What were your initial impessions? Why did you reach negative
conclusions and what makes you think that the negative conclusions are
wrong?

The good thing about God is that He forgives. And, being a Christian
isn't so much about having a reputation as about being forgiven,
repenting, and having a second chance to do it right.

Hmm. Haven't heard it. I had the new album preordered but typed in an
incorrect date for the expiration of my debit card. The company
cancelled the order w/o notifying me and I've just never reordered.

In case Kurt doesn't answer, or even if he does, go to groups.google.com
and type:
"kurt evans" rebecca st james group:rec.music.*
Then you can read until your eyes fall out and draw your own conclusions.

I'm somewhat aware of the whole saga. I was just curious as to what
Kurt had changed his mind on and why.
Things are a bit dead in here. {:o(

Fair enough.
Thanks for the reply.

Or, if your luck holds out, you'll be handed a new one by a brain
surgeon's third of five children. {;o)

Sometimes it reminds me Jesus loves me.

I'm not very happy with the way she and her father are treating me
in the present either, but I'm trying to understand.
>Have you guys reconciled or not?
Not yet. We had a pleasant conversation at the end of her autograph
line on December 30, but she didn't appear to recognize me, and I
thought that was probably just as well.
Before the Sioux Falls concert I decided I'd try to talk to her dad,
then determine whether to try to talk to Rebecca based on his reaction
to me. He was cold as a stone. He acted like he didn't remember who
I was, but I find it hard to believe he'd treat a stranger that badly.
There were tears in my eyes.
I'm pretty sure I could have jogged his memory by repeating a couple
of the hurtful things I shouted at him in November 2001, but since
I don't believe those things anymore, I said a couple of nice things
I do believe and let him go.
At Jesus' mercy,
Kurt

You could tell him you're the creepy stalker guy that's been harassing
his daughter in newsgroups for years, that'd probably jog his memory.

Y'know, my wife and I are celebrating our 10th anniversary this year.
Kurt's obsession with a woman he's not in a relationship with has
lasted longer than that. Longer than most marriages.

Congrats, Jason. My wife and I passed 10 less than a year ago.
Anyhow, I haven't checked in on RMC in probably a year or more - this
RSJ thing is *still* going on? Good grief.

Mental illness just doesn't cure itself, you know.
Michael
Kurt usually just posts some random obscure political stuff to which
nobody responds. Once in a while he makes one of his (in)famous pleas
for RSJ to get in touch with him. And even less often, somebody asks him
about it. You have stumbled upon one of those times.
There really hasn't been much traffic around here lately. We had a short
discussion several weeks ago about the current state of Christian music
(ironically enough, it was started by a troll - the subject was
"Inquiry," in case you want to look it up).
Andrew
The Holy Spirit doesn't cure mental illness either.

Blogging at websnark.com these days.
Not so's anybody'd notice a difference.
In my experience, most good sagas involve dialogue. This seems to be more
of a monologue, and a repetitive and boring one at that.
-Jeff
His mercy forgave you when you didn't deserve it. Move on to His **grace**
which gives you power to live above simply being forgiven.
With grace, you walk in God's strength, not your own. On your own, you keep
coming back here, living according to the immature desires of your flesh,
like a child (not in the "let the children come to me sense), hoping your
antics will get someone to pay attention to you, simply ticking off people,
which really has turned into you being bait for the occasional joke or you
simply being ignored, since you have worn on so many people over the years.
Is that really what you want your life to be?
If you live according to the patterns of living which you've developed to
cope with life over the years, which have been prominently displayed here, I
sense that you will take what I've written here and parse it and break it
down and justify your foolishness, and you will carry on as is.
However, with graceYou *can* live above all of this.
Hehe. Oh some things...never seem to change huh? This has been
officially my longest recess from posting in RMC since it's inception I
do believe. Well..we were banned right before it started as I've told
many of you. btw I know a local who is an admin and he's going to
...check some old data archives :-). We *might* just find those
articles finally that were deleted from the archives which
included...100% of the things I personally contributed to
talk.religion.misc leaving only one xpost to sci.research . I'll bet
somebody would not like it if all that stuff got posted :-). -Bob
I'm sure that when Jesus takes your psychotic little child in, a lot
of people will breathe a sigh of relief.
