I find it ironic that with one post you tell me my beliefs are delusional and then tell me to let people hold on to their beliefs.
And I find it fucked up, that you use your beliefs as a license, to act like a complete dickhead to people who are just trying to get their stories out there.
I'm not inflicting pain on anyone. I have not personally attacked people as I have been personally attack.
You have a way about you Tim, that bothers me a lot. Your personally type is designed to shut people down, who are experienceing honest introspection. Haven t these people suffered enough? Can t you leave them alone? Is this really what your god wants of you?
Your post is very arrogant.
I could see how it could be viewed that way..
But it is also sound and legitimate.
You assume that I haven't heard any of the things you think you can tell me that would crush my beliefs.
I.m just gonna leave all that alone for now, Tim.
But we're not talking about religious beliefs on this forum are we?
Can I reserve the right to quote you on that, as necessary?
We're talking about people who claim they were abused. I have already admitted that it has happened in some isolated cases in the Roloff homes. I have also explained that it was by people not acting in accordance to any established policy of the ministry. I am here now, and have been here for many years during different times in the past. I know what I know, you just assume that you know. You assume based on the testimony of others. Here's what I propose Paul. Instead of blindly believing what your told, (which is what you believe I am doing) check it out for yourself, come down to Corpus Christi Texas and pay a little visit. Go on a tour, ask the people in the homes questions. I dare you. Then come back to me and debate me about the validity of the claims that I have called into question here.
I have a pretty good sense of people Tim. I don't think that these people are lying.. You should get out of their way, and leave them alone!
I have a suggestion for you. Before you go claiming that I'm self righteous, learn what it means to remove the beam from your own eye before you remove the sliver from mine.
I'm fully content with the beam from my eye. If you lose the silver form yours so easily, maybe something wasn t right to begin with..
