Are you declaring Jesus Christ unsupportive?????
The quote from the "rider" is straight from the new testament and was also spoken by Jesus.
Don't you think the rider was also being unsupportive of the Pharisees? I think you need to keep thinking about this one Dr B.

First of all, see the link Dr. Bob provided. It is by no means clear that Jesus called all Pharisees hypocrites.
Second, there were many instances where Jesus may not have fallen under the guidelines Dr. Bob has established for this board. Were Jesus have said to a fellow poster "You are much like whitewashed tombs, which appear fair outside, but inside are full of dead men's bones and everything foul.", I'm certain he would have received a Please Be Civil. Had he said it more than once he may have received a block. And if anyone on this board were to say that to another poster, explaining that he was quoting Jesus, that person would also get a please be civil. Dr. Bob has certain standards of behavior that he expects on this board. Quoting the bible does not excuse anyone from following them. Jesus would have had many other forums for his message. If he wanted to speak here, he would have to abide by the rules.

Well Dinah Jesus wasn't accepted by many when he was here the first time either was he? Personally I answer to a higher authority than Dr bob :-)

The link that Dr. Bob referred to, is not the Bible I was talking about.

I was answering Oddipus' post about whether Dr. Bob would issue Jesus a PBC. It had nothing whatsoever to do with you.
I was the one who said long ago that this was out of hand.

>>I don't know if you meant it to be but that is one funny paragraph.
If Jesus returned today he would be playing a much bigger venue.
Please don't block Jesus if he posts for obvious reasons.

i can't speak for anyone else, but i imagine many folks think about what they post, reread it, and feel comfortable with it. no regrets usually I would imagine. i rarely have regrets. i regret losing my temper. that's about it, because i do reread my posts and try very hard to be reasonable and logical, and to keep my emotions, which may interfere with the clarity, out of the way.

But kk, how can you regret losing your temper if you keep your emotions out of the way? I'm sorry I still don't quite understand.But I would think that most people have a lot of regrets in their lives. I congratulate you on having so few.

i guess the key word is "try". emotions are key to our humanity, but in certain situations, they are better kept "checked". this board seems to be one of them since it is often when people let loose their emotions that they get pbc'd. i'm talking a range of emotions, not just niceties.
so, here, it is best to be distant and polite and sweet. that's how it's become over the last six months and why i don't fit in very well (i am by nature very polite, but the issues here are close to the heart). so i try to be rational and reasonable with my posts so that i don't regret them. when i loose my temper, i regret it.
i hope that clarifies my thoughts some.
and, in a general sense, if one has many things to regret, then i would hope one would reconsider how they are living their lives. that sounds like either a potentially bad life being lived, or a huge amount of shame that needs to be banished. just my very humble opinion of course, and not directed at anyone in particular.

Guilt was put in mankind for a purpose, to let us know when we have done something worthy of regret. Of course those of us with OCD have a biochemical problem with the whole anxiety/guilt system. I don't actually consider it a character flaw. After all that's what this site is here for.
Not that I am in any way implying that anyone on this board considers OCD to be a character flaw.

You know, that's a good point. I think from now on I'll just trust you to either catch things or not, and keep myself out of it.

> Guilt was put in mankind for a purpose, to let us know when we have done something worthy of regret.
That's one way to look at it, but what if it's a bad purpose? I bet most therapists will tell you that guilt is actually unhealthy and counterproductive. Guilt is usually imposed on us by others who don't like us or our actions, and it's manipulative. I have rarely felt guilty. When I say something that might have come out wrong, I apologize and explain, but I don't feel guilty or have regrets.
A lack of self-confidence can make one more susceptible to feeling guilty AND to making others feel guilty.
> Well, maybe it just suggests that the person has a well developed conscience.
I would say we do the right thing initially because we have a conscience.
I know lots of people who often feel guilt and often have regrets. I also know a lot who rarely feel guilt and who rarely have regrets. It's just what makes you you. I believe KK when she says she has few. I don't have many either.

In reply to regrets and guilt » Dinah, posted by beardedlady on July 23, 2002, at 7:48:13
Hi Beardy, I was expecting you. :)
I certainly never said I didn't believe KK. And I believe you as well.
Now I do have regrets. I regret being drawn into this discussion. It must make newcomers to the board feel very uncomfortable.
So to elucidate, I was trying to ascertain if KK's pointed references were to my various meltdowns on the board, which I do regret and find embarassing. However, I also am proud of myself for overcoming my embarassment and continuing to try to contribute to the board. I am not again going to explain the relationship of my meltdowns to my OCD. I have done that at least one time too many already. I was rather hoping however, that she was not referring to my meltdowns, as such reminders would not be in keeping with my image of KK. And so I was giving her a chance to explain what she did mean before leaping to conclusions.
I hope that leaves those who have come to the board since my last meltdown feeling less like they are in the presence of those who are speaking in code.

Dinah:
I wasn't speaking about you at all! It had nothing to do with anyone's meltdowns or disorders or anything else. And I wasn't even implying you didn't believe KK.
My response was about guilt and regrets and how different people deal with them.
Was I really that cryptic?
beardy
P.S. And about those newcomers: What did we say that would make a newcomer uncomfortable? I guess that's where the guilt thing comes in. But people who are uncomfortable with debate or discussion will simply avoid it and post what they like elsewhere, won't they? I don't really understand what you mean.

KK and I were involved in a long discussion last night in which I tried to get her to explain more clearly what she meant and she continued to make highly pointed statements.
I was hoping it wasn't about me.
I do not intend to explain again. You may believe me to be self centered if you wish. And you are not going to make me angry.
I also stand by my statement about guilt. Healthy guilt is a good thing.
