Sad Observation of Threads: LET'S CHANGE DIRECTION!

My point exactly! I do not believe it fair to lump standard threads into the other threads that Steadfast complained of. And how many people expressed giddiness that someone left the UPC? Why are we judging the majority by the minority?

Ownership has no bearing on the degrade of topics recently.

What one says as an owner or administrator carries more clout than me speaking. So I think it important to clarify when a big stick is being used.

90% of WHAT voters- How many voted. This is not 90% of Pentecost. Surely you are much smarter than to quote bad poll percentage as fact. Or do you do so simply to build your side only?

Give me a break! It was 90% of the voting forum. Hardly a sample of Apostolic at large. I never expected that my post would be construed to suggest that the group was representative of all Apostolic churches. But it does indicate that the majority of people who took the poll either did not feel that a particular standard was a marker of righteousness OR that over 90% of those taking the poll were unrighteous in the first place.

If so; why not close the forum down? Surely there are plenty of places where the righteous 10% could post.

Thank you.

Not to diss you Sister Newman. You bring thought to the table here and I like to have thought to be challenged.

Yes, my post to you said the same thing. 90% of the voting forum...

Glad to be appreciated and "Newman" works well too.

I personally, like to call you "counsellor" out of respect for your position!

"Counsellor" coming from you has always seemed charming. But I understand that I am just like everybody else on the forum and enjoy the almost equal footing here.

Otherwise in real life; I would never carry on many of the conversations that happen. Wouldn't be respectful to be so disagreeable!
