Rufus, apology accepted, from me at least, although I'm not sure that you've said anything to offend me, personally. I quit drinking in 2002 so I wish you continued success with your struggles, against drinking. I don't know about others, on this forum, but I get a kick out of how some posters go after others personally. But rest assured that, for me, I've been called every name in the book. And I can usually give as good as I get. Now the only thing, at least for me, would not be what names you call me, but rather any threats that may be made, other than that, we're good. And don't feel too bad if you can't control yourself sometimes, we all make mistakes. I know I've had a huge change in the way I post. I often attack a poster and then go back over my post and remove all personal comments and try to make my post generic and stick to a particular point of view. But even then I slip up, and make mistakes. So Rufus, if you're a Conservative, go ahead and call me every name in the book, I can take it, I'm a Liberal.

Bruce-as a liberal are you satisfied with the direction in which this country is headed ? Do you like big government or would you prefer a smaller less intrusive government ? Do you think we should balance the Nation's budget or keep printing and borrowing until the credit card runs out ? Do you think we should reform the tax code to allow the private sector to create more jobs and to close loopholes so that everyone pays a fair share ? Do you favor government control of your health care (a la VA)?
Can you name a single liberal in congress who has advocated for a balanced budget and paying down the debt ? Do you favor open borders and what is happening now with thousands of children entering illegally ?
Do you like the IRS being involved in levying fines against citizens who do not enroll in Obamacare ? Do you like the idea that i******s can come in our country and receive benefits at the expense of taxpayers while our own citizens are struggling to make ends meet ? I am a conservative but lean towards the middle(moderate). We need to help our poor and less affluent citizens but I am against importing more poor folks. I believe the millions who are unemployed want a hand-up (job) and not a hand-out. Give a man a fish and feed him for one day but teach him how to fish and he can feed himself. Good Luck America !!!

You're not alone. I had to admit to myself about 12-13 years ago that alcohol is not something I could socially enjoy any longer.
You are in my prayers. Pm me if like.


So that's what happened to your brain. You shrunk it down to a pea size when you were boozing. I knew that crap you were spewing came from some type of malady.

Nothing like a large dose of h**e to make a man in pain feel better about himself, and seek forgiveness while trying to be a better person. Nice going.

Rufus,

I thought you were in pain from some of the things you have said. They were things that you were not normally prone to saying. Since I have been through a lot of personal pain the last few weeks and have not always used my judgement as I should I can fully understand. We all have our own nightmares. I have been using OPP to air some of them regarding by brother's life and death, which angered a few people, so I appreciate your problem. Use this time to sort out which form of help would work best for you, but ALWAYS include God in this decision.

Our prayers are with you.

The fact that you are praying for me means very much to me. I do believe I have a lot of anger because of all the many deaths we have experienced in the last year and a half. I prayed for your family the other day and will continue to.
I think you know I look up to you and respect you. I took your advice the other day and made an apology in a private message to BD. It was very well received.
I thought of contacting you first with what I have been experiencing. But I chickened out and contacted Jack Sequim. I also know kmikale is good. You are the men who welcomed me on here.
I believe I first began experiencing this spiritual attack when I made mention to my church group that I wanted to be on my knees when praying. I have done this, but boy this is when I started noticing that I would grow two steps and get knocked back three steps.
I have read the passage recently where Paul struggles with the sin in Him. Very powerful. I completely understand. I also just finished Ecclesiastes where Solomon says life is meaningless and chasing after the wind. I did come away from that with still remembering to look at all the good in people and the beauty and awe of His creation.
Thank you for your love and thank you for your prayers. I will continue to ask God to surround you and your family with His love and hope he pours His warm peace on you and lifts your spirit and your heart.

Good job Rufus. I too am guilty of harsh and disparaging comments.

But I apologize for nothing I've said to the Homos I insulted.

I think I may have stepped over the line lately. I will attempt to do better. Thank you for your kind words.

Rufus, God created us to step over the line. How could we understand evil if we don't join in. How could we know love if we don't practice love. God created us to taste everything that God knows. There is no sin in Heaven. That is why God put us on this earth. This earth is a battleground for good and evil. Everybody on this earth participates in that. It is a test tube. Nothing can touch God on this earth because God subjected His creation to futility. Romans chapter 8 verse 20. We are separated from God and placed in this classroom called earth. In genesis God said let us make man in our Image. This earth is where God is doing that. God didn't make Adam in His Image, He formed Adam out of the dust of the earth. In order to make man in God's Image we must be subjected to the Things that God knows. In the world where everybody is separated from God that is where God teaches His children right from wrong. The Holy Spirit teaches us the hidden knowledge of God. The mysteries. We learn the physical things of the world by our parents and teachers, and whoever Crosses our path in our lifetime. A child of God who is being taught by the Holy Spirit can only share what the Holy Spirit teaches. It is the Holy Spirit who confirms what we share is God's t***h. The Holy Spirit witnesses to our spirit the t***h of God. The Bible says where two or more are gathered in my name I am among them. Man cannot do that. That is the Holy Spirit's work.

I just want to take a minute to formally apologize to every one of you on this forum. For the last three days I have been drinking. I have posted some h**eful inappropriate topics. I am ashamed of my behavior and am truly sorry if I offended any of you or hurt any of you with my stupid, sometimes h**eful comments.
I am guilty of making inappropriate comments even when I'm sober but much worse when drinking.
I may disagree with some of you here but do not want to be hurtful to anyone.
I will attempt to be more responsible in the future, but if I cannot then I may have to remove myself from the forum altogether.
I am truly sorry if I have offended or harmed any of you.

It probably wasn't as bad as you think so don't beat yourself up because toes get stepped on all the time on OPP even unintentionally.

Dammit Man!!! I don't blame you. They are homos for God's sake. Some things are just wrong whether we are drinking or not. God love you brother.

Thank you for the kind and encouraging words robby. I need all the help I can get. I am a Christian and find many times I am simply overwhelmed. It is so good to know there are many loving brothers and sisters on here. Thank you so much.

You are forgiven, and you are respected for being a big enough person to admit your problem.
