Anna, there is nothing about you that I dislike. I have never felt that way. Since my post was deleted I can not go back and accurately refer to it, but I never said you could not speak Truth. I believe I said I did not know if what was said against your church was inaccurate or accurate as I did not have enough information myself to know, but I do know that many people over the years have stated something as truth when in fact there was error in it, and that only God has full truth (paraphrased). I was not trying to silence anyone, in fact I am rarely for freezing anything because I do appreciate polite back and forth between people and even if something gets a bit heated, it usually works itself out for good. I did not make the freeze decision, but I support the decision to do so. I was only giving a caution to ALL and stated that it was NOT pointed at you, just that you had been the most recent one to make such a statement.
Hopefully you now know that I do not dislike you at all. Never have, and can't see why I ever would. If I had a personal issues with you or anyone else, I would have a private conversation with you/them so we could have clarity on the why. Usually though, my own issues with someone is often stemming from something that links to my own life and I remain silent so as not to project my stuff on someone else.
Thank you for your kind words, Pam.
Perhaps I am to some degree projecting "my own stuff" as you put it.
I spent a few years of childhood in a very toxic "Christian School" environment - perhaps I am just too easily hurt as a result.
My apologies for any offense I have caused.
