pattygreen 5 Posted August 20, 2010 I was on my way to work today and as always, I was talking to God in prayer. I prayed for each of you who talk with me on this forum and even for those who read the posts, but don't chime in. I asked God if I was doing his will by continuing to talk to others about Him and His word. I wondered if I should cease discussing the scriptures and the issues with those here, because many are offended by my beliefs and the truths in the bible. And also, I asked if I was reaching anyone with the truths of God's word. I asked Him to show me if I should continue on LBT. I specifically asked him to keep my computer from linking up to the forums if He wanted me to stop talking for Him, or about Him, to you all. I only want to do His will. I asked Him to someway, somehow show me what to do. Well, when I got home and logged on, there was my answer from Him. The forums were closed. So, since God always hears and answers prayers, and I will never go against what He wants from me, I am sending this Good-bye to all of you here. I will miss talking with you very much. I have enjoyed it. I believe God has other things for me to do for Him now, and He will let me know what that is. I love you and will continue to lift you all up to God in my prayers. I hope that one day, you will find Jesus and know that He is the way and the truth and the life and that no man comes to the Father but through Him. He is your Savior and He loves you very much. He sent His Son to take your sins away so that you will never have to die and so that you can live eternally with Him in Heaven. I hope to see you there one day! God Bless all of you. My love goes out to you all. Patty Green :biggrin: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LarraineM 6 Posted August 21, 2010 Patty there are still many christians @lap band,we just choose to engage our hearts and minds in just living for the day and the moment. We view God world as a diverce place full of wonderful creatures of all types and live in peace.The judgements are not for us to make,hrs apon hrs of pointless anger ,and damnation will not change anyone world view.I ve only been on this site 10 months but each time I recieved something with your name attached to it I'd just dumped it,never never read it I wish you peace................

rcain03@hotmail.com 1 Posted August 24, 2010 I think alot of you are being mean. If you don't like what someone posts just simply move on to the next one....that is what I do. Why be so mean spirited about it? I am fairly new to LBT.com but, I think you should continue doing whatever makes you feel better Patty! =) Kind of makes me think of the bullied that turns into bullies!

I am fairly new to LBT.com but, I think you should continue doing whatever makes you feel better Patty! =)Kind of makes me think of the bullied that turns into bullies! If I were new I would think the same thing. In fact, I have gone to bat for someone when I thought they were being picked on when I hadn't read all their posts. Then I read more and learned where all the mean spirit came from... it was always provoked. People are mostly very nice here at LBT. But this is a Rants and Raves section and things do heat up from time to time. Some people thrive on that kind of controversy - some people cringe and are disgusted by it. I consider every thread and every post a quick little insight into people's thoughts and beliefs and I find all of it fascinating. And sometimes it is the most fascinating when people get personally invested and say what they're really thinking. It's obviously not for everyone, hence the recent spate of thread closings by the moderators. To each his own, I guess. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BJean 16 Posted August 25, 2010 Nope, looks can be deceiving. They haven't been removed, just closed. Try to post on SOME of the political and religious threads. The ones that were the most lively. The ones that "heated up." The duller ones are still there but no one seems to be interested in them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
