  I can see you live in your own little world and choose to leave reality out of the mix.
  
  It's a shame you open this thread with the intent of claiming to ponder leaving....yet you want to share something good?
  
  Either way, stay or leave? Make a decision and be done with it.

  Pondering leaving? Although I disagree with the way you express yourself at times, I admire anyone who is so willing to stand up for their beliefs. Instead of leaving, why not change your approach a bit? People aren't getting angry because of WHAT you say, they are getting angry because of how you say it.
  
  Sometimes it is better to keep silent when you feel you are being personally attacked. The more you respond, the more cruel their comments will become. The more cruel their comments become, the more frustrated you will become. The more frustrated you become, the less people will take you seriously.
  
  You must also remember that people have the right to their own opinions, whether you agree with them or not. You're not going to change the world by sitting in front of your computer, making rather harsh judgments about people whom you've never met. You can't win people over by being negative. Instead, be kind and focus on the positive parts of your beliefs. Take a step back once in awhile and think, "Hm, how would I feel if someone were saying these things to me? ...How can I rephrase this so it sounds more positive?"
  
  I do hope you'll stay, Brenda. Although I am not Christian, I have found your everlasting presence in the forums a comfort, in a way. When I open a controversial thread, I know without a doubt that you're going to be there.
  
  Maybe take a few days off from HubPages before you make your decision?

  Thank you for the congrats!
  
  I was considering leaving.
  
  Reasons included disgust at what I perceive as a certain liberal agenda.
  
  But I'm stubborn, and am staying so far because I like a lot of people here, and because I have violated no rules of conduct and because I'm an American citizen with rights to free speech.
  
  I'm stubborn that way.

We may disagree on some things, Brenda, but if I may offer a bit of (perhaps unwanted) opinion on the matter: Don't let the people and posts around here bug you so! You've a right to your opinion, they've a right to theirs...and if they dissolve into childish name-calling so be it--Don't give folks the satisfaction of pushing you around with empty, silly words.

I'm all for free will and doing what you choose, so I would never tell you that you *should* stay or you *should* go...but I would suggest doing either one as a consciously chosen action rather than an emotional RE-action...I think I've seen you say something pretty similar to others before

Just a thought. Never let 'em see you sweat.

  you better believe he is! Last time I looked anyway! ha
  
  He's....quite an enigma in many ways. Totally opposite of me in many ways. Younger than me; ambitious and perplexing, smart as a whip; The product of a manipulative, confusing and confused life that only got redeemed by the blood of the Lamb of God (but then, that's the only redemption anyone has!) He has quite a testimony if and when he chooses to share it with lost souls.
  
  We fought like crazy about the first 3 years, actually. A relationship made between a gradually-backsliding, rebellious divorcee (me) and a troubled, worldly, but seeking man (him).
  Our only hope ended up being, of course, intervention by---you guessed it--God.
  "A threefold cord is not quickly broken."
  
  I'm handing out what seems like too much information here because it's...an occasion to witness to the mercy of the Lord. I know what it's like to be in a backslidden position. I know what it's like to rebel against the Word. I know what it's like to be in need of His Salvation and not even admit it at the time. I know what it's like to be lost. \
  
  He must've given an angel charge over me, because I was certainly in a low low place for several years of my life, and I'm afraid I would've died in my sins if He hadn't been so merciful, and His Spirit so convicting.

No, you've never said anything to hurt me. Thanks for your understanding.

But it might tick off some people who think I shouldn't "preach"....

I may concentrate more on hubs though. I have several unfinished, unpublished. Something to shoot for I guess.

But I guess the best thing is that I've found many people here who are such fun and so interesting. What would people do without each other? A person being alone is the worst thing I can think of.

  Mark, it's strange that God hasn't told me that yet. Wonder why?
  Maybe I haven't asked Him yet...or maybe He thinks it really is okay. Did that ever occur to you?
  
  At any rate, I put "preach" in quotations because I'm not a preacher in the usual sense; I feel no calling to be a Pastor or stand in a pulpit. I "preach" through my poetry and by engaging in discussion about God, etc. I probably do it more fervently than many women, yes....
  
  P.S.
  GOD is always right. Your interpretation isn't always right.

Brenda Durhamposted 13 years ago
haha yeah that about sums it up, darkside.
But I am still pondering!
When one door closes, another one opens. I dunno whether to close the door or not.

@ Mark, like I said, I think there's a Biblical difference between actually being a Preacher, and spreading the Gospel in whatever way a person (woman or man) finds access and ability to.
AND wherever there's a NEED for it. The need is the main thing. The Word must go out, and will go out, to a lost people!
The USA for sure has a need for some bold Preachers in the public eye! Where are they? Rick Warren? Yikes! That man compromised his Biblical stance publicly the day he spoke his watered-down, tolerant speech at Obama's Inauguration. It wouldn't surprise me if MORE women didn't start "preaching" boldly if a strong MAN doesn't step up to the plate!
Telling people about Jesus isn't restricted to just males, anyway. Speaking Truth isn't limited to males.

  Brenda I do not know you and am just catching up. Don't leave. Just write and find a happy place. If you are addressed in a forum in a way that you do not wish to respond, then don't. This is a wonderful opportunity for people the world over to meet and share our lives with each other. Even among our closest friends and relatives we, at times, agree to disagree.
  This does not make us any less friends or family. Whether we are lead by God or a need for connection with others, whether we are religious or political in our views, it is a place for all of us. You would be missed if you left, even if I do not know you yet.

  I know.
  There's even the Scripture about casting pearls too. Boy does that one get people's hackles up (at least when we don't keep it to ourselves! ha).
  
  Honestly, it isn't about having the last word, with me! I'm so fearful for people's souls. Doesn't matter whether people believe that or not, it's true.
  Why I do that is because the Lord God Himself gave warning after warning after warning to a people He loved but who had backslidden, and to sinners whose souls He wanted saved. Time after time, like a father teaching his kids, like a broken record over and over in the hopes that someday they'd GET IT! He didnt' consider them stupid, He just considered them foolish and subject to temptation.
  
  That's how I see it too....
  
  I'm editing to say I consider myself foolish too, horribly foolish without the help of the Lord....
  Didn't want anyone to take that wrong...

A door needn't close. Not for good.

I see hubpages and similar sites as boxes. Boxes with interesting things in it. I play with those interesting things. If I get a little bored with one I don't throw it away or destroy the contents, I put it aside and play with another box. Later I'll come back to the original box and I may have more insight, wisdom and understanding on how to properly play with those things inside (not to mention fun).

The bonus, and where the wheels of this analogy fall off completely, is that you can make money even while you 'neglect' a site that is set up for residual passive income.

  Mint chocolate chip is my favorite flavor of ice cream...particularly from a company called Green's(who unfortunately does not serve the area in which I currently live). They had the creamiest mint ice cream and filled it with thin flakes/slivers of pure, wonderful milk chocolate that melted on the tongue like snowflakes. Bliss.
  
  They also made cherry chocolate chip that was to do die for (and I don't like cherry anything!); they're the only company I know of who makes that flavor.
  
  Anybody else know the company?

  I was living in Maryland at the time, and I have a sneaky suspicion that they're a small company serving a limited region
  
  I haven't been able to find their ice cream in West Virginia...BUT we DID just start getting UTZ potato chips (which I believe are made in PA and only shipped to a limited area as well) so there may be hope.

  Find their website, find their email and complain that you can't find their ice cream any where and you know that where you live a lot of ppl would buy their ice cream. I did that and now we have a CiCi's in San Diego as well as The Melting Pot I got all my friends to do it too. so if you bring it to their attention then maybe they'll do the research and possibly send out their ice cream to your area.
