He is so awesome!

hahaha... not if they 'don't agree with me'... its about agreeing with joel (of course) lol just kidding I just wanted to be silly...

    *No but in all seriousness, if you are having a bad day and you listen to him ... it will totally brighten your afternoon. I could not listen to him for a while after leaving his event at Dodger stadium in los angeles early (as my boyfriend was being mean and i didn't feel that i was in a position to receive the message being given in my hurt/upset state). But I began listening to him again... and just talk about uplifting! I urge everyone to check him out if you haven't. Don't be turned off or write him off as a tele-evangelist...  take the time to really check him out. His simplicity/easy-going nature yet profoundness really makes it an easy, enjoyable listen. And I am not a bible thumper, I promise!

What? You kind of irritated me just now. When I say 'bible thumper'  I mean 'fire & brimstone' which non xtians may not know. However you can take things however you like. Scared to be called christian>? Not quite actually. But if its humorous to you to think thats how I feel then go right ahead. I feel the way you 'confronted' me just now wasn't very christian like.

Lol, so lets say i was a court reporter and that the typical shortening of that word would be 'xtn'? lol. Jesus would not want us nit-picking about such things. And if i spelled 'Him' with a lower case... then what? lol

The fact that you feel the need to point out my 'flaws' says alot. I don't want to 'argue' with you. I like you other than this thread. Maybe I am used to a more aggressive/silly internet forum... lets not fight. I am sorry for affending you if I did. I like to poke fun at things and don't mean to be offensive at all. If i wanted to affend people or make them angry I would be coming at people in general much differently. Lets agree to disagree? Sorry.  Ok, can we be friends now?

I am not wanting to fight with you either. That was not my intention at all. I can honestly say that I have never listened or read anything by joyce Meyer.

As for my choices in Christian speakers/authors, I really don't look at whether someone is "mainstream" or "watered down". I believe that the entire Bible is the true revelation of God not just the "good, happy parts"and I am open to anyone who follows the Word.
