Unlike many message boards where people post anonymously, register multiple names, and generally post tongue-in-cheek, Jude2 is a community. Not a virtual community... a REAL community. Many of us have met each other face-to-face. We have had numerous gatherings attended by dozens of Jude2 posters. We know each other... visit one another... pray for one another... cooperate in mission and relief efforts together... hold one another accountable and take one another to task now and then.
Real people, real lives, real important to us.
You can't take friendships way too seriously.
I certainly appreciate that, brother, really I do. I too have those kinds of friendships.
I'll try to be more clear. It seems to me that some people here are way too uptight, and have very little sense of humor.
