Are trauma survivors too attached to their trauma?

I would not make such a claim even if it were true. Of course I know them. They were drilled into me for 25 years.

It is not possible to know [and believe] the teachings of Christ and to still get caught up in religious cults.

So you think it’s ok to to judge people based on false assumptions and call them fools? Seems like selective obedience to the words of Christ.

My statement about you and your conduct is not based on assumptions but only on what you have said clearly here about yourself. The word 'fool' and words synonymous to it, have appeared in the bible hundreds of times, many used by Jesus and the Apostles. It describes a certain type of individual who repeatedly does things that are stupid, dangerous or fatal and which can lead to damnation. To encourage stupid people [like you] to persist in their stupidity, by not calling it out, is what is a sin. When my time comes [and it surely will], to justify my words I am able to do it. Dont worry about me. Worry about yourself. You are a man who is condemning another man that is trying to get people to follow the teachings of Christ. The bible refer to you as a satan. Be careful.

I am all for the teachings of Christ. I have never condemned you for telling people to obey Christ. All I’m saying is that if you practice what you preach people might actually listen to you.

I have no reason to believe that Rajk999 does not practice what he preaches. I think he is pretty wise not to give away details of how he walks his Christian life. I know where he lives and I know a bit about his life but he has never boasted to me about his good works, so to speak. I don't see why he should. His schtick here has always been theological. As he says sometimes, people who want to chat about other stuff can do so on Facebook.

A reply to the point I made would be more interesting than silly banter.

You’re so naive aren’t you?

Some genuine meekness there Raj?

Of course. You think I would say something so stupid?

Are all your comments so pointless ?

Naïve? I have been in your shoes and it did not take me long to figure out what to do. I cannot believe that any adult [unless severely retarded] will get caught up with a cult. You sound like a lamebrained excuse maker.

Silly banter is all the poor guy is capable of. If he were smart [and God was guiding him], no cult leader would have been able to fool him.

Thanks for that FMF. I have noticed that people who enjoy commenting / boasting about their personal lives to the public, invariably end up detracting from their more serious comments about the main issue of spirituality. Sometimes they end up [like in the case of dj2becker] making utter fools of themselves.

Good works, should ideally be between you and God. As Jesus said, those who boast already have their reward and those who do not will be rewarded by God.
