Haven't you perfected the art of saying something you mean then turning around and says it means something else?

Dan,
Considered in light of the FMD overhead, a case might be made for this word usage to be accurate. You see, 100% of every dollar passing through the IAM foundation goes to the designated ministry. Some, including the men who started the IAM foundation, saw the overhead as unnecessary plundering of contributed funds.

Goodness gracious sakes alive...
With the exception of a few posts....what a thread of off the hip potshots.
Brother Epley and I don't always see eye to eye on things but there wasn't anything wrong with his post and nor was it bashing.
He was just saying that, for those who do choose move on both now and any other time, there is life beyond the UPC.
Amazing...

How is it that the UC's that want to leave are bitter? I guess maybe you libs don't read your own post. The main bitterness I read comes from the Lib post. Maybe nobody read the "Goodbye Kansas Preacher" thread, and we're bitter? The fact is that there is a large overhead with the FMD, we've been using IAM for a while for that very reason. Why do I want to put money in an officals pocket when I can put 100% in the missionary pocket? Also, we've been going to AMC for a while, we also take our kids to heritage. this will be an easy transition for us.

Isn't plundering, as a general rule, nefarious?

(You edited your post so I don't have your last comment)
It is an opinion of the circumstances.
I have sought out ways to send monies directly to missionaries because of my disdain with the amount of monies given to missionaries that never make it past Missouri.
It has been discussed on here (or on any number of AFF predecessors.)
I think that a clearinghouse that gets money to missionaries is a really great idea and one that is far more efficient than what is currently in place.
To feel this way and express that opinion isn't a potshot... At least no in my opinion.
