Am I the only one who feels the need to brush up on disfellowshipping? Even spell check didn't contain that word.

What is "gaslighting"? (I'm too lazy to google.)
ResidentAlien actually gave an excellent definition in a post on this or another thread. But like you I'm to lazy to look.

The way he sees the Lakewood fellowship makes sense. The way Osteen is presenting, I repeat my previous comment, is likely fodder for secular comedians and Osteen may not even be aware of that denigration that secularists perpetuate by the study they do of any and all possible materials which ensures their livelihoods.

The textbook definition of gaslighting is: To manipulate someone such that they doubt their own memory, perceptions of reality, or sanity, typically for malevolent reasons.
I quoted this from the other thread.

Because i can relate to being lazy sometimes

Oyster67 I think your surprise button is stuck. This is particularly alarming to me as I'm trying to win the get the most funny emoji award and you are wreaking havoc on my emoji board.

Thanks. I wasn't so much struggling with the meaning but its practice. But I was glad for the opportunity to give you an informative emoji on the off chance you are going for the informative emoji award.
I'm jesting. I truly do appreciate whenever someone shows me a kindness.

Okay. But in the interest of full disclosure, I like the Apostles follow Jesus example of doodling so it may take awhile.
When you say doodling, are you referring to John 8 where Jesus doodled in the dirt while calling out hypocrites for being hypocrites? Now that’s some cool doodling. 😊

For when you do return to read this. The practice is really to first inform the person and then stop communicating and participating with them. On this forum, it just means ya dont read or respond to their posts. In life it can be more complicated. Especially if there are family ties or other friend associations.

Again thankful for the information. But wouldn't it just be better to forgive or not take offense in the first place.
