When I use the name "apostolic" I'm referring to the apostles doctrine, according to the book of Acts, not the name of a church. And, you are right about people as a whole. I'm amazed a lot of times at the loving, kind people who don't even go to a church, and then I look at some who do and their mean hateful attitude. It does make you stop and think!
Don't think about it too much.

[QUOTE=ILG;1182173]Yes as much as I am for allowing people to emote....discussion between members who disagree should be private IMO....the forum should be for emoting and getting some support or figuring out where you stand etc. But battles between members, I don't think should be public. Just my two cents....[/Q
I, personally don't think just members are posting. Some are posting that have not been to GR since they were 18 years old except to visit. But, they know everything or so they say.

Here, let me see if I can put this fire out with this gasoline!

This will be my last post as this has not really helped. Yes, it let us vent and get it out there what is going on, but no real solution has been found except the one we already had and that is prayer. I have tried to be truthful in the things I posted . I slipped up once and again I apologize and hope for forgiveness. I hold no bitterness toward anyone and love and miss the members who left and want to say that I am happy for them, that they are having Holy Ghost filled services. Obviously God is smiling on their endeavors as they are growing in members. Praise the Lord!! I feel they did what they feel God wanted them to do and us who stayed are doing what we feel God wants us to do. They also serve who only stand and wait. Also to the person who posted that us waiting on a miracle was like expecting to find a pony at the bottom of a well, God can put one there ye of little faith.
If everyone were clothed in integrity, if every heart were just,frank,kindly, the other virtues would be almost useless,since their chief purpose is to make us bear with patience the injustice of our fellowman.

He who slings mud loses ground.
All of us just want to be in the will of God by doing what we believe to be the right thing. It's all OK, as long as we accept the fact that others can look at the same circumstances with the same heart for God, and come to a different conclusion. Many blessings to all of the GR saints!
