Stephen Fry on meeting God ...

Nobody is talking about terminology/jargon or history but Methodism and the beliefs of Methodists the members of the Methodist Church

You cannot claim to be an "expert" as you did when you started a thread to "explain Christianity" some time ago, or hold a position in an organisation then rubbish it by saying you do not care about it as I have quoted above, you may have "mis-spoken" as the Americans say, however changing the subject just suggests to me that you have got out of your depth and don't know how to get out of it.

I never said I was an expert. If you think I did, show me!

I have explained the rest.

Now that really is the end of me explaining all this to you

You haven't explained anything.

"A thread if you want to ask me a question about christianity. Mine, or in general.

I am getting asked questions about my christianity across different threads.

So if you want to ask me a question, ask here.

If no one does, fine. Great.
But if you do in future, I suspect that gransnet would like it dealt with here rather than questions popping up on other peoples' threads, for the forseeable.
Thanks."

I believe this is the thread I had in mind.

I should have said that was started on 14 January of this year.

How does me starting that thread, make you think that I said I am an expert?

Surely it's a basic tenet of Christianity that the church is the people and that the buildings are relatively unimportant.
'The church is wherever God's people are praising'.
So in this context, discussing buildings is a no -no!

Well, it did rather imply that you know more than anyone else on here about Christianity (yours or anyone else's...)

If someone starts a thread like that about knitting, I wouldnt think or assume that they are an expert in knitting. Just that they know some things about knitting. And didnt want knitting questions popping up on threads about all sorts of other things, not much related to knitting.

Have you lot not got tellies?

#baiting

I seem to remember that the only poster who introduced the subject of Christianity on various other threads was you yourself, soontobe. No one else would have done...

It's not baiting, jingl. None of the stuff soon's going on about makes sense. I'm off anyway...

soon, haven't you ever heard that when you're in a hole you should stop digging. Now...about that knitting....

jingl
Actually there's nothing currently on worth watching........ are you feeling any better today?

No it doesnt Ana.
Anyone can start a thread about anything. It is up to anyone how much notice they take of it, or whether they post on it or not.

Plus I was at the time getting asked all sorts across all sorts of threads, so in that regard, it stopped that, which was the primary intention.

And I will reiterate again. It was a thread for people to ask me questions if they wanted. And they did.
And still do for that matter. But at least now the questions dont pop up all over the place. Because they were getting asked on the most inappropraite of threads. Which was awkward for all concerned.

Thanks jingl. I had better be off.

"A thread if you want to ask me a question about christianity. Mine, or in general." I does sound rather as though you would have answers if asked! I wouldn't start a thread like that about anything, even if I did know a lot about it.

Nothing on telly worth watching, Jings when I have had a quick check through GN I shall go and finish my book. ("Bitter Greens" by Kate Forsyth)

BTW If anyone wanted to get Paul Hollywood's book "How to Bake" but balked at paying £20, it is on Kindle Daily Deal for 99p

Thanks loopylou too. And annodomini.

Yes loopy, think I'm a bit on the mend. Ta for asking.

Thanking loopylouandanno for precisely what? Why not thank ElegranAna and jing too?
#discrimination.

Oh FFS! That is ridiculous. Getting a bit now. Grow up soutra!

Just to let you know that I've had a very prompt reply from GNHQ saying it might be interesting to invite the 2 aforementioned clerics to join us. They'll have chat about it and get back to us.
Goodnight, ladies.

Well done mcem!

That could be really interesting.

If you say so.
