Hi Gang-
It seems that our resident jr. member of the FDS is back. Frankly, I am surprised to see him return at this time. I wonder if he is still trying his hand at false prophecy so that he can attain his senior membership to the FDS.
Seriously though, I think in many ways You Know serves a purpose here on this board. I am sure the comments that he makes about individuals who disagree with him are similar to the comments the Pharisees made to the 1st century Christians. You know, "How dare you disagree with me, I represent Jehovah's special chosen people!!! If you disagree with me my God will kill you!!!"
The book entitled "The Subtle Power of Spiritual Abuse" describes individuals who behave like You Know very well and I highly recommend it. However, we should know that while You Know, in my opinion, demonstrates many of the characteristics of a spiritual abuser, he is also a victim of spiritual abuse since he not doubt learned this behavior from someone else.
It is my hope that someday You Know will learn about the love that Christ has for all people and not just individuals who happen to agree with him.
