i tend to speak in riddles, and getting a straight answer out of me is indeed a notable moment. while i may act a little crazy, i am actually quite lucid and tend to be the voice of reason. my sanity is in a good balance with my insanity.
how mad are you?

All right… no post yesterday. Sorry to all of those of you who came here desperately wanting to hear from me…. I hope you made it through.
I don’t know if this just happens to me, or if it happens to other people, but it is a strange thing that I notice from time to time. People, seemingly at random, seem to decide they don’t want to talk to me anymore for awhile. Generally they eventually seem to come back out of this state, but I don’t really understand it. There are a couple people right now that seem to be doing this.
I certainly don’t feel as though I have done anything to warrant it or anything… I the cases of one of them…. I hardly EVER see her… and her not talking to me has been, you know, on Instant Messenger… I see her on a lot… send her IMs a lot, but… she never responds… I don’t get it. But this is not nearly the first time it has happened.
Anyway, in Systematic Theology I have been finding out that I largely disagree with portions of like all denominations. Anyway, my major disagreement with A/G is this: the fact that anyone who has been divorced since conversion cannot become a licensed or ordained minister. And I’ll tell you why that bugs me. The basis of Christianity is forgiveness and the idea that God can change people. By saying that a person who has been divorced cannot be ordained, you are, either intentionally or unintentionally, exhibiting to people incomplete forgiveness. Because to me that communicates that the A/G does not believe that God can use that person. In a sense, I can understand why they might make that policy, but I still do not agree with it.
Ummm.. all for now. I’m sick of writing 😉
“Old friend, your horse is ready to ride when morning comes. From this church town where damning rumors drip from holy tongues.
And it won’t go away,
it won’t go away,
it won’t go away.
The fever to find the scapegoat fast and fix the blame.
I know you never meant to leave the way you came.
And it won’t go away,
it won’t go away,
it won’t go away.
Looking down from their stain glass steeples
they’ll never know why you had to run.
Ride as fast as you can, they’re shooting to kill.
Ride as fast as you can, they’re shooting to kill.”

i, too, have pondered that point while studying A/G polity.
Haha, were the same evil… you VEGAN!!! well then now that thats out of my system. hmm.. more a/g stuff eh??? well then about the divorce thing… its rather simple if you ask me, if your divorced you lose part of that whole God dislikes divorce aspect so you cant be a pastor cause you arnt a good example in that area. by the way you are allowed to marry a divorced person now (as long as they were divorced before convertion) and you can be a pastor if you have a divorce but yep, you guessed it… before conversion
