She simply wandered about like a 3 yr old would.

In the last few days, this board has been described as "full of reprobates" and to be fully avoided.

Is this really how you perceive other members of this diverse group?


Is this really how you want others on the Wild Wooly Web to perceive this board?

Going back to this........I do not feel this board is perceived as being full of reprobates and it saddens me that others do.

And the general term being used widely towards the board is why I started the thread.

We have defined the particulars Pastor Poster, how do we as a group over come the moniker.

If we can.

What must we do to overcome the moniker????

Why should we allow them to define the terms .. ???

This is about offensive language ... not appeasing those who use it ...

PLease keep that in mind as applying to every poster. Why should you be allowed to define the terms either?

You're missing it RR ... BOOM seems to be suggesting we must somehow orchestrate a movement to seem less like REPROBATES ... so that THEY DONT PERCIEVE AS SUCH ....

I went to Bible School with a liberal from Nebraska who did not have any trouble calling people reprobates at any time.

Words here can be twisted to the extent when quoted back you never believe you actually said what is being quoted.

I again ask myself if you are here to tear down everything a conservative says. From your posts it seems as such, as intrepreted by some. The words here are black on white (errrr navy on light blue) and can be so mistaken for something entirely different.

Indeed someone reading this may consider me a raving lunatic (perhaps I am!) and yet others can say I am correct. (I trust I am not in some areas). I am trying to find the middle ground, if it can ever be found at all with such a diverse group as we have.

I agree.

I post on other UPC froums and AFF is always referred to in a less than favorable way. Normally by men who post here.

Simply put, there is nothing short of total conformity to their will that will appease them.

Let me go on record as saying he is not referring to me. I am not sure I have ever even mentioned AFF on another Forum.
