Albanianization in Macedonia

[makedonin]

Damn it, I can't refrain my bad typing habit!

I see this slave argument used repeatedly! It is kinda ironic for me!

I wondered where does this slave mentality comes from?

Maybe they are just obedient Christians, cause God have spoken to them to be good slaves:

Slaves, obey your earthly masters with respect and fear, and with sincerity of heart, just as you would obey Christ. Obey them not only to win their favor when their eye is on you, but as slaves of Christ, doing the will of God from your heart. Serve wholeheartedly, as if you were serving the Lord, not people, because you know that the Lord will reward each one for whatever good they do, whether they are slave or free.

Ephesians 6:5-8

Macedonians were for fife hundred years good slaves, I guess all are now into heaven. So why are we asking modern Macedonians to go to hell?

Let them obey their masters and peacefully go to heaven! This life is dwindling away anyways, so it is the word of God!

Maybe we all have to become good Christian and make Heaven Macedonian colony!

I hope you get the irony, if not think harder in retrospective!

Makedonin,

Why do you keep trying to apply your uninformed and illogical "understanding" of the Bible when your lack of Biblical knowledge has been demonstrated time and again? Do you know what kind of a slave that was reffering to? Do you know how that differs to what we are referring to in the 'slave mentality'?

Your inability to understand the Bible stems from you reading a text completely out of context from the era in which it was written. The examples provided in the Bible need to be understood within the culture it was written in. A 'slave' in New Testament times was something completely different to what we understand to be a 'slave' now and completely different to what is understood as the 'slave mentality'. Just because the word 'slave' appears before you, that does not automatically mean that it holds the same definition in the same context as when it appears in all other places.

[makedonin]

Hey Vangel, did I touch your nerve? You slave!

Why do you keep trying to apply your uninformed and illogical "understanding" of the Bible when your lack of Biblical knowledge has been demonstrated time and again?

Demonstrated you say? Don't be funny. All it was demonstrated is that the book is a mass and illogical it self!

By the way, you don't have to be biblical scholar to understand what is said above!

That is why you are so touchy about it, isn't it?

It is OK to be, it is really upsetting.

But you can calm down, it ain't the word of God, so you don't have to be afraid about it.

Do you know what kind of a slave that was reffering to?

It is obvious what kind of a slave it is reffering to! Someone who have "earthly masters" and or their masters are also "people" not god or something!

No context will help you out of that!

Do you know how that differs to what we are referring to in the 'slave mentality'?

So what is the difference between the slaves reffered into the passage and the slavery in Ottoman times!

Nothing substantial.

Also I don't see any difference in the "slave mentality" of both!

Both have to follow and obey earthly masters! They are not free in one way or the other!

A 'slave' in New Testament times was something completely different to what we understand to be a 'slave' now and completely different to what is understood as the 'slave mentality'. Just because the word 'slave' appears before you, that does not automatically mean that it holds the same definition in the same context as when it appears in all other places.

We all know what slave is, you can try to polish that all you will, it won't change.

Slave is a Slave and there is no substantial change that have taken place into it!

Here is great definition by the Book it self:

Teach slaves to be subject to their masters in everything , to try to please them, not to talk back to them,
Titus 2:9

You see what slaves are, a spade is a spade, and what they are expected to do for the Sake of the Gospel?

No context will help you out of that!

So, what is the next advise we get from the great Book?

Each person should remain in the situation they were in when God called them.
Were you a slave when you were called? Don’t let it trouble you—although if you can gain your freedom, do so*.
I Corinthians 7:20-21
* don't gain your freedom, stay a slave!

So, Macedonians in Ottoman times have been slaves, but those who have changed it have broken the "word of God" cause they changed slavery for freedom, but they were instructed otherwise. So the freedom fighters are now in hell.

Wow, what a great revealing logic the great book have given us.


Fair well Vangel, I will drop you some irritating things once in a while, and cause few cognitive dissonance's for you.

That is a promise!

[Bratot]

You and your new reinforcement have polluted a perfectly good and required (information) thread with off-topic discussion and maybe the MTO Admin could get it cleaned up and move the off-topic stuff to an appropriately labelled topic in order to leave the original to serve the purpose Niko intended it to do. This is not the first time this has occurred under your diversionary tactics, Bratot.

You forgot to mention I work for UDBA

It was you that attacked Protivpropaganda and run away after and let RtG and Vangelovski save your poor arse as they always do.

[Vangelovski]

Makedonin,

You are a clown. You indeed do need to understand the cultural, social and economic context in which any text, not just the Bible, has been written, otherwise, you just end up looking like a...well, you.

In Biblical times, people sold themselves as slaves when they could not pay their debts or provide for their families. In New Testament times, sometimes doctors, lawyers, and even politicians were slaves of someone else. The modern equivalent would be working to pay off your mortgage. It was a voluntary financial arrangement that ended once the debt was paid.

What exactly does that have in common with the 'slave mentality' or even involuntary slavery as we know it in modern days?

That is only a dodge! Although that is partially true, slaves could have been bought for money! They could have been forced to labor only for food!

You could have been born slave as well, and the master would have been nice to you and give you food for that.

Look at here:

But if a priest buys a slave with money, or if slaves are born in his household, they may eat his food.
Leviticus 22:11

It was not like they were pets and all was milk and honey for the slaves:

“Anyone who beats their male or female slave with a rod must be punished if the slave dies as a direct result, but they are not to be punished if the slave recovers after a day or two, since the slave is their property.
Exodus 21:20-21

What is the difference with the concept of today?

Slave is a property of the one who bought him, he can be beaten up with a rod, could have been beaten to death!

Nice concept, wouldn't you say?

Do you also claim that we were not sold out by the politicians in 2001 and do you think one needs a "Dr" title from a Yugo (or anywhere else) institution in order to know that we were sold out?

Would this fellow below agree with that proposition (that we were not sold out in 2001) who, if I am not mistaken, is from Macedonia (Prilep) and has served some time in Idrizovo for his political activities during YU era?

Oд тие што не почитуваа блентави наредби да одат во комбиња како туристи на фронт не загина ниеден. По Карпалак се свести Македончето а тоа го знаеше секој Албанец и затоа побрзаа да издејствуваат потпишување на с-рамковен договор со помош на оној кој играше тенис додека Македонците гинеа под негова врховна команда.

Од тој момент на Карпалак немаше -запри сега, не пукај без да дадеме наредба, немаше одење по патики на фронт, од тој момент имаше прво пукај па викај стој,ореми се максимално па оди на фронт со сите расположиви средства кој лежеа неискористени по магацините.Токму Карпалак беше пресвртница во фингираниот конфликт и токму по Карпалак сите се затрчаа да ја запрат војната која беше на повидок ама во вистинска смисла на зборот.Во тој случај можеби некој друг ќе го извлечеше подебелиот крај зошто Македонците немаа алтернатива како што имаа Албанците.

Видов јас од Прилеп и од други места низ Македонија каква мобилизација имаше пред и после Карпалак,а сигурно кодошите им кажаа и на оние од UCK дека нема повеќе заебанција па побрзаа да иницираат с-рамковен.

Не би рекол баш толку дека сме наивни отколку реални,по Карпалак некако како наивните да ја согледаа реалноста па им фалеше само малку,онака потемелно,да го зачистат својот двор.

И? Го зачистија ли? Размисли пред да одговориш. За да не ти реплицирам после, еве сега ќе ти реплицирам на можните одговори.

1. ДА - Ако зачистиле дворот, кој беше на власт 4 години? Истиот смет?
2. НЕ - Тогаш не ти држи вода горе споменатото..

Ќе го зачистат сега доколку се пројави потреба под само еден единствен услов.

1.Гаранции од власта за непречена примена на воена сила во одбрана на сопствената земја со посебна напомена дека нема да има предавства на бранителите во Хаг и слични преседани.

Nice concept, wouldn't you say?

Makedonin,

I think you need to look into 'exegesis' before you can make any sense.

Exegesis includes a wide range of critical disciplines: textual criticism is the investigation into the history and origins of the text, but exegesis may include the study of the historical and cultural backgrounds for the author, the text, and the original audience. Other analysis includes classification of the type of literary genres present in the text, and an analysis of grammatical and syntactical features in the text itself.

Once you have gained a basic understanding of exegesis, or read the work of someone who does, then you may actually start making some sense. At the moment, you're not doing yourself any justice.

[makedonin]

What ever Vangel, what ever! I see, you don't have any argument about it.

I leave you be for now! I will toy with you later sometime....

[Vangelovski]

What ever Vangel, what ever! I see, you don't have any argument about it.

You need to make sense before anyone can respond intelligently. Using your uninformed views to interpret a text written 3000 years ago does not make for intelligent discussion. What exactly am I mean't to respond to?

If anyone wants to read your dribble on religion, and the informed posts by a number of other members, they can go to the Hellenic Religion thread. Getting back to the topic of this one, maybe you would like to give us your views on the Albanianisation of Macedonia?

[Mastika]

Macedonia is neither a republic nor a liberal democracy and yes, the freedom part is vague.

I'm sorry, but "Macedonia is not a republic". :S? Please explain.

[Bratot]

I did not attack anyone but passionately challenged his RAMKOVIST APOLOGIST position in a point for point reply and it has been left unanswered by PP. Start a new thread and name it PP and his apprentice if you like and claim whatever you want.

"Passionately challenged"

• is spinning BS anti-Macedonian propaganda
• Mr Ramkovist Agent/Apologist
• stupid apologist for the current Ramkovist clique in power now
• this “PP” now, IMO, is playing the role of an APOLOGIST for the RAMKOVISTS and other VASSAL politicians and their anti-Macedonian deeds. What changed your views? And the PP site is (and has always been) decorated with Ventilator iconography to boot, which has (and will) always repulse me ideologically..
• really don't give a shit what you think
• employed by the Ramkovist establishment to spread RAMKOVIST “PROPAGANDA”

It's amusing how you picked up such positive term "Passionately" when describing your primitive personal attack.

You see how much one single word can change the whole context?

That's called - C O M M U N I C O L O G Y and it would be very constructive if you used the same approach when addressing to other people, especially those you want to persuade in the ideology of Macedonian Cause.

[Vangelovski]

Mastika,

There is a difference between CLAIMING to be a republic and a liberal democracy and actually living up to that claim.

[protivpropaganda]

Anybody who has ever worked on organising groups for active patriotic work knows that they fail when people who come into the group are there for everything else other then patriotic work.
Such people can be either agents of our enemies or people with emotional issues (loneliness, conflicting personalities, dreams of grandure or just manipulative people looking for easy and trustfull pray).

Those that are agents come into the group under the guise of patriots. Those that have emotional issues quite often are themselves convinced in their own patriotic feelings. The reasons these people join such groups can vary but the end result is always the same, unabling of the group to be active or destroying the group altoghether.
This they achieve through the spread of discordance, stopping initiatives or just quarrelling with anybody that disagrees with them. They turn members one against the other to create a negative atmosphere within the group through the creation of conflict situations among the members.
No activity can be started because they will oppose or distract any initiative aggressively. After they create a negative atmosphere within the group they gather unsuspecting members to them through the promise of better ideas and stronger leadership in order to take over the leadership of the group.

If an agent is in question the group falls apart never to assemble again but the bitter taste of failure lingers on in the former members. If a person with emotional issues is in question then the group will, at least, be active only as a place where people gather to argue among themselves. In this way the group will not succeed in any of its primary reasons for which it was formed or the group will fall apart altoghether.

It is like a formula that never misses when it comes to a collective form of patriotic work. Only one group of the many I have formed or helped to form dissipitated because of the lack of material funds for its activity. All else were destroyed in the already described fashion.
Unfortunately I have witnessed a high degree of discordance among the members on this forum. People gather here only to argue amongst each other never coming to a conclusion or agreement.
Although I have read many quality posts of members which shows an attendance of true patriots I have witnessed that there is always some member who aggressively doesn't agree or distracts the topic altoghether.

I will stay on this forum because of the true patriots and hope to get to know them better. The rest will be ignored by me and I advise others to do the same.
Identify those that always distract the topic in a thread or aggressively do not agree to anything and just ignore them. Do not get pulled into their conflict creation attempts.

P.S.
Also have in mind that a true patriot can give an analysis which isn't favourable to his nation but will not intentionally belittle or insult it.
