Abuse of Caucus [whiner's caucus]
Self | 22 Feb 2011 | Natural Law

Posted on 02/22/2011 2:53:04 PM PST by Natural Law

An alarming trend is developing in the Free Republic Religion Forum in which a caucus identifier is being claimed for non-existent or impossibly defined groups. With the caucuses being self defined we see nonsense like the Sola Scriptura Caucus. Of course it doesn’t mean all Scripture, only the thread initiators or Forum Moderators definition of Scripture. Jews who believe in the Scripture of the Old Testament are excluded. Mormons, Seventh Day Adventists, and Jehovah’s Witnesses are excluded even though they believe in the sufficiency of their own versions of Scripture. The not so transparent purpose of these faux caucuses is clearly to exclude a group of FReepers in a modern day repetition of “Whites Only” and “Irish Need Not Apply” prejudice. If this is allowed to stand what will we see next; caucuses so narrowly defined so as to only include one’s bridge club or to exclude an individual FReeper? How about a caucus designation for everyone but citizens from New York? How about a men’s only caucus? How about a caucus for those of us who drive BMWs? And what is being discussed in these faux caucus threads? Critical doctrinal issues such as ruggedized aircraft, home schooling, and civil unrest in Egypt. Give me a break!

Very telling statement there.

by being rude .................I wanted to stay away from freerepublic.

This is the very reason you probably shouldn’t be on the open threads rahter do as the moderators suggest and go on the devotional or caucas threads which might be more to your liking. You do have a choice...or jsjust not come to the religious threads.

Additionally scroll button works very well to by pass those who you wouldn’t want to engage with...so you have many options.

Good points.

However, I don’t carry unforgiveness nor resentment more than moments. I certainly refuse to go to sleep on such.

I take The Lord’s Prayer quite seriously.

I also believe we are all fallen creatures seeing through the glass darkly.

I’m fierce against some things that are outrageous to God, as well—as clearly outlined in His Word.

However . . . I still care for every FREEPER and wish them the closest of relationships with God and those they love.

I’m persistently reminded . . .

The Pharisees didn’t crucify Christ

because what he told them about their hearts

was wrong

but

because

He was right.

We love Quix’s pictures! And they often break up the otherwise tension...seen and noted by most. Sometimes we laugh so hard everybody gets the giggles...photos lighten up the thread.

I didn’t say they have no place. It’s not my job to tell other people where their ideosyncracies should be placed.

I simply expressed the message they communicated to me, in case the poster had a different purpose and would like to know the approach was counter-productive.

It’s like telling someone their fly is unzipped. You aren’t ordering them to zip it up, just letting them know about something they might not have intended.

Thanks for your kind words.

They sure work for me that way! LOL.

Of course, I can understand that folks who constantly live in layers of thick denial . . .

would not be at all interested in a pic that would lay their heart values and heart attitudes bear in a flash.

All the worse posted by someone they despise for a list of shallow reasons.

I have

NEVER

pretended to be one size fits all.

God made it abundantly clear and painfully clear long long ago

that HE made me unique and would discipline me very harshly if I kept trying to do the impossible—to homogenize myself into some lowest common denominator personna.

He has His reasons. I’m along for the ride.

Remember... you’re under orders from on High to ignore certain comments....they come from the darkside to make you un-effective and sway your attention away from more significant matters.

Hello Boatmans... these threads have brought me far in dealing with those in the outside world...and in the workplace and this with favorable results,,,though not always seen as so to the ones I might have to address...but at the end of the day I have my say and they have something to chew on.

That’s a major role and goal of mine . . . as well as a major commision . . .

to leave . . . thought-bombs for Holy Spirit to light off over the following months and years.

Worth repeating.
