Most religions and groups don't stand at the doors of their meeting places with a to do list. They teach their neophytes how "they" do it. From ILGs of the world to the Emma Boastranglers all have their certain views, beliefs, to do list. But they go about relaying that information differently. When I get an opportunity i'll visit certain groups, most if not all try to work on the potential customer the minute they're done with their preaching, lecture, or 20 minute dance routine. It is a plea of a return visit, or for you to share a meal, or come back for the second act. In short, they just want you to join. It isn't mentioned, but that is the main focus. One group who I knew a member, had their leader ask me why I don't have a beard? I asked him why should I have a beard? He then said "so you can look like Jesus?" I replied "you mean a Middle Eastern black man?" The guy almost fell out. The groups' men all wear beards, and wear kipas, they call Jesus, Yaseaihyah. Their women wear hoods, not upside down Chinese take out boxes like Emma, but hoods. They look like Grim Reapers. But when you visit these jokers they don't meet you with a laundry list. You hang around them long enough you will "get the message." My buddy who is a Branhamite, never came out and read me the instructions on how to fly with Willie. As time went by and we built a relationship he shared all that was on his mind. But you know what the phenomenon of that is? What I believed was in one ear and quickly flew out the other. He always speaks to me like I believe William Marion Branham is Superman. Don't get me wrong I constantly remind him what I believe, but he like others who have the "Stepford Wives" glow, and "Charlie Manson eyes" let the new information fall to the ground and trample it under foot.

So, if you walk up and say we believe women don't wear pants.

They say, what about having to build a parapet around your roof?

You got you a parapet Brother B?

Huh?

Then move on to start praying for me in their make believe Hebrew.

I have no problem with people choosing to wear skirts over pants to honor Deut 22:5 as long as they don't twist that scripture to say if you don't agree with their opinion of expression that you are an abomination to God and going to hell. Different strokes for different folks. Those who claim others with different opinions are going to hell are legalists...those who are happy to practice their lifestyle (however they choose) without condemning others are practicing what they believe with my respect.

If someone is an Atheist, a Jew, a Catholic, or a Muslim, if they don't convert to Christ will they be damned?

We're not talking about converting to Christ, we're talking about those already converted disagreeing with an interpretation of how Deut 22:5 should be applied.

So, different strokes for different folks as long as they are in the narrow way called Christianity? Those who claim others with different opinions are going to hell are legalists? Was Paul a legalist when he penned the words in 2nd Corinthians 11:4? How did Paul show people to be happy to practice their own lifestyle (however they choose)? Yet, practicing what they believe with your respect is only to the narrow way and the strait gate? Are Catholics saved? Is Emma Neckbone and the Amish and Mennonites saved?

I am Apostolic Amish, because it's convenient for me. That means I follow Acts 2:38 the hardline way. I also think you are lost and going to hell because you drive a car and don't preach headcoverings. You will make excuse because you are a compromiser. I say that with utmost love and respect.

No, you're not and no, you don't.

You need to seek professional help for your Dissociative Identity Disorder.

Emma, I hear you practice voodoo, and listen to Abba on your hand crank victrolia. Anyway there is no such thing as an Apostolic Amish. You would be shunned big time. What happened to those Yoder boys in Ohio would also be your fate. But you can't fool me, you are on the internet. Forget driving a car, and wearing a robe and sandals. Me thinks you have some flying monkeys in your closet.

Hey, Emma I have a picture of you teaching a Sunday School class.

Now that your rant is over can you explain your point. It went plumb over my head?
