Who Is Getting Beat Up Here On BC? Let's recognize who is getting beat up here. This domain of BC is the world. The Church is here, but it is beating up, demolishing, and overcoming the reign of the devil's locale. Remembering Jesus own words that His Church would prevail against the devil's domain, it is not a surprise that there is conflict here on BC. This is more than a High School shooting, or a war in the Middle East. This is a conflict of light and darkness here. If you want a safe harbor, then may I suggest you turn off your blog feature that allows anyone to post. Also set up a friends only thing. To be out in the open like I am invites combat. Women are always commenting and complaining about getting harassed and insulted. It figures, does it not? An open blog here is the trenches that are every bit as bad as those in the civil war at Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. You are going to get bloodied, hurt, and offended here in an open blog. You have my sympathy, but what do you expect? I suppose most people or at least many people are here to find or be found by someone for a relationship. This is suppose to be the purpose of BC, but as it turns out the rest of it is here too. If you are really serious about dating and a possible marriage relationship, I believe the only way is by emailing those who interest you. Sandra and I got started here by emails. If you want to comfort people, and offer your heart felt understanding and prayers, I suggest you do this privately in emails. If you do this publicly, then be prepared for just about anything. What this means is simple. This place is for meeting, but privately by emails, and publicly for emotional, intellectual, spiritual discussions and wrangling over life's issues. Please remember in public, Jesus was harassed, condemned and insulted. But, He gave back better than He got. Those in the devil's domain could not withstand His wisdom, actions, character, and love. Indeed the gates of hell could not hold up to His offensive and counter offensive assault on those gates of self centered living. In His own words, He came to destroy the devil's works or selfish domain. This combat is not physical. Even here on BC, it is still above physicality. This place is public, and the issues will be a public struggle. The light will win as it always does against darkness. This public domain is not the place to bear your heart and vent your feelings. It is naturally a place of combat between Jesus and the devil. The place for help and healing and support is private. Also you can ban and ignore people here, but that is like a band aide. Still a band aide is very helpful. WE are born into a world of conflict to transform ourselves, and by conflict we will exit this world then a better person and blessing to others. Another party, another time. But it was good.

I can say it now, and tomorrow, and next week, but nothing seems to change much, just more of the same. Still I have hope.

Well said brother...

It was yummy. I just love partys with well meaning people. On the blogs, I believe it is better to stick to discussion of issues and especially for women not to get into your own personal issues. That is better discussed with friends privately and never openly in public.

Well said brother... The Apostle Paul said that even in his day there were people who sneak in unawares to demean. I believe that women especially attract this kind of attack when they start sharing publicly their personal issues and allow just anyone to respond. I really believe that women would be better off setting up their blogs for private responses only from their friends that they confirm as friends. They would be better off and we all would be better off if they would allow responses only from their private circle of friends that they choose.

Thanks Lily for your added comments and for being a good friend. There are also some people that I not only like very much here but also feel comfortable talking issues and some personal stuff as well. May I ask you this question? Say for example, if you were to set up your own friends network here on BC would this constitute a clique or a faction? In a way, I do not believe so as this is a public website. The Church is in the world but not of the world. The Church always disciplines according to scripture. I believe we could circle up and admit to our friends network anyone who could behave. WE could discuss public issues in the open and more personal stuff in our friends networks?

Not everyone is able to stand this open forum. They can ban and have friends only networks, but for some reason they are reluctant to do that. My best experience is that when people are desperate to find a good relationship they do not, and when they are no longer desperate to find a good relationship, then they do. Those who can reflect the light and stand the heat are probably called. However may it be noted that reflecting light with little heat means we are shining brightly our self to not absorb the heat of open forums. Blessings.

I know exactly what you mean. An exclusive group in a public forum is not appropriate. Pearls should not be thrown to dogs says Jesus. And, I do believe we have pearl discussions often in public. I will look into how to set up friends networks. Please advise.
