You're right ... you don't give up. But often times when you hit people with Biblical terms and language, you're can get that glossed over look in the eyes because they could see someone coming at it like this as being preachy ... and most people don't like being preached to.

This is an excellent example of topic dilution

Right. I'm an employee of Cointelpro. Right. Or maybe it's an example of you can't entertain that someone else might have a better bead on this than you do. I'm done.

The topic itself is forum sliding.

A lot of times people also think well you're not perfect, so who are you to tell me... We need to get over that mentality because none of us are perfect.

That's just too obvious. That convincing language is something you'd say to a child.

Ignore people who doesn't want to be preached. We were instructed by Jesus Christ to preach. He taught us how it is done.

There's "preaching" and then there's "preachy".

Please define "preaching" and "preachy".

Let me get this straight. "Preachy" is pretentious. And "preaching" is the real action. Am I correct? Well I agree that I don't like the fake ones.

Preachy would have pretention in it, I would think --- air of superiority. Preaching would be offering the information. But even then, it would be the method in which one preaches. Do you keep them coming back for more?

What until he rolls out “trust the plan”

I thought he meant trust God.

I’m sure he did. My point is that we always fall back to a position of waiting on others to solve our problems instead of taking action. (Rational action)

He who? Remember .... internetz. Can understand the implication like we're talking in a real room.

I lost track of who all the preachers were but I’m assuming one of them will end up using the words “trust the plan” at some point.

We can’t always sit around waiting for someone else’s actions to save the day. We need to be doing it.
