Because of all of the troublemakers on this board, I think it would be good to start a prayer group for them. After all, we pray for those in pain, we pray for those that are grieving and we pray for the "have nots" in this world. So because these troublemakers are SICK people, let's start praying for them. Don't laugh now, you know who you are and we know who you are. So let's do that and see what happens. They must be so miserable to lash out the way they do, Poor things!
Let's start today!
I will add them to my prayers!I still maintain completely ignoring the trolls is the best policy. Please don't feed the troll.
now and then,
Who should we pray to? Who is your god? Can he or she speak or do you speak for your god? You are absolutely opening a bad can of worms here. If we are to pray then I belive that we should pray as we were taught. Let's pray that we all get what we deserve. then we will wait and see who gets good things and who gets bad things. We have no way of looking inside a person. Where do you get off with your god judging? Of course you remember the teachings about ...judge not lest you be judged. How 'bout this one...many shall come in my name, and surely i will say, i never knew you. Did your god give you a list of sick people or is it your list? And now you are what, the new "god people" moderator? Who are these people. Who is the we you speak of? You we's should say who you are and you should name the sick people. You know who they are. If you name them maybe your god will just turn them to ash. Poof. You would like that wouldn't you? So who do you pray to? It would be totally diferent if you were to post, let's all pray for each other. Not you, you come up with the we the good god people pray for the bad sick non god people. You absolutely need to pray for your own self. Any person that comes spewing this nonsense in gods name has no good god in them.
LEV
Lev's quote, "or the bad sick non god people.and there is no mention of praying to a specific God....just pray to whomever you pray to and if you dont pray then dont, i dont see anyone holding a "gun" to your head making you do something you dont wanna do
That's not what he's saying - he's saying he doesn't want to be Prayed For. LOL
Haven't you guys got this one figured out yet?
LMAO. I love you Karen. You kill me.Karen you crack me up. I loves yas chick!

eeeewwwww....OUCH! THose are brutal words. Let's step back for a moment and think about this in an adult manner shall we?
""Let's pray that we all get what we deserve""
""then we will wait and see who gets good things and who gets bad things""
According to these harsh words I would DESERVE to have RA, my nephew would DESERVE getting cancer again and my friends daughter would have DESERVED to lose her baby at 6 months gestation. THose are all bad things.Nothing that I can recall would elicit such an unfavorable outcome for me or any one of these people.
THere is an attribution error many people make when they correlate bad things happening to bad people or good people because they have done something either morally or physically wrong compared to the population of belief for that particular incident. It is just as I stated, an attribution error. TO think for one moment that good things only come to good people is unrealistic. """"then we will wait and see who gets good things and who gets bad things"" this is a statement filled with attributional error because you are assumming that people ""GET"" what you have decided that they deserve. Makes LEV a bit narcissistic in thinking karma or the GOD/S will make sure each comes into their own because he does not agree with a comment from another which includes prayer or behavioral thoughts or behaviors.
As children we are all socialized into behaving in a socially acceptable manner. BEhaving good. WE are also socialized into believing that if we behave "good" we will only have good health and good things will happen to us. THis is not always the case.
""then we will wait and see who gets good things and who gets bad things"" ......is a very bitter and disturbing statement.
""Let's pray that we all get what we deserve"" THis is even worse. It is implying some negativity and a not so good outcome...I really do not think this statement in all its content was printed on a message board to include wellbeing and heartfelt emotion, wouldn't you agree? Not much of a Christian belief system wrapped in this statement that is for sure.
Whatever happened to just being """NICE""" Where did that go? Where did, ""BE KIND TO OTHERS"" drift off to? AM I the only person that still believes in these statements????????
jode
One other quick point I would like to note concenring LEV..........LEV is making an error in assumming many people, including those on this message board, value LEV's opinion.
jode
I pray that levlarry finds the trueth.Right on, Lorster, Roxy, Jode and pincushion! Let's pray for Lev, whaddya say!Taking a moment in prayer for LEVlarry
**hangs head**
PHATGIRL
And that is the trueth
jodejjr
You are not the only one that that believes in unconditional kindness.
It seems that no matter what your spiritual belief is, love, caring, and unconditional kindness are part of all of them. Even lorster who is agnostic practiced love, caring, and unconditional kindness by showing her respect with a moment of silence.
Unconditional love, caring, and kindness should be shown everyday no matter what your spiritual belief is.
I asked for a list after you said "we know who you are". You never gave a list of who the "sick troublemakers" are but i now see the list of the "we" people and it is no surprise that every single one on the list is a sushi member. Now that is one big surprise. And there you all are telling each other how smart each other is.
There would be nothing wrong with a prayer group. Pray for a cure for RA. Pray for peace, right Phatgirl? Pray for all of us. You are so mean and nasty that you even try to bring god into it as if god too is part of your group and your attacks. Maybe god is but maybe god isn't.
I am the type that believes that if i am going to pray, i am going to pray for good things for good people and i am going to pray for bad things for bad people. I don't believe that bad people should get good things. If bad people get bad things and bad things, eventually, they will turn to good.
It never surprises me when the sushi group lectures a non sushi member on forum protocol and ettiquet. Jodejjr, lorster and the rest of the sushi group, why can you lecture me on not being nice, being mean and etc and yet i can quickly show over thirty posts of you sushi members being mean and nasty and sometimes downright filthy and not one of you rebukes each other.
So good, bad or ugly. I pray the good get good and i pray that the bad get bad.
LEV
LEV,
I DO pray for everyone....you just happen to be on the top of my list that day.
Phatgirl I am not an rasushi contributer, I can barely keep up with this board and all that is going on in my life. It was when you talked about what people "deserve " lev that caught my attention and I decided to write concerning that. Wouldn't it be easier to just be friends with everyone? Wouldn't it make life a bit more pleasant to live? jode Jode, When i responded to now & then it was directed to the "we" that she mentioned. It had nothing to do with your nephew or any relative. I never said that a disease or a death was associated with good or bad. Are you a bad person Jode? I try very hard not to be. But i don't know, maybe i am a bad person, i can't even see inside of my own self and that is where i was offended that some group can say that they are so godly, they can see what a persons inside or spirit is. Jode do you want to be my friend? Keep in mind i do not like bad people. Jode, any people that work as a group and cannot correct each other when they are wrong, i cannot be friends with that type of person. If my friends or relatives are wrong or mean, i will correct them. Because they are of me does not make them always right. Any friend of mind knows right and wrong amongst all people including friends and relatives. This group is not like that, they never correct each other, just slap each other on the back. And they got each others back. Is that the type of friends you like? I'll say it again, good things for good people and bad things for bad people, that's my prayer. You have to lock your doors because of bad people. LEV LEV, Who are YOU to decide what is right or wrong? Is this the world according to LEV? What do you base your "correction" on? Phatgirl Ok, I'll bite: Define "BAD THINGS" in the following statement for everyone reading this thread. "i am going to pray for bad things for bad people." No offense to anyone, but I do not believe in praying for bad things to happen. And please, I meant no offense to RAsushi members. LEV, Trust me on this, I doubt that you would want to be my friend. My friends either die or something happens to them. Many people do not think I am a kind person....for references on this statement you can contact either my ex husband or my ex fiance'or my son....my daughter will tell you..."well sometimes she is mean". I have one very close friend that lives in Indiana that I worked with for years, she has been the most loving and kindest friend I have ever had.She and I do not keep in touch because she is busy with her furniture store. I consider myself a good person. Jode, I'll try to define good and bad even tho i think most people can tell good from bad. Today my right knee was more painful than usual. What do you think? Good or bad? You probably think that is good. I think it is bad. My left eye ached today. What do you think? Good or bad? You probably think that is good. I think it is bad. My friend called early this morning and said that her son dropped something in the toilet and flushed. I had to remove the toilet even with my bad knees and elbows and etc.s. Do you think that is a good thing or a bad thing? I think it's a bad thing. If my friend gives me a ride and drops me off at the curb and i close the door and my jacket gets caught in the door and my friend takes off, that's bad. I talked to your husband and asked him about you and he said that he was afraid to answer. He said something about you cutting off parts of him that he may still need if you didn't like the answers. Just kidding. To be honest, i have enough friends and they are old, tried and true friends, when i say old, i mean i've known them for a long time. I can trust them, i know that they are good people, with good morals. Phatgirl, you need to take off your sushi glasses and your boxing gloves. When you read with your sushi glasses you see words and statements that weren't written. Everybody knows right and wrong. It is written in every person. Some people have just put thier concience in a box and locked it. When a person steals, that person knows that it is wrong.The thief may make excuses for it or sugarcoat it but deep down they know they are doing wrong. When you do wrong, you know you are doing wrong. If you go back and read my posts i explain that i cannot even see inside of myself let alone other people concerning bad and good people and so i said that is why i pray for good things to happen to good people and bad things happen to bad people. If a parent rewards a child for bad behavior, the child will continue to be bad. When i said i pray, hey, i took a chance, i included me. Let the chips fall where they may. Got an umbrella? Just kidding. Phatgirl, the correction thing is that if one of you of the group does wrong, the other members will not correct the member that did wrong. Remember when you told a new member to leave? I think you said "don't let the door hit ya where the good lord split ya." Any honorable person would have corrected you. Even if my mom had said that, i would have corrected her. But not one of your group corrected you and even worse, clapped for you and slapped you on the back and that's the problem with a we and us mentallity. I saw in a post where you told a member to be what, careful and it seemed as tho the warning was because what she posted sounded almost against the group. I hope you understand what i just wrote. When it comes to right and wrong, be an individual, let your concience speak, not the group. LEV Levlarry, i think the part about you helping your friend w/ her toilet is a good thing ... You are helping someone that is in need even though you are an unhappy person... CRAP was that outloud again..... Lev, my friend, I really want you to LET THIS GO! I typed up a whole response to your post...but why bother? You seem fixed on your views and no one elses. Phatgirl ""I talked to your husband and asked him about you and he said that he was afraid to answer. He said something about you cutting off parts of him that he may still need if you didn't like the answers. Just kidding."" LEV,You are an ass. And: I am not married. My ex-husband and I remain civil for our children. My fiance' and I were very much in love so don't even bother to mention him. Quite frankly I am not going to respond to you anymore because you twist everything around to the negative and find the negative in everything, then you take it to an amoral level to stab, jab or otherwise be cruel just to cause pain, just for an argument. jode LEV? Hun.. Would you like to join the sushi group? The "US" or "WE" group? Lev... we all know RA can make us mean, and bitter... but dude! You need to let this go, find humor and the simple things in life. They will help you to see your life is going to be ok one day. Everyone just has ruff spells every now and then. As for the not correcting other members, SOOOOOOO???? They have their right to post what they want. Just like you have the right to pray for bad things to happen to bad people. Just watch out for that one though, LEV... it might come back and bite you in butt, because you JUST MIGHT BE A BAD PERSON AND NOT EVEN KNOW IT! Me, myself & Irene... well.... we think we are good people, and the men in the white coats tells "us" we are too
I say for LEV to go flog himself, to help us see the errors of our morals and mean spirits. Oh BTW LEV... that sure was a nice thing to do for your friend. I mean playing in their pee and poo and all.... W2G!!! Good Buddy!! You guys ever watch that tv show "My name is Earl" ? Earl (and myself but I'm not on the show lol
Karma will come back and bite you on the ass! This thread is just weird!
In fact; the board has become weird. Lev, why on earth would you pray for bad things to happen to bad people? What kind of supreme being would rule in such a way? (I know, but I'm wondering if YOU know!) By your own standards, the way you think MAKES you a bad person, so you should have only bad things happen to you. (Maybe that's why you believe all the things you listed earlier are bad, and not good). Why not pray for bad people to BECOME GOOD? What would be wrong with that? That, imo, would change you from a bad person to a good person... So, that is what I wish...for you to become a good person. Blast away....

Karma will come back and bite you on the ass![/QUOTE] Earl's in the trunk.
Jode, When i mentioned your ex-husband i forgot to enter the ex part. Since you had mentioned him and told me to check with your ex-husband i thot you were being humorous. Your quote: "Many people do not think I am a kind person....for references on this statement you can contact either my ex husband or my ex fiance'or my son....my daughter will tell you..."well sometimes she is mean". " I thot that since you were being humorous and kinda friendly i posted what i did about your ex as humor. My mistake. I should have known that if it could be taken in a good way or a bad way, you would choose the bad way. I do not say things to be cruel. Joonie, Gosh, what can i say about you? I don't think i have ever seen you post any thing that is of any benifit to anyone. Mostly your posts go in circles and make me dizzy. Many are just loopy and off the wall and hurt my brain. I try to skip most of your posts. What amazes me most is that you can still show yourself after the coming up re-post. After i saw this post of yours i get a sick feeling in my stomach even when i see the word joonie. You are a filthy, filthy, filthy person. What kind of sick person talks about sucking on a douche hose. Amazingly, not one of the group said anything to you. At the very least they could have said something to you in a PM. You are so proud of it as if it is one of your very best posts. Here's your post:
I think this all stems from Lev, feeling left out and no one befriending his mean, hatered filled self. I mean he has no sense of humor, and the one he does have is lacking.
Is anyone on this board familiar with this Bible quote: "Do unto others as you would want them to do unto you."? This includes anything we put into our prayers.
Actually, this quote isn't found word for word in any other religious belief, for those who have studied or are studying comparative religions you will find this belief stated in ALL religious beliefs. Take Care
