Proud people hate to be criticized even constructively but love playing the critic (pharisees). Now, it is true that nobody loves criticism. I don't like it one bit. But if you're proud you simply cannot handle it. You're not just defensive, you are unable to process the criticism as anything but an attack. When you're criticized, you immediately generate a thousand reasons why the critic is wrong, doesn't understand, isn't looking at the facts. Sometimes critics are wrong, especially if the critic is another proud person, but because you're proud, you can't assess honestly whether the critic is ever right."<br /></b><br /><br />And the idea of a bald MK is making me want to avoid the south side of Binghamton!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05346224469658951999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3224671339660011652.post-11425096150748499432009-08-25T02:46:15.350-07:002009-08-25T02:46:15.350-07:00I have two English Churches from which thieves hav...I have two English Churches from which thieves have stolen the lead. I can't afford to replace either roof. I am wondering if an American Judge would allow me to take the roof of a schismatic Church in Binghamton.

Men, leaders, fighting over money. Brothers and sisters making harsh judgments about others in the congregation based on nothing but their own ungrounded assumptions. People going from person to person grumbling and criticizing and complaining about the behavior of others without even trying to talk face to face, just spreading bile into the body. I'll be honest, I've been tearing my hair out over the last two weeks wondering what to do about this."</b></i><br /><br />Even that caused <a href="http://binghamtongoodshepherd.blogspot.com/2009/08/thursday-notes.html" rel="nofollow">upset</a>:<br /><br /><i><b>"Some have expressed worry, however, regarding visitors.
