Rant Thread-Tell 'em off Thread

I want the kind of church that will preach that yesterday, in history,
Jesus Christ,
a man who never hurt anyone or committed any crimes,
someone who was only famous for healing both the wretched and the rich; their incomes didn't matter to Him,
Healed the people of Israel and even the Romans - their belief systems didn't matter to him when he healed them and their loved ones,
Someone who was falsely accused but brought up on trumped-up charges anyway,
Someone who was homeless for three years prior to his execution, owned only one garment, that was the extent of his worldly goods,
Someone who was a terrible capitalist,
Gets a Big Fat F for capitalism!

He was crucified yesterday on trumped-up charges and murdered.

I want a church that teaches that Jesus - not Future Jesus, coming back in the clouds in glory, i.e. Spaceman Jesus.
Not Spreadsheet Jesus. ("Let's look at our church growth plan for this year, shall we?")

I want a church who would see a homeless person who owns one garment and SEE that person is basically living just like Jesus did for three years, therefore, he/she is worthy of everything.

Not worthy of immediate condemnation because they are poor. Not worthy of immediate condemnation because they are not homeowners or even car owners.

Worthy of HONOR and RESPECT, because I think that is the whole point of the crucifixion story, or one of the major points. I think the crucifixion story is supposed to teach us that we people are frickin' blind when it comes to truth and soul. The truth about OURSELVES. And that includes pastors, priests and teachers. Many of them are blind as **** too.

I have not found such a church yet. I think maybe John Fugelsang has to get ordained and preach and then I could attend his church.

I thought I'd resurrect this thread as we all have something to gripe about at times.

I'm just so tired of caring what most people think about me anymore.

I'm not going to let it concern me unless they hold a very special place in my life. Most don't pay my bills , or do anything more for me than complain about things or have an unfavorable opinion of me, my, my health concerns, or my character. I have good people helping and loving and caring about me.

And thanks so much if you are one of them šŸ˜Š!!

I believe most on SF think nice thing about you, RA. I certainly do. šŸ¤—

Edited to add:
I have difficulty understanding why you would make such a rude remark about @hollydolly. While the two of you may not be great friends, saying on another thread that she wishes you dead is beyond the pale and deserves a retraction and apology.

I think I may have been the one that upset you last night. That was not my intention, I truly am worried about the health issue you spoke about last night. I was not in any way being trying to hurt your feelings.

I was speaking of personal experience. My husband experienced much the same thing. We were just sitting in the den talking. The son asked Dad why are your jeans wet there. He says I don't know my arm seems to be sweating all the time now. I looked and I said, it is swollen. Son told him he has to go to the doc. It all started right there. Things went downhill, I learned how to do lymphatic massage and wrap his arm to control it. This was required morning and night for 5 years. Lymphedema can be an underlying health issue that people have no idea why it is happening.

Again, I was not trying to hurt your feelings. I am truly concerned that if you are having this issue you need to see and discuss with your doctor. I was expressing true concern for your wellbeing.
You have got to learn that people here do care and will respond if they think you are in trouble. I am not being judge mental. I suffer from depression and anxiety and sometimes we just get
overwhelmed with the pain we are in, the fear, the loneliness, the sadness. It is good to reach out, to share, to let others in. What is not acceptable is hurting others due to our own issues. I wish you only the best and hope in future you can just start a thread and share your pain and ask for help.

Gum. People who spit out their gum in places where someone else might step on it and get it stuck to the bottom of thier shoe. :mad:

A DNA analyis should be done on that gum to determine who spit it out and they should be hunted down and executed.

Maybe they should have to wear it on their noses. Remember those school days? Those teachers were obviously very PO.
 
To the man who wasted 40 minutes of anyone's life only taking about YOURSELF:
1. You are boring.
2. All the stuff you own does not impress me.
3. Your foreign born wife also doesn't impress me.
4. I left wondering if she married you for a Green Card and your money - but that's for you to figure out, I guess.
5. I don't know if you really are a Christian as you claim, but again, that's none of my business.
6. I also don't understand why you talk about STUFF so much. I don't know who you are. Has anyone reminded you that when you die, which may be pretty soon based on what you told me, ALL of that crap stays here. All of it. Not one penny will impress God. Not one.
7. I don't feel sorry for you. You got what you wanted out of life, which was a lot of crap and the ability to lord that over people, so I do not feel sorry for you one bit.
8. I don't like you. I chatted with you to be socially polite. I very much regret that now since you are a Black Hole. But, live and learn.

Amazon Prime. I am now 25 days into my 30 day free trial and I am not going to sign up for it after that. I signed up mainly for the streaming benefit and while I did manage to binge watch a couple of good series, "The English" and "American Rust" I found that most of the other good programs were ones that I would have to pay for. On top of that they make you watch commerials. And most of the free stuff that they let you watch is garbage. Movies staring "Nobody you ever heard of" who couldn't act their way out of a wet paper bag. So I'm supposed to pay $139 a year or $14.99 a month and still watch commercials? No way!

I hate xFinity/Comcast so much. For years, I've been having my bill paid by their Autopay function out of my checking account. So all of a sudden, this morning I see that there's this month's payment to xFinity pending out of one of my credit cards. What the heck? So I wander around inside my xF acct and finally find the Autopay section--it's well hidden--and yep, it says it's set to come out of that credit card.

So I get in a chat session with an xF rep--and it took just about an hour, I kid you not, between each reply. They claim that I changed the Autopay to my credit card back on August 20. I tell the rep I most certainly did not and furthermore, I'd like to know how they even got my credit card number since I've never used it for anything xFinity-related. He says they don't have access to my credit card numbers on their end. I say, you most certainly do too or how else did you charge my card?! No response yet (of course not).

So I've got it set back to charge my checking account but I guess I'd better check it frequently. And you know what else? Back years ago when the Autopay first got set up, I didn't do it, xF did without my permission! And at that time I argued and argued with them--at that time you could actually talk to a live person--and they kept saying they'd take my account off Autopay and start sending me a paper bill again but they never did, so I gave up.

I hate 'em so much. I'd completely dump them but they have the best Internet by far around here and Huzz doesn't want to change anything, sigh.

Thanks for listening.
 
Yesterday I was overwhelmed with anger. It took over my entire day. Mad at this forum, mad at people in my way in the street, mad, mad, mad. Just came upon me. I know the reason I'm boiling. The problem is there is residual anger today. I don't like it. It's bothering me. I have no real outlet for it. I'll just have to wait and see and at least try to be more meditative about it. My health is suffering from it.
 
Today I'm ranting at the Bluetooth function (what makes the wireless mouse work) on my laptop: all of a sudden, it's decided to keep shutting itself off and my techy guy can't get here 'till the end of next week.

Annnnd, right after the air conditioner guy came and did the 6-month check on our A/C earlier today and said everything's fine, a great big error message came up on the control and now we got no A/C and it's 93F outside. And they can't get anybody back out 'till tomorrow morning.

Thanks for listening.
