God gave me an edit button! (AND MEMBERSHIP!!)

[Mistress Cookie]

Since my earliest posting a mere 48 hours ago, I wished for an edit button, so I could correct my acursed spelling mistakes, etc. (But then, as Brother Avatar pointed out, if I were only speaking the word of God, there would be no need to edit, would there? Food for thought.)

But here's the exciting part! Suddenly, there is an edit button in the lower right hand corner of my screen! IT WAS NOT THERE BEFORE. Alleluia!!!!!

Also, this is a doubly-blessed day because I am no longer "Unsaved Trash"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YES! I am now listed as a Member!!!!!!!! It just goes to show you can lay your head down on your pillow one night as a cursed sinner, and awake in the light of the Lord on the morrow.

Alleluia once, alleluia twice, Alleluia On High to the Lord!

Are any of you in Los Angeles? I want to celebrate this glorious day!

So you're saved from eternal damnation because it says "Member" instead of "Unsaved Trash." I thought you had to d o more to get into heaven.

Don't listen to that lying ding-dong. You should be very happy that you are on your way to Salvation.

Why don't I have an edit button. Do members only get edit buttons?

Thank you, Sister Cheshire. If only you lived nearby, we could run through the (smoggy) meadows together and sing His praises on high!

Dear Liar: I will say unto you what I said to Bozo Troll, recently. Aren't you tired of fighting everyone? Don't you wish to belong...and I mean truly belong? Why keep to your lonely, solitary and sin-slicked path when you can join the fine, God Loving people of Landlover Baptist Church? I would have to ask a male church elder, to be sure on this, but it surely be vanity and pride which keepeth you from joining us.

Let go of your youthful rebellion and show your faith by making a Love Offering with the paypal button below. You, too, can be a member and not just pitied and reviled Unsaved Trash, as I once was. Everyone wants to be liked, accepted, treasured...why not you? Become one of us...one of us...one of us...

I have an Edit button too. I always thought it came from Jesus, Jesus, well now I am really disappointed

I praise you because your motives all have good intent, but let me tell you why I can't

First off, I am liked by my friends and family outside of this online, religious community. And I can't blindly accept something as fact without any strong evidence for its existence, yes I'm talking about God. Second, I see this forum as a cult, such that your ideas and views of the world are so far from the ideas and views of the average American. There is such a minority of you that I'm glad that I'm not one of you.

<< First off, I am liked by my friends and family outside of this online, religious community >>

But you can bring them all here with you! It doesn't have to be a choice. Though they might not be true friends, if they are leading you astray (ie, away from Landover Baptists)

And by the way, cults are made up of insecure, brainwashed drifters (often with good hearts) who are desperate to belong somewhere, and are then glommed onto by a charismatic leader who wants their money. They then use fear and shame along with the threat of ostracism as means of control. Does this sound like it's describing a Christian community, like OURS, to you??????

SUV: All good things come from Jesus, so your edit button is from Jesus and not just a right of membership. I hope that cheers you up.

Now, that's the Spirit!!!

I feel so Uplifted I might even Testify to my Husband, Snottyduck (or "Snotgansken" as he likes to be called) if I see him here, on our Godly Board.

Bless you, Sister!

Re: God gave me an edit button! (AND MEMBERSHIP!!)

Don't listen to LDD. It doesn't know this from that. Do you want to be led down the wrong path? LBC is NOT A CULT!! This is a CHURCH THAT WORSHIPS JESUS!!

To be a cult you need cult members to believe in a false prophet, a living God. Landover doesn't have anything like that. Our Godly pastors are available to lead us toward our Holy Goal, but we do not worship them as Gods, like the stupid gooks or Moonies.

You were lucky to be chosen for membership. That means that your devotion to Jesus was deemed sincere. Don't let us down.

You do have an edit button; God gave it to you. It's called a brain. You should try using it sometime.

Then ask them for an edit button.

Then why do you spend so much time on our PRIVATE CHRISTIAN CHURCH FORUM, Dingaling?

such that your ideas and views of the world are so far from the ideas and views of the average American. There is such a minority of you that I'm glad that I'm not one of you.

Nine American states voted for Mike Huckabee, Baptist pastor and Christian Reconstructionist*, for President over the somewhat liberal John McCain. Does that sound like a tiny minority?

Former President George H.W. Bush (affectionately known as "Daddy Bush") had this to say about God-haters like you when he was running for office.

Bush said, "I don't know that atheists should be regarded as citizens, nor should they be regarded as patriotic. This is one nation under God."

You may recall that he WON handily.



* Since I imagine you're too lazy to follow a simple link, I'm going to cut and paste a sampling from the article.

Its most common form, Dominionism, represents one of the most extreme forms of Fundamentalist Christianity thought. Its followers, called Dominionists, are attempting to peacefully convert the laws of United States so that they match those of the Hebrew Scriptures. They intend to achieve this by using the freedom of religion in the US to train a generation of children in private Christian religious schools. Later, their graduates will be charged with the responsibility of creating a new Bible-based political, religious and social order. One of the first tasks of this order will be to eliminate religious choice and freedom. Their eventual goal is to achieve the "Kingdom of God" in which much of the world is converted to Christianity. They feel that the power of God's word will bring about this conversion. No armed force or insurrection will be needed; in fact, they believe that there will be little opposition to their plan. People will willingly accept it. All that needs to be done is to properly explain it to them.

All religious organizations, congregations etc. other than strictly Fundamentalist Christianity would be suppressed. Nonconforming Evangelical, main line and liberal Christian religious institutions would no longer be allowed to hold services, organize, proselytize, etc. Society would revert to the laws and punishments of the Hebrew Scriptures. Any person who advocated or practiced other religious beliefs outside of their home would be tried for idolatry and executed. Blasphemy, adultery and homosexual behavior would be criminalized; those found guilty would also be executed. At that time that this essay was originally written, this was the only religious movement in North America of which we were aware which advocates genocide for followers of minority religions and non-conforming members of their own religion.

And here is some information about the Christian Reconstructionist beliefs (more at the link). You'll note that such beliefs are clearly demonstrated here at Landover:

The primacy of the Hebrew Scriptures, relative to the Christian Scriptures (New Testament). All of the Hebrew Scriptures' non-ceremonial laws are still in force, unless they have been specifically rescinded or modified by verses in the Christian Scriptures. "Only if we find an explicit abandonment of an Old Testament law in the New Testament, because of the historic fulfillment of the Old Testament shadow, can we legitimately abandon a detail of the Mosaic law." 3 This is largely supported by their interpretation of Matthew 5:17:

"Do you think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them." (NIV)

Civil laws must be changed to match the Bible's moral rules. That is, anything that is immoral (by their standards) is also to be criminalized.

Here are just a few of the changes we can look forward to when True Christians™ rule the land (more on the link):

If they gained control of the US or Canadian federal government, there would be many changes:

The use of the death penalty would be greatly expanded, when the Hebrew Scriptures' laws are reapplied. People will be executed for adultery, blasphemy, heresy, homosexual behavior, idolatry, prostitution, evil sorcery (some translations say Witchcraft), etc. The Bible requires those found guilty of these "crimes" to be either stoned to death or burned alive. Reconstructionists are divided on the execution method to be used.

A church or congregation which does not accept the Mosaic Law has another god before them, and is thus guilty of idolatry. That would be punishable by death. That would include all non-Christian religious organizations. At the present time, non-Christians total two-thirds of the human race.

The status of women would be reduced to almost that of a slave as described in the Hebrew Scriptures. A woman would initially be considered the property of her father; after marriage, she would be considered the property of her husband.

It would be logical to assume that the institution of slavery would be reintroduced, and regulated according to Biblical laws. Fathers could sell their daughters into slavery. Female slaves would retain that status for life. Slave owners would be allowed to physically abuse them, as long as the slaves lived for at least a day before dying of the beating.

You know, Sister Jenny, I am SO GLAD someone had the bravery to lay it all out like that, and risk being unpopular with some of our visitors. Many people think religion is a personal issue; well, not forever! That time is quickly coming to an end -- especially if McCain or some other Good and Godly Conservative gets into office -- and people like Ding Dong had better get ONBOARD or be left BEHIND...or, as you pointed out, they can look forward to much, much worse.

<< The status of women would be reduced to almost that of a slave as described in the Hebrew Scriptures. A woman would initially be considered the property of her father; after marriage, she would be considered the property of her husband. >>

I wish more people would read the prophetic novel The Handmaid's Tale, written by Margaret Atwood (and/or her Husband). I mentioned it in another thread, and it really paints such a clear picture of what we have to look forward to when all is made right. It should be required reading for everyone, to speed us along to Harmony. PS: Ladies, if you want to see what's coming you better read that book now, because under the New Order, women won't be allowed to read.

Oh, when Christian men are finally in charge, I'm sure we'll be taught to read instructions, and teach manners to our children. But if you want a jump strt on being forbidden to read, just download the narration, so you can listen instead.
