there are people on this board and on this thread that haven't always been nice
i don't get the need to point it out
unless it just makes you feel good
there is a pea - she and i had a little thing a couple months ago
but ya know what - even tho we didn't agree on that 'thing'
we communicate and converse fine now
i post on her threads and she's equally helpful on mine
i've been trying to quit pointing out the differences and find something, anything, positive

I'm not sure where the op wanted to go with this either but I will say I was truly shocked at the level of hatred in the joel osteen thread. And I've been here 17 years. And I don't know where I'm going with this either. This is a public message board and I should have no expectations of kindness. It did inspire me to try harder to be kind to everyone, not just people like myself and whose lifestyle and beliefs are similiar to mine and whose decisions I understand and would make myself. So....random strangers have more of an obligation to say kind things about a supposed Christian who has made millions and millions of dollars selling Jesus than that Christian has to the community he supposedly serves? This whole thread has me scratching my head. It's really more of an oblique hand slap than anything else. I don't believe I implied that anyone has an obligation to be kind to anyone. My post was all about me. I was expressing that I have become aware, as a result of this board, the level of hatred that some people endure daily. And hopefully, i will change my own behavior toward people whom I find it hard to show kindness.

I apologize. I stated earlier that I seen only a few not so nice things. I apparently dismissed the whole Osteen thread from my mind. There were many things said that maybe shouldn't have been. I was one, but I won't take it back. I find the mega church preachers, pocketing so many dollars that could be used for ordinary people, offensive. MY personal opinion.
