ILG and Lois, two good examples of wound lickers.

People need to move on, get over it already. They claim they moved on from us. But lo and behold they are talking about issues that are like 30 years old.
Seriously? I met an individual who saw my family and then walked over to me and started telling me how they "use to be" UPCI. They went into a long soliloquy of how legalistic, and WRONG the UPCI was, how they needed to leave. Come to find out that was 40 years ago? I then asked him was this horrifying sad tale of woe supposed to encourage me to follow him into a brighter day? I just asked him what was his purpose to come over and give me his ecclesiastical tales from the crypt? He didn't know what to say. But I told him, to think about 40 years of unresolved issues with a group. How he would go out of his way to approach a stranger would be so driven to muck up bad feelings. Bad feelings to a stranger who obviously is still a part of the religion he left so long ago. Every man's burden is the heaviest, and people of all walks of life are going through it from time to time. Yet, telling me that I should get rid of my pitbull because your's bit you, has hardly any impact on me. I just haven't the same experiences. I know, I know, the pastor burned you with cigarettes, made you tithe 100%, and made everyone move to Guyana. But, listen, that didn't happen to me, and even when things went sideways in the Apostolic church, I still made it through, and learned that not everything that claims Apostolic Pentecostal will enter the kingdom of heaven. Like I always say, my best day in the world, cannot even compare to my worst day in the Apostolic Pentecostal movement.
