Goodbye from AE

Post by American Eagle »

After thinking and praying about this last night and today, I've decided to leave The Town of Odyssey, for a handful of reasons. I'll explain them in brief, so you may understand my point of view.

1. I'm wasting time. Forums have their place, but I believe it is my time to move on. I aim to serve God with my life, but my time here isn't spent as good as it could be. As Ephesians 5:16 says, "Redeeming the time, because the days are evil."
2. I must take a stand. In my life, my family has left many organizations and churches because of these places' pulling away from Christ. Christians, you don't know what you're getting into! I can't remove gambling from here, or do away with demonic celebrations, but I can take a stand, and therefore leave. I know many will disagree with me here, and that is fine.

I really will miss so many of you! You're helped me grow tremendously as a Christian and I cherish what you all have meant to me. Here are some of these users: Brad Dillard, Tyler, Iron and Light, Amethystic, Ben Linus, Catspaw, Danae, Eugene, humdedum, Peachey Keen, InHisArms, Irwin, Jelly, Jeremy, JesusIsAlive, Joyfully13, KODY 105, Laura Ingalls, NateMaxwell, Ryder, Anna><>, Samurai Neil, Kairi and Sapphire. If you don't see your name here, don't worry; it's not because I don't cherish you, it's because I hadn't added you to my friends list yet. ;)

If you would like to stay in contact, feel free to email me at my personal email address: [redacted]! I also may come back someday, but I believe God is telling me to leave for now. I thank my God upon every remembrance of you all! You all are awesome and I hope to stay in touch. :D This also means I must resign as Pastor of Second Church, so I apologize for that inconvenience. Admins, feel free to do what you wish with the church and my sermons. To anyone I've offended here, please accept my humblest apology.

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. May the Lamb that was slain receive the full reward of His suffering! God bless you all! :)

Sounds kinda like one of Paul's letters, only shorter. Random observation. :lol:

I shall miss you and I want to let you know that I support you 100% and always have. :yes:
The good ol' ToO.

Dude, AE, I'm sorry to hear that. :( We never *really* got along, but, "iron sharpeneth iron" and all that... I've always enjoyed our debates, as well as our NFL exchanges. :( Mainly our NFL exchanges. You should leave the board except the NFL threads or something. :(

Indeed, I've enjoyed our football discussions! They were lots of fun. :) I thought about just leaving parts of The ToO, like staying Pastor, but I believe I need to leave altogether for now.

Indeed... I used a few sentences from Paul's letters. ;)

Thanks to you all for the goodbyes. :D

So long AE, I don't really know anything other than that to say, we didn't get along either.

Farewell, AE. Sorry you felt the need to leave, but if that's what God is telling you, then it's probably best if you obey. :D

:D Huzzah and Wooten, I've added you! I simply hadn't added you as a friend yet. ;) Goodbye JJJJ, EC and Anna!

Bye AE! :(
now I'm back to not really *knowing* anybody, lol =P
but I'm glad you're getting off if you feel you need to, I've felt like that on a few sites also, it's just like you need to get off and get back to real life instead of just computer life =P I hope you get a lot done while you're off, it'll be a lot different without you here =P

Have fun! \:D/

goodbye, even though I never really got a chance to know you. I think you're a really awesome guy and it's great you're obeying God by leaving the ToO.

Goodbye, AE. I must say I will miss the rather humorous banter that went on between you and... well pretty much every member that liked to argue.

Goodbye, AE. :bye:

You shall be missed. I hope your real life goes well for you. :truce:
The Lord is not slow about His promise, as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing for any to perish, but for all to come to repentance.

Goodbye, AE. Sorry that we always seemed to focus on our differences instead of what we had in common. God bless you.

Farewell, American Eagle. I shall miss you terribly on the ToO.

I sense parallelism between this action and the Sheppard's leaving the theater committee in "The Big Deal."

So this explains that weird PM...

I'm sorry to see you go, AE, but I admire your ongoing dedication to doing what you believe is right. :) I hope that your time away is profitable, and if you do decide that the time is right to return at some point, that would be great! :D
