I recently decided that I needed to leave a Christian forum, because the place was hurting me...

Good for you mate, I've lost count of the bad forums i've walked out of over the years..:)-
"..a companion of fools suffers harm" (Proverbs 13:20)
"Bad company corrupts good character" (1 Corinthians 15:33)
Jesus said:-"If any place will not welcome you or listen to you, shake the dust off your feet when you leave, as a testimony against them" (Mark 6:11)

...there was always someone or someones that would tell me, that my problems is my fault....I tried to have a thick skin but it happened for so many months that I couldn't stand it anymore...

Here's some of the things people have said about me in various forums over the years, but I honestly think it's funny and it gives me a laugh..:)

Steve H - "Micks a narrow-minded unchristian unqualified know-nothing silly little man and work-shy racist layabout"
Cymba - "Micks an unchristian aggressive liar showing no fruits of the spirit"
Zeke - "Micks wrong wrong wrong and denies Gods word"
Christian Trucker Pat - "Micks proud,arrogant,self-glorifying, uncharitable,offensive,lacking understanding and talking drivel"
Linda -"Mick's a silly little Brit"
Gloryboundd - "Mick's a senile liar and fool"
SheriNuwine - "Mick you come across as a pervert, do you like cheeky little minxes who play with dollies?"
Sunami -"Mick...the lazy workshy parasite that you are"
Faeshadow -"Mick, there are no words for the depth of ignorance and depravity that your mindset displays"
PeterM quote - "Mick, your posts are so full of BS I await to here you mooing. You are obviously one paranoid individual who has delusions of grandeur, and these are the least of your problems.."
Veritasbellum - "..inane drivel, as the majority of Mick's posts are......I pity you but I don't hate you.."
Toolate - "Everybody thinks Mick is an idiot.....atheists don't hate you, just find you laughable........What crimes are you planning now? More race hate?"
CreationFallacy quote to me - "Mick, your posts remind me of local radio stations. Same old boring crap over and over again"
ZenAgain to me -"Mick, you wander off into drug induced metaphore...I could tell by your posts that dementia was setting in"
PaganSunflower to me -"Mick, you have not fooled those on this board with even a shred of intelligence"
ZaZen quote - "Mick is like horse manure. You either stand in it or are sensible and avoid it."
OldyOneCanardly to me - "Mick, you are just an ignorant, bigotted, anti- semite with fascist and racist tendencies .....nothing of intelligence to contribute to anything or anybody, you big loser in life"
Dm2473 quote to me - "Mick, the fact that I'm Jewish and you're a Christian has nothing to do with the fact that you are a boorish, small minded, shallow, nincompoop"
Junoth quote to me - "Mick, what a sick and twisted mind you have! In fact the word "evil" springs to mind when I read your demented claptrap!"
Donbain - "I've got Mick on filter for one very good reason, his intelligence is too low beneath mine to dignify his lewdness with an answer"
Sandragoggins (witch) -"I'm sure God has a special seat in hell for you Mick, feel free to go fornicate yourself"
Junoth quote- "Senile and paranoid Mick the compulsive liar"


In fact they know I'm too kool to take offence..:)
GwenHez - "Mick's a tough nut to crack folks. Don't mess with that one"
Lillith - "No amount of rebutall insults directed towards Mick will have any effect whatsoever."

I'm looking for a place that I can fit in with. I don't have many friends in real life or online. I guess I'm just a little different, or something. For that reason I often blog about things. Many times it's just things that I need to get off my chest.

The reason why I'm asking for prayer is because I recently decided that I needed to leave a Christian forum, because the place was hurting me. Mind you, I am not new to Christian Social Media, but I've never been treated this before.

In the book of Job, Job was being inflected, and his friends set around him, giving him wrong advice. By the end of the book of Job, God makes those friends repent, and Job had to pray for them.

I don't want you to get the wrong impression that I'm comparing myself to Job. But what I am trying to say is, the way those people were treating my blogs, was a lot like how Job's friends treated him!

If I blogged about a problem I was having, no matter what the problem was, there was always someone or someones that would tell me, that my problems is my fault. And it seemed like that was the consensus of the entire forum. I guess they felt that Christians should always be positive or something. I tried to have a thick skin but it happened for so many months that I couldn't stand it anymore.

I ask that you will pray that God will help me with these problems, and help me to fit in around here. I hope you can believe me, but I'm not joining here to cause trouble.

I have somethings that I would like you to pray about. And if possible, I would like to make some online friends.
im surprised that you got any comments on a blog, if anything? mine avg about 1/3 of a comment per blog lol

You are welcome here brother, and there is always the "ignore" button if things get too hot. You sound allot like myself, I have very few friends anymore and do not seem to fit in at church's, even sometimes here but it passes when I remember the wonderful folks on here that I love dearly.
I wish you well...BTW-I can be oversensitive and that I am working on with The Lord. So with that, again welcome here.

You've saved all these? why have you bothered?

Humans it seems do not/can not resist self glorification; it matters not what form it is packaged in. It can be in an overt style like in a fashion parade or it can be in the style of self depreciation.......either way, self becomes the focus.....the message being, 'look at me, look at me.

All the religions of the world have a focus on self......even Christianity at large has this focus with 'the spirit, the spirit'

Jesus glorified his Father, not himself. The Spirit glorifies Jesus, not himself.....and those who have the Spirit of God are not self glorifiers.
Herein can be seen whose spirit is operative in all the yada yada irrespective of how pious it appears.

We need to take stock!

Welcome to the forums.

Internet forums are notoriously toxic environments.

You’ve said what you want. Have you asked what does God want?

Does he want you to fit in? Have you considered that maybe he wants you to stand out?

I take Oscar Wilde's view- "If there's anything worse than being talked about, it's NOT being talked about"..:)
Sure, I've saved the troll attacks on me to give myself a laugh, I'd hardly call it "self-glorification"!
I could post a long list of positive feedback I get from people if you like,for example-
"Mick, your posts have made me pick up a bible for the first time in years".
As regards being focussed on self, yup, saving ourselves should be top priority before trying to save others..:)-
"Work out your own salvation.." (Philippians 2:12)
Jesus said- "The work God requires is to believe in the one he has sent" (John 6:29 )

..Really all I want is that you pray that I will have a better time on these forums then I did there...

Good for you mate, there are plenty of strong Christian "iron men and women" here and hopefully their good vibes will rub off on you..:)

Hi @AlwaysOnAJourney Good to see you on the forums. Hebrews 12 is a great passage; verse 2 exhorts those who love and trust the Lord Jesus to keep "looking unto Jesus" (verse 2).

If by prayer and Bible reading we make this a priority, then we can emerge from introspection by God's grace.
