[edit] Comments from 2004

Hey everybody - Just to let you know I'm actually logging in with my user name now and I've actually taken the time to set my signature preferences. Most of you have no clue what I'm talking about, but it's something that helps me out... --Jwinters | Talk 17:41, 10 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Your comment on my VFD entry came so quickly (three minutes) that I haven't even yet seen the whole VFD page with my last booboo corrected. And it's hardly any wonder that there are edit conflicts in putting thing on VFD. It took much longer out of my morning than it should have, I think. And perhaps VFD doesn't scale ... ;Bear 19:07, 2004 Nov 10 (UTC)

Yeah, that was my second time on VFD -- Jwinters | Talk 03:19, 11 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Ok, I've succeeded in screwing up today. I edited pages that were being deleted, so when I saved, it recreated the page. :-p Sorry to the admins. I'm going to stop for a while, since I seem to be screwing up so much. -- Jwinters | Talk 04:58, 12 Nov 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Joshua Harris

You might enjoy reading the following url:

It talks about what Harris mentioned and includes one person's account of how "effective" that message was. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Geocacher301 (talk • contribs) 20:37, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

With all the offense you seemed to have taken including feeling people dragged Harris through the dirt(or something like that) I am surprised that you won't discuss the points being brought up and say it isn't worth the energy. I have never received an answer as to why Harris doesn't share problems with his system and his not sharing problems he has seen in his own church. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Geocacher301 (talk • contribs) 15:44, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

You do make a point when you say that Harris "has addressed problems in his church. In the sermon which you referred me to, he talks about it." You say it accurately about addressing problems in only his church. That is great for the 2-3K people that heard the message and if you allow for internet downloads it might take the figure up to 10K. His book sold millions of copies. I cannot believe you think that Harris giving a message that reached so few people can now absolve him of all the problems he has created with his book.

What about the other millions that Joshua Harris hasn't been so free about sharing this with? Why wouldn't Harris at least shared these problems on his web page? That way maybe some of the other millions would be aware of the defects of the system he is promoting. If problems occurred in his own church then surely they are happening at other churches. One reader commented that Harris message hadn't reached the SG church she attended.

I image it is hard to admit to the masses that there are problems with a system he so zealously promoted and made significant dollars from. Harris would have to do some back pedaling. Apparently he does not have the humility to do that or is between a rock and a hard place with the home schooling crowd that he is in with. Maybe he is just ignoring the problems he created and moving on to something else.

I could excuse some for his being a young zealous person when he wrote the book (though his church he was in should have known the problems). Now that he knows it isn't as defect free as he seemed to indicate in his book he should share that with as many people as possible. This being absent from his website is irresponsible IMO.
