I don't define filibustering as debating. After 20,000 post you'd think a person would be satisfied they've made their views well-known. Anyway, I've had enough of this love fest. I'm going to enjoy some gardening videoes. Isn't it amazing how 1 seed can contain an infinite harvest?!
Is that what your doing here? Do you need to be heard...awe..bring it in!
Do you know what circling the wagons means? Hint: it takes more than one person. Who are you to decide what's open and honest? It sounds like you just want an opening to impart your views.
You can have the last word because I do not want to get into pages and pages of bickering with you.
Whatever else you may think it entail, the phrase means to take a defensive posture, approximately the opposite of "open and honest." That would involve expressing ideas you seem to be afraid of, yes.

You are an accuser, just like the diety that you worship.
Love and doctrine should never come into conflict with each other - if so, something MAJOR is wrong (as you have already found out in that one group....).
Christ told us to love one another, to love God, and even to love our enemy.
Sounds simple, but nearly impossible (but for graces that only He can grant).
and Judge no-one, lest you yourselves be judged....
But at the same time, it's not a 'free for all anything goes'..... for He also stated 'IF you LOVE me, keep my commandments....."
The commandments He was referring to are the TWO that cover ALL the others - to love God and love each other every day and repent when we don't.
