Dr. Wright/Irthenvsl

[N.T. Wright Fan]

Perhaps a word of explanation is in order here. 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.

That's because they get huffy when a hitchhiker climbs up in the truck, puts his muddy boots on the dash, lights a cigar and changes the radio station.

Ease in, don't dive in. Post a short bio on the Roll Call forum and read some bios. Get to know the players before you start to tease.

That's good advice bro. I shall try to ease in too.

What absolutely brilliant imagery, my friend. I am quite serious, sir. That is some first-class writing. Downright Koontzian.

[Russell Roberts]

That was koontzian wasn't it. Tasty.

Rahab, I'm not suggesting that he broke into my home. But, as you can see, he DID hack my blog and how he cloned my IP address is beyond me. That must be some REALLY hi-tech software he's using. That is him huh, in the picture? Unless, of course.....it's someone parading as MIKE VANDE parading as N.T. Wright. Oh my goodness....you don't think...?

Okay. you started my day with an apology. Was that in advance, for all the problems you planned to start??

I think this is your (poor) attempt at humor, but it is not at all funny to me. Mike has been a long-time Jude2 poster and a friend, and there are those who might take these accusations a bit too seriously. I suggest that you pull this back a bit and make things right between you and Mr. Vande.

Ok brother. I will make it right. It wasn't mean-spirited. Though maybe it would be an ice breaker but it doesn't appear so. The 'Koontzian' reference is to Dean Koontz, an excellent author.

Pastor Gary, I don't think Dr. Wright was suggesting that you take the depth of your friendship with other members less seriously. .

Well, you should know, since you are him.

Pastor Gary,

This is not true. Ask Pastor Ables. You probably would not believe me because I am new on here and I have been accused of being him also. I'm not taking it personal. You'll find out and retract that in time and I'll forgive you.

[Jennifer Smith]

So, Wes, you know two other actual people here? Irthnvesl has not been posting as NT Wright?

I believe, Wyatt, Russell's (Irthnvesl) brother is NTWrightFan. I can be corrected later if I'm wrong. I base this mainly upon some of the wording in the recent interaction between the two .

God bless,
