(I had a much better one written, but my site session expired and I lost about 10,000 words.. perhaps it was a sign of it being too long, people wouldn't read it.) As you may or may not have noticed, I've forfeited my op status in #allnitecafe, and have also removed Whirred's. I'll be glad to email the remote exemption routine to Eliza if she wants it. It was developed for the channel, so I feel it "belongs" to the channel. Likewise any protection scripts outside of Crudeblacklist (which was written by Drew/Foodawg/Crudebot), that I've written, I'll be glad to share. If you really care to know why I left, you'll read this in it's entirety with an open mind, and open heart. Do that for me and I'll answer why I left. Those reading this, probably know me as a long-winded, sometimes overly active/vocal, person who's interested in conversation on numerous topics, ranging from Conspiracies to the Cosmos. I'm a very passionate person, and this is true in all aspects of my life. With that being said this is about you, from me. - Have you taken notice on how BAD the world is today? - Look at everything that's happening around the world, and really, honestly question WHY. Spend some time with it, it's for your benefit to know why. Look at all the Murders, and Rapes, and Wars (that were based on LIES) that are KILLING PEOPLE! and the children that will die hungry tonight. Have you ever really put serious thought into WHY? -- Or would you rather know when Paris Hilton is getting out of prison? Or how the stock markets doing, or what show is on sitcom, or when your next band is playing at the complex? -- This is a question I've asked myself numerous times, and to no avail, using all the resources I knew of, could I find an answer. They all lead to dead ends. But fate, does have a sense of irony. (stolen from a movie, I know.. but that's where it gets interesting) All the time, I'd been looking in the wrong places, I'd relied upon information I'd received THROUGH someone else, Internet, news, articles, research.. etc..Yet I'd discredited information I never knew... What information is this? The information contained in the Holy Bible. (I can hear the jaws hitting desks, it's ok really.. I'm safe.. are you?). If you're still reading this after I said Bible, then you have a hint of curiosity (Mustard Seed of Faith), and I urge you to read on. "God wouldn't let this happen to his people, so God can't exist" - If you've said that, you also need to question "How could Satan do this to God's people" <-- This is the answer to WHY the world is so BAD(Evil). Most people don't really believe in God and are blindly the cause of "the way things are". People on a daily basis (I was one of them) show him they're not worthy of his grace, and his rewards. Everyday you sin, because nobody is perfect, we ALL know that, and so Does GOD. as in FEEL it everyday, KNOWING he's on OUR side.Most people don't even say his name, or want to talk about it. That should be proof enough that Satan's been whispering in your ear "stay away.. think something else, here play a video game, oh look Paris is out of jail.. !" Now I know what you're thinking.. (he can't be serious) but question not, I am very serious. But, before you mentally question my motives, first you must question your own, and then mine will be apparent. Now, honestly, truthfully, and faithfully ask yourself have you ever REALLY given God a chance? Have you ever really sat down.. and TRIED, as HARD as you possibly could (and it's not that hard as long as you go into it with an open mind, and an open heart) to get to know God, and Jesus? To try and do good, to all people? Certainly people can discredit God, and Jesus without personally knowing them or talking to them. But have you ever even put the effort to learn the teachings of Christ and the Bible? And holding true to them and doingGod's Will? Honestly.. ask yourself, have you? REALLY? I ask you to, honestly, sincerely sit down.. , put aside your ego, and what your friends (this is why we're here right?) may think about God, and to ask yourself, have I even tried to get to know God?? The reason I ask, I recently have. And to my amazement, my world has changed. Changed in a way I can't describe unless you experience it first hand. I don't have bad or good days anymore, everyday is a good day from the start. Everyday over the past week I've awakened feeling like I could conquer the world. When things don't go my way, I don't get angry anymore, I take it as a lesson God wants me to learn. I wake up, knowing no matter where I am, what I'm doing, I'm NEVER alone. Its a beautiful thing, and can only pray you will all find it in you, place serious thought in it. All you really need to do, is live by God's rules. His commandments, and Jesus' demonstration. Do good to all people! A month or so ago I started to take notice on how people treat each other. Both minutely, and through the majority. Both in the channel, and in my everyday affairs. It was this observation that led to me ask the question why, why is it like this? Where did we go wrong? What can we do to make it better? -Simple, follow the demonstration of Jesus, Live the commandments, stop Adultery (includes mental adultery, i.e. porn) , lying, stealing (everyone does this right? bit torrent, mp3's, bandwidth, etc.. so that COULDN'T be contributing to the BAD in this world.. not at all) , killing (Wars, murders, SUICIDES, etc..), Worshipping other gods (People worship Rock bands, Movie stars, Presidents, Politicians, even SATAN - no god is just as bad) Notice I'm listing some of the commandments? Are they really that hard to follow? Considering you already follow 100's of other laws imposed on you by MEN (See Putting other gods before GOD). I can tell you from personal experience, if you spend an honest few days, actively seeking god with an open mind.. and an open heart, as if you're a new born, you will see a change in your life. God knows you've sinned, everyone sins, nobodies perfect. But we should all be aspiring to be. Give it a try.. for you. I'm leaving because I've seen how regulars are treated for their beliefs. Now I believe in something which has been demonstrated by numerous people (none of which do I fault directly) that they don't believe in. Which, knowing what I know, and trying my best to do God's will, makes me want to share it with them.. But they'll not have it.. As it is with most who don't believe in God, or Jesus. I was the same way when I was a non believer. I didn't mean to offend anyone by writing this, I only meant to get gears turning in your heads. And I'm not pointing fingers, or placing blame -forgive them, for they know not what they do-, I just wanted you all to know how I felt, and why I've left, and I hope you can see where I'm coming from. Strange that I leave due to something I once didn't believe in. That should be testimony in itself to power of God and Jesus. I hope you give it some serious thought.. not just a glancing serious -- a deep, soul searching thought as to have you really given God a chance? Because I hadn't, and now that I have, I'm sharing it with you, in the only way you'd take me serious. I love you all, and pray nothing but peace for you. I hope you too see there is evil in the world, and do your best to steer your brothers and sisters from yet another dead end. ~ Ryan |
