Here is my question: If these free speech restrictions actually do go in place as Ingrid has described them, will she be willing to lose the radio license rather than adjust her speech? Whom does she serve, God or man?

“Now Christian men can admire not only her stance for marriage but her measurements. Truly, a Christian female men can support.”

Ingrid has a penchant for suggesting lust on the part of Christian “males”. That is real discernment on her part. I got news for Ingrid, all men deal with lust including Christian husbands you may know. It will be cold day where the Boogie Man lives before most of us ever watch a beauty pageant.

Let it go, Ingrid, only God know men’s hearts. At least that is what I’ve been told. I continue to find it extremely unbiblical and repugnant to see someone’s wife cast a blanket aspersion on Christian men, I’m sure God calls men to do that.

I only answer my friends on Facebook, Chad. You defriended me.

Yeah! I am safe also! We were never friends on Facebook… I know who my real friends are… and did not make the mistake of letting someone who calls himself a friend but wants to only harm me and others.

OH and I have 348 an climbing as far as friends! (just a little joke that PB, Jerry and I have had going on)

I just don’t like idea of “name names so I can keep on doing what I’m doing and feel good about myself even though my conscience has been pricked.”

It reminds me of the narcotics officer who started off doing the right thing with the best of intentions, only to become a huge addict in the end.

The real proof that you passionately care about God’s Word is not found supremely in posts about doctrine, but it is most recognizable when your stand costs you something among your friends.

Mike posts used to be predominantly devotional, but almost every post now is offerred in the context of an “us vs. them” structure with the emphasis on “us” as defenders of God’s truth, or as he describes himself in his current post,

“these believers are mighty warriors for the truth who stand firm defending it, but at the same time, they like their example Christ, do not defend self. They may take the abuse of those who hate the truth, but, being meek, they will hack to pieces the enemies of God, but will not raise their sword to defend self. God may have them take severe abuse that they may be found worthy to suffer shame for the name, but they will never compromise.”

Mighty warriors for the truth? Hack to pieces the enemies of God? Will not raise their sword to defend self? God may have them take severe abuse?

This is a unique example of how so many ODMs have an elevated self image of their importance in God’s sight and their own. I love the “will not defend themselves” part. Let someone somewhere write something about them and they show up to present their case and defend themselves.

The American definition of severe abuse is much different than other definitions around the world. I’ve been called all sorts of names too, but I would hardly call it abuse. We can rest easy knowing there will not be any correction within the ODM community, only to those without the camp.

Mike is a genuine follower of Christ but he has been scooped up into the self serving world of the discernment blogs which includes hyperbole, soul judgment, and a consistent diet of subtle and overt self praise.

Joe took issue with that, Neil took issue with Joe, but yet no one hinted that the other was not a brother in Christ. They had a minor scrap, but I am confident it will not affect them in the future. Isn’t that what being a brother in Christ is all about? Forgiveness? Forbearance? And just the maturity to move on?

And when Joe’s manhood was aattacked, I defended him as best as I know…
