More than half the threads near the top of the forum belong to you. You're obviously welcome to do whatever with your threads and posts, but just for the sake of not creating threads to the point of spam, it might be wise to create less threads in such a short period of time.

This was suggested some time back, and JIA is much better than he was when this was suggested. I personally haven't had issue with the number of threads he starts for quite a while now, but then, I could just be considering it nice since I was around heavily when he used to start what seems like five to ten a day. Don't give him a hard time about that, JIA is much improved in his forum manners than when he started. He used to not even include monologue from himself, only pasted Bible, links and the long winded article from someone else. His post and thread habits are greatly improved.

Looking at you.
He learns his lessons the hard way. He doesn't realize it, but he gets back what he puts in, and that is why everyone gets on his case. If he wear to start putting out good things, he would receive good, even from those who hate him. BTW I'm not one of the ones who hate him.

Yeah, I realize there's improvement, but it still seems like every 3rd new thread is a heavily-quoted diatribe from one of his websites. He should really try to condense a lot of his material into discernable (and more readable) points.
And I have no problem with him personally....I'm just trying to look out for the forum more than anything.
I am a fellow believer of God. So, the things I am going to suggest here are only intended to help you out here. I do not post here much, so I don't know the histiry of your thread making/posting here. However, I am seeing that people are a little tired of the amount of threads made by you. ANd going through some of your posts I notice that you have looooong posts and ALOT of bible qouting.
Might I suggest JIA that you try to converse with the non-believers here without too much bible qouting? I say this because non-believers don't really care what the bible says, so they would probably appreciate you speaking more from the heart. THat may help in befriending them and gaining respect from them. Find out if they were hurt in the past relating to church, as many people come from households/churches that turned them off. Share stories of your struggles...everyone has imperfections. I like to call these "stories" ..."COmfessions of a Christian Dirtbag". We all have struggles, addictions, problems etc. Show that you as a Chrisian are also a human being..a sinner if you will.
THese are only suggestioins. You may do with this advice what you want. Sharing about yourself and letting others share their stories may help more than you know!
God loves you for your outreach here, do not get me wrong. I just think that maybe you are coming off as a little strong and losing some respect. You are doing God will here by sharing and that is great!!!! Keep that up, just maybe think about changing your apporach!

But, Mr/Mrs JIA does have the right to share his/her faith. Let's just try to do this all so that everyone respects everyone and there's not a huge overload of information given that is not at this point useful!
Keep up that humor, dear. *smiles* The last paragraph was just fine, just fine.
JIA does have the right to share his faith to a certain extent. He looses that right, not when he disagrees with others, but when his own opionions become harmful to others.
JIA consitantly makes reapeated, bigoted, and hateful statements agaisnt others on this forum, calling them Anti-christs and such.
Practically everyone else on teh forum is here to discuss ideas and learn about eachoters faiths and lack there of. JIA comes here to preach and tell us were wrond, then hypocritically attacks our personal rebuttals to his extremist views. He has not simply been sharing.
Saying you know God's will is rather arrogant is it not...isn't that a sin in you book?
Yes I can see that some frustrating stuff is going on here.
Could you clarify your last scentence there Alliance. I am a little uncertain as to what you are meaning by it being a sin to say one knows God's will. Could you elaborate on that Alliance?
Well, let's just take a step back here together Alliance Ok? *smiles*
I think that you had intitailly said that JIA saying that he knew God's Will was arrogant and thus a sin. Please correct me at this point if i misunderstood.
ANyway, as a christian, we read the bible, thus we know what God's Will would be for us in our lives. Do you follow so far Alliance? So, JIA is not sinning by saying that he/she knows God's Will. But, the arrogance part may be where the problem is. Arrogance is not good, just like many other things such as lying, cheating, selfishness etc. Are you getting what I am saying dear? Or should I explain differently?
