Starting to run out of dead horses to beat. I guess this is what keeps these forums going...

That's because I just started it this morning. But, anytime you get to the meat of a discussion that might touch some spots that people are uncomfortable with they start saying things about "beating dead horses" and "bashing" because it hits too close to home, I suspect. And also they are taught organizationally that any criticism about the organization is wrong and that the organization must be defended constantly. Truth stands for itself though and is self evident and needs no defending. Truth needs presenting not defending. Let the people decide.

I see nothing wrong with the statement you made and challenge. But I think in all fairness, THE ISSUE is being accused of being a dead horse, since so many spoke the same thing so many times here. -- not your post.

Could be. I don't read all the posts in the forum.

Re: You Can Fake It All
ILG you need to be careful you don't judge the Word of God by man. The failures of man does not change the award of God.
Look to Jesus and not man. Man is sure to fail you.
Anyone faking it is to their own detriment.

Re: You Can Fake It All
You have to admit that when UPCers see constant railing against them they have a legitimate reason for believing there is some bitterness there.

Could care less how you feel about UPC or any organization. I agree with you on some of your points. I think UPC bashing is a tired subject, that's all. You paint those who criticize your thread with the same broad, sloppy brush that you are painting an organization with. Please... Carry on.
