Or the phrase, "do you despise the church of God?" in vs. That's down from last week." Mood Watch would be warning him about that line. "Hey, how was church this week?" "Not too bad, only 10 people were irreparably damaged by the service. That's never a good thing for a church to hear. If Paul had had the Mood Watch feature as he wrote it, no doubt it would have warning him that what he wrote could be interpreted as sounding angry! That some of the words and phrases he chose could be inflammatory, such as telling a church that their meetings are doing more harm than good. The passage we read this morning is one of the most emotionally charged passages in 1 Cor.
I can't wait until they come out with an app called "Stupid Watch" to warn me when I write something stupid. Mood Watch monitors your emails as you write them and warns you when something you write is potentially offensive or inflammatory. So to help people avoid sending unintentionally inflammatory emails, one email client has come up with a feature called "Mood Watch".
They didn't see the twinkle in your eye as you wrote it. You were being lighthearted when you quickly popped out that one liner, but they read that one liner as angry and abrupt. You meant this but they interpreted it to mean that. Have you have ever written or received an email that tried to deal with an emotionally charged situation? Have you ever received an email that left you wondering if the person who sent the email was angry or offended with you? Have you ever sent an email, only to want to recall that email as soon as you hit the send button? If so, you've probably learned the hard way that email is uniquely susceptible to being misinterpreted and misunderstood.
