A Clarification Please... (Vanity)
Curious... | 8/16/21 | Openurmind

Posted on 08/16/2021 3:44:48 PM PDT by Openurmind

I would like some clarification as to the truth of the rules and situation here on the FR. Several times over the last few years it has been mandated by certain users that a prerequisite for participating here, conversing here, or donating here is mandated that you must first be a White Puritan Christian. No exceptions or you are considered a Troll. You must believe what they believe exactly or you should hit the highway.

Anyone else conservative or not, are to be considered as just trolls and should excommunicate themselves and leave. This is an important clarification. Because if the owner Jim feels that only Christians of a certain Christian sect are allowed equal respect here or not. That certain one sect needs to be shared. Those who are not of that particular sect deserve the right to know that their participation and donations are not actually appreciated.

Is see animosity between even sects of Christianity battling each other here. Hate for Mormons, Hate for Catholics from Christians, Hate for Christians from Catholics, God forbid anyone who comes here and is honest and says they are an Orthodox Christian from ETHIOPIA! So what is it? Is this a domain site rule and mandate or not? Those of us who believe in the first amendment and freedom of speech and religion would like to know what the parameters are. What sect exactly is a prerequisite to participate here?

Are non Christians allowed here at all? Can one believe in God without belonging to a formal religious sect? Are any other faiths allowed based on freedom of religion? Please make this very clear, because if there is an underlying prerequisite and unwritten rule, there are many of us here who are not quite pure Bible thumping (perfect mandated sect) conservatives and would really like to know. Is our own Constitutional right to believe as we like respected here or not?

It is important to know... If those who do not fit the "exact parameters" judged as a prerequisite mandate are not appreciated and not equally respected or not. What are these please? Do these prerequisite mandates even exist here? In this fight for our country is it wise to throw the baby out with the bath water? But this baby wants to know if my patriotism and efforts to create dialog, discussion, and traffic as a conservative which equate to revenue are appreciated or not... No matter what my stance on faith might be.

Is the 1st respected here or not? If not what are the restrictive parameters limited to as a private domain? If only White Puritan Christians are allowed here then it needs to shared what sect exactly of hundreds??? A curious mind would like to know...

No... Humble has actually always had some rational equal respect. I get what his game is without and problem or issues. He gives it, I give it back. But one thing he does respect is honesty and being straight up.

He is ok, I like him, every site needs a class clown... lol

If that was your point then why bury the lede? Take a writing class. Print out these exchanges and show them to your teacher. She’ll steer you straight.

To be good member here, you must like me, Vladimir Putin, also ride motorcycle, wrestle bears, and seduce beautiful women.

Anyone else is BULLCRAP.

Those were the salad days. When clinton was finally gone and we celebrated together like it was, well, 1999. Until 9/11. And then .. the bottom fell out and we huddled together around here to support our fearless leader, W. Then the truth set in. And the cynicism began.
And grew through that disaster of a presidency until obama usurped his way into the Oval Office and with him the cynicism and anger grew. And patience and tolerance were true of only a lucky few around here.
We were given a gift when President Trump was elected! The fun came back here! But the coming onslaughts by the media, the courts, democrats, hollywood, the world toward PDJT just started wearing us all down.
To the point that when Biden and the Dems stole the 2020 elections and covid took over the world, we were spent.
We are once again getting it back together here, at home, everywhere
So excuse us if you’re warned you need sharp elbows and thick skin around here. That’s called survival armour.

He is an anti-God activist posting on a Pro-God website. It fits the definition of troll, at least for that subject matter. He deserved to be called on it.

I’ve been here for almost 24 years. I have no idea what you’re talking about.

If you don’t already, you should consider stand-up comedy.

I think I know your family Terry... I am from your neck of the woods... T Cameron was one of my best friends, good guitarist back in the day. I know Auggy, the Hernandezes, the Hickmans, and many others down there. And I went through school in the same class from grade school and out with Wayne. Wonder if he retired from the city yet?

I am who they used to call “The drunk Drummer” and had open protected pass to walk through the village at night back in the day. Still warm up to Rush everyday as an old fart... :)

There you go again with ‘mandates’. Point all of us where such mandates were put on you. You seem only capable of processing information in a straw-argument fashion. Take a critical thinking class.

Why don’t you post some proof of your accusations, so we can see what we’ve been missing all these years.


Because it likely does not exist.

This troll’s thread should be pulled....for pure ignorance, if nothing else.

You were the one who started it. Now you’re running away from that historicity throwdown.
