@sonship saidYou have been criticized for regurgitating thousands and thousands and thousands of words, verbatim, by copy-pasting, day after day, that were written by the same author. What are you trying to mock divegeester for?
@FMF
Have no fear Divegeester. FMF is here to watch your back all the way.
the Atheist / Unitarian coalition is so touching.
@FMF
What do you think I have quoted more of, the Bible or writings on the Bible ?
I would say I have not quoted the writings of others half as much over the years as I have referred to the Scriptures themselves.
And you know? People who Really are interested in the truth DON'T CARE what you copied. If it conveys what is true, that's what matters the most.
You have some people here who seem to think what we have in the Spirituality forum is a Talent Show going on.
And if I used 1000% my own words you'd be the first to complain - Who ELSE believes that?
And if I refer to WHO ELSE believes something, then its "Not original, plagiarism"
So you're damned if you do and you're damned if you don't.
So get used to my style. Or don't.
@sonship saidI think you should start a blog about Witness Lee and use it for your ministry as a self-styled and self-appointed lecturer. And then just treat this message board for other human interactions that are not of the aforementioned nature. Just a suggestion.

Once again, This guy Divegeester is so unique and original. Man, you are so innovative and one of a kind.
I think we should get you a Originality Trophy here every month.
Learn from him perhaps, instead of mocking him.

Oh, I know he credited Edgar Allen Poe. STILL though, Divegeester's whole thought is SO innovative, self made, unique, original, trail blazingly individual, he deserves the Forum's reward for most talented and original poster.
No?

The only shame comes when you don't acknowledge your source.

Can you show me the BIGGEST and most offensive instance in which I did not specify a source of a concept I wrote about?
Think back on the last ten years how many times you have seen in one of my posts this:
www.ministrybooks.org
Ring any bells?

But what is a "self - appointed lecturer" ?
Are you saying I should start all my posts like Paul started his epistles with an official salutation -
ie. "Sonship - a self appinted or divinely appointed lecturer"
Is that a salutation you think I should use before writing anything with any kind of confidence that I am impressed with what I am telling people?
Ie "Sonship - appointed by God to be lecturer to the Internet users at the chessatwork Discussion Forum. Grace to You and Peace."
Is that what I am lacking?
@sonship saidYou frequently do not reference where you have got information from and present it as your own. This is not 'offensive', but it does badly damage your credibility and integrity as a poster. Are those things not important to you?

@sonship saidThanks sonship; I’m blessed that I don’t need to steal my ideas from other people and present them in this forum as if they were my own

@sonship saidI am simply suggesting that you start a blog about Witness Lee and use it for your ministry which mostly comprises copy-pasting umpteen thousands of his words. And then just treat this message board as a community for other social and discursive interactions that are not of the aforementioned highly unoriginal/derivative spamming nature.
