Cecil, your J talk is not an ethically neutral communication option, it's a worldly attempt to defend one's ego (okay YOUR ego if you don't want me to use a P term), an attempt which is easily seen through by any person who has the slightest knowledge of human nature. You are only revealing how vulnerable you are by your defensiveness. Your boundaries are too rigid.

Jesus made himself vulnerable. Remember J stands for Judging - judge not lest you be judged.

People may admire you for being clever, but they won't love you for it. When I read your past apologies, (not to me, a while ago i was looking back to see what people had talked about before I was on the net), I thought you seemed a nice person that I would want to talk to.

As I am intending to go into educational counselling, it would not be advisable for me to get into J-speak.

I'm sorry I thought you were a man, but it was really just your name.

I do not feel like a victim. the statement I made to Ronnie about you being horrible was said tongue in cheek, like a kid in the playground, as he realised. And also to get another viewpoint.

My experience of Alasdair and J-speak has led me to realise that the way I speak/write is not a problem, and J speaking can be.

I have been told that I speak very authoritatively, sometimes too authoritatively. In fact someone on the net thought I was a doctor or professional therapist because I sounded so authoritative on the stages of bereavement. I prefer to sound authoritative by speaking straight from the heart, via the intellect, rather than playing tricks. Jesus power was perceived to be different from that of the 'powers and principalities' and a different word is used to describe it, 'Dunamis'- personal inner power.

Encounter is preferable to counter.

I prefer to encounter rather than counter.

Take your pick.
