Very interesting discussion on the post you refer to. Some sage advice within those comments. One thought crossed my mind, though: What would the church be like these days had Martin Luther heeded all of that advice?

We will never know, of course, as such discussion is just an intellectual exercise, but still ….

Apologies accepted and appreciated.

Let’s move on.

Jason, first off, there is a lot of posting under the best name ever “Jason” on this site. I love our name.

Second, I understand, but making a quick judgment is what you did. And yet, that was the very accusation you came at my family with, saying we were wrong in doing so.

Again, I respect your beliefs, and don’t think that you should stop posting. We all need to take a breather from this, forgive everyone all around, and ask that God gives us His spirit of love. Division is not a good thing, even if only a website.

Everybody should forgive each other, and take a break for a while. Once we have donned Christ’s attitudes, we should come back together on here, and continue talking to each other.

Oh, and apologies to his family for basing my opinion on what they posted solely on what I saw here and misinterpreting their intentions.

God bless you all in the future.

And on a side note to Jason B, my attitude came from defending someone I thought was a good friend when I thought he was being wrongly criticized and condemned.

I posted my response based on what I saw on this blog. Looking at only what we see here, we see your family ganging up on you when I don’t think you were wrong in calling out what you saw wrong at JRA.

I’m sorry if there was more here than meets the eye. I apologize for having your back when I thought you were being unfairly attacked (and it sure looked that way.)

Accept my apology. You won’t have to worry about comments on your blog from me again.

There we go. I was hoping you meant something like that. Just needed some clarification, cuz it could have been taken wrong. “Wise as serpents and harmless as doves.” Love you man!

I don’t think my statement was rough. If someone angers you, until you figure out what to do about it in a positive manner, the rational thing to do is just to stay away.

On a separate note, I tried calling you and it went straight to your voicemail. Can you give me a ring?

And my buddy Fortin is PCSing to Ft. Lewis. I told him I grew up around that area. He was like, “Is there anything to do?” I laughed so hard, and proceeded to take 20 minutes to rattle off some of the beauties and wonders of the Great Northwest!

True, but your sentence “you probably will not want to cross me for an indefinite period of time” was pretty rough, don’t you think?

Jason B –

I can be angry but I won’t act upon it negatively. What Jason did was wrong, especially since he doesn’t know Mom and Dad.
