With memories of a very good movie, and Jack Nicholson being Jack Nicholson, I am reminded of the above phrase. Here is another one: "The Truth Hurts". What do you think about this? Does the truth hurt? Are we opposed to "taking" the real truth?
There is a blog site,: "Mycultlife.com" that I have been blocked from . I, basically have disagreed with the author as to why she is so mad, and vindictive, and has such a "get even" attitude towards a certain orginization, church, denomination, and individuals because of the problems she encountered. Her newly crafted blog site is quite nice, she has a section on the history of this denomination, a timeline as to what happened to her, and a section basically telling the readers what would constitute being banned from commenting. I had wondered what it was that "got to her" in my many comments. Well there it was: "Calling her or anyone aggreing with her, angry,bitter, trying to get even wit...." I did call her bitter, and angry and vindictive, so there you go, I was blocked.
But, she was did come across as angry, bitter, and trying to get even. I never said she did not go through some things, or that certain things did not happen, although she thought I did.
You see, sometimes the truth hurts. I have gone to several counselors, Dr's .... for counseling in my life. I have been told that I was being Bitter, or angry or vindictive to those that hurt me. I was told that forgiving them would help me more then it would them (Your getting a spanking, but it's hurting me more then it is you, there is some truth to that). And not all these people were Christians, a few were just regular plain ole' counselors.
I believe when a person gets SO upset at someone or something that they take as drastic a measure as banning them from their website, for disagreeing with them and pointing out there may be somethings going on here, that won't agree with, then perhaps there is an element of truth.
I know several people at my church that have gone through the same things as this author, but they see things Much differently. One young lady told me,: "Yes , there were some things going on that I didn't agree with, but I am not going to let them control me. That was in the past, and I need to learn from those mistakes, and move on in the Lord." You see, when someone wrongs us, we can let it control us, for the rest of our lives, sometimes. Yes, there are people out there that will try and destroy you and your whole lives, But, don't let them, by trying to get even. What good does it do?
You see in the situation above, the principle leader has been fired, one of the churches involved has had it's group remove the name it was operating under. I see no more "justice" needs to be done here, only healing.
Remember the Lord says" "Vengeance is Mine", we try to "help" him all the time, but He is the one to "get even". We are to hold no grudges, but move on and do as He wants us to do.
I am reminded to the time of Christ's being taken away in the clouds, the Disciples were gazing up into the clouds, and an Angel of the Lord appeared and basically said: "What are you doing, looking into the heavens? There is work to be done, stop wasting time"
In my opinion, the author and the contributors of this blog (because only those that agree with the author are allowed to comment) are "Wasting time". You see "Vengeance it His", and He will take care of those that wronged them, and you, in the Lords name.
