For someone who claims not to be using GB name recognition to acieve a larger audience, you certainly are doing a good job of it and have the rapt attention of too many. And now in this post you even have the audacity to establish
"working" conditions. So now you're taking over this board? And what is it you're "working" on,
REFORM? Isn't that not only ARROGANT but the epitome of a DELUSIONAL mind?
And that reference to "HOUSE CLEANING"...
Seems that the wrong ones were "cleaned" out!
Your tone, whoever you are, betrays your LEGALISTIC mind set.
Legalism: Judgmental, self-righteous, uncaring
How does LEGALISM destroy one's faith?
1. It puts rules & conditions above God
2. It puts rules above human needs
3. It kills joy
4. It makes one feel guilty rather than loved
5. It produces self-hatred rather than humility
6. It stresses performance over relationship
7. It makes an APPEARANCE of morality
but it cannot change a person's heart
In all of your posts, they seem to fit the above description. Perhaps you could use a good solid dose of humility and no doubt if you truly are who you say you are, in time you will.
Regretably,
