Anyone see the picture of Steve Epley and AtlantaBishop on Apostolic Contender?
 
I'm curious how they got a picture of Epley and AtlantaBishop.

RandyWayne 11-12-2007 09:23 PM

It was posted here.

Totally tactless and tasteless article, that is if the sheer parody of a "stereotypical cartoon-like" ultra con wasn't so hilarious.

And it DOES mean that they are trolling through these pages regularly.

Joseph Miller 11-12-2007 09:39 PM

I don't care. One of them is banned here and still strolls through. I say ban his IP address.

revrandy 11-12-2007 09:42 PM

Caya is a member of the GNC.....or was a while ago anyway. She might even be a member here as well.

Hmmm..... I give an atheist a ride to class almost every Tuesday evening. Does this mean I've lost my faith and just don't know it yet? Does atheism rub off with soap?

In fact, if I hang around a bunch of knuckleheads will I become one myself....? See ya! :bolt

Tina 11-13-2007 05:06 AM

I just don't understand why people want to keep giving these people the attention they are seeking. As long as they are getting links to their stuff posted here, they are just getting more hits to their blog. The hits to their blog will just make them think people care what they think.

Stooping to their level by making fun of them just makes the members here look bad. JMHO.

tv1a 11-13-2007 05:36 AM

Would that make him a " _postolic"?

Commedian Ron White says it best. You can't fix stupid.

Since stupid can't be fixed, one may as well make fun of it.

You mean them "apostolics" are viewing this "apostolic" site? And those "apostolics" are concerned that two of the "apostolic" members of this "apostolic" site had lunch? :ursofunny

Why is it, that the church is so dysfunctional?

Tell me the church doesn't need Jesus!

Jesus, help us!

Sorry, you are right, it got under my skin when they post such off the wall philosophies.

DividedThigh 11-13-2007 08:09 AM

ever since the apostolic contender came out it has been referred to by most even in the upc as the apostolic offender, there you have it, dt:bliss

When your beliefs take a beating like they do here on the 'ole forum, it's nice once in a while to know that there are legitimate whackos out there that really do deserve labels, disagreement, and a little, JUST a little...humor thrown their way.



BWUHaaaHaaaahaaaa:ursofunny

timlan2057 11-13-2007 05:48 PM

What is reprehensile is the way Reckart throws in: "Oh, of course I'm not implying anything about their relationship but that they are friends."

... by that of course implying the opposite if someone is willing to believe it.

This guy needs a good, swift kick in the rear and being knocked up the side of the head probably wouldn't hurt either.

Price did the same thing on his "website" by implying that HO and Lady Rev lived together and of course you know what he was implying.

Reckart reminds me of a documentary I saw of a guy who was head of a chapter of the White National Socialists in Alabama.

The guy was really nothing more than a piece of white trash who was a little eloquent - just enough to gather a small group of dysfunctional social misfit boys around him that finally found some piece of identity and a sense of belonging.

Well, it's the same thing here - look at Price and Smith - fat, uh ... far from being matinee idols - probably ostracized by EVERYONE at school, much less not knowing what it's like to kiss a girl or even have one look your way and DEFINITELY not going to be rocket scientists anytime soon.

Well ... Reckart gives misfits like Price and Smith a sense of identity and belonging and a false sense of superiority over normal, well-adjusted folks.

So of course he'll have a somewhat limited following of dysfunctionality masquerading - very poorly - as religion.

I've said before that much of radical conservative pentecostalism's "converts" are people just trading one form of dysfunctionality for another.

Yeah, yeah ... I've seen some Baptists it would apply to also.

Reckhart just takes it to worst extreme possible.

You probably just summed up the thoughts of 99.9 % of those of us on this forum. Thanks Timlan !! great post.

LOL I know both of those ladies. NOTHING could be further from the truth.

Some people will say anything just for the sake of talking.

Sam 11-13-2007 07:59 PM

Just remember, Pastor Gary Reckart is our brother whether we agree with him on everything or not.

That's what I was gonna post.

As for Price...interesting that BP was also a follower of Reckart..spews the same vile from his mouth about others and calls everyone here reprobates....which never prevented him from visiting here though and both are "big boys" if you catch my drift. I wonder if they are cousins? I wonder if BP works with dead bodies...oh so many questions

Let's just pray for these folks.

Praxeas 11-13-2007 08:35 PM

Good grief. Reckart is listed in wikipedia...

Quote:

He is a leader in modern Pentecostalism and a recognized expert on Church history. He is a writer and a successful debater in support of the name of Jesus Messieh (Christ) against the guess names Jehovah, Yahweh, and Yahshua (see) [1]. It is estimated there are over 8,000 world-wide who now follow the Messianic doctrine and teachings of Pastor Reckart. One identifying trait of those who follow Pastor Reckart among Oneness Pentecostals is the celebration of the Lord's Communion Supper only on the annual day of the Jewish Passover. He restored this annual observance to the Apostolic people in 1982 in opposition to the New Year's Eve practice and the "oft" daily mass.
He is a leader? Anyone can claim to be a leader but WHO recognizes him as an 'expert' in church history besides himself and his followers? Successful debater? lol

Id be a little surprised if his personal following was over 8k across the world

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dr._Gary_Reckart,_Sr.

Praxeas 11-13-2007 08:38 PM

all the links are to his sites....where did Reckart get his Dr from?

And there you have the problem with wikipedia. Anyone can enter anything, and it will pretty much be left alone unless challenged. I discovered the inaccuracy of it by accident a while back, and since have been highly sceptical of any references to it. I have no doubt that either Reckart or one of his followers entered that themselves. I cannot believe that college professors still accept wikipedia as a reference source.
