I just saw this thread. I am glad you got to meet Timmy in person and was as impressed in person as you were online. I also think he is probably a great guy to get to know and would probably enjoy visiting with him in person as I enjoy his posts here at AFF.
Of course I have to ask (and somebody may have already done this since I have not read the thread) did you go ahead and offer him the position on your church board?
I don't think we even brought it up! I know we trashed the Admin quite a bit! (it's a joke, don't get too worked up)

Speaking of, I need to "bump" my response on my last response to your last response. I've never "bumped" a thread before. I'll go look for it.
Oh my! We forgot to talk about that! Guess we'll have to set up another meeting. This time, somebody needs to print an agenda.
Tell notofworks you will need to have your attorney present for any discussion regarding the position and to be prepared to play hardball when the subject of compensation comes up! It should cost him to be able to brag about having an agnostic on his church board!

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.
"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.
"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."
Quote from Ethel Goss (widow of 1st UPC Gen Supt. Howard Goss) book "The Winds of God"
I figured. I love the Ultra-cons and miss them. But that statement use to burn my hide and it still does. Why don't we say, "Lost as an Ultra-con with no love and a bad attitude"? I like that one better.
And studies show that those most likely to strike out at gays usually struggle with it themselves. Wonder why Epley liked saying that so much?
"Ultra-conness shall cover a multitude of sins."
