To get in the secret meeting you must know the secret handshake.
The handshake is with the RIGHT (conservative) hand with ONE (one God)squeeze.....
Then you reach over and grab the other man's left hand and check for a WEDDING BAND (no jewelry)............
Then you do rock, paper, scissors with one man doing the rock and the other doing SCISSORS (as a metaphor for Christ smashing hair-cuttin scissors)......
Then with both hands squat down and making chopping motions just below the KNEE (minimum length for skirts)........
Then a hacking action like an AXE (Acts) chopping wood with the right hand on the left arm and then immediately making FINGER PISTOLS (2 38s) with each hand............
Then with the LEFT (liberals) hand make a cutting motion at the THROAT (affirmation statement)...................
Finally, FOUR (Resolution 4) fingers raised on the right hand up in the sky with a quick clinching of the fist (no tv)..........................
Get this down before conference so that you will be allowed to enter this extra meeting.

When a newspaper posed the question, "What's Wrong with the World?" G. K. Chesterton reputedly wrote a brief letter in response: "Dear Sirs: I am. Sincerely Yours, G. K. Chesterton." That is the attitude of someone who has grasped the message of Jesus.
The problems are more severe and significant than even this double standard.
There are people who have been driven away from God by Pharisees posing as 'Apostolics.' Countless others have been hurt, injured, or spiritually or motivationally handicapped in some way. People have lost their confidence, had their trust violated, and souls are headed for hell because of it. The offended aren't going to take their children back to the place where they got their first religious slap in the face.
Guys like you and me defend conservatism because we see the good in it, and probably live proper overcoming spirit-filled lives. It's uncomfortable and unnerving to face and acknowledge the negative aspects associated with our particular set of beliefs and lifestyle selections.

Please do notice the smiley.... It denotes humor... or at least an attempt at it.
I put a smiley on my post too.

Why? Because a conservative has acknowledged that there are problems in the ranks?
Would it still be "excellent" if a liberal had acknowledged bitterness, willful ignorance, doctrinal error, and an inability to abate the tide of compromise were a serious problem among ex-UPC churches and charismatics?
Or do you think I was simply accurate, timely, and diplomatic, yet still firmly standing my ground?
I don't yet know what it means that I have received so many compliments on this thread.
Thanks, though.
Of all the things I posted on this topic, I think this line was the best:
