I find interesting...

That both ends of the spectrum say the same things....

On CAF...Conservative Apostolic Forum....

They are saying wonderful and halleulia about an impending split of the UPCI....

They celebrate the leaving of many men from the org...

Same on AFF...

Many here think the best thing could happen is this big time exodus of UPCI men or ministers.....

Interesting that both ends of the spectrum say the same thing.....

Is it not interesting that few of either end of spectrum are willing to extend the right hand of fellowship and move a little more to the center...

This is why we need a healer.....

We need a healer to appeal to the far right and left......

And of course here many will fire away even offering personal insults....

Just as they did with the same subjects on the CAF......

Very similiar spirits and people....

Both forums....

The UPCI Needs a Healer

Nah, you are reading me wrong. Its not an issue of "who decides what is higher or lower" That's completely NA

If you decide peanut butter is of the devil and will never eat it again.
And I decide peanut butter is fine, then yours is a stricter standard than mine.
Now maybe "higher and lesser" were not the best words to use, but nevertheless, that's what I used.
Just because yours is stricter, or "higher" doesnt mean either of us is right, or wrong, it just means our standards differ. "Higher standard" and "lesser standard" were not meant as a measurement of commitment, but just a way to describe the differences in our convictions.

BTW, my whole "argument" has nothing to do with using TV to reach the lost, but simply my choice not to have TV in my home. Advertise on TV all you want. And if you want to risk being perceived as the same as all the other loonies on religious TV, feel free to preach on it too. Maybe you can change the perception. I am just saying I have chosen not to have one in my house, and stated the reasons why.

Huh? WHen and where did I sound like I wanted anyone, let alone everyone, to start watching MTV or Myspace? Talk about hissy fits and hysterics
When you deffend something, you give the impresion that you support it.
MTV and Myspace, are part of TV and the internet. (thus my problem with them, and my reason for filtering the web) You deffended TV and the internet so vivdly, it gives the impression you support it.

I didn't bash anything. Why are you throwing a hissy fit?

You're impossible....... I give up.

The UPCI Needs a Healer
Now this, I agree with. Unfortunately it is a mirror of whats going on in the political world in the USA as well.

The extremists on both sides, are getting louder, and moving further and further to the extremes. They are also getting more vicious and in your face about it.

In that context, its not just the UPC that needs a healer, but our whole world.

Now... I wonder who that might be............

Jesus Christ. The Ole FRINGE_NUTTER may not know much, but he knows that. How many folks are seeking The Healer? If we they seek Him, they will find Him.

Winning?

Losing?

I think the losers are the ones who can't handle the majority vote regardless of which end of the spectrum it originates or lands on.

Winners?

Could it be said that those hungry to win the lost are the ones with a winning attitude?
I agree. My statement was from the perspective of rkentsmith not mine.

I am not UPCI.

My father was in the 1970's.

I think the whole resolution is 35 years past it's relevane.
