I don't focus on the outward. I've never condemned anyone here to hell.
And notice you said "all they focus", so you are talking about all UPCers.
Well, if you were a UPCer wouldn't YOU get tired of seeing that sort of stuff over and over and over and over from people who are supposed to be brethren on a forum called "Apostolic friends forum"?
Yes it get's old and a lot of people don't come here any more because that's nearly all this forum is about anymore. It's old. Im sick of it.
