Is Faith In Jesus Important To You?

Sunseeker,
Thanks for your Support.

Soutra - I didn't have children so, no grandchildren, are you suggesting that I too shouldn't be posting on this site? From his posts I haven't thought that Trevor47 has ulterior motives. Yes he is younger than most of us but as he has had happy relationships with older women perhaps he just feels more comfortable talking to older people than people his own age. Why jump to conclusions that he is seeking a soulmate?

I agree Mishap
but it's not always so easy especially when everyone Is imperfect and prone to Misuse our Tongues against Others.

Elegran,
I'm sorry you and fellow posters experienced that kind of Thing.
It still hurt me deeply at being made to feel uncomfortable I must say.
And I seriously Thought about whether I should post in here today after yesterday's horrible experience?
But because I know that my intentions were good and I didn't set out to play games or whatever, I thought why should I let the experience put me off posting again?
If I broke any rules I feel sure the moderators would have stepped in and taken appropriate action.
As for Me sharing my InnerMost thoughts?
Well, I don't think I went beyond what Is acceptable and decent
and for those that chose to view My thoughts with suspicion?
Well, That was Their Choice Not Mine.
Also Remember That No One Is Perfect Gran...Yes Even Pensioners Make Mistakes.
And Since That Is a fact of Life
it would be unreasonable and unfair to condemn a person young or not every time they put a foot wrong.
and it is better sometimes to give a fellow human the benefit of the doubt
rather than going in with blazing tongues
only to find that the target was innocent.
anyway never mind.
Take care Gran
regards
Trevor

My belief that it is important to tread gently on others' feelings is paramount.

My faith in the collective wisdom of GNetters to detect b******t is very important to me.

"Is Faith in Jesus important to you?"

I am not superstitious, so no, of course not.

Answer to the OP: no.

I must have misread something you posted, Trevor , about losing someone. and being broken-hearted.

If you feel got-at, blame a previous male poster, who was at pains to tell us as often as possible that he loved older women, with a distinct leer in his words. He also responded at once to any thread with a hint of sex mentioned in it, and propositioned a few (female) members by private message.

He has now departed (helped a little, I suspect, by Gransnet management) but has left behind him a lot of distrust of male posters who suddenly have a vocal presence on the forum and share their innermost thoughts with us strangers.

Ana
it's OK.
I Love you all here despite the disagreements and tension.

I take back what I said, when - especially as I notice you're actually taking part on another thread

yes and what of it elegran?
not a crime is it?
or is more to this that what I can see?

I guess miceelf that is part of life.
sadly.

You see again its that kind of thing that I think is unfair.
You seem to be suggesting that I am perhaps attempting to find a Soulmate sou?
Well, If So your wrong.
And I don't think you are being so called sexist...I just think it's unfair to gang up against a fellow poster and attempt to bring me down.
after all if it were you on the receiving end you would Likely Feel As I do.
Also I Don't need reminding about the name of this website.
and again the fact that you have done that Makes you look in my eyes rather
unfair.
and I regret to say That but that is the impression I have picked up since you and others Have been Targeting me With harsh and unfair and UnJust comments.
You Don't know Me and For You To show the side you Have suggests that you are rather oversensitive and appear quick to make judgements against people you don't know.
once you know me and know my motives then feel free to do your thing...but till then I would much appreciate it if you refrained from what you have been doing?
Thank you.

I don't think so, when.

.....and we're off!

The site is called Gransnet and it is not unreasonable to expect to meet other grandparents or those of a similar age who may not yet have grandchildren but are of our generation. No? It is not a site where someone who claims to be attracted to older women is going to find a soulmate We have valuable contributions from men so I am not being sexist !

A bit of cognitive dissonance here....

What's wrong with communicating with people Galen?
OK I am indeed 47
if i live I'll be 50 in three years and the chances are I will still be un married
But that's not a crime is it?
and If I still use the internet by then I may still decide to post on this site
And again that as far as I know isn't a Crime?
If you are attempting to accuse me of ulterior motives
Then that in my eyes is unfair in the absence of real evidence.
I notice how quick I was Criticized for using too many capital letters
But Did I resort to Complaining?
No.
Did I accuse any one of perhaps ganging up on me and being patronizing in the way They Highlighted my spelling mistakes?
No.
Lastly I did have relationships with Older White women but again Is that a Crime?
I simply used my experience of interracial relationships To start a conversation
And I didn't set out to upset or offend anyone.
I sense that you perhaps feel uncomfortable by my presence?
If So That Is Unfortunate And I don't Think I can Be Blamed for the way you Feel.
After All you are the One that chose To remind me of what I already Know in that I don't have any grandchildren
but That is not a crime as far as I know?
If I broke the rules I would Have been made aware of that by the moderators by now surely?
who knows maybe by thursday if I am still accused of ulterior motives
my membership may be deleted?
but in the meantime I can assure you That My Motives are good and pure
and I would appreciate it you would allow me time to prove that rather than using words that encourage a kind of ganging up thing which I think is unfair.
lastly if you don't like my posts you don't need to respond.
Thank you and Good Night.

Trevor You said on another thread that you have never married?

Good question, Galen...

It is hard to lose loved ones and know that we will not see them again. But I look at it like this - we are in part ourselves those whom we have loved - their love, humour, virtues, faults and everything about them have changed who we are, so we carry them inside us always. And we in turn pass on so much of those loved people to those we interact with and to our children and grandchildren.

No-one truly dies - their legacy is always with us.

The love that you shared with your friend is still there - it is part of you and who you will be. I hope that this is some comfort to you - I know I find it helpful.

[tbsconfused]
This a grandparents site. You are 47 and have no children let alone grandchildren. You have admitted a penchant for older women.

Why are you posting on this site?

arrrrrrr That Is a lovely story Hilda
Thanks for sharing it.

rose
I really appreciate your message
Thank you.
Believe it or not rose I was baptized into the church of England but I never go to church anymore.
The last time I did was back in 2007 with my ex who passed away.
And from what I can remember I didn't come away feeling refreshed Spiritually.
But Deep down I Feel sure That Faith in Jesus Will be Rewarded one day.
I may not personally Live to see that Day
but if i do and get to see my ex again
I can't express enough how happy I will feel.
