@Lordreed, What did you do to this man?

I noticed that for years he has been hounding you about. Nearly every time you post something here, he's sure to respond negatively to it.

I honestly don't know of anyone here who has been facing this sort of harassment.

I advice you stop responding to him no matter what he says. He has been vamparising on your emotional energy for years. Cut it off and let him go look for someone else.

He's not who he claims to be. His mask has slipped off on this thread, exposing him.

Funny, you got free time to go try and study me posts, or you're a burner account.
Now i am so scared 😱, Reed may be dul enough to follow Aithophel's advice. What will happen to me and the reason left of me. Oh God.

LordReed:
LoLz. The same you who claims to adhere to faith to the exclusion of reason. Abeg go and siddon. Bwahahahahaha!

You didn't understand, you don't understand, maybe you may never understand.

triplechoice:
It's because you don't understand what's written in simple English language .

I was specific about what I said. I said I was ending the "conversation" that has do with me appealing to your humanity and conscience. I didn't not say I won't respond to your personal attack.

So, at the moment,I'm responding to the nonsense you have been saying outside that conversation. You didn't engage directly with the " conversation", so no need wasting my time .

Hope it's clear now ?

And praying for others to change them is witchcraft: the attempt to impose your personal will on others to change them.

Your response, no time.

LordReed:
Never what?

Hmmm, never mind.

LordReed:
LoLz. Your name is not on the list of people qualified to rail against hypocrisy.

Ahhh, so you were the one as i suspected.

LordReed:
LoLz. It is like since yesterday understanding English has been hard for you. Who was confessing to you?

I gave you examples so that understanding can sink past those skull plates but I guess it was a waste of time. Bwahahahahahaha!

Just yesterday? i am so disappointed, what happened to never?

Reed, are you the one trying to post some hypocrisy above? We don't do that hear. Please, listen to your compassionate pastor.

triplechoice:
The only "grieving parties" I see here is you. You're embroiled in bitterness and hate, two things that negatively impacts on one's mental health.

You didn't discontinue?
Therapist customers await you, my compassionate friend. Go for the jugular. Stop these cheap talk. Ask around, engage the right set of people, they've been praying for you.

So how much was disbursed to rich Nigerians? Make i go open poor Nigerian account, this billion wey i dey hear so.

These ones are here for their own gain. Sim should better do away with noise and get to work.

kgr8mike:
He has collected what he will use to fund his campaign. Having tasted the seat, he will come for it. Watch out.

He's not from the state, what are you talking about?

There's the saviour of Sim's government. Sim should be very grateful to him.
So professional and quiet. He could have seriously exposed Sim's failings.
Sim was so literally simple to believe people that support Pit. Who does that? We hope he's learned his lessons and now goes on to actually govern Rivers, instead of drama and season film actor that he turned himself to.

Pit must talk for talk sake or what?

triplechoice:
It's obvious you have no desire to engage in a reasonable discussion. You have resorted to sarcasm and personal attacks instead of directly addressing the point that celebrating someone's struggles is not a loving way to behave.. Your Bible has even made it clear that such behaviour will never go unpunished..

Well, my "sermon" ,as you call it, was just about basic human decency,and that shouldn't be a controversial idea

I've said all I need to say on the matter .I won't be responding again. FYI, I'm not a pastor and nobody is praying for me. That comment of yours is very vague. Unlike your friends, there's nothing you know about me outside this forum.

Thank you

You said it earlier, kindly discontinue what you consider conversation. i have no desire to engage in meaningless discussions based on assumptions. You'll be of more profit demonstrating your great advice to the grieving parties. You are on a very long thing my compassionate friend.

LordReed:
LoLz. Where did I say I was battling alcohol?

Gain understanding:

I decided to give up salt for health reasons

I decided to give up sugar for health reasons

I decided to give up rice for health reasons

Which of the above statements indicate a struggle with the substances mentioned?

Stop jumping into fairytale conclusions in your head.

Okay my dear, just that i didn't say these things. Talk about conclusions. i am not a priest, i have no need for these confessions.

LordReed:
I commend you for trying to reason with the unreasonable.

It is unreasonable to think that there's no God. Much more to say it. You can imagine what ihave been going through with you for years, lol. Psalm 14v1. Selah

triplechoice:
Hmmmm. Your reply confirms exactly what I was explaining.

You think you should be "rolling on the floor laughing" at his struggles. You also regard is bold decision to seek therapy and his celebration of "one week wins" as a joke, not as the difficult, praiseworthy effort of a friend trying to improve their mental health .

My friend , that's not concern, love or compassion. It's called, schadenfreude, deriving joy in another's pain and struggles.. Proverbs 17.5 warns heavily against this kind of behaviour you're displaying. You're using his struggles not as a reason to offer support, but a weapon to laugh at him and validate your beliefs .

Your claim he didn't require professional help when he was a Christian is an assumption or more correctly put, a lie. Many Christians struggle silently with issues they're afraid to face.. It takes huge courage to finally face them with or without religion . It's clear you're seeing correlation and assuming causation to fit your narrative.

Genuine faith isn't proven by mocking someone else's struggles and saying, 'I told you so ' . It's proven by demonstrating the grace,love and compassion you claim your religion provides. Unfortunately, you have chosen the former instead of the latter

I will discontinue the conversation at this point. I'll just leave this here for others following this thread to consider what true compassion really looks like.

Thank you

My dear compassionate friend, leave the sermons for the obvious. We're not having a conversation here, take up pastoral care of these flock and show you really care. Where have you been all these while, are you not the one they've been praying for?

i sincerely hope that everybody head don correct now.

triplechoice:
Ok. I see you've known him for a long time. But that doesn't change the fact about what he has written here about his current actions,which are, taking a break from marijuana and pursuing therapy to find peace. Those are commendable steps towards responsibility, not away from it .

If you've known him for over a decade and sincerely concerned for him, the loving and friendly thing to do would be to reach out to him privately to offer support,and not call him out publicly like an enemy,. Nairaland is where we discuss ideas,true friendship and pastoral care happen in private with compassion. The way you're engaging him here seems more about being right, ' I keep saying it ', than helping him like someone you have known for long.

i am not his pastor, he can go and find his pastor in his church. All the while he was not an atheist; he didn't need therapy. Few years out, he's battling mariJ, and the other one alcohol, and needing therapy and celebrating one week wins. i should actually be rolling on the floor laughing like them if no be say God dey exist. See, just be his pastor offering 'support' and leave me alone. If he cares for his mental health, let him disturb me. When these fellows mock us for believing God or serving God for years and pages, you didn't ask them to show compassion, people would have assumed that they were living in Aso Rock or White House because they stopped believing God, while those that believe are the dregs of the lowest earth.

This is a state governor's achievement? Ahhhhhhh. Something my friend can do, even my location church pastor can organise members to do this? A councillor or local government can take up this painting job, even alumni and the school itself if serious. These guys will waste 8 years painting dilapidated buildings. Where is vision? Those that want to attack, find out how much was used to do this. Do you care? NO. He's not APC, plus maybe tribe.

It's commonsense disguised as sense, read again. No more character, character don finish.

Poor protocols. He should have been given a reserved spot as should be done to dignitaries. Make him dey read Bible for wisdom.

Luk 14:8 KJV When thou art bidden of any man to a wedding, sit not down in the highest room; lest a more honourable man than thou be bidden of him;
Luk 14:9 KJV And he that bade thee and him come and say to thee, Give this man place; and thou begin with shame to take the lowest room.

But are they not graduates? We use to hear that graduates apply for these jobs.

triplechoice:
Comments like 'I keep saying it' often come from a place of assuming the worst about people who abandon religion. But consider what he actually shared. He's working on his mental health and making positive changes in his life. That's courage and self awareness. Instead of assuming he left to sin,I think you should listen to his experience. He's now on a different path, seeking peace and responsibility. A little understanding goes a long way.

Thank you sir/ma, i have known muskee for over a decade. i repeat again, i keep saying it. It's a place of experience and knowledge, not assumption.

HappyPagan:
Found something better.

Some call it spirituality. I call it nothing. Started seeing a therapist a few years back. Best decision I made... At peace with my past, present, and now.
Currently on a marijuana break, after over a decade of religiously smoking.

Lolz, sorry muskee. So you left God for mariJ. Unfortunate. i keep saying it.

What on earth are we exporting to Spain and the Netherlands? Hope its not ofio, or japa candidates?

They will also count the woman as part of people suffering because of Tinubu na.

If Nigerians have their way, they would exploit you. They are another definition of market forces. Forget your knowledge of economics.
i hear even in Lagos airport, they will bill you (collect bribe) before you can carry anything Nigerian food in your own 23 abi 32 kg that you paid for.
