2. Sweetwater? You didn't want to get into it but you mentioned it? I was being nice by not mentioning all their problems in my post but here goes. Do you support people who lie and cheat? Who lie that a 17 year-old girl exposes herself? Who lie that people with more talent in their little finger than their entire group has vandalized SW, among other things? If I say nothing, don't you think God just might ask me why I didn't stand up for at least the girl who apparently never wanted to do anything but help. My interest in Sweetwater is to see that it is saved. It's not being saved now. Anyone who doesn't try to bring attention to this should not cry and moan when it's torn down. If you don't take a stand you have no right to criticize what happens to the old home.
3. Yes, you laugh at others. Oh, where you say? Most of your posts run something like this: He's not responsible because of his mental condition. Just what do you think the smiling/laughing/razzing/whatever emoticon implies?

Saying that you drive a better car than someone else is a fact, saying you dress better than someone else is a fact, & bragging. Depends on what fact you speak of that could be considered bragging. Not that it’s any of your business but I have worked. Ever heard of the word retired? You know, it’s what people do when they get a certain age or something they choose to do at a certain point in their life.
Do you think you have to be a Christian to be an apologist or a verbalist?
Sweetwater? You say I didn't want to get into it but I mentioned it?
Read my post again. I said I wasn’t going to get in on what's going on with Mag, Joy, you & the others. I was speaking of what’s going on with all of you on here about another forum. I think Mag is wrong to talk about Joy & b50m the way he does, but I’m not his watchdog.
No, I don't think God just might ask you why you didn't stand up for whatever girl you’re speaking of. If He does, then he will also ask about the people you’ve treated harshly & talked about behind their back. What about those people?
1 Cor 5:12-13 (NIV) says “What business is it of mine to judge those outside the church? Are you not to judge those inside? God will judge those outside”.
Your interest in Sweetwater is to see that it is saved?? In your post that I quoted you said didn’t support Sweetwater Mansion. If you want to see it saved, why not contact the owner, give her proof of any wrong doing & ask her to put you in charge?
I laugh at others? Where did that come from?
Yes, Fire, I know exactly what the smiling/laughing/razzing/whatever emoticon implies. I’m not stupid as you have implied in the past. I’ve seen you use those little emotions too.
I have never made fun of anyone that has a mental condition. I use those things with Bill Gray to try & get a point across to him. Have you never read his put down of others, his lack of love/compassion, his hell/condemnation of us all, the use of his little cartoons that he uses to be rude or make fun of the people on this forum? Is that your idea of a Christian???
