Stunning Arrogance

[skyrider]

Who needs those ex-wayfer "friends"......all it takes is a good whiff of former corps staying for an extended visit and then, you're reminded, again, of ALL THE REASONS why you're so thankful to have escaped twi's elitism and stunning arrogance.

Aww....nothing quite like the smell of hypocrisy and arrogance in the morning.

The "friendly questions" seemed more like snobbish elitism and upmanship.

1) We have our own home fellowship.....but you don't anymore?

2) Do you go to church? Do you fellowship regularly?

3) We don't live in the past (strong implication that you DO)

4) Person hardly listens to what I say before rushing to speak...

5) Uugh.....do these former corps have all the answers?

6) Hmm....where have I heard all this spiel and arrogance before?

7) Drive to your city and visit you? Umm......no thanks.

There are STILL ex-corps out there who KNOW how to walk with God....

......better than twi

......better than geerites

......better than CFF

......better than CES

......better than Finnygan, etc.

No, no.....it's not that they use all the twi buzzspeak words or classes.

Nope. But the stunning arrogance of KNOWING WHAT'S BEST FOR YOU and yet,

you haven't seen them in 8 years.

Any former corps like that........YOU ARE NOT MY FRIEND.

As the saying goes...."With friends like that, who needs enemies?"

Give me MORE enemies.

"We don't live in the past."

And, yet, that's precisely what some do.

A hypocrite in all his might, so wrong in that he thinks he's right.

The wierwille model of elitism has spawned hundreds upon hundreds of wannabe-vp

in the cities across the country. Stunning arrogance is pawned off as spiritual

leadership.

The lyrics of this song come to mind.....

Some man's come he's trying to run my life,

he don't know what he's askin'

.......

.......

He can't even run his own life,

I'll be d@mned if he'll run mine.

I've discovered recently that the vast majority of the old "friends" cannot function socially outside of the four walls that enclose their "home fellowship".

I won't say discovered exactly. Its more like.. I found that nothing has changed.

Even the promise of free beer won't pry them away..

socially I'm fairly dysfunctional as well. But at least I'm trying a few different things.

what a great phrase "stunning arrogance"

[Kit Sober]

arrogance is one of the great killers of relationship with the Holy Spirit. Moses was meek above all men, and he knew the Lord face to face. Arrogance and its supercilious air is always my enemy because it's death to my relationship with the Holy Spirit, which is so very precious.

I used to have friends like that who all needed enemas.
