Only Prayer and Encouragement for the Troops Please!!

In all sincerity mother angel, some of us are beginning to doubt your sincerity.

Which is to say, she ain'ta gonna stop, because, as is the case with a certain member in the "Evolution? How?" thread, she doesn't give a rat's ass for our reaction, she just wants exposure on a high page rank site . . .

I wonder how often god checks out this forum.

I find it easier to just email him.

Lord, we ask again today that you keep our troops safe and guide them with your wisdom. Please bring them all home safely and soon. Through Christ Our Lord, Amen.

I appreciate your reappraisal, and thank you sincerely for your kind forebearance - but how many times do I hafta tell ya - that whole officer thing snuck up on me - it wasn't my idea at all :wink:


Perhaps - I've no basis from which to deny that. However, to available appearances, it would seem you've neither left where you're at nor deviated from what you're doing - hence the contretemps in which you now find yourself engaged.


Perhapsd the shirt would be less wrinkled were you to take it off and launder it once in a while - be bold, step out, expand your wardrobe and try a different ensemble - something new might do wonders.


Again, why should any public discussion thread, posted by any member or posted to by any member, on any topic, in any of this website's forums, be either more or less "special" than any other public thread or post on this website? By what criteria should the Moderators of this website's forums take particular notice of your preferences, or of anyone else's preferences, for that matter, so long as no direct violation of the Member Agreement is evidenced? Where in that agreement is it stated and/or established that thread digressions constitute breach of said agreement? Is there something about "Open forum/Open discussion" that gives you difficulty?


You need not tell me A2K is frequented by some who are or were "troops". Several other folks engaged in this particular discussion need no reminder of that either, being as they fit the description. While I won't and can't speak for every participant on this thread, I know for a fact several meet the qualification, and all of them are included among those critical of your tack here.



If one has a toy one would prefer others not play with, it makes little sense for that one to drag that toy to a public playground, set it up, and say "Hey, kids! Look at this!"



I'd love to stick around and carry on with this real-time, but I gotta run right now; I'm on a local dart team, and tonight at our tavern we're hosting another local tavern's dart team - longstanding, hard fought rivalry there between the VFW and the American Legion. Back in a few hours.

might want to rethink that "guide them with your wisdom", bit, apparently he's been advising the president and that's not working out so well

timber...
Here's wishing you straight shooting. I have faith in ya.

Lord, we ask again today that you be with our troops in their time of great need. Please guide them, comfort them, and bring peace to them. Please be with their families and comfort them in the absence of their loved ones. In Jesus' Name we pray. Amen.

Don't we have private user-group forums here? Momma, if you want to pray in peace, why not join and post to the christian sub forum?

littlek,

They no longer have Christian Usergroups (or any other as far as I know.)

It's ok, littlek, God can take care of Himself in here. I will just post a daily prayer for the troops in here and one for the Iraqi people in the other one.

I appreciate your thoughtfulness.

There is something about these prayer topics that leaves me unsatisfied.

When Jesus gave his model prayer in the sermon on the mount, he told us to pray for his father's 'will to be done.'

In what way does any of the multinational blood spilled in Iraq satisfy the will of god?

I don't get why everyone had to go pissing all over Momma's thread here. It's almost like some people are trying to chase her from A2K. I don't think she did anything to warrant the response that she was given over the first few pages of this thread.

Do you guys really think that a thread where the religious types can post their prayers is so threatening that you have to immediately sabotage it? Isn't it easier to just ignore it then to jump all over her ****?

nope there is not one

Well said, kicky.

Kickycan,

You ARE the man!

I'm bookmarking.

I've heard a few explainations for the pissing but.....

I'm still not really sure.

I DID, indeed, see your bouncy mouse, and frankly I believe the saccadic motion in my eyes will never fully recover.


That it has become a somewhat less frenetic monkey has almost made me a believer in the efficacy of appeals to "Great Caesar's Ghost", an unlikely being to whom I appealed involuntarily upon seeing the hypermanic mouse.

Here's a post which cannot be repeated too often.

I've been avoiding this post for quite some time now, or at least, I think I have... I can't quite remember. Anyway, some of the posts here are completely unjustified.

Prayer may not have more than a placebo effect, but it's the thought that counts and MA's thought is a very nice one at that.

It would, however, have been nice, howvever, if you had included "and the Iraqi people" in the title. I'm not sure about you, but I think they need the prayers a little bit more, seeing as it is their country and when the US Troops leave, they'll have to live with whatever mess or non-mess that's left.

EDIT: Oh wait, never mind. I see you've included the Iraqi people in your last post.
