Apologies to All Baptist Board Members

Saturn- If you think (I'm not sure I read you correctly) that you have offended me in any way, brother that is truly not the case.

*sigh* I suppose I should fess up to getting a bit hot under the collar and calling an individual, who shall remain nameless, a clown in need of a circus. I don't apologise for the sentiment, but rather voicing it in a public forum where those from outside can view it.

 

I understand (as I posted) a problem with the heart can bring on deep depression.

I didn't catch any post from you that I thought was uncalled for.

Your humble and thoughtful post was a blessing to me and reminds me that I should be careful, too.

 

Glad I misunderstood you.:thumbs:

For what it's worth, though you and I differ somewhat in the degree of our political persuasion, I appreciate that at the end of the thread brotherhood is not forgotten.

And about those two...oh never mind.:smilewinkgrin:

 

In My Case....

....you did not personally offend me. Never have, and I don't think you ever will.

As for your apology, I appreciate it, but let me say that it is coming from the wrong person. In the past, I have apologized for losing my temper, and only been spurned further, On top of that, the ones that offended me, and should also have apologized never offered one word of apology. :tear:

I have found that those [like you and me] who do apologize are the ones who know when God has convicted us. Unfortunately, there are many here who don't seem to have that same connection with the Holy Spirit, therefore, they let apologies like yours, fall like rain, off their backs, and they go right on doing what they do to make people like you and I upset.

I am working on my issues, but unless others are willing to do likewise, the problems on this board will simply continue.

I think highly of you for admitting what you admitted to, but in no way did you offend me. I am still more than blessed and honored to call you my brother.

 

Saturn, I don't know what remarks you're referring to, but if it bothers you then you did the right thing. I think you are a fine Christian man and I enjoy your posts and your wonderful sense of humor. You've made me laugh out loud many times!

 

I offer my fellowship to our brother. I have found his post offensive, and welcome his discussions.

I wish all could be so considerate of other opinions.

Cheers, and bless,

Jim

 

Very edifying and encouraging post, God Bless you!!!! :thumbs:

 

Saturn, no offense was taken so no apology is needed.

But i appreciate the example you set here, and I hope I can follow.

All is good :thumbsup:

Only thing I will add to this thread is this: It's about time, and what took you so long? The way you have posted on here since the bypass surgery, I thought they had bypassed it altogether....:laugh: j/k ya Brother!! :tonofbricks:

 

God bless you, SN. Your humility is remarkable. Like RD2, your posts did not offend me in the least. In fact, I feel the apology should be coming from those who goaded and provoked and caused hurt to others.

 

It takes a humble man to stand up and admit that he was wrong. May God bless you, brother. It was a blessing to me to see this posted.

Greater is He!! Amen.

 

Your posts have been those which come out of conviction but I never felt any were mean spirited though I certainly haven't read them all limiting myself to certain subjects.

I hope others will follow suit of your brotherly sensitivity.

Thanks SN for the fresh breeze through the BB.

SN, been there, done that!!
I did what you've done some 2-3 years ago on this board, and basically got the same responses you have (so far anyway), but there was that proverbial 10% that chided me for "speaking my mind" and then backing down.
For some unknown reason they could not distinguish between the tone/method of speaking vs. changing my stance.
Anyway, I know from experience that you now feel much better, so don't let the nay-sayers, if they surface, dampen your joy in asking forgiveness !!:thumbsup::thumbsup:
