Now, if you're finger is feeling itchy go ahead and reach and you can fall from the saddle like the rest. If not, we'll call it good and ride on. A Sackett always stands for what is right, not what benefits a certain affiliated party.

I was going to let it rest after I posted:

Oh, I see. Thanks Nate. I guess the pastor you called out by name for "saint stealing" is a really bad actor. I'm glad there are those like you who are better than the compromisers at that other place. You probably didn't really need the worldly types around messing up the certainty of your standards.

By the way, do you count the people who actually quit their jobs, sold their homes and moved to another state in order to break their ties with FPC and then moved back in state after a few years as being among the "saints" that were "stolen?" Seems like a lot of trouble for someone to go through just for the chance to wear a polo shirt.

What about those who were transfered by their employers to another city, say a city about 60 miles away? Did you help them load their furniture in a "saintly" fashion and wish them the best, or did you demand that they commute over 120 miles a day just to maintain their membership at FPC? And then when they finally did break away - how do you talk about them today? Just what sort of standards do you maintain?

Oh, one last thing... is Elder E. explaining these complexities to FPC membership to the new ones he's praying through? Or are you just going to spring it on them as a big surprise?

... but since you want to associate Elder E's good work with your own smear of a neighbor, well, I'll just post it again. Read that carefully, and think even more carefully about whether you want to to draw on me.

The real Tyrel would wouldn't waste a bullet point on you. How about you go up to Elder E. and apologize the first chance you get? This is his thread. I really don't think he's preached anything to you folks about showing the kind of attitude that you've shown.
