| Posted 10/3/2001 7:39 PM (GMT -6) | | I can't even begin to express to you how grieved I was when I read this thread on Sept. 11th. It was like salt being poured
into an open wound. It was like being wounded and then being slapped in the face. It hurt. Then it offended. Then it made me
angry.
When I looked at the time I it was written I could barely believe my eyes, it was within an hour of the attacks. Lacking compassion? Callous? Heartless? Unfeeling? Definitely
not grieving. When people responded in disgust or saintly admonishment the reply was not an apology but an explanation of the offense.
Do you think that because the prophet did not grieve outwardly that he did not grieve the loss of his wife at all?
Do prophets lack wisdom or compassion?
As Christians we groan with creation for our redemption, we are called to reach out to the hurting and lost, motivated by the compassion of Christ in us. Just as the New Yorkers and people across the nation did, immediately. People were till risking their lives for others when this thread was started.
Who among is not a minister of Christ?
Where was the moment of silence?
I needed seven days.
nuff said.

Have I misunderstood what Cibertus was trying to say?
First he/she said: "I was simple reiterating what I thought
was the obvious message of the said terrorists."
and then implied, "I was just being like the prophet and
not grieving your loss and captivity because you refuse
to grieve your loss of righteousness and your captivity to
sin."
I thought Ezekiel came to Israel in the midst of their sin
and called out a warning. Where is the part of the story
that tells about how on the day that Israel's sons and
daughters were killed and Israel was led captive into another
land so that they had to keep their shoes on their feet and
were denied time to grieve... where is the part about Ezekiel
running after them and shouting, I don't grieve for you!
Thank you Babylonia!
My bible says that the word about not mourning came
'before' the judgement as a warning, not afterward, as an
'I told you so'.
In fact after this warning was given it says the prophet's
mouth was closed until (Ez 24:26,27) the day when those
that had escaped would come to him.
Again, was that in the first hour that they were marched
from their homes? According to the notes in my bible it
was at least 6 months later!
Is Cibertus acting like a prophet? or is he/she still in
the belly of the whale?

Springs could we PLEASE let this horse die!
And could we think about PLEASE somehow finding a way to bury the hatchet for good? Please please pretty please with cherries and cream and everything that makes you happy.
Hang on and I will contact you personally as soon as I get this paper written and handed in.
Thanks

I have noteven posted on this thread until now. I thought perhaps after seven days I would reply. But I could not. After seven more days, I decided I still didn't want to go there. Beavis resurrected this thread. I just decided to say my piece, finally.
If I have beaten a dead horse, forgive me.
When did he die? The obituary wasn't posted.
Bury the hatchet for good? What are you talking about? I have no axe to grind with you.
I thought you liked to talk like the big boys. With all your, "How do you like that?" and "Hope that's concrete enough for you."
You get in my face when I'm grieving, and then you tell me I have an axe to grind when I dish some of it back at cha?
whatever

Didn’t intend to accuse you of anything. Nor did I intend to disrupt your grieving rituals.
Your critique has been well noted.--It’s not new information to me that I don’t know how to grieve. I tried taking the class but they didn’t offer it. I thought of seeing a counselor but I’m sure they would have locked me up or kicked me out.  Maybe a God thing will happen someday.
Blessings,
