When folks stick it out and share thoughts and ideas, it can be amazing. Lol....maybe I watch Fox News too much...JK! I am DRAWN to it because they tell it staight up. <br /><br />PS...I have plenty of friends. I am the sort who needs a couple of deep friends and the rest are casual. I like it that way. Far too often, I prefer my own company. It just so happens that you seem to be an exception for me. <br /><br />PSS...YOU are more controversial than P. Dan. :) Play nice now... lolAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2153655709233863276.post-4298903025372400122010-08-01T21:30:58.014-05:002010-08-01T21:30:58.014-05:00I don't think Facebook and public forums are p...I don't think Facebook and public forums are places for people to be big-time controversial or unkind. Way too much is misunderstood when people just put things in print and leave it at that, in my opinion. That said, people have spoken their minds on both my blog and FB, even bordering on something other than 'nice' on several occasions. They disagree with me all the time - that isn't new or news to me at all.<br /><br />I guess i prefer the BELIEVER route - not the nice or the un-nice route. I would think people who prefer the 'less-nice-route' are people who end up with less friends. <br /><br />I AM grateful for the church I am in and I'm quite THANKFUL it isn't like where you work. It's not supposed to be like that. It's supposed to be different, so I guess we're doing the right thing if it isn't like where you work. Glad to hear it.PK's BLOGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08209049861468531875noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2153655709233863276.post-61758377675967184232010-08-01T19:48:27.754-05:002010-08-01T19:48:27.754-05:00No, I do talk openly....90% of it is extremely pos...No, I do talk openly....90% of it is extremely positive. I love ya and I tell you those types of things very often. It's just once in a while I have a different thought and sometimes, I feel like I am not a "nice" person because of it. But I AM a nice person. I just have a thinking mind and I feel secure enough to speak it.<br /><br />I sometimes read your blog or FB and everyone is very polite all of the time. I guess that is due to your position. Maybe in private situations, they say what they mean and mean what they say. <br /><br />I am a very strange person...I like to know where I stand and to tell people where I am coming from. Lots of people prefer the nice route. It's just my preference.<br /><br />Maybe we do need more nice in the church, but if you came to where I work....you would be grateful for the church you are in. We tease and talk for real about all kinds of things. It is interesting. IDEAS are interesting. You read a lot about many things. I am sure you agree. Do you find all them nice? Or do find them thought-provoking and challenging?<br /><br />I just see nothing wrong with disagreeing with those in charge...in a reasonable way. Just try not to take it personally. It's not intended that way.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2153655709233863276.post-17298160781979187812010-08-01T18:33:32.861-05:002010-08-01T18:33:32.861-05:00Hopefully we can talk openly about our differences...Hopefully we can talk openly about our differences. Frankly - evidently this isn't your experience -- but I don't find people in the church to hold back all that much about their various opinions. I think we need more 'nice' in the church, not less. We seem to be heavy on TRUTH, and short on LOVE, from my experience.<br /><br />I know some believers who shy away from political conversations, but again -- really --- they're in the minority in the circles I travel in.PK's BLOGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08209049861468531875noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2153655709233863276.post-20113712229693369862010-08-01T00:09:40.996-05:002010-08-01T00:09:40.996-05:00I can't help but ask this...does being a Chris...I can't help but ask this...does being a Christian in the church, make us less of a Democracy? Is it more polite to go with the system? Or is it acceptable to talk openly about our differences?<br /><br />I strongly believe that one can be too nice...to the point of lying. No one has to be cruel about it, but healthy debate is good. Better solutions come about by talking things over in a thoughtful manner.<br /><br />I have notices that most Christians shy away from politics. I refuse to do that. That is what shapes our policies and laws. It is extremely important. Do I have a heart problem? Maybe tomorrow's sermon will spell that out, but I am still an American...and I am blessed to be able to speak my mind. In many countries, I would be killed for it. I think I have a kind heart, but I may find that our thoughts differ in this topic. we shall see...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
