Subject: How literal is the Bible? |
Bible Note: Angel, Thanks much. I'll reserve my "statements of faith" to the notes section from now on. Honestly, if I knew who in the wide world supervised the site, I'd just respond concisely to their directives. It's easy enough to do. I've had to manage some 400 employees in years past, and am well capable of taking orders from higher authority when orders are issued as well. However, I've been directed every which way by maybe a dozen people now, and the confusion of authority roles is well-nigh overwhelming. I feel like I'm on a crew of employees with no proclaimed leader, and all of the employees are giving each other orders. And many of those orders are conflicting. I can greatly appreciate it if the longer-term members don't sense any role confusion in the matter, but I can assure you that it's extremely confusing to the newer members. I can further appreciate it if the supervisors are trying to act humble by not proclaiming their authority. Maybe they feel bad if they tell someone that they're a supervisor, I don't know. They don't like to play the role of the bad guy, as when I had to discipline employees or release them from their employment. Thus far, I've heard pretty much vague inferences to supervisory status of this one or that one from indirect parties, but seldom anything concise. The appearance is that the supervisors are just lurking somewhere out there in the shadows, supervising in non-supervisory ways. I've had one person leap out of the shadows of obscurity thus far, and suddenly restrict a thread on me, but then no word from that one for an indefinite time period thereafter. Then another got angry and frustrated when I wouldn't submit to his authority, despite failure to declare his status. I'm sorry, I just don't know these things, without being informed, but thus far I've heard a dozen voices declaring every which way. - Blessings, Reighnskye |
