Hitch, you might take some time to examine your own heart in this. It has been you who has been most uncharitable and disrespectful here on the board because you are not getting your own way. You have been contentious and rude over our not wanting a rock n' roll interpretation of the national anthem promoted here on The Highway. ***
This is patently false Chestnut, my complaint is clear and repeated, my complaint is that you claimed this version was 'real bad' and and disrespectful to the national anthem and did so offering NO support for your claim. If you cant understand that read it over again . See # 50062
Sorry, but it is you who needs to take a step back and consider your heart, prayerfully before the Lord. Is this music more important to you than how you treat others here?
It is a deception on your part to pretend this has to with music being more important or Hitch not getting his own way,it is all about you making unsubstantiated claims ,refusing to support your charge and defaming decent young men and using a 'Christian ' forum to do so. You should be ashamed at that and this deception . [/quote] What does that say about your priorities? [/quote] I made no demand that you replace the post I complied with your request for explanation, that is far from your characterization above, and you did replace the post which flies in the face of me 'not getting my way' .
I don't know much about you Hitch, many years ago, we experienced other rock versions of the anthem by a young rock star called Jimmy Hendrix. He was the hero of a drug infested, godless culture that was anti-authoritarian. His music was the fruit of his own depraved mind. It represented something that many of us who lived through that time, have had to repent of. NO, I am not impressed by that "musical" presentation that you shared. I could get into many different reasons but will refrain for they are the least of our problems here. Your attitude is a chief concern. Adopt christian ethics and see my attitude brighten
A christian forum is no place for the Staff or any one else to make unsupported disparaging claims against any one. That is my complaint. that has been my complaint .That will be my complaint , until you take the proper steps to make it right.
I dont care about your past and I dont care whether you like this version ,I've been perfectly clear about my concern on this matter. Your strawmen cant stand up any better than Pilgrim's #2 could.
Had I witnessed you or Pilgrim being disparaged at a self proclaimed christian forum I would have done just the same thing--Demanded the speaker prove or at least support his claim or back off, that door swings both ways.
*** Chestnut had asked me to explain why I wanted to make the original post, the reader can decide if this is the rant of one insisting on his 'own way', my response below;
It was posted because I enjoyed it and found it profoundly stirring.
The response , has been 100% positive and usually very enthusiastic, with the sole exception of The Highway.
Im sorry you think the membership of The Highway is so fragile,I dont.
This is a different video, same audio;
Would you mind telling me exactly what is ' really bad' about this? I can understand some God hating ' Amerika last' type saying that but I need an explanation for your comment.You can learn a little of the bands history here;
http://www.madisonrising.com/Note ; All involved have so far declined to offer any explanation as to why this version is 'really bad' and disrepectful despite my consistent and repeated requests from the outset, in bold above.
