Moderators Gregory Matthews Posted April 3, 2015 Moderators Posted April 3, 2015 One video of about32 minutes and the 2nd of a bit over an hour. I don't think that many people here are going to view them. Sojourner 1 Quote Gregory
Scuba Posted April 3, 2015 Author Posted April 3, 2015 One video of about32 minutes and the 2nd of a bit over an hour. I don't think that many people here are going to view them. I'll bet you that if I put a two hour video up about sex or sports you would have a boat load watching and commenting. Quote Sometimes our behavior needs time to catch up to our salvation...
Administrators Gail Posted April 3, 2015 Administrators Posted April 3, 2015 Not me... Sojourner 1 Quote Isaiah 32:17 And the work of righteousness shall be peace; and the effect of righteousness quietness and assurance for ever.
Members phkrause Posted April 3, 2015 Members Posted April 3, 2015 Me neither Gail. On occasion I will watch long sporting events, like the SB or WS, Finals etc. Never porn, and for someone to imply that about a group of people is definitely judging in must peoples book. Sojourner 1 Quote phkrause When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice; But when a wicked man rules, the people groan. Proverbs 29;2
JoeMo Posted April 3, 2015 Posted April 3, 2015 Me neither, Gail and phkrause. Even if I were disposed to do so; I sure wouldn't watch it here on CA. Sojourner 1 Quote

So, you believe that the CA members are typically people who would come here to watch a 2-hour video of sex and/or sports? Well, in my thinking, your statement disqualifies you from thoughtful consideration of anything that you might say about the people who populate this forum. phkrause 1 Quote Gregory
Administrators Tom Wetmore Posted April 3, 2015 Administrators Posted April 3, 2015 I'll bet you that if I put a two hour video up about sex or sports you would have a boat load watching and commenting. Aside from the rudeness, this comment is missing the point of why the two videos in question likely would not be watched. It is a combination of length, low production values, limited topics of interest to most people and type of presentation. Even a topic for which one might have a keen interest either of these would be hard to endure for long. I actually started to watch both of them. The first one was essentially a narrated power point using what sounded like a synthesized voice. Nothing that effectively hold ones attention for long. The first 5 full minutes of the second video was dead air time of video of an empty stage. If you waited through that the rest was mostly just lecture on a very narrow topic. JoeMo 1 Quote "Absurdity reigns and confusion makes it look good." "Sinless perfection is such a shallow goal." "I love God only as much as the person I love the least." *Forgiveness is always good news. And that is the gospel truth.

Members rudywoofs (Pam) Posted April 3, 2015 Members Posted April 3, 2015 Agreed... long talks / sermons are rather boring.. Quote Pam Meddle Not In the Affairs of Dragons; for You Are Crunchy and Taste Good with Ketchup. If we all sang the same note in the choir, there'd never be any harmony. Funny, isn't it, how we accept Grace for ourselves and demand justice for others?
JoeMo Posted April 3, 2015 Posted April 3, 2015 Like Tom and Pam; I started watching both videos; and after 5 minutes of each, I was done. between the synthesized voice on the first video and the empty platform on the second one, I was bored. Maybe the people who made these videos were bored or asleep as well. That's why they had to resort to a synthesized voice and an empty platform. Quote
Scuba Posted April 4, 2015 Author Posted April 4, 2015 Take it easy people, it was only a figure of speech. And who said it would be porno? So what you're telling me is that in order for a Christian to watch a video it has to be high quality, expressive and entertaining because those are the three qualities that make the contents of the video true. A 30 minute, life changing video is much too long to watch but a 2 hour movie is no problem. Hmmmm we are in a mess. Quote Sometimes our behavior needs time to catch up to our salvation...
Members rudywoofs (Pam) Posted April 4, 2015 Members Posted April 4, 2015 any good public speaker knows s/he must grab the attention of the audience at the very outset of the discourse...otherwise, you're sunk before hitting the water.. (by the way, it's the same concept for written articles, as well) Quote Pam Meddle Not In the Affairs of Dragons; for You Are Crunchy and Taste Good with Ketchup.

Scuba Posted April 4, 2015 Author Posted April 4, 2015 Moses was not a gifted speaker. My intention is not to entertain but to convey truth. I wish I had the gift of speaking but I don't. Quote Sometimes our behavior needs time to catch up to our salvation...
Administrators Tom Wetmore Posted April 4, 2015 Administrators Posted April 4, 2015 It isn't about entertainment. If presented with two plates of food, one a cold grey gloppy looking slurry of mush and the other a warm attractive mix of vibrantly colored veggies, an enticing looking roast, a crisp green salad, and a cool glass of grape juice. Understand that the nutritional content is identical between the two, which would you prefer to eat? Quote "Absurdity reigns and confusion makes it look good."

aka Posted April 4, 2015 Posted April 4, 2015 Whew! time now for questions: Check this out for a full comprehension of the little words "to", "two", and "too". Topic title: Replying to Why are to people of God sleeping? ? How long are you guys going to keep on feeding this ? Why keep on lapping up this guy's Quote
Scuba Posted April 4, 2015 Author Posted April 4, 2015 I guess it just boils down to this, you don't want to know the truth that is contained in the video because if you did, nothing would matter or stop you from watching it. But if you don't want to know, there is nothing that will make you watch it. It's pretty simple logic. Quote Sometimes our behavior needs time to catch up to our salvation...
