Trust me guys. I spent way too much time on that other hateful, unforgiving forum, so I am not surprised if Jennifer seems a little defensive to us.
I feel bad

How do you know I am sad often? I'm not doing anything. I'm not making you turn against me. I just been reading a lot of stuff that seemed relevant to me...Jennifer!How did you turn an "I need a friend" intro into an "everybody here is persecuting me" thread in just a few short pages? We were welcoming you. If you can turn a bunch of people against you who were trying to welcome you, don't you realize it may have something to do with you as to why you are sad so often...
What happened?

If the spirit is inside me I'm always walking in the spirit.. Jesus doesn't forsake anyone.. neither does the holy spirit and how would you know what I'm walking in period? And what are you doing in your daily life? Where are you walking if I may ask so? Are you following the spirit everyday?
Hey...……... We all have to back off and quit posting here if we are going to stop the escalating of unnecessary confrontation. That means all of us. OK?

It's ok. I just don't like the idea of feeling judged by people who don't know me..

1. Actually, that is not true for anyone, unless they are 100% Jesus, 100% of the time.
2. For those who are of faith in Him as their Savior, yes, He will never forsake us!
As for the Holy Spirit, we can grieve Him (cause Him grief), if we are walking too much in our flesh (our fleshly minded ways). Ephesians 4:30
3. You are crying (complaining) about being persecuted for Christ's sake. If that were true, you would be joyful in the Spirit, that you are suffering in being rejected by people, as was our Savior! 1 Peter 4:14
4. I have not asked you that question, so I need not answer for detail. But if you must know, if I am persecuted for Jesus' sake, I am happy in the Spirit!!
5. A rough guess would be 80% in the Spirit (His Mind), 20% in the flesh (my mind).
6. Yes! At least 80% of the time.

I just remember you were having a bit of a tough time way back when as well. But maybe I'm just catching you on off times is all.
No problems, and hope you end up making a lot of friends here.

At 3:46pm, you posted 2 Cor. 12. How can you say "again", in your recent post, quoting Matthew 5?
Which is it that you mean?

My compliments, Jennifer. So far, YOU are the main one trying to slow this down.

This is a non-denominational forum. I doubt it qualifies as a flock as a whole, though there are some who are in smaller clicks.
If persecution were a disease then the symptoms would be conduct that isn't Christ-like. The rules try to capture some of these behaviors. I may act on clear violations of the rules, but often I do not perceive an offence is worthy of intervention when I get a report. This calls all who participate to be more gracious in their interactions and slower to take offense. Or conflicts will develop and behavior gets worse.
So of our long standing members most are kind or have learned to walk the line. It's the best I can offer, no one here is perfect.

It sounds more like you have an "inferiority complex," of which by the way, is a product of the flesh and not that of the Spirit.

I was just suggesting that I believe biblical persecution is referencing Christ and followers being pursued by adversaries. The Pharisees were always following Jesus trying to find a reason to harm him, because the message He was conveying opposed who they were, and also threatened their high seats.
