As this STILL seems to be stuck in the throat of someone, and this IS the World Wide Web, I think he has a right to know.
I mean no one harm here, or any disrespect. I rarely show my face on this forum any more...it was by chance I saw the post re 'Pontiac' on Saturday. But here's the deal...I love my church home, and respect my pastor. I may be wrong here, and he will certainly tell me if I am when I speak with him, but I feel he has a right to know.
Bro. Beni, I hope you are not offended by any of this...

That's cool, by all means tell the brother. I trust he will understand where Elder Epley is coming from. By the way, you can feel free to offend me anytime, I trust you.

Re: The UPC is a dying movement!
I respect Barb highly we have been posting together since FCF I think? I surely do not mean to offend her. I encourage her to inquire about this.

Thank you for this, Elder...it makes me feel a little better. However, I am not speaking with my pastor to inquire further...he shared with me 6 years ago what happened.
Thank you again, and if I was disrespectful to you in trying to get my point across, please accept my apology.

I am just happy something happened to make you post some again! LOL!!! It was good to see your name on some posts. Remember you don't have to wait until you are mad to post. You can bless us with your thoughts on other things as well.
