Then they are not taking advantage of feedback that could be useful
to their growth.
Of course, if that feedback is given in a negative way, people are
not going to listen to it anyways.

And what feedback is that, Ed? Where does it come from?

You're a smart lady, you tell me.


That's an evasion to the questions.

Gave your questions some more thought, and I apologize if I misconstrued
your motives for asking them.

The feedback that I mention usually comes from a friend who in a loving
manner provides constructive criticism, which is quite a different thing
from being judgemental.

All of us make judgements all day long. We do that when we choose our
friends, or to ensure our safety, etc. It would be impossible to live
successfully without making them, but there is a very important
distinction between making judgements and being judgemental.

I know I'm being judgemental if I start thinking that I'm somehow better
than anyone else.

Do you put the discussions here into that category? What I'm saying is,
do you think that anything posted here in the 2 threads was a friend in a
loving manner providing constructive criticism?

Sandi

I don't really see anything in these two threads where I can definitely
say that anyone was addressing *one* person in particular with their
posts.

In general, however, I see very little to no constructive criticism in
here in regards to discussions of spiritual belief, although I have
received some very encouraging and helpful constructive criticism in
email.

ed

Thanks for clearing that up. I got the impression from your comment that
you felt those who disagreed with the judgments made in these threads were
rejecting an opportunity for growth in some way.
