Jimmy, big boys don't cry. That is the first thing you should remember. Second there is a feature where you can report a poster. If you (and these others who agree with you) use the feature, you may all get your wish and have me removed for ever. Then you and the three other posters can have a bless me club. Jim, why am I a smart aleck? I am assuming that is what you were trying to call me? I am not a smart aleck, because I happen to know why I am making my statements. Anyway, let's deal with why I responded to your post the way I did. You were being the wise guy, and you made the shot bringing up beards and Dagon bushes. So, to my first post in this thread, I brought it up again. Instead of repeating myself with "Whatever the pastor and the members want in that building." I chose the obvious, you who can't accept what these people want in their own church family, can leave. Or since you are the one who sees a brighter day, then by all means start a church. You can get people who agree with you to attend. That offended you? I can't imagine why? I would surmise that Jim is a man's name? A man with strong opinions concerning no facial hair on the platform? Also has an issue with Xmas trees and trumpet blowing angel statues on the platform? Anyway, I posted what I posted, I guess it was effective because you answered me.

Much more at stake? If the entire church congregation and its ministry want clean shaven lads with evergreen trees from one end to the other. So be it. If you, and your family don't like it, then keep it to yourself and work it all out with your family. You as the husband leader should of already worked it out with the elders of the church. But, if you can't deal with it anymore then leave. Nothing complex, nothing too hard. Because after all look around you, they all like it. Pastor Bocephus, and MaMaw Thibodaux are happy as a bowl of banana pudding with vanilla wafers to be Gillet unto the Lord with a sprig of mistletoe. Why? Because they had been doing long before the Internet came about to be the pastor, prophet, teacher, apostle, and evangelist of the new age. Nothing wrong with discussing beards? No, nothing wrong with discussing beards especially when we can go find about 40,000 threads on that one subject in this forum. Anyway, I will still comment on any post I feel to comment on, and you feel free to do the same. If you and EVERYONE want me booted by all means report me.
