Streams of Consciousness & Thoughts~~~

[iTOREtheSKY]

I know you don't think I'm like that Jen...you know me well enough to realize that. Unfortunately there are people here that think I am out to "steal" their prospective mates...because god forbid someone laughs at one of my posts or "likes" it..or I say something "nice" to them in a thread. This suddenly means I want to "hook up" or am "looking".

Sometimes the funny thing about the whole difference of the sexes thing..yanno..how men & women differ on how they see stuff..relate,etc... Sometimes the most ridiculous,jealous,crabby people are within your own gender. True Story!

I'll share with you all a story. About how after a roughly 2 month hiatus I come back to CC & within a day I get a PM from someone I considered a friend. I respected them,etc...
Come to find out this person tells me (and I am kinda glad they did) that they were sort of relieved when I left CC briefly because it turns out that they were jealous of me because in their eyes I was receiving an over abundance of "attention" from the opposite sex. They admitted that they knew it was from their own insecurities,etc...

I was a little shocked,because I never would have thought this person would think that...seeing as how to me,they seemed easily as "popular" & well respected,maybe even more so than myself.
It was all good though..I tried to reassure this member that I indeed did not feel nor realized that I was taking the "spotlight" from him or any other male here & that Not one single woman in CC was interested in me in such a way that would even be considered as a possible future Mrs. iTORE.

I found myself apologizing. For what? I dunno...causing him to stumble???? It didn't matter. I did.
Funny though how not once in his "admission" of jealousy or irritation concerning me,did he even say he was sorry.
That's fine...I was cool with it. I was even happy when he shared with me that he was really interested & talking with a girl on here. Jokingly I said to him :"Well tell me who she is so I don't talk to her in a thread & she ends up liking me or something"...no response.

Now...said person...likes another girl...and I am apparently in his "terrible" people list.

So maybe the best thing is for all of the women of CC,just stop "liking" my posts...and stop responding to anything I say in threads...because this person may or may not be in "like" with you this week...and I don't want to be accused of trying to snatch up all the women here for myself.

Yeah...because I am so desired by so many.

Should we worry about what others think of us or what He thinks of us?

The answer is CLEAR !!!

WHAT THE OTHER PERSON THINKS !!

Not.

God. God. God. What does He think of us God even says, through the erudite words of Paul in 1 Cor. 2, 'we have the mind of Christ.'

We humans have His mind in us. We don't know what God thinks but we can relate to Him wholly through Jesus, who was 'The Christ' on Earth

Really? Wow, the things that go on behind the scenes on CC

 

[Fenner]

I'm going to keep liking them because I'm married. Plus this isn't a dating site. But I am happy for the singles who have met here and have relationships, marriage. I am just happy I've made some friends here.

I'm going to say whom ever this person is, I hope they can stop being jealous of attention you receive or anyone else for that matter. I pray that they can become more secure in themselves.

 

[iTOREtheSKY]

..and you are right Green..100% I shouldn't care. The problem lies with them not me. I apologize to everyone for having a "moment". It just pains me to think that within the body of Christ there is such petty,worldly nonsense that seems to be so pervasive. Hypocrisy. That's what drives me nuts. If you are dealing with lust,or jealousy,or anger,or fear..whatever it is...
MAN UP. DEAL with it. and just let God be God...let your brothers & sisters in Christ pray for you..whatever...but don't "play church".

I do not hate this person at all. I react this way because in fact I do love him. I am just at my end of thinking everything is "ok" but yet in his heart he truly doesn't like me. That's fine. Like I said...I wash my hands of it...pray for him. He answers to God in the end for his actions...not to me.

 

[Fenner]

Well, here is my advice to whoever, if you can't handle something or someone, use the ignore button and give the other person a break.

 

[Tintin]

Jim, that's terrible! Best to just ignore people who are that silly and immature. You're a good, godly man. You know it, we know it.

 

[GreenNnice]

arwe--, I mean, pickynicky's gonna bombard me with hate mail if I don't stream a little more , but, yeah, itoreHis, it's not anything that should be upsetting, those kinds of folks are 'opportunities,' they are reasons why we live on Earth, to one day die and be with Him .

It don't happenn every day, but, when that kind of challenge is presented of another's jealousy, it is where God can work and it's where the Enemy IS working, too, perhaps. 'Jealousy' is one of the 7 deadly sins, so, yeah, that feeling is something Satan will run with, IF you brood and breed that feeling of uneasiness inside you.

And, so you know, just from one human being to another , well, from one human to alien (sorry, I'm green ) , bro, your words speak/exude maturity in having put the situation past you, just so remember, too, to speak to that person in love, which is what Jesus would do and pretty sure your words in your venting post or two say that too

TY my brother...you are always wonderful!

 

[Ugly]

My mail to itore.
"Well well, look at the romantic avatar. Is there something you aren't telling us? Or that you told and i missed?"
Sarcastic? Not my intention. Perhaps it sounded that way, but when i approached him it was under the impression things were good between us.
Apparently i did do something that he didn't like. It wasn't my intention as you will find out next.

His reply to my email.
"You don't like it? I thought you'd be all about love & happiness.
What would you like me to tell you? Who is "us"?

So,now that that's out of the way,would you like to talk to me about why you "un-friended" me,or do you wanna keep acting like a child towards me?

The ball is in your court,my good man."

So my response was this.
"Well, that was kind of the question. If there was an 'us'. Err... as in you and someone else, not you and me.

Acting like a child toward you? And by that you mean leveling accusations and insults in the form of a question? If you really wanted to know you could've just simply asked at any time, and done so without being insulting.

The reality is i did it during a bit of a breakdown i had where i removed a lot of people. I don't even know who i removed. Honestly i don't even remember picking you to remove. Maybe i selected your name on accident. I was pretty out of it at that moment. It was a horrible day.
So, now that you know my intention wasn't childish at all, unlike the unfair accusation you put on me, i suppose the ball goes back to you."

The next thing to happen, a personal response? Nope. He comes to this thread with this rant, After i explained myself and his misunderstanding my intent.
"ATTENTION CCer's...just to avoid any confusion or insane assumptions or gossip...my avatar is indeed "romantic" in nature.
Yes I do in fact realize this is not a dating site...but in light of the wonderful news concerning Descyple & Azure...I felt "inspired"...I am happy for them. Yes,I enjoy people that come together that love one another & seem like they could possibly share an amazing life together. Ok,Ok...yes..this evil black-hearted jerk,himself one day longs for what they share...sue me! In God's time...or not...whatever.

I had to address this openly,because I was PM'd concerning my avatar by someone who seems to stand on some ridiculous high moral ground of judging everyone and never themselves being honest with themselves or others about their true motives.
So to them,and anyone else who feels as though they have the inside track on my heart..my life..my loves..my hates..or my walk with God...plz indeed feel free to ask me point blank. Don't "un-friend" me,then ignore me...and then PM me with questions that drip with sarcasm. I don't see how that is Christ-like in any form or fashion. Then again...I'm no scholar,what do I know.

(sorry pers...for messin' up yer' thread)"

My response? Another PM (as in going straight to him to work things out).
"What are you even talking about? I just saw your post. I asked about your avatar to see if you were in a relationship, out of curiosity. I wasn't judging. I was actually going to be happy if it were true. What do you suddenly have so against me?
I, as a friend, ask you a simple question in the possibility something good was going on for you so i could be happy for you and you make some huge issue out of it.
You get upset over the friend thing without even knowing the reason. And when i give you a legit reason you still make a huge isue.
So, really, since all i did was ask a sincere question of you as a friend, and make a mistake about unfriending you, that i didn't even realize happened, what else have i done to piss you off? Because your reaction is way overboard."

And his response to my Private message, to talk to me and work it out in private? Nope. Another public rant where he twists things and ignores my PMs and makes a public issue.
"I know you don't think I'm like that Jen...you know me well enough to realize that. Unfortunately there are people here that think I am out to "steal" their prospective mates...because god forbid someone laughs at one of my posts or "likes" it..or I say something "nice" to them in a thread. This suddenly means I want to "hook up" or am "looking".

*drops the mic & walks off*"

I would be more than happy to have PMed with him yet still, to work things out. Since he seems to be having yet more misunderstandings. But, why try? He's already ignored two efforts to resolve it in private. He wants to make it public, lets put it all out there.
Keep in mind, i have responses to this last bit, i just did not bother at this point.
But, i Never had him on a 'terrible' list. I've always liked Jim and thought well of him. And as far as the 'jealousy' issue, guess what? It goes both ways. I've had women tell me the same thing about some of the other women in here. I've also had women comment that they see this on both sides of the gender.
I never thought he was going to 'steal' anyone. Don't know where he even got that idea.
Keep in mind, this all started because i thought maybe he had met someone and was asking so i could be happy for this person i thought was a friend. Who decided to make a public issue out of things i tried to resolve in private.

And now i see this.
"The problem lies with them not me. I apologize to everyone for having a "moment". It just pains me to think that within the body of Christ there is such petty,worldly nonsense that seems to be so pervasive. Hypocrisy. That's what drives me nuts. If you are dealing with lust,or jealousy,or anger,or fear..whatever it is...

Like I said...I wash my hands of it...pray for him. He answers to God in the end for his actions...not to me."
Does 'man up' mean 'ignore the explanations, the attempts to make amends and go on public rants'?
Were my responses to clear up what he misunderstood 'petty, worldly nonsense'? Or was it more petty to ignore my attempts and make a huge spectacle?
I "truly don't like him"? That's why i approached him in the chance that there would be something to celebrate with him? I don't like him so i made attempts to fix things in private, instead of trashing him in public? To exaggerate and rant? Hypocrisy? Hmm...
If anyone can show me and explain to me where i went wrong, and that he is totally justified in his rants and anger, show me. I will apologize right in this thread to him and everyone else.

 

[adekruif]

Really? Wow, the things that go on behind the scenes on CC

I know right? I just read allot of posts, occasionally post something funny, and on rare occasions start a new thread....basically non-existent. haha

 

[GreenNnice]

sigh. i didn't think anything of who itoreHis spoke of, ugly. and, it's something that we all deal with, we have moments. I have mine, you have yours. We all have ours. That's the Lord's way He's made us, baked into our being; what were to do is use the gifts God's cooked up/given us, so to speak, to bring others, many others, to Him.

You do that in your way and itoreHIs does things in His way. Both good ways, bro.


anyway, I'm going to sleep, i'm tired, been playing backgammon and chess lately.
I won my college's chess tournament many moons ago, played all through high school before that. And, now? I go online and play and get my butt whooped by folks. The Lord leads. I like chess, I've been away from it so long that my brain's left it's meaning from my life, just no 'Monty Python' to it, LOL, get it 'Monty Python's: The Meaning of---never mind

God bless and goooood night

 

[Ugly]

And honestly, i'm not trying to make Jim look bad. Or make myself look good. I am genuinely looking to see if i was wrong. That is the main basis for that post.

 

[GreenNnice]

anyhoo, my 5 minutes were up and i wuz gonna edit this in: you guys are complementary to each other on c.c.; don't let some little something be big. And, honestly, I don't see anything ugly said that was really jealousy and I wish I'd not used that word now, I think, it's great when one guy can honestly say something to another guy , like ugly did. And, I think, if you really read into itoreHis words, he's saying that he's glad that those words were said. I just hope, pray, that postiive meaning comes out of what I'm saying here as He leads me, I hope, pray, and, that you guys see God working to deepen your twos' relationship on c.c.. Not a bromance or anything, , but, yeah, just brother sharpening brother.

 

[Jesus_lover_of_my_soul]

It is a crazy world, but in the end we will all be the same; if we believe in Jesus.

1 John 3:2-3 Beloved, now we are to be sons of God, and it does not yet appear what we will be, but we know that when He is revealed, we will be like him, for we will see him as he is.

 

[persNickety]

Not getting involved in all this, or take sides. But both parties should be heard, so I am glad that ugly posted as it was public already. I do want to say that I hope things are able to be mended if possible; and misunderstandments clarified.

 

[iTOREtheSKY]

LOL..wow. Ugly,dude...first off. What prompted you to even make such a post? I never once mentioned your name.

I do in fact have all of our discussions from when I returned to CC...I would never post them here due to obvious reasons.

None of it matters now. You know the truth. I know the truth. and the people you've said crap to me about because of your own jealousy know the truth. I am certainly not going to turn pers thread into a battleground of he said / he said.

Take it for what you will. I'm tired of all the fakeness.

 

[persNickety]

Women. Causing conflict between men from the beginning of time. I think this is what the Women Are Evil thread was getting at...


lighten the mood? :/

tee...hee...?

I tried to resolve this privately, but you refused to acknowledge me. So i'm simply asking if i did anything wrong in the conversation between you and i.
