And then lock it so no one can respond?

How inspirational is that? 

CavemanBarney --- 9 years ago -

Even though I didn't feel the need to respond, I got inspired. 

whatchamacallit --- 9 years ago -

A better question would be, Why go onto a thread that was intended to inspire and trash the poster, make fun of their message and even their name? Then when it was locked, make another thread for the sole purpose of continuing the bashing?

Talk about a negative message. I don't blame them for not wanting to hear/see more of the foolishness that was posted there by some hateful people.

I did not see ANY post from that original poster that was negative or hurtful to anyone but I sure saw a number of people doing that to them for no reason. Apparently, locking is the only way they had of keeping people from changing the thread into an excuse to hurl insults. 

Dorothy Parker --- 9 years ago -

Do you feel better after those three paragraphs? So glad you took it out on me instead of someone in your home!

Are you inspired? :) 

AMDG --- 9 years ago -

Spot on what. Series of posts on the other thread, and now a new thread with the sole purpose denergrading, not disagreeing, not commenting, but denergrading the views of others simply because you disagree. 

whatchamacallit --- 9 years ago -

Seriously? Is that the only thing you got from what I said? I feel no better or worse because of what I wrote, what about you? Do you feel better after attacking them for no reason, then attacking again even when they had retreated by locking their thread, in an effort to get the attacks to stop? Bully 

Dorothy Parker --- 9 years ago -

Who is degrading anything?

You start a thread to inspire people then lock it. My question is, how is that inspiring?

Asking a question isn't degrading anyone. 

Dorothy Parker --- 9 years ago -

Get a sack, folks. Asking a question isn't bullying nor have I said anything about the content of the locked thread.

I asked how it is inspiring to start a thread then lock it? 

AMDG --- 9 years ago -

Asking a question isn't degrading anyone.

So your only purpose was curiosity? It must just be my own cynicism that detected a tone of sarcasm in your post. 

Dorothy Parker --- 9 years ago -

Perhaps that's the case. No sarcasm or cynicism intended.

When you're on an open forum, you take the good with the bad. If you start a thread to inspire people, Why would you let a few naysayers shut you down? Shouldn't the inspiration be stronger than that, if that was the true purpose?

That's my reason for starting this thread. If you shut down your message, how strong was it to begin with? 

AMDG --- 9 years ago -

In that case, sorry for my cynicism and misreading the intent of your thread. 

AMDG --- 9 years ago -

In that case, sorry for my cynicism and misreading the intent of your thread. 

WarriorBrideofChrist --- 9 years ago -

This must be the UNinspirational thread :) 

Dorothy Parker --- 9 years ago -

It is what it says it is: a question.

If I want to inspire someone, I do, if not, no worries. I wouldn't stop what I felt was inspiring because some folks disagreed with me. Haters gonna hate.

Someone on KU is inspiring?? 

Dorothy Parker --- 9 years ago -

I'm sure lots of people who post on KU are inspiring...but, maybe not so much when they're actually posting on KU. ;) 

them --- 9 years ago -

LOL. That's a bit too optimistic for this crowd.

WarriorBrideofChrist is not really a Christian. Just another attention-seeking poster on KU masquerading as someone with piety and good intentions. 

idontplaynice --- 9 years ago -

Double post 

mutton --- 9 years ago -

I just thought it was gonna be a music share thread, silly me... 

The Awe Inspiring JoelleDrees (Mod) --- 9 years ago -

I'm Awe Inspiring =) 

TinktheSprite --- 9 years ago -

Yeah, don't ever make a mistake on here. You'll be sure to be called out for it! 

mutton --- 9 years ago -

Lol tink! 

WarriorBrideofChrist --- 9 years ago -

Idontplaynice.. Jesus Christ is my everything. 

idontplaynice --- 9 years ago -

Idontplaynice.. Jesus Christ is my everything.


The more you speak, the more unbalanced you sound.

That's all great, saying "Jesus is my everything" but from my experience, people who swing to one extreme, also swing to the other when it comes to religion. 

WarriorBrideofChrist --- 9 years ago -

people who swing to one extreme,

? If you are referring to the pictures on this thread that I posted...it was a joke, bc I posted, what was supposed to be an inspirational christian music thread..Dp created what appears to be an UNinspirational thread..So as a joke I posted those UNinspirational pictures. This place is crazy. I see why JL left. Y'all ran him off too, bc anyone who loves God gets ran off this website. Exactly what is going on in our schools and the world in general. God already knew that Christians would be persecuted..it is written in His Word. Matthew 24. I will always worship the Lord my God and His Word will NEVER fade away. It isn't about me. It's about what Jesus Christ did for me and you on the cross. He changed my life and I am a very happy person and you can be too if you will accept Him as your Lord and Savior .. If you haven't already. I'm getting off of here this place is truly crazy. I certainly don't want to appear to be looking like i'm seeking attention for myself, that's not what I was trying to do. 

Leila --- 9 years ago -

I'm not sure what your intentions are but I am going to assume they are pure. My experience has been that the art of inspiring people usually does not take the form of posting "church-y" messages or pictures, especially one after another.

It you want to inspire people, set an example of faith and contentment in your day to day life. Live a life that will make someone ask what your secret is. People can find scripture anywhere. It isn't what brings someone to Christ. That all comes later in a person's journey.

I have noticed that some of the preachy-preachy stuff too often comes from a place of people wanting to elevate themselves above others, not to motivate and minister to them.

I am a Christian but so full of imperfection myself so I am not trying to point fingers at any one person or say I am any better than you are.

I am a Christian, and I do have a personal relationship with God and Jesus. I also know the Bible very well, having read it for many years.

With that said, I am an astute judge of a person's inner being. What I sense in you is not a very mature faith.

You are trying too hard and missing the point really. The Bible has a verse about that too. Something about don't be too holy.

Just relax, have fun, let others get to know you, and stop putting up that wall of piety.

It turns people AWAY from God rather than toward God.

The op's supposedly inspiring posts are transparently done just for attention. they must have no conviction in their beliefs which is why they locked it. 

AMDG --- 9 years ago -

From what I can tell all the woman did was post some songs she finds inspirational - maybe hoping it would inspire others.

I am pretty sure she is not a perfect Christian, I am pretty sure she may have some internal motivations more driven by ego than altruism, I am pretty sure of all of these things, because I am pretty sure she is a human being. And just like us all - imperfect, flawed, subject to ego - sometimes personally motivated.

Is the criticisms, or in some cases snide remarks she got to be expected on a message board, sure they are. But, they just as easily could have ignored the posts. I didn't see any thing too in your face, your going to hell if you don't believe, or even I'm right - your wrong in her posts - just links to songs.

Was kind of hoping they would just be ignored - guess that was a tad optimistic.

Jesus Christ is my everything.


Scary. 

them --- 9 years ago -

That reminds me... when does the Walking Dead come back on?
