In her defense (again) while she was banned/away for ages, there were a number of religious threads around, and everyone seemed perfectly happy to bash religion in them. Put yourself in her shoes and imagine that people are insulting a major part of your life. Would you say nothing, or would you try to back up your beliefs? My bet is on the latter option.
Lay off the woman.
My point was not about her religious views, but about where she discusses them.
I'll do as i see fit, and I really don't think what I said was that harsh.
I don't believe in this psychology business and even if that is the case, the never-ending psychologist cycle that GWK mentioned is still a high-level insult.
Personally, I think she should visit a psychologist because she needs to get her mind sorted out. In fact, no. The psychologist would then need to visit another psychologist and it would start a never-ending cycle.
The most disgusting insult I've ever read. It also implies that psychologists are weak.
I would not be stupid enough to insult myself. I study psychology.G.W.K
You're not yet a psychologist, but if you were, would you be able to help pianistimo?
Help me with what? Take God out of my brain? God told us through the bible that it was exactly the Holy Spirit that we need to make us come out of our own ways of thinking and listen to His word instead of our own. Psychologists make up 'babble' to sooth the souls - but does it work in the long run. Only if the Psych uses Christian methodology. Christ used love on everyone. Demon possessed to high Roman officials. He treated them all the same and used reverse psychology a lot.It is more highly likely that I would affect GWK by influencing his spheres of power - naming Jesus over them and commanding them to leave.
In what way am i not 'getting along.' You make it sound like i'm limping or something. That I want to make people angry. It's not the case at all. I think there's rather an emergency situation going on in the world. I'm just yelling 'fire, fire' at short intervals.
I'll just be blunt and say I don't want you to get banned.
For all others, i suggest light topics that have nothing to do with religion.
wishies? fishies? dishies? if wishies were fishies the fishies would do the dishies.
Alistair, Jesus Christ did not sit people down and ask them how they were feeling. In fact, he rarely asked. He sometimes made them wait for lunch. Even when the food was there - he made them wait for a prayer of thanks. I think Jesus was all about teaching - and he didn't care if they ' didn't get it' the first time. There would be plenty more opportunities.
I'm not to the end of my Christian journey - so i can't say that i've reached some kind of peak. There are many high's and low's just like in everyone else's life. However, when you counsel or ask counsel - it's not going to be the same answer if you are asking someone who is as confused as yourself. You have to go to a higher power.
Politics isn't exactly a 'neutral' subject either. GWK may consider it a perfectly sane topic and since he doesn't live in the USA is not affected by it's power (or knows the powers of it and started the topic). So much for a psychologists way of thinking. ie let's get people worried. It will give me some business. Actually, he won't have to do much of anything - because no matter who gets elected - many people are going to immediately seek some help coping.
I would only take you gently to task for implying GWK's possible lack of understanding of certain matters American to the extent that his residence outside US does not of itself necessarily signify that he possesses a deficient grasp of what is going on there.
Will the real GWK stand up. Indeed what? Indeed you understand and claimed you didn't. Well, that's a shister.
anyways, vodka and cookies are probably a good idea at this point.
PS you are now on the Thal level. And Alistair level. That is level 10. Communist is also level 10. Whatever that means to you. anyways, vodka and cookies are probably a good idea at this point.
Beethoven got frustrated about this very thing but in a different context.
There is always disappointment in government and those that promote some kind of wonderful 'change.'
Take Napoleon, for instance.
Pouring a napoleon? I thought you ate them. Well, pour one for me, too.
My husband just passed by and said that piano forum wasn't helping me. helping me with what? ignoring him. Hmm. i suppose that he doesn't think about that when he reads an entire novel day to night yesterday. Retaliation is never good - however it is sometimes just what the doctor ordered. i am busy. terribly busy. on important pianoforum stuff. . . i AM crazy. ok.
Has anyone noticed how many threads are degrading into pianistimo and bashing pianistimo? Just a thought.
See my point? She does need a psychologist!
For all you know I could be a 50 year old male from Bulgaria.
Sir Thal is funny. Sir Hinton is one of the nicest guys around. I don't see how GWK can be compared to either of these two, except that they all put their name under a post (though Thal sometimes forgets). I don't know about Commie.
As I've said before, just because she goes around spouting religious babble (sorry pianistimo) on the forum doesn't mean that she does it in real life.
My husband just passed by and said that piano forum wasn't helping me.
Well, I thought exactly the same thing as her, so must I.G.W.K., I also study psychology, it doesn't make me qualified to insist that someone needs to see a psychologist. As I've said before, just because she goes around spouting religious babble (sorry pianistimo) on the forum doesn't mean that she does it in real life. You cannot condemn someone to a psychologist without knowing them and what they are like. A forum is not an accurate form of communicating this. For all you know I could be a 50 year old male from Bulgaria.
I will be the first to say it: I am sorry to hear that your husband has passed away
I think she said 'passed by' as in 'walked past'that's just my interpretation anyway.
LOL...oh dear. Well, if she did mean that...sorry! G.W.K
At the risk of making a somewhat off-topic remark (albeit a brief one), I am not - for the record - "Sir" anyone...Best,Alistair
Another plus for mom's at home - is that babies who are nursed have wayy more immunities to disease and infection.
Unfortunately your children will not be immune to the kind of virus that you spread
