Whom among us believers - besides me and the OP's sorors - have come on here and offered ITE public support and encouragement in the face of the ridicule and mockery they have received?

But how many believers were quick to jump down my throat for what I said in my response to the OP -- yet ignoring the topic of the thread? Even an admitted non-believer has been more positive than ITE's fellow GC Christians. If I am wrong, show me, I will gladly admit it.

ITE doesn't have to get an invite to Stomp Fest (whatever that is, if it's even a real event), but some kind of encouragement from other Christians would be nice, and I'm sure appreciated. As a whole, I feel GC's Christians have left their sisters in Christ blowing in the wind. That is not the way of our Lord when it comes to His people.

My bad -- I assumed you actually meant exactly what you said.

There's a not a thread anywhere on GC where the focus doesn't get diverted. In any event, I said:

But I must admit, the posts here have not given me a very positive impression of this group. Sorry, but that's just the way it is.

I'm moving on now.
