The circular firing squad

@doctor-phibes said in The circular firing squad:

I think Dewey is doing what he believes is right. If you don't agree, you don't need to listen.

That's not quite right. Let us consider Luke and the words of Christ:
15 “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves. 16 You will know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes from thornbushes or figs from thistles?

What are the fruits? Breaking up a family, not providing for them as he could (I Timothy 5:8 But if any provide not for his own, and specially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel.) and the sin of a practicing homosexual.

So, we're not looking at motives, but at actual unrepentent sin preaching from the pulpit.

And that's just wrong and should be labeled as such.

The assholes are so easy to pick out in this thread.

Yes, we certainly have one participating now.

There are a few forum people I have never met that I would trust with my life if I had to and Dewey is one of those people. You all need to leave him alone.

[Doctor Phibes]

Well said

[Jolly]

I've not said a single thing that I haven't already said to Dewey's "face".

In some people's opinion, he may be a great person. That, I do not know. What I do know, is that he is an apostate preacher.

And I'll be happy to go round and round with him on that, right here. Right now.

I really dislike the tendency of disparaging people who are no longer participants here. It's really easy to take a swipe at someone with whose views/positions/politics/personality you disagree with.

They're gone.

Accept that and, dare I say, move on.

I used to participate on another forum that started dumping on a person who was not even on that forum. I found it distasteful to attack him/her when s/he had no place to reply.

Don't speak ill of the (figurative) dead, especially when they've been gone for years.

Lol

I've got news for you. I may be one my way to 70, but I can still pick Ax up and whip Andy's ass with him.....

As a wise old man once told me, never screw with an old man. They can't fight you and life in prison is not that long to them.

You know.... if you joined in and actually bothered to get to know us rather than to just use us you too would be able to tell when people have their tongue in their cheek and when they're making a fist. You might figure out that there's not nearly as many fists flying as you think. Hell, it might even teach you how to self reflect, which would result in a new perspective on just who it is thats the asshole.

I don't think anyone or the chickens with beaks really care what you can or cannot do, Larry.

Indeed. There is nothing to be gained by dredging up old wounds, and much to be lost. Again.

You’re still here and therefore fair game.

And I don't care what anyone who think chickens have lips think either.

Yup. I can take it. Its ok. I know who the good people are and am learning to take and accept their rebuttals. People like you and George though, through our disagreements, you are both people who i am blessed to call friend.

It's not a "tendency", Dewey fucked with me while he was here, was disingenuous and manipulative, and I dislike it. There is not a "tendency", but leaving does not give immunity from comment in the future.

And you surely put yourself squarely within that group. Even knowing your posting history, you're one of the good people.

What a fun thread, memories, writing my fantasy dinner guest list.

Sometimes I feel Larry & Jolly are the same person, with Jolly the 'intellectual' persona, so only one would be allowed. Probably Larry, I like his straightforwardness.
