Folks, I have become aware that I am spending far too much time participating on this forum. One reason is I enjoy the dialogue and interplay. Another is because I like to try and (hopefully!!!) offer a moderate, doctrinally sound Christian opinion on the many disparate subjects brought up on this board.

Unfortunately, I am participating to a degree that I perceive that I am not giving enough attention to my family and church. Thus, I will be moving back to lurker status for awhile. Please accept my apologies if I have participated in this thread and have not responded to open questions or issues. Any particular questions/messages can be directed to me via email: [email protected].

Soli Deo Gloria,

JD Longmire

P.S. Please note, no ellipsi!

Excuse me? Pithy? No Pithy is cut-and-paste poems and websites other people wrote.

Truth is that in order to change anything in our lives we have to focus on what is real, not the supposed suffering of 2,000 years ago. And using said sacrifice to okay the suffering in the real world (a la Mother Theresa) is a travesty of the supposed sacrifice.

Whoops, my bad. Dont know why I associated that word with negative meaning. My apologies.

This place can indeed suck up alot of time. So many points of view. So much information. Take care, my friend.

Do you have a reference for this that isn't published by White Wolf?
