there are several that i am sure we can name that make claims such as "we are the only true church" or "we are the only true christians" or even that "no one can see the truth unless they are in contact with our church to teach it".

and these ones judge others by placing everyone outside their group in "spiritual darkness".. isn't this the same thing as jesus' early disciples asking "who is the greatest in the kingdom?

Some posters need the power they feel when they put others down it make them feel smart feel big. Remember they can not hurt you it is only words. With that said I will take to task anyone that get nasty too others on this board and will let them know they are out of line. I PM others that have been victims of the nasty posters and let them know I care what they have to say. I had a thread on 911 on this thread I had two posters that got very nasty too me with their remarks I will never forget who these two posters are. One of the posters after battling PMed me and gave me a genuine apology and said he had too quit the board for a while because the board was no longer challenging for him, he apologized too me for his post and has since not posted even once The other poster him and I will be posting buddies on the board, he has gotten the picture he needs to be nicer to others and I hope he like challenges because this winter when I am off work I am going to have some fun with him.
