(To greentruth) Then I say this as gently as possible: Please go away and stop posting here. Let those of us who find it helpful enjoy our discussion without your nagging. Please.

Back to the topic at hand. I have allowed myself to become derailed, and I apologize.

[araignee19]

Linda, that was awesome 

[OneOfMany]

I wonder if we could choose one fallacy a day to explore together.

[FeministRebel]

I love learning and discussing logical fallacies. Here's a great website that also discusses some of them, and has resources. https://yourlogicalfallacyis.com/

I can an do leave until there are over the top attacks on people I love.

[AbuLayf]

Greentruth, I just wanted to say thank you for continuing to stand for what I agree with you to be right before God, call sin out when you see it, and not back down when attempts are made to silence you. You are a rare source of light in a dark place.

[araignee19]

Rebel, thanks for the resources. I’ll have to check that out more later!

You are most welcome.

GRRR. This is so off topic on the thread. You have claimed to be member of A GCM church, to not know the Darlings, and now you say these are people you love which would tend to indicate that you DO know them.

Whichever is the case these people whom you think we are attacking are adults and are perfectly capable to stand up for themselves. You are showing poor boundaries when you take the place of their defender. Poor boundaries is what has led to many of the sinful activities that are ongoing at Evergreen and other GCM churches.

Now please stop taking helpful threads and turning them into battlegrounds. This is a thread on Fallacies. If you want to discuss something else start your own thread! If you want to discuss fallacies then please do comment. Lets learn together.

Wrong on several accounts, I attended ECC Church for over twenty years, moved about five years ago and attend a different church very similar to ECC, outreach oriented. I know the Darlings well, but not personally.  Oh, Ad hominen

Greentruth, might I suggest making sure your reply is outside the quotes before posting? Makes it very difficult to see what you are trying to say. The “preview” button is a good way to make sure it looks right before you post.

Sorry, I have seen this with others posting, didn’t know how they did it.  Bye for now, enjoy your weekend.

I have been very confused as to your connections with Evergreen and the Darlings. When I look back there are contradictions in what you say. That is not an As Hominem attack because I am stating what I have read, what you have posted.

[Greentruth]

Ad Hominem all the way. Your theory is obtuse.

  You all know when you are in class and there is the one person who still isn’t understanding a topic when everyone else does? The teacher respectfully moves on without them and stops engaging. Because it is now that one person’s responsibility to learn the material on their own and not slow the class down. There is no reason we can’t move on without greentruth. It’s not beneficial to anyone anymore to engage. Either he/she still doesn’t get it, or is refusing to “play the game.”  Either way, I’m moving on!

So back on topic! I liked this video from the site Rebel posted. Good explanation of why logic and critical thinking are important, plus looks like a cool resource.

I agree! With your assessment and your plan of action.

I am enjoying the learning process here. I will take a look at the youtube video later on. I have work to complete first.

I know the Darlings well, but not personally.

I question how well you can know people that you don't know personally.

[Greentruth]

That’s interesting, people on this forum who have NEVER met several people, and say they do. One lies and attacks me, and I get slammed. And you question? I beg to question.

I don’t play games when people’s lives are in the mix. Go back and read your first post. Boom, Ad hominem. Quite? Attacks on ministries for goodness sakes is why a few of us spoke up, and you say boom, we are back attacking, and then go into this so called game? But not to worry, I will not interrupt your game anymore.
