[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma, Calibri, Geneva, sans-serif]I appeal to you, brothers, to watch out for those who cause divisions and create obstacles contrary to the doctrine that you have been taught; avoid them. For such persons do not serve our Lord Christ, but their own appetites, and by smooth talk and flattery they deceive the hearts of the naive.[/FONT]

TinTin...you are so sweet. My issue really was my own fault. After leaving my job for awhile I secluded myself from society. I thought I was doing myself a good thing. But I was only falling into a depression...and reading arguments in these forums was only making my heart break worse. Some people may disagree. But I do not think that you can be happy on cyber friendships alone. I thought that if I withdrew from the outside world for awhile...and just spent time with God and family I would be happy.
I found myself more depressed in the end.
Last night when I attended a wedding. It had been the first social event I had attended with friends for a long time.
I got soooo many hugs last night. Hugs and love and physical affection. I realized. I miss simply being hugged and loved on. Lol...I know it sounds silly. But when you do withdrawl from physical people. You realize..."Hey I remember these...they are called hugs from people who miss me lately lol..oh yea I like hugs lol" But seriously Id love to find love...Im not going to find happiness secluded from people. I chose the wrong path. Made a wrong decision. But its not too late to change. For anyone. Long as we have a breath inside us. There is always hope for true love...if it is meant for you

Before you all leave, give it a while. I will be leaving (as soon as i figure out who the admins are) and it seems im not helping with the problem, especially considering it seems things went bad pretty soon after i showed up (may be my depression talking, odd how narcissistic my depression can make me sound.)
you all have a great friendship/fellowship here and that shouldn't be damaged by those who divide. You should definitely share skypes or kiks or etc.
finally, im sorry if ive been part of dividing you guys.
Who are the admins?

I have taken breaks from this site and the longest was about nine months. I ended up coming back late December of last year and was blessed with many friendships that I cherish with all my heart, two of them I talk to everyday. I was planning on taking a break from this site just a few days ago and was going through the sorted process of cleaning out my closet. While doing so God really spoke to my heart and was able to reflect on so many things that are going on. I may not know or understand all of what I am going through, but God does and I have received prophetic words that he is getting ready to unleash something Awesome. But through those days off, God enabled me to trust him with my dreams and future because the hardest thing to do is to let go and allow him to have full control.

CeileDe and KennethCadwell left.. I'm not surprised about Kenneth. He was ALWAYS getting attacked on here..
I've read where the newbies are the problem.
I'm a newbie.
If I'm anybody's problem, then either let me know publicly or privately and I'll listen to what you have to say or you could just put me on ignore. I'd certainly never want to be the reason or part of the reason why anybody left this place. I just finished telling somebody in a private conversation that I'm considering only posting here part time on the weekends. I used the term weekend warrior because a lot of people here seem to be itching and looking for a fight and one had better not log on without his or her armor on. I'm really not the combative type. I've raised some scriptures that I hoped might serve as a mirror for all of us, including me, but that hasn't gone over too well.
I'm dropping out of this thread in case I'm part of the problem in some peoples' minds.
For those who are leaving altogether, I wish you the best.
It's not the newbies that cause the problems in the BAF.. it's the die-hards who have to argue a point to death about why their right and the rest of us are wrong.. if anything, this forum causes newbies to leave after a few days and it shouldn't be that way.. the donkeys in the rest of the forum are just self-righteous and holier than thou in their own minds..
Hello Sky, glad you had a great time at wedding. Yea, sometimes we have to get back out in public,
again. The only place I go these days, are to church. The contact that I have there is good , I try to
not involve myself in bdf, when I try, the Holy Spirit leads me away .
I'm like all of you, we should not be treating each other that way . I have offten thought, if some of them
would lose their life today, where would they be . It would cause me great concerne ,to be doing what they
are doing.

1still_waters and Oncefallen.. and RoboOp.. but he's rarely here..
that atmosphere, it's not really changed since i've been here -- it's not noobs and it's not worse, it's just some different names and some different people who get discouraged or offended.
it's also part of what makes this a vibrant place of discussion - if everyone agreed 100% there wouldn't be much going on in the BDF, just a lot of "thumbs up!" -- i think that's why the mods let that work itself out. it's a refining process, and the truth makes itself plain, even if some people try to shout it down.
what has changed is threads like this one have appeared in the BDF - where we are having some genuine fellowship.
i love that
see? God hasn't forsaken us in all that arguing and puffing. He's a haven in the storm, and our Rescue & Help.
"fret not thyself" my dear sisters & dear brothers - let them throw words; we have a Strong Tower and peace within it's walls.
