(No Subject) *Red Dragon Wishes

Also, just something to perhaps keep in your heart and think about, is there a possibility that perhaps some people won’t want to rebuke you if you know their name because of the attitude you bring back to them on your blog? Perhaps they are afraid others will judge them if you put their name out publicly on your blog like you do to others. Just something to think about. You don’t have to respond in public about this. It’s just for your own personal thoughts…

Let me make a few things very clear.

1. I don’t mind you having an opinion about my opinions. It’s the fact that you’re telling me I’m wrong about something that you yourself are doing that I have a problem with. I have an issue with the complete double standards of your entire “rebuke.”  

2. I did not sin against a “sister.” Calling someone out for something they did wrong is not sinning. If so, then you yourself are in sin as well. Congratulations. 

3. Attitude from me only comes when necessary. We’re supposed to turn the other cheek, but Christ never said we had to let people treat us like door mats. If you come to me with an attitude, don’t get offended when I dish it right back. I’ve had people come to me with issues about something before and they have done it in complete kindness. This, however, has been a blind and unmerciful attack on something that doesn’t even involve you. Back down, sparky. 

4. Being afraid isn’t a good reason to come to me or anyone else anonymously. It’s just being a coward. If you can’t be man enough to show your face, don’t clutter my inbox with your negative mail about an issue you know nothing about. 

5. And, yeah, rebuking anonymously is a a different thing. Wanna know why? Because it’s hiding behind a nice little grey face and never having to face up to a real confrontation. That’s why it’s different. Not because it’s not public. Your message is still public. You’re just afraid to make your identity public, it doesn’t change the message being public at all. 

6. Why do you care so much about this? Seriously? If you know me in real life, why not just come to me as a friend and say something? If not, why does it matter to you? And if you’re a friend of hers then you aren’t a very good one. True friends don’t hide behind faceless, nameless avatars. 

7. Also, according to your definition of gossip, I’m not gossiping so…I don’t really see what the problem is here.

8. Regarding public rebuke. Lemme just make a public announcement here: DO NOT SEND ME INBOX REBUKE IF YOU DO NOT WANT YOUR NAME ON MY BLOGGGG. I will post every message of rebuke that comes into my inbox whether you’re anonymous or not. Guess what? You’re on a public forum! Welcome to the internet! If you say something, it doesn’t just go away…it becomes public property. Therefore, do not be surprised if, when you make a decision on a public forum, your name shows up on my blog. My parents always used to tell me never to say something unless I was willing to write it, sign it, and tell it to the world. I would say that the same applies here. Don’t say something to me if you’re ashamed of it being public knowledge. 

I’m sorry, but treating me like a child and blocking me on Facebook is completely uncalled for. If people don’t want to be called out for the stupid things they do…then they shouldn’t do those stupid things. It’s as easy as that. If she has a problem with me telling people what she did, then she shouldn’t have done it. It’s literally that simple. This whole concept of keeping things that happen in the closet is ridiculous.

Nobody on this site is striving for unity in the body of Christ. Don’t even tell me that kind of junk. People backstab and ankle bite and criticize and make fun of others 24/7. Don't tell me this is a healthy, Christ-honoring community because it's not.

And everyone has everything to do with the problem. If you aren’t a part of that community, then you won’t understand. And even if you are, you’ll probably defend her anyways because you’re either blind or you simply don’t know the whole story. 

Also, since when do you get to say whatever you want behind a gray face but if I expose mine it’s not okay? Would it be better if I removed my face and my name from that post? Would that make you feel better? Because clearly you’re okay with giving your opinion without a name. What makes the difference? 

The "Tumblr famous Christians" on here are ridiculous. 50% of them are complete fakes who make fun of you if you're wrong and block you on Facebook like a middle-schooler if you give your opinion and they don't like it (thanks, Susanna). I cannot be the only person who sees all the two-faced, hypocritical actions going on here by the people who are "leaders" in this "community."
