Looks like you have suffered at the hands of and cost to your family. God's love is the message of the gospel. Apparently, you were not exposed to that part. Love is there. BTW, an atheist is not necessarily a bad person and the enemy. They are just sinners. I just want people to know they can be forgiven from sin.

Try 279, 302 and 308, for a start. #279 - Not relevant to my personal statement. #302 - I do not know, please tell me. #308 - Now this is the one that got billvon's attention. As tactfully as I can state, if you announce you are a hobo that means you are a non-employed drifter. If that is not true, how would anyone know differently? I try to be transparent, what you see is what you get. I am not afraid of what other's think of me. I don't care if you do not believe what I believe. What else do you wish to know? I would take this back channel if I could. Please Email me and we can stop wasting bandwidth in SC. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit.

Yes, that is an example. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant. Let your soul absorb them.

I agree that is a lousy job. Interrogation should never involve yes/no questions. I am not debating the reliability of torture. I do not agree with the concept that creating fear constitutes torture. We all live with fear every day. We all determine the level at which we are willing to manage that fear. I have no problem with creating an interrogation environment where the level of fear is beyond the individual's level of acceptable risk. You have pointed out that it is against the law. Therefore, my opinion doesn't mean squat. So, what are you getting at here? Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant.

War happens when diplomacy and problem solving have failed. At that point, winning the war is the only desirable outcome. Diplomacy and problem solving is above my pay grade and I suspect above yours as well. You and I are subordinates who take and follow orders. As I stated earlier, if I was in mortal combat, if I had to do field interrogation, I would follow the orders given to me by my OIC. If I was ordered to interrogate with extreme prejudice, I would. If I was ordered to question with out creating any discomfort, I would comply with that order as well. If I was ordered by my pastor to interrogate a new member in our worship circle, I would invite the individual to share a meal with me. The point of my post #29 was to show that in the field you can justify killing the enemy easier than justifying creating mental anguish. That just doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me. War is not a social disagreement. War is all or nothing. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant.

Was it to allow everyone equal opportunity to express their bias and prejudice? Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant. Let your soul absorb them.

I have nothing to do with organized religion. For me the emphasis of importance is on the song, not the singer. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant. Let your soul absorb them.

Now there's a plan I like. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant. Let your soul absorb them.

I refer you to post #322. Please restate your question. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant. Let your soul absorb them.

The sad truth is you are correct, referring to the ones on TV. The ones you never heard of or will hear of are doing the real evangelism. Gene Scott was just straight up, out front honest about it. The Lord made it clear to me in the beginning that I could never seek to make money from my testimony or my ministry. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit.

You've lost track again. You were talking about the manner in which you post, not what you post about. I thought you were questioning me about my job vs. playing on DZ.com. I have to go now. We are headed for a neighborhood social. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant. Let your soul absorb them.

Has it ever occurred to you that when you label someone as "liberal" or "secular" or anything really, that means your position is weak? That you're no longer able to argue from facts, but are instead trying to dismiss the person entirely. You're trying to shut down the conversation and maintain an egotistical advantage instead of a reasoned one? Just something to think about. Thank you. That is good advice.

Wow! I haven't seen anything of Gene Scott in over 20 years. I thought he was dead. He is the only for profit evangelist I ever saw. He made no bones about it. If you want the learn something from him, you would have to pay for it. I thought he was hilariously funny. He wore a variety of hats and smoked cigars while teaching or preaching, whatever.

I did not say "the moderators are against me." Those are your words. I said they will support you, implying that the liberals will stick together. So why are you defending your conduct by talking about how you work at your job? There is no defense for contempt prior to investigation. There is no defense for revelation knowledge. Is it your job to evaluate the Christian behavior, ethics, customs or traditions of the U.S.A.? Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit.

Learned it from the book of Romans. Did Jesus write that? No, it is a Holy Spirit inspired Pauline Epistle. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant. Let your soul absorb them.

No I do not. Andy9o8 pointed out that the law may be interpreted to mean that waterboarding is torture. If I am engaged in mortal combat I don't give flying flip about my enemy's mental anguish. I want him scared sh**less. Did you learn that from Jesus? Learned it from the book of Romans. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit.

You simply do not understand written words. I am not paranoid. I do not care what you say. This is entertainment. It is not my job. It is my passtime. It is a fantasy arena.

Say anything you want. The moderators have made it pretty clear they will uphold your position. And me, I couldn't care less. I stated in another thread, this is fantasy land.

I'm back. Something I feel the need to share with you as a difference in our professional tactics. An assumption that I have concerning your field is that you have to debate based on facts. You are facing an opponent who is like minded. The court decides who did the best job. In my field, we are trained not to debate issues with a client. Our job is to ask questions regarding the client. If we start to debate the client we build defenses and make it a win-lose game. Motivational Enhancement Techniques emphasize rolling with resistance by focusing questions back on the client. As an esteemed colleague of mine used to say, "I'm not paid to give you answers. I'm paid to ask you questions." It is difficult to use MET fully in the forum because of the lack of full range physical cues. I do appreciate you calling me to task because, as I said earlier, I get wacky sometimes. However, I pretty much always am going to be outside the boundaries and definitions of your game.

You always seek to make semantical arguments, a standard liberal tactic. You come across as a person without hope, an ego centric seeking only the maximum return for today and no thought for tomorrow. I base that opinion on the way you express yourself and your profile. Ron, the following is not an attack. You're bright and articulate; but unfortunately, when you face a debater who is particularly challenging to you, you all too frequently revert to the ad hominem, i.e., you deftly start playing the player and not the ball. Since, as you point out, this is Sunday, and a good day for serious reflection, maybe this would be a good day for you to be introspective and honestly reflect on why you feel the need to do that. I read his post as a invitation to comment on his personality. I admit, I am starting to get a little wacky this morning. I'm going outside. Later, have a good day.

It makes field interrogation very simple. HUMINT is required to win a war. Captor: Tell me what you know. POW: No. Captor: "Bang" Next witness. Look for the shiny things of God revealed by the Holy Spirit. They only last for an instant but it is a Holy Instant. Let your soul absorb them.
