I haven't watched the videos as they have no bearing whatsoever
on the topic under discussion in my OP.

Now that really does explain the 'closed mind' syndrome that you
seemed to be adopting and which you have accused others of
adopting in widening the scope of your OP by introducing related
factors.
It's your thread Poppy and (if I understand Kerry's software
provisions correctly) you have the facility to delete the posts
that irk you so much.
But if you do then I hope Kerry will pull back what you delete
in the form of a new thread.

There is no facility, as far as I can see, to delete posts or
even modify them or lock the thread or else I would have done
it.
Kerry I haven't read you post as it was too long.

You're right Poppy.
I've checked threads that I started in this board and there is
indeed no facility as you say.
There normally is.....Either myself (when I handed over to Kerry
or Kerry himself) must have disable the facility.

[/quote]LOL! And you want us to read a book that is over 200
pages long? If you can plow through that book and think we
might, I would think you could digest my post.

[/quote]You have a slight misunderstanding. If someone wants
the ability to edit posts after 15 minutes or to delete posts,
he should post in his area where he moderates. He can lock
threads and split and merge topics. He can even edit and delete
other people's posts.
Of course, if he moderates his forum in a way that annoys
others, they may choose not to post in it. That's up to him.
I don't consider how people conduct their own forums any of my
business. They can even kick me out of them if they want to.
I could see things if logged in as "Gaffer"; but they can banish
me as "Kerry" -- and I'm also free to ignore their forums.
In the open forum, the rules are different. My policy is not
to lock problematical threads unless someone has caused enough
trouble to deserve a warning. I'm not one of those people who
lock threads hoping to settle things down. I don't think it
works. If there is animosity or some other problem, it pops up
somewhere else. If you ever see me lock a thread that has
gotten out of hand, you can be fairly sure that something else
happened behind the scenes. Odds are you'll never know what it
was; but it could have been an official warning, an unofficial
warning, a stern word or two, or a plea to return to a calm
and loving attitude.
I don't think anyone has done anything in this thread that
deserves a warning or even a plea to return to a calm and loving
attitude. Why should I intervene then in any way?

[/quote]If I understood the opening post correctly, the
assertion was that Christianity has problems that would be
solved if more people spoke in tongues. Is that true? One has
to look at reality to see.
I'd say the opposite is true. We'd have fewer problems if
fewer people were speaking in tongues. We already have more
than enough people pretending to do it when they aren't doing
anything except making Christians look foolish.
I also ask what problems Roberson thinks exists in our churches
which he thinks will be fixed by people speaking in tongues?
If problems exist -- and they do -- I don't think praying for
hours without knowing what you're saying is going to fix them.
We should open our eyes and figure out what the problems are.
Blissing out in our prayer closets could be a way of convincing
ourselves all is well while we're ignoring reality.

This has turned very nasty but it wasn't my intention to be
contentious. I just wanted to encourage people to have a
re-think about tongues. I think I've had enough of it now, I
don't want any more
misunderstandings. It was something that really grabbed me as I
started reading the book but I can see now that it's not for
everyone. My enthusiasm got the better of me.

[font=trebuchet ms]Very gracious, Pat. All is well. We are
family, are we not? Bicker and squabble, but one in the Lord.
We bring each other low, we raise each other up. All the while,
He knows we are only children, being prepared.
My love. :-*[/font]

[/quote]I wouldn't call it "very nasty." I'd say it was an
unnecessary disagreement and a huge waste of time.

[font=trebuchet ms]Take heart, Kerry. If any one of us learn
one little thing, it's never a waste of time. [/font]
