I tried to send him several emails but they were blocked for some reason. And I was hitting "reply" to his email after having first had one email response. He didn't seem willing to reinstate without some mea culpa in C2M,. I gave up. Given the current slate of insanity, probably wouldn't last long anyway.
I honestly have no idea what they prioritize there. A solid orthodox guy like RK is banned while people that hold truly heretical views are allowed to pontificate ad nauseum. What reasons could they give? They could charge RK with some sort of inappropriate behavior with multiple identities. Well, wherever that chip falls, I can’t fathom it’s unpardonable. What justification to ban RK in the first place? What justification to let true heresy be posted non-stop? And for others.....poaching? Poaching is a bigger deal than heresy evidently. And in Seeking’s case it’s a false charge to begin with. Frustrating beyond words.
They are willing to forgive (if you sufficiently flog yourself on the way to court), But are unwilling to confess to a wrongdoing (God is on their side, therefore, they're always right.) It's that simple.
20th century Christianity. Mix in a little Catholicism and a sprinkle of claims of being apostolic Christians and voila!
Aside from members from here and a few notable others, it's chaos, imo. Many threads have no practical reason to even exist, imo. Same stuff that frustrated me before. Smart-asses dominate. Little visible evidence of anyone even caring.
They fear RK's sharpness, boldness and unbendingness, they can't deal with that. Maybe RK for a moment should remember he is not in court Oh, what did I just say..... I am going to regret this.
Sharpness, boldness, unbendingness. Sounds like what Christians are, as I read it! I'm probably a bit easier going in court . . .
Wisdom - translation: Everyone expects you to be honest but the same people have problems if you tell them the truth.
Anti-poaching (Ta) purge initiated (An) sometime back. Believe the structure has changed - all C2M now ultimately handled through one administrator. Everything boils down pretty much to one. Will that effect doctrinal issues? Everything can look normal yet... Historical arguments and some modern nonsence can go on unabated as long as the issue(s) and dangers of hyper-faith are largely ignored. Which they are.
Only so much you can do as a guest but drifting through out of curiosity, following some of these comments, it looks like a disaster zone over there. I recognise quite a few names, it's amazing how many people I remember have been banned (surely they can't all be heretics?) and much of what goes on in Breaking News and End Times Chat would make laugh if it didn't seem people were actually taking that drivel seriously. I can only imagine what excitement there must be in Contro and in DVP. Do they still have the silly self-proclaimed prophets spouting their drivel in DVP?
That does generate a degree of temptation to troll that forum. But seeing the weirdness in the publicly visible areas I wouldn't be surprised if people started taking it seriously. I don't want to be the "offbeat prophet" posting ever-more weird stuff in there to see how far things can be pushed, when there's clearly a fair chance of people starting to follow it and take it seriously. Shame, part of me is almost longing to troll the place a little.
