You wouldn’t believe it

JI and BPG. Why don’t you just meet up again and reconcile your differences? Life’s too short and you’re too old to be behaving as you are on a public forum.

This, although I believe bill would find such an action incredibly difficult, he does appear to carry a massive Christian chip on his shoulder, JI by comparison seems a lot more laid back in his attitude on this particular matter between them.

You are completely wrong ,I have held out a hand of reconciliation,but the offer has been refused ( just to put the record straight.)

(just to put the record straight.)

I’ll update my files.

Lots to regret in this for me. One huge one is that this has been aired in public. Maybe I should have kept stum when Bill aired his grievances. I did for a while but eventually felt that some explanation was needed. If you think that there is an intensity and relentlessness surrounding Bill’s grievance … you should see the phone and e mail record I’ve endured over the last 18 months. I certainly do regret responding to the initial request for personal contact and meeting a couple of years ago. A sobering lesson in this modern age where social media brings us into social contacts which are not altogether natural.
My offer to meet Bill for mediation with a mutually trusted 3rd party still stands… but I have no confidence that a one to one will be productive. I do hope that we can both agree to disagree and finally move on … let’s see.

If bpg is theologically correct, and only people with his views are in the promised land, suddenly brimstone and hellfire are starting to sound like a better option.

“I have no confidence that a one to one would be productive”.
Deeryme-“ why don’t you just meet up again and reconcile your differences?”
The offer has been there for a long long time Deeryme,but the offer has been declined,wanting a Judge and jury encounter instead,unfortunately.

I’m totally happy to meet up with a mature 3rd party to help, Bill. It’s a recommended route in situations of disagreement and conflict. I’ll drive over from Leeds and it can be your Pastor or Church leader who will be a total stranger to me. Nothing to do with judges or juries. We’ve got nothing to lose and everything to gain.
Failing that then let’s reap the fruit of your statement that you’ve forgiven ‘completely’ and that you’re over it ‘completely’…. and put it behind us.

If he says you were wrong in your post,will you apologise?

[Iron-awe]

Is BPG the David Hilton of the non football section on bru?, well he does appear to believe he is never wrong and seems to believe he is the only genuine person on this forum. I think you are correct in your 3rd party approach JI, sensible and safest route to go down if you feel you need to.

Bill ..you just don’t get it do you? Mediation is not about winners and losers…’a judge and jury encounter’ … its about finding a way to co exist, let go and move on in a healthier way. That’s reconciliation. That would be great.

Rapidly becoming a marriage counselling forum this. Divine intervention welcome.

Yep. I see what you’re saying, Deerey. It must seem pretty strange to an onlooker and I’ve been a bit surprised how restrained folks have been in their comments.Time to knock off. Ive made my offer to Bill. Nothing more on this from me.

..and one final point from me. We were friends,you sent a a character assassination post that was unjustified to a person you hardly knew. Hurt was the result.You reply has always been,” get over it and move on. “ I have ,but you still have the high and mighty stance you were right.Shame.

[Iron-awe]

The last word eh, hopefully you can now shut up bill and move on, JI certainly comes across as the much bigger person on this one.

Constant regurgitation of this matter doesn’t make me think you have got over it.

The unrepentant sinner always favours the unrepentant sinner,Iron-awe.
Your last post gives me great comfort,thanks.

[Iron-awe]

Still can’t shut it can you, weak Christian I reckon.
