...their online sessions. Why?

Is it because you don't want to be seen here?

Is it because you don't want to be associated with this place?

Is it because you're ashamed?

Is it because of a certain freedom it gives you?

Well?

People are always on their best behavior if they know an admin or moderator is logged in. I want everyone to post as usual, so I'm going to stay hidden... I'll chime in if I have something to say.

never really look much at the users online, except to check if a response to a pm or post is likely to be imminent from a certain person.

I like my privacy. Period.

The option is there, so I use it.

I often turn off my smartphone too, quite often.

Not paranoid, but thats just how I live my life.

I enjoy lurking in general without anyone knowing whether or not I'm procrastinating on forums again and what I'm looking at, and it makes people wonder.

What is it with people being up in everyone else's business, like
they have to know everything all the time? They all scared?

I have been alive for 56 years now and I can tell you one folks thing.

Most times, when something bad is gonna happen like possibly dying,
it almost always happens real fast and you wont even see it coming.

Isa 1:18-20 wrote:
18 "Come now, and let us reason together," Says the LORD, "Though your sins are as scarlet, They will be as white as snow; Though they are red like crimson, They will be like wool.
19 "If you consent and obey, You will eat the best of the land;
20 "But if you refuse and rebel, You will be devoured by the sword." Truly, the mouth of the LORD has spoken.




Abraham's father, Terach was an idol-manufacturer. Once he had to travel, so he left Abraham to manage the shop. People would come in and ask to buy idols. Abraham would say, "How old are you?" The person would say, "Fifty," or "Sixty". Abraham would say, "Isn't it pathetic that a man of sixty wants to bow down to a one-day-old idol?" The man would feel ashamed and leave.

One time a woman came with a basket of bread. She said to Abraham, "Take this and offer it to the gods".

Abraham got up, took a hammer in his hand, broke all the idols to pieces, and then put the hammer in the hand of the biggest idol among them.

When his father came back and saw the broken idols, he was appalled. "Who did this?" he cried. "How can I hide anything from you?" replied Abraham calmly. "A woman came with a basket of bread and told me to offer it to them. I brought it in front of them, and each one said, "I'm going to eat first." Then the biggest one got up, took the hammer and broke all the others to pieces."

"What are you trying to pull on me?" asked Terach, "Do they have minds?"

Said Abraham: "Listen to what your own mouth is saying? They have no power at all! Why worship idols?"

(Midrash Bereishit 38:13)

One of the world's worst disease is idolatry, especially the insane cult of buddho-idolatry which causes a very serious problem:
1.Marriage is forbidden in this cult. The cult of buddhism poisoned and still continue to poison many people with the evil and distorted idea that sex and marriage are evil and celibacy is the only good way in one's life. Unfortunately this cult continue to poison people with this idea which harms so many people.

Well, I suppose what I mean is that some people DO have things they want to hide,
and that is part and parcel of being free, but its not _always_ for nefarious reasons.

The good lord only knows I have posted things here that I probably should not have, but
thats just in my nature.

Evil is something that I am not. I despise evil and will always take it head on, no matter what.
