Well, It's Been Fun

Quantunfaith had no business doing that. It certainly was not their place and it was unChristian behavior. I am sorry that happened to you.

 

Aw, what a shame. Especially with such a cute avatar. Good luck!

 

Penny, you stated your church is Southern Baptist and yet believes in speaking in tongues. Interestingly, your church's website says nothing to give credibility for this. In fact, it appears to be a typical Southern Baptist church.

You also seem to have plenty of knowledge of doctrine for someone recently saved who comes from an unsaved, non-churched background. As a mother and former teacher, I have never, ever seen writing like yours from ANY middle-grade students, even from the "gifted" ones from very spiritually mature homes. Your manner in posting comes across as a middle aged man with some knowledge of the Bible, not a newly-converted young girl seeking friends.

I sincerely hope you are what you claim, but there are some very sick, twisted people who have trolled here in the past. We weren't born yesterday. When several long-time posters see the same red flags, we've learned to trust our instincts concerning troublemakers.

If you're for real, I'll gladly call the church you claim to attend and ask them so. But know this. Baptist Board is here for edification, debate, and fellowship between Baptist brothers and sisters in Christ. We do not take imposters and liars lightly.

 

Other than participation in threads or forums that are sexual in nature, I really cannot see what the issue would be with you being 13 or 130.

If you want to say you're 13 but are actually older, how does that affect someone else's posts unless people are speaking TO or ABOUT you instead of commenting about what you say?

 

Put me down as a skeptic that the poster A Penny, Saved is 13 years old. I'm the father of two boys, both straight A students. One is 16 yrs. old, the other is 13 yrs. old. Both are voracious readers and gifted writers. I'm well acquainted with the writing style of 13 yr. olds and Penny's style and tone strikes me as being too mature. One statement she made about wanting to go to church, but would be difficult "because I'm only 13 years old and won't have my drivers license for 3 more years" does not sound like something a 13 year old would say. Also Penny seems to make it a point to say she's "only 13" or "I'm 13 years old" way too readily.

I'm not going to go so far as saying it's impossible for this poster to be 13, but I highly doubt it.

 

I think we all had our suspicion but while this person may have not correctly represented themselves at the same time they did nothing to mistreat anyone which is more than can be said by others. Calling her a liar was not helpful and is over the top.

 

I saw through this the moment 'she' joined. If quaaff hit her with an email, good for him -- sort of, I mean at least he called her on it, but as a man, I don't see it wise to ever write to a minor of either gender. I'm also not certain of the limitations on BB and allowing minors to post here.

IMO she mentioned her age, gender and grade too often, and for a 'new' believer she gave up way too much info in her posts, wrote rather prolifically and showed more experience than a new believer. I saw it all as an affront and a defensive/offensive mechanism in order to (perhaps) unleash on others later.

Perhaps she should regroup and come up with a new moniker and make a new entrance. :thumbs:

I also found it quite imprudent for one to even SUGGEST a preacher on here (who is allegedly close to her in proximity) could help her (an alleged 13 yr. old female) via PM. That would one of the dumbest moves ever to do so.

:type:

 

EXIT....stage right. :smilewinkgrin:

 

Well, at least we can pray for her/him/etc. Perhaps, after all, in His providence, this was why she/he/etc. appeared in our midst?

 

Hey, there's some smart kids out there. My daughter is 14 years old and made the Honor Roll with Distinction each quarter last year. That means you maintained a 94+ average in every subject. She was the only student in her school to make these highest honors each report period.

She, along with about 20 other kids in our local district were chosen to actually write for our local newspaper.

My daughter wrote at least 3 articles for this paper, took many of the photos used, and helped in the design and layout. She is the girl on the left.

So, there are some smart kids out there, unfortunately Penny got ridiculed for being a "smart girl". That is a big NO-NO.

 

I just went through and read many of her posts (but not all) and yes, she sounds way too experienced for a young person who just came to know Christ. She does have an astounding knowledge of many issues that new Christians rarely have, especially young persons.

I don't know why someone would want to pretend they are such a young person, but who knows?

 

APS may be a 53 year old balding guy with a raspy voice.

 

.....complete the innuendo please; and perhaps a thing for dressing in womens clothing.

 

No innuendo is necessary. Just take it a face-value.
