ITHREAD

[road_captain]

This is my I-thread.

I AM [was] here first!

You wouldn't even be reading this if it weren’t for me.

You're here because of ME!

GOD gave me this I-thread.

If you've got something to say about it, DON'T.

This is "I" [MY] thread.

If you don't like it, GET OUT.

Is this the Prayer Force Thread?
What time is prayer meeting tonight? I wanna make sure that I make them all...so you don't think that I'm a sinner or something.
Are you gonna use this I-Thread prayer meeting as another business/church recruitment meeting for us to be inspired to invite new members?

I am so confused, there is this thread and the original thread and you both are telling me I need to be loyal to your thread to make it to threadven. What should I do? I cannot be loyal to both threads... how do I know what thread God is leading me to?

Maybe I should give up threading altogether.

It seems so political and human in origin.

[ntcctruth]

Well it's only obvious. The original Thread was God's thread...but they began to compromise and they stopped praying.
We started the I-Thread because we needed to preserve the Prayer Force for Gaaaawwduuh! (and allow the new I-Thread Poster to buy and rent real estate to his members so that he could build his own real estate empire)

LIES! ALL LIES!!
And if you'll ALL come to my seminar aah, I mean (Prayer Meeting) I will explain everything! I'll even through in a "Time Share!" or a toaster oven, which ever you perfer.

I hope this mockery hasn't come up because of a certain persons recent posts about trying to decide what church to go to... That would be pretty messed up in my opinion. People should be treated with respect and dignity, especially those that are confused and have come here looking for help..

A few of you posting on this thread are/were preachers.. Am I to take from what you have written here that you are heartless, selfish mockers that cannot see a persons need? Maybe not. But, that is what I see fellas....

"A few of you posting on this thread are/were preachers.. Am I to take from what you have written here that you are heartless, selfish mockers that cannot see a persons need? Maybe not. But, that is what I see fellas...."

One reason we left is because we didn't want to become heartless, selfish mockers that cannot see a person's need. It seems the higher one rises in the NTCC hierarchy, the more that becomes necessary.

Doesn't look like it worked Vic, at least in this case...

"Doesn't look like it worked Vic, at least in this case..."

Hey, I'm not the one sending the thief on the cross to hell.

[beentherealongtime]

Neither did I.

[beentherealongtime]

Besides that, how does that justify the kind of behaviour displayed above?

[victorjohanson]

I think the 'behaviour displayed above' is effective satire, which usually upsets its targets by illustrating some facet of truth with which they're uncomfortable.

[beentherealongtime]

Ok. So then your official opinion is, mock the confused so that they become upset and more uncomfortable along with confused.

I will say no more. In light of your explanation I believe more is being accomplished in our favor by this satire.

I always thought that to help someone you empathize, I guess I was wrong but I will gladly continue in my ignorance. Carry on.

[victorjohanson]

Mock the confused? Are you admitting that your leaders are confused? They are the targets of this satire, not Okie.

[beentherealongtime]

That is what I was wondering in the first sentence of my first post here. You must have missed it. You have to admit that the timing of this thread is kind of odd..

That you mock ntcc is nothing new, I wouldn't have even commented about that. It is the possible targeting of the vulnerable that got me going.

[victorjohanson]

"That you mock ntcc is nothing new, I wouldn't have even commented about that. It is the possible targeting of the vulnerable that got me going."

Well rest easy then; your outrage is unfounded. I have nothing but sympathy for Okie and his plight and am merely trying to help him avoid some trouble down the road by pointing out that the solution to his problem is not limited to the two choices he has been considering.

At least that's my perception. Anyone here mocking Okie? Steve, did you start this thread for that reason?

[not_surprised]

BTALT,

I wish you could see how NTCC targets the vulnerable for financial gain.

[road_captain]

Ha! No, Vic I didn't. As a matter of FACT, Okie Posted After this thread was started!! Besides I haven't mocked anyone at ntcc! Only what so called "banana boy" did!
(not my words)
This was all done in fun "at least on my part"

You see how hard the Thread can be?? And we all know it's the Poster of the other Thread!! That's why you need to stay with me on I-Thread!!!
(and so it continues)
