So let's get this right... the folks that want to come on here and bash Lifestyle Holiness, bash institutionalized church, bash UPC (which I'm not even a member of), talk about how they've seen the light regarding hair length, how they are at liberty to drink alcohol... and so much more... they aren't forcing their beliefs on anyone... they are just speaking their opinions.
But because mine is one that you find obtrusive, harsh, and disdainful... I'm somehow pushing my convictions on others....
Thanks... needed a good example of Double Standard.... appreciate you providing the updated example of one.

Bro. Robbins,
Always be true to yourself, to your God, and to your convictions.
You don't think "secular/sacred music" falls into the
Romans 14 category but it seems that most of us here do. About all we can do now is to agree to disagree without being disagreeable.
Printed words in a forum like this can result in coming across the wrong way because there is no body language or facial expressions or voice tones or inflections or emotions which are an important part of communication. We can be perceived as being judgmental, condemnatory, or self-righteous when we do not mean things that way. I have been "called" on some of the things that I have posted and after I re-read them, I could see why they were taken that way. Some of the things were perceived as self righteous, some as patronizing, and some as using too broad a brush and I have apologized for them.
We're all human here and therefore are still this side of perfection. We're all a little different than each other. God makes individuals. Someone said that if two people are exactly alike, one of them is unnecessary. I do not want to offend a brother or sister and I do not want to be offensive. In the years that I have been on here I have received three infractions. If the administrators or any member here think I have crossed the line or offended, then I am open to hearing from you and I will see what I can do to resolve it.
