A few days ago, after witnessing blatant hypocrisy by certain members of a
particular Caucus in Washington D.C, I decided to start my own Caucus here on Freerepublic.
(Please note: This is a "King James Bible Believers Caucus" thread,
if you disagree that the KJB is the preserved word of God, this is not the thread for you.)
FREE REPUBLIC'S CAUCUS RULES:
Who can post? Members of the caucus and those specifically invited. What can be posted? Anything but the beliefs of those who are not members of the caucus. What will be pulled? Reply posts mentioning the beliefs of those who are not members of the caucus. If the article is inappropriate for a caucus, the tag will be changed to open. Who will be booted? Repeat offenders.
OIC.
Then it would rationally follow that the caucus designation within religion forum is improper classification for "what you are trying to do". I see that a forum moderator has changed the bracketed;
What you are undeniably advocating could be described as King James Only Movement which is but a subset of religious thought (and belief) while having attempted to silence (through caucus designation) any who disagreed with those particular thoughts.
Take a look around. You have lost that battle.
I am a long-term veteran of this forum. I've spent quite a lot of time in the "religion" sub-forum of FR. No 'snowflake' here, FRiend, more like a battle-scarred vet -- if you only knew what I've been through here on the FR RF when it comes to dealing with game-playing mind-trippers with mouthfuls of accusation they hurl at any who dare oppose their "thinking".
I know the rules, and understand pretty well the reasons & rationales behind the how & why those those came into existence.
Obviously, a moderator, possibly a (or "the") Religion Forum moderator agreed enough with what myself and others were trying to tell you, that they at least removed the caucus designation. Are FR forum moderators "snowflakes" too, for having done so?
Now it's wide open to discuss King James Bible. That could be a good thing. As long as participants take care to not toss "the baby" out with the bathwater...

You tell me who is top priority in lying Ryan’s plots... Republican donors, who he took the time to assure they would be care for in his tenure as Speaker of the House... When has this punk ever came out and spoke to ‘we the people’ about his intentions.
Look at the hand that points the accusatory finger. How many fingers point back at you?
I wasn't trying to ban much of anything (other than your attempt to misappropriate religion forum rules). That question was already answered in reply #70 (and before that, too).
IN the future could you try to avoid forcing me to need repeat myself? Seriesly.
The problem with FC is they knew that full well going in, it's not like they were blindsided. So, again what moral high ground does FC stand on, in opposing anything Ryan does? He is the leader they voted for, maybe they held their nose when they voted, but they did vote for the lying, scoundrel.
Why, not take the gloves off, play hard ball, stand up for your closely held "principles", no matter the cost, when it really could have spared everyone the mess we are in now.
Because if they did, then horror of horrors, they would not get the plumb committee chairs, or the funds for pet projects.
We just have to face reality.
previous [above] reply intended for [above] addressee
FC has no moral high ground to stand on.
Boy, Hypocrisy was the perfect topic for the first thread. And that title will always stand, as a witness against you and any others here that sell out true conservative principles.
New king James O’k?
If you value the NKJV, you can join, all I ask is when you are posting Bible verses, use the KJB, that way, there is no confusion with those who are here for King James Bible discussions.
This is still in the religion forum, where we are supposed to not make it personal.
I have sold out nothing much that I'm aware of. I don't think the Congressional Freedom Caucus did either.
They would have though, had they had gone along with the Ryan/Trump approved proposal. As far as I can tell, the Freedom Caucus opposed it on principle that the legislation Ryan proposed did not repeal ObamaCare, leaving far too much of it extant & intact. Which goes very strongly against the promises those legislators made to repeal the ACA, going also against 'conservative principles' you are accusing them (and ME) of being hypocritical about.
Do you have a passage of King James Bible that would directly address this issue (of yourself quite possibly having things very much backwards)?
What's the real beef? Is it that ObamaCare will now not be repealed? That's a possibility, but the Ryan plan didn't necessarily repeal the increasingly affordable ACA anyhow. OR -- are you upset that the FC went against Trump?
What was left as "later we'll get around to it, promise-promise" [just trust us!] was that there would be further action taken which would result in reduction of recent health care insurance premiums.
That's no way to negotiate. There is no reason to trust they (House & Senate) would be able to do that, not as long as the larger bulk of ObamaCare legislation was still in effect.
Are there no mirrors in your house? James 1 (KJV);
22 But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.23 For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass:
24 For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was.
Hearers of the word. That does not include the House Freedom Caucus need set aside the Word (of God) for word (and in the future promises!) of Ryan, and by extension, President Trump.
If there is some biblical principle the FC has set aside/contravened, then please, feel free to make the case. Take a shot at it. Make it good. Here's the big chance.
The target, with imprinted image of a big buck, has lifted it's head so to speak (got buck fever yet?).
If 10-ring bullseye is too much ask, at the least, put it on the paper, would you? I've got the spotting scope set up nearby. Missing the target cleanly (not touching it, at all) would be sin, at this time. Pretend you're hunting, and you've got only one chance.
You sir/madame are more suited for the commissar, than for a Free Republic.
I said; make the case. In other words; establish your contentions.
But this;
"...but because of members like you, members with snowflake tendencies, who run off to the mods, (your safe space) because of your incapability of dealing with the equal treatment of others in the forum, who post nothing more than WORDS that you find objectionable, removed from your sight.is delusional. You did not break paper. Not even a remote corner. If hunting, the buck would be long gone.
You coulda' at the least filled the sights with fur then squeezed off a round in a big 'ol hurry. But no, you shoot at me personally, instead. That there is a range violation, here on the "religion" forum of FR.
And you should be barred from "the range". There should be; No more starting threads in "religion forum" for you. Not until you are willing to abide by the rules.
Take it (any subsequent thread you may chose to OP) to Bloggers and Personal, or go see General Chat.
Meanwhile, when posting in the religion forum, do try to keep the personal insults, and editorial commentary regarding my own self (or anyone else too, for that matter) to your own self. Doing so makes it easier for everyone to abide by the rules and avoid flamewars.
Sorry, you lost your debating privileges with me, at least on the hypocrisy topic. Next time try to restrain your totalitarian tendencies, by not running to your safe space, whenever like minded people try to gather in a forum that is supposed to allow such things.
But if by moving this thread to another category, will make you and all your snowflake companions go away, than by all means, I’ll leave. Bye!
I'm supposed to stand here and take guff from the likes of you?
In the religion forum we are supposed to refrain from personal attacks. It was never about me or anyone else "running to our safe spaces". but WAS about equitable consideration and treatment that YOU refused to constrain yourself within.
Good lord what whining baby you are. Keep your next next load of hypocritical garbage OFF the religion forum. Period.
Believe me I won’t touch that “religion” forum, with a ten foot pole. Please return the courtesy!
What is wrong with the New King James Version (NKJV)?

The King James Bible vs. The New International Version

You must mean won't touch it again. It was yourself who posted this thread in the religion forum, going for a 'caucus' designation TOO in the first place! This thread is still in the religion forum. But you "won't touch" it "with a ten foot pole". Must be entertaining to watch you type. (think about it).
Now it appears you also would require the rest of FR in entirety to be your own "safe space"?
Ha!
It's all blown up now. Why keep digging? Just 'cuz you're in a crater? There's no escape 'down there'.
