This paragraph alone is perfection, but at the risk of ruining it I'll chime in. The multiple protective orders and the warrant for your arrest means that some people beg to differ.
So a summary: in my ex girlfriends report, she said she is afraid of what I would do/say if I was to bump into her in person, and since she has anxiety that makes her afraid of going out places out of the small chance she could bump into me. Further she reported that my statement that I would email her periodically the rest of her life until her death bed upset her and made her feel like that was harassing and stalking. Secondly, she clearly states that there is not any substantial risk to her physical or emotional harm even though I know where she lives and works. Thirdly, the officer who did the interview with her reported after her interview that a.) I did not make her fearful. b.) that i had not made any threats. c.) that when asked by the interviewing officer if I am capable of killing her, she said no. d.) and also she said to the officer that i am not violently nor constantly jealous of her.
Also of interesting note she falsely stated in her report that I was convicted of a crime involving Melinda, which is not correct. I have an arrest warrant due to my actions involving Melinda, but I do not have an actual conviction of a crime since I have never been arrested nor has there been any criminal trial against me.
So it all comes down to your fragile ego not being able to deal with rejection? That's hilarious.
More accurately not being able to deal with rejection of friendship of a former best friend. Ive never reacted in such a negative way with rejection of romantic interest. In my entire life I have always accepted that people are free to choose not to be in a romantic relationship with me. I only get like this when someone rejects me in totality especially without justification. Allowing for friendship i am fine with. Totally cutting me off when it isn't deserved is a type of rejection far worse than any breakup or divorce or cheating/adultery in my view. someone refusing to be your friend especially a former intimate partner, is worse than anything else that partner could do to you. it is the ultimate form of betrayal and disloyalty and like i said is far worse than adultery even. Its only slightly less evil than rape and murder in my view. thats how evil and disgusting it is to totally reject someone for no valid reason. it is an act of utter hatred.
Yes, thank you for the clarification. I was especially thrown off when Linda kept calling us all pagans. I am a Christian, as are lots of other people on there, and it was my belief that historically Christians called Europeans who practised pre Christian religions like (Roman Gods, Greek Gods, tree worshipping Saxons, Vikings, etc.) pagans. How can Christians be pagan? Doesn't make sense to me. I always thought Jews who didnt like Christians just called us goyim or shiksa. Then someone said Melinda's religion was created by a baptist minister in the 1970's, so now Im especially confused as to what that bitch actually believes in, and whether her just calling us pagans is some form of coping mechanism for her failures.
You said earlier on the thread that Melinda's family seemed like normal people, so maybe she uses 1970's baptism to cope with being a societal reject. Also, her other famaily members are probably just normal Christians and she hates them so hating them means hating all normal Christians to her I guess.
It's why I like your version of whatever it is you believe (Essene Judeo-Christianity?) because at least you don't constantly insult Catholics, Orthodox, Protrstants or other typical Christians by calling us pagans. Like where the fuck did that come from Melinda?
I don't agree with the statement made by the other that the Nazarene thing was created by a baptist minister in the 1970s. The nazarene group is an ancient group going back to the early christian centuries. The nazarenes died out or got absorbed into other religions. In Modern hebrew language in Israel for example, all christians are called nazarenes.
Predecessor of the modern Nazarene movement originates from MESSIANIC JUDAISM and Sabbatarian Christianity. In particular its roots come from British Israelism and one such notable group of Christianity that taught similar things was known as the Worldwide Church of God founded by Herbert Armstrong.
The Nazarene thing thus originates out of a conglomerate of different groups trying to arrive at similar ideas, the idea that the New testament was originally a Jewish book written by Jews for Jews and converts to a Jewish-Christian religion, in which ancient Christianity at its core roots was heavily Jewish even in its Gentile constituents. It was only in the second century, after intense interaction with Gnosticism and persecution from Roman paganism that Christianity in mass numbers began abandoning its Jewish roots in favor of lawless Christianity.
I used to call things pagan but ive learned a lot since that time and realize that most things people think are pagan are clearly not pagan. The messianic jews many of whom are just gentiles who pretend to be Jews or think they are jews just because they are christians but are really fake jews since they don't understand what a jew even is, those people go overboard and call everything pagan. They have this silly idea that many words in languages are pagan. Like God they think is a pagan word and refers to a false god. what their tiny brains can't understand is that the word god is a neutral word and applies to any god, not any particular pagan god. Likewise, the name Jesus they say is pagan. Some people literally think that Jesus which in Greek is Iesous, comes from Ye-Zeus, and think Zeus is a pagan god and therefore JeZEUS is a pagan name! Some people even more stupidly think that because Jesus in Hebrew would mean "the horse" (since he-sus in Hebrew means "the horse") they think Jesus is a pagan name. lol. so many other silly stuff like that its really ridiculous. and if you study even a small amount of language history and linguistics you come to see so clearly that these theories are a bunch of bunk.
There is a growing movement amongst Christians and Messianics to believe in the flat earth due to a.) belief the Bible teaches a flat earth b.) that certain scientific observations that anyone can do in their backyard throw into question the claims that people make about the world being round and in their understanding, what they are observing contradicts what the scientists say about the world being round. They think if the world was truly a globe, certain things should be a certain way in scientific observation. since those things are not occurring in scientific observation, they conclude earth must be flat. c.) they think that there are many conspiracies that are true, and they think that Nasa is a corrupt agency that can't be trusted thus most of the evidence people have for a round earth comes from groups like nasa and therefore since those groups are unreliable and untrustworthy as a source of truth they say, therefore they see much less trustworthy evidence for a round earth. since nearly all the evidence it is a globe they can't accept due to believe that the sources of that evidence can't be trusted to accurately report the data. And since the bible says the earth is flat, then that settles the question. Unfortunately a lot of bible believers are actually being deceived by these silly ideas. They are clearly refutable. Now for myself while I do not believe in a flat earth, I do believe in geocentrism. Something interesting about some models of geocentrism like tychonic one is that every thing observed in heliocentrism can still be perfectly explained with the same exact math in a geocentric model if all the planets are moving around the sun with the exception of the earth since the earth isn't actually a planet (the word planet comes from a root that means "wandering"). Earth only began to be called a planet under heliocentrism language. I do believe in geocentrism because of the bible and some other reasons as well. But since all the mathematics and observations can be reconciled with geocentrism and doesn't require any conspiracies or ignoring of evidence to make work, i think the system is infinitely more tenable and considerable than the flat earth models. One interesting thing to me for example is that the earth is supposedly on a tilted axis even though there is no sufficient explanation to explain how or what is causing it to stay on that titled axis. Furthermore, what are the odds that somehow even though the earth is moving many thousands of miles every year, somehow just by change the north star is moving so fast at just the right speed to always be directly north of the earth at all times and never disappear from its place but stay put all the time? How can that be possible? there is no way a star like that could stay at that same place constantly all these thousands of years. The far more likely and simpler explanation is that there is no tilt, and that the north star is above us for the simple reason that it is on a circular orbit that is small which orbits around the earth. and that rather than a tilt causing the seasons, it is the angle of the sun in comparison with the earth that determines the seasons. there's other things too like scientists make a lot of leaps and bounds in their assumptions and logic. for example, based solely on the idea that heliocentrism is true, they then use that to determine how far away stars are. if it takes the earth 365 days to go around the sun once a year, then the sun must be really far away and all the stars going around the sun must be very far away. But if many stars and our sun go around us every day, then this would throw off all their measurements as unreliable. their distances would all be inaccurate. and then they will see something in their telescope and they theorize what it means. they think that if they observe something that must mean that a certain gas exists on a certain planet. And they were calling pluto a planet but now they are saying its not a planet, and just many other things they just have so many unproven assumptions which they take for granted and build new ideas off those. if the original ideas are inaccurate, then all their ideas that branch off of those things don't hold on those merits.
anyways, Melinda is the way she is not because of her family being Christian, but because of her religious journey in her college years. She married a christian and she was a christian at the time. For example for many years she actually believe Paul was a faithful man and that his writings are Scripture! I actually knew her early enough that I saw posts on her former facebook account from many years ago where she said pro Paul things and valued and treasured his words as wise. But it was due to a negative marital experience with her first husband combined with her religious epiphanies during that time that set her off. Due to her study of the Scriptures she came to conclude that Nazarene or Messianic religion is true and that anyone who isn't Messianic/Nazarene (aka anyone who doesn't keep the Law) is pagan. So she basically gave her husband Ramon an ultimatum. She wanted him to be messianic like her or she was going to kick him to the curb and not deal with his shit anymore. Apparently he didn't want to be a messianic at the time and wouldn't stop eating pork or something like that. And wouldnt' keep sabbath. so for her that was a deal breaker. Even though they had two kids together, she expected him to follow her in her religious beliefs. But he refused, and so she dumped him and cut him off. ever since then she became more and more hardened in her beliefs. It really started going off the deep end when she came to the conclusion Paul was a false apostle. From then on she became more and more extreme in her interpretations of Scripture. More and more, by rejecting Paul, she came to embrace hatred. She saw so many people wrong her in her life and she felt like she was a doormat and had to submit herself to them and turn the other cheek. but now that she was seeing the Scriptures show a different side of God in some places, a God that hates the wicked and that is violent and wrathful and angry and curses, she became emboldened and decided she wouldn't put up with shit anymore and if anyone wrongs her she has the right to hate them just like God hates bad people she said to herself. She wanted to justify herself treating others badly including cutting off her partners, and she justified it by saying they are evil people so they deserve to be treated badly and deserve to be hated by her. Her family won't keep the Torah in the way she thinks it should be kept so she has cut them off. Her family wants to be a part of her lfie and are sweet and kind people, but Melinda twists everything into an attack against her and created hostility against them out of petty disagreements or issues with them. so her inability to admit she is in the wrong and to forgive people has led to the deterioration of her family relationships and most of her friendships. And to her its just proof she is right since the Bible does say the righteous will be persecuted! there's so many things she comes up with to justify her rotten behavior. And it all stems from her issues from her difficult romantic relationships and her feeling abused and mistreated and neglected throughout her life. She has to protect herself and be on her own most of her adult life and no one cares for her so she had to always be on the defensive and in attack mode. and always being defensive she constantly saw people attacking her and disrespecting her and wronging her when it wasn't the case.
one striking example of Melinda's stubborn false twisting of people occurs with her sister. her sister when they were young was playing with Melinda and teasing her while they were swimming in either a lake or a pool or basically some kind of area of water they were swimming in. And so her sister was trying to tease Melinda and annoy her or something. just basic sibling teasing nothing serious. But Melinda, being so young, interpreted it very differently. so Melinda's sister was pushing Melinda under the water to mess with her just for fun. But Melinda interpreted it as her sister trying to murder her. Ever since that day, Melinda has believed that her sister tried to actually murder her, and has hated her ever since because of it. She has held it in her heart bitterness against her all these years because of that experience. it traumatized melinda and scarred her for life. Also her dad killed himself and that has left a very deep emotional wound in her heart and it caused her as well to go down this path she is on. furthermore, her being in foster home situation certainly didn't help as it prevented her from having the family love she needed to grow and function properly in society.
now all this baffles me in her current relationship with Marshall. She has allowed herself to be abused and treated badly by him yet she still stays with him. its very uncharacteristic of her, and I can only think its because she hates me that much that she would rather have him as protection from me and to prove to the world that I am wrong about her. I taunted her years ago saying if she and him break up then that proves I am right about her. I think that really got under her skin and now she will never leave him.
. I believe over all the samaritan torah is more accurate and faithful than the jewish torah.
