In Reply to: Why a "Christian ghetto?" posted by OT2 on October 03, 2006 at 12:18:41:
NDN is not a ghetto. It is not viewed as such from here either. It is a site which has grown a lot over time and which is listed as a ministry, being Christian oriented. Some coordinators there have studied theology as well and can offer their insights without running others down for their lifestyles.
Journeys is unique in focus in that it is intended to WELCOME people in their journey after the family whether you think it is erroneous living or not.It states that all are welcome, from any religion and from NO RELIGION. BTW, I think "Question" had it right to ask if you know the difference between solicited and unsolicited advice.
I think that is the main issue. Not whether you approve of others choices and preferences but whether you can restrain yourself from exhorting them when they don't meet your brand of Christian standards.
You say the parental role of Berg makes you want to puke. Isn't it a parental role that assumes that others need to benefit from your authority based on YOUR experiences?
