Farewell

I remember back when I first came to the BB, a man told me I needed to get back in the kitchen and make cookies! :laugh:

He didn't think women should be giving their opinions. He was banned that week.

 

I think women making cookies is a good thing. I like cookies!!!!

 

I have an iron skillet that can fix attitudes like that!

 

Old Union Brother, you gotta be a little more thick skinned than that. I have been called a liar, a heretic, a Pelagian, my salvation has been questioned many times.

The Pharisees and other religious leaders accused Jesus (and the prophets and apostles) of sin regularly. If you speak the truth you can expect this type of treatment.

They never backed down and neither should you. I hope you will continue to post.

 

Why don't we both eat some cookies before we post, we would probably be in a better mood and not so irritable. Of course, being a diabetic, promise me you won't tell my wife.

 

I'm gonna whack you with my rollin' pin, Salty! Well, as soon as I eat the sugar cookie dough that's sticking to it. . .

 

I make an awesome sugar free apple pie. Will that do?

 

Now your talking Amy ..... Then we can fight & rip each other up about whether we liked the pie.....it will never end, so just laugh it off. I think liar gets you to 1st base around here.

 

Brother, I truly wish you would not leave us on account of this. I believe the short time you've been on board folks have grown to like and respect you. Maybe you're making too much of this? No one here actually considers you to be a liar. But I myself do not believe in the least of the validity of 'The Trail of Blood'. It is indeed fiction. Learn from it and move on. Your leaving is NOT going to be beneficial either to you or to us that remain here on the BB. Please reconsider.

 

Hope you reconsider, I have enjoyed reading your posts :thumbsup:

 

I hope you reconsider too. Sometimes things are written that might not be said in person. Sometimes the words would sound less harsh if we could hear them said. Baptists are not always the most diplomatic

 

Frankly, I think the so-called "pastor" should resign his position, and not you resign from this board.

Cheers, and bless,

Jim

To which I wholeheartedly agree.

 

Old Union Brother,

You are obviously not aware of a rule here at the Baptist Board, which I am invoking with this post.

Since you may not join the Baptist Board without permission from the Administrators, you also may not leave the Baptist Board without their permission. Further, you also must remain if there is any indication by some members that they want you to stay.

That provision has already kicked in, since a number of members have posted their sentiments in this thread. Therefore, you may not leave.

You are obviously a rules-obeying kind of guy, so I know you'll have no difficulty abiding by these rules, heretofore kept secret, to be invoked in just such an occasion as this.

Besides, we like you.

 

Yea, and as a matter of fact you've done this very thing haven't you- several times?

 

Excellent!

 

I really hate to see you go. I always found your posts mature and insightful.

A conservative voice like yours that is tempered by wisdom like that which you display is special.

This is why I am fighting against ad hominem and pleading that the only onslaught be against arguments and not the arguers.
