Hey Butterfly!

I can only tell you from my perspective. After I originally joined I read most the postings, and w/the older postings I didn't post anything because it was just that old and there was no activity for a long time, so either I read it took it in, or sometimes it looked like a resolved post so felt no need to respond. When I come on now I usually look at the new postings, and for some reason sometimes when I come on there aren't the flags that show new posting so I have to look at dates and I'm sure I miss things when I do it that way. One other thing I noticed is that (maybe it's just my pc) but some of your post are blank, the responses could be there but the original post is gone. As far as me posting responses, well I don't do it much, usually not in the dream interp section cuz I don't have that gift. As far as the other sections go I post responses as I feel led to. I'm sure all of us are in different moods when we come on, sometimes I'm fired up, sometimes I just read, sometimes I don't agree w/someone posted so I just don't respond, I don't feel a need to quarrel over something that I disagree w/based on my opinion and sometimes I don't post because everyone else has said what I already thought. But if I have facts and feel I can make a positive contribution I do. Even though I'm on here everyday, I really don't post much as you can see by my posting total. But that's just me.

But your not alone wondering why there aren't responses to posts, for me personally I rarely get replies to my posts. At first I had to ask a few members I were familiar with to read and respond, and I would wonder why no one else did. I actually prayed about it because it bothered me, I thought maybe my dreams aren't from God and that's why no one has anything. And then I didn't post for awhile, and when I started again I get maybe two responses, heck I've even responded to people and they don't respond back. I've wondered like you why some post have tons of response and some go unnoticed, I don't have that answer I just try to think of it that either no one feels led to respond or they just don't have a response, I just don't take it personally. I really don't think anyone doesn't respond out of just not responding to particular people. Really if you look at the group it's huge but you have your regulars, you have those that come and go, and you have those that probably just do a lot of reading. The regular responders is a small group, and they are doing the bulk of the work so to speak, spread them out over all the posts and it may look like not many respond or show support - but that's just my opinion.

When it comes to the political issues, I think that's a hot button for a lot of people. I don't think it should be because just as we use the bible to back up dream interps we should use the bible to back up what we should believe in and stand for when it comes to the political issues. But I'm sure some have stayed out those for the sake of not arguing. I agree w/you about the truth, the truth should be shared and even in hot topic areas like politics it should be spoken as well.

The truth should be spoken, and yes sometimes the feed back won't be full of things someone wants to hear. But as it has been said before sometimes it is hard to type response w/unpleasant feed back w/o the person getting up set. When you do it in-person, the person receiving not the greatest news can read your facial expressions, your tone etc. and can be received better. But in postings, the person doesn't know you so when they read it, it's all about their perception, which can make it hard to translate what your saying the right way. But I do believe we can share, post, respond to things w/compassion and understanding w/o it turning into a quarrel.

These are just my thought from my perspective. I'm sorry if you feel lack of support or input. I know that I have not done it intentionally and as someone that comes on daily and doesn't always respond I can only believe many others do the same. So it's not personal, but I will certainly do more on my part to show my thanks and support for you and those that take the time to post.

I hope this makes sense and helps you understand at least form my perspective.

Butterfly,

I understand why you would be frustrated. Let me start by apologizing for not telling you how much I appreciate the posts on prophesy and the survival techniques. You will have no idea how much until we get there. At first when I read there were so many that I did not have time to read them all and had to log them and read them a little at a time. I so appreciate your willingness to do Gods work. It is obvious that the Lord has placed this on your heart to share. I will say this much.....The Lord says his people die from lack of knowledge. We are given the wisdom through people like you and we should be using it and putting it to good work. I for one am using what you are putting out there. I am watching many prophetic boards right now and it is pretty much giving the same message......look up your redemption draws near. We are living the end times so we better be prepared. Keep doing what the Lord has called for you to do.....do not be discouraged. You know if for nothing else I am getting this info and so appreciating you for it.

Love in Jesus,

Connie

I will be REALLY honest with you Butterfly and I pray you are NOT offended. The reason why I stopped responding to your posts is because whenever anyone had a different opinion than yours, you became defensive. It happened to me personally with you and I've seen it happen to others. If you are going to post certain things on a board where everyone has different opinions, you should be ready for people to voice what they feel and not just post things like the truth you are sharing is the only truth. I think if someone came behind and read the back and forthy comments, it would keep them from wanting to respond and chime in. When Jesus was here spreading the Truth, he spoke it. If a person didn't agree, he moved on and didn't argue his point or try to force someone to see it HIS WAY.

I have not agreed with everything you posted and thats the honest truth. Thank God that you want people to be informed, but you can't do it and expect to be thanked or do it to expect a whole lot of feedback. You should have the mentality that "if I can help just one person, that would be enough". Putting truth out there is a "thankless" job...ask any Pastor or minister who is out there putting the truth of God's word out there. They are the ones that are being persecuted and talked about...not the ones that are putting who knows what out there.

So I ask you to rethink why you do what you do...are you trying to get truth out there for whoever? Or are you out there to persuade. Sometimes people won't accept truth right away because they are not ready for it...it can take years before they come back around and say "hey you know what? I heard that some place before." It's the same with Salvation...when you hear the word, you may not accept Christ right away, but one day the seed that was sown in your heart will develop and you make the decision.

This is my opinion...please take this in love...

...........

Exceptional questions of which most I have pretty good understanding of. There were a couple I need to look up. I totally get it. I have for some time been checking these things out myself.

Love in jesus,

Connie

I rest my case!!!

Butterfly,

The 45 questions you listed are you saying you posted those or those are things you want to post/discuss?

Butterfly,


I would hope that people do know the truth. I understand that God has called us all to stand for his truth and his word which is his truth. I for one do love the truth. How can we stand for Christ without it.

This forum is for all to have a closer walk and understanding of Jesus. Some will do that through dream interpretation and some through fellowship. Some through devine revelation and some through prophecy. Be encouraged that even if one person gets it and receives it....you have done the work that Christ has called you to. I do understand about persucution. I have endured quite a bit of that myself. Having people I worked with for 7 years tell me that they were more knowledgeable about the word and that I did not have the right to discuss the truth but yet in the same breath they discussed it all the time. Declaring to me they were Christian but yet act totally the opposite.

Trying to do what Christ has called us to do means receiving persecution. He told us to expect it. He said if they hate me, they will hate you. They will persecute you for my sake. Be glad when that happens. That is not the exact scripture but the overview. What I learned in the end is that no matter the cost to ourselves he expects us to carry on for him.....for the cause of Christ. Loving people in spite of themselves or there treatment toward us. He was spat on and hung on a tree.....I would expect no better for me.

I would encourage you to continue the work that he called for you to do. Do not worry what others think or say.....just know that your heavenly Father is pleased with you for being obedient to him.

Love in Jesus,

Connie
