*Update*
As Ingrid has updated the post linked to we can assume she has seen this. In continuing with her deceptiveness she has not acknowledged the facts surrounding the quote in any way. I did not just remove that post. I removed myself from the forum because the forum was getting spammed up by her followers. I figured if I removed myself, that removed their motivation, and so the users of the forum could go on in relative peace.
By now many of you have probably read the quote dug up by Ingrid which causes her to call me an “enemy of Jesus”. Let me add some context around this quote.
First, in the game mentioned I was playing the part of a bad guy. It was a role playing game in which I was the dictator of a nation which was expanding its power via war against innocent, non-aggressive democracy. As a result I was acting like a bad guy.
Secondly, soon after I posted that I was IMed by a friend of mine telling me I had gone overboard, at the same time I was messaged by one of the game administrator’s telling me the same thing. I apologized to the administrator, and to the person I sent the message to, as well as started a new nation which wasn’t part of the evil dictator coalition, in order to get a fresh start. I have also changed the way I play these games. The post which Ingrid referenced years old.
The reality is that I have played games like this longer than I have been a part of the kingdom of God. The way I played these games was a holdover from that time. Through the gentle confrontation of a brother I have repented and corrected the way I play.
But there’s some conclusions we can draw from Ingrid’s “journalism”:
Ingrid and the other watchkitties are inherently dishonest in the way they write.
In order to find that post Ingrid had to plow through years of posts on that board. That means she also had to have read my extensive defenses of the foundations of Christianity when our board was “invaded” by several atheists. She also had to completely ignore the encouragements, prayers, and devotions I’ve posted on there. In other words, she took .0004% of my total work and concluded that I’m an “enemy of Jesus”. With enemies like me Jesus doesn’t need friends.
Ingrid is a hypocrite
Earlier Ingrid linked to a post by Jim Bublitz in which he criticized me for spending too much time online. Ingrid read years of posts in order to craft a hit piece. If that’s not spending too much time online what is?
The Watchkitties do not preach the gospel
Instead of seeing sin as something covered by grace and the sinner reconciled to God by Jesus Christ, they see sin (or rather, sin of everyone but themselves) as an enemy of the gospel, instead of what the gospel is there for. Their attitude reveals that Jesus isn’t their savior, he’s just a way to separate who’s in with the in crowd.
See, I read your blog.
[...] Something I did not do in my original post was give a fair amount of space to Tim Reed. I regret that, as there are always at least two sides to every story. This brief update is merely so that you can read a little more on this story from his point of view. A healthy conversation has been taking place at CRN.info & Analysis today. I encourage you to investigate it on your own. [...]
