On Christian groups

Glancing at the PuritanBoard just now, noticing once again how shallow that representative group Christian forum is: "What should I do with books I've already read? Should I put them on a shelf? or in a box? Anybody? (I DON'T WANT THIS THREAD HIJACKED BY KINDLE PEOPLE; I STRONGLY CAUTION ANYBODY WHO IS THINKING OF COMMENTING ALONG THOSE LINE TO START A KINDLE THREAD.) Suggestions appreciated."

I'm reminded once again how unteachable Christians in a group are. That forum has had events happen that should have taught them, as a group, that they are on the wrong track. Like, for instance, 280 of their main most interesting members becoming so exasperated with the tone and operation of the forum that they left, usually with parting advice that was routinely ignored. I'm not referring to Federal Vision advocates, or even people like me, but straight pillars of society, so to speak, of that forum's culture.

What is left behind are the most shallow and obsequious individuals, and the worst moderators ("I'M SHUTTING THIS THREAD DOWN DUE TO THE FACT THAT IT IS THREATENING TO BECOME INTERESTING AND PERHAPS OVER MY HEAD.")

So you have endless topics posted like: Is this book dangerous? Should I read it? Sorry if this is in the wrong category. Could a moderator kindly move it if I was so stupid and thoughtless to have posted this in the wrong category?

When Christians group together they are no different than the world. Everything is policed and pulled down to the lowest common denominator. It's like they say, through their dumb leaders, to the Holy Spirit: "Sorry, Spirit, we're pulling this down to *our* level."

What is a true group of Christians like? Like kings on a battlefield. Prophets, priests, and kings gathered together, natural equals. War fighting and ability in council appearing naturally with no 'accreditation' from institution or man given the time of day.

Christianity raises the bar. The Holy Spirit enables Christians to meet and exceed that bar. Man hates that.
