Sad Observation of Threads: LET'S CHANGE DIRECTION!

Standard threads have always been a part of freedom to speak on these forums and as you may have noticed over 90% of voters didn't see the pants on women issue as a heaven or hell issue.

Consequently, I don't believe that standard threads are as Anti-Apostolic as some would like to think they are.

I object to linking divergent views of standards with anti-Apostolic threads and willful sin threads. I further object to characterizing standards as "traditional views of righteouness" as if all who hold a different view of standards are unrighteousness.

I'm obviously not speaking as an 'owner' but as an Apostolic. The traditional views of righteousness included what some call 'outward standards'. I'm not against discussion of most subjects but I find it amazing that most every subject ends up in a 'Let's cut the UPC down while we're here' mentality.

Miss Newman, I'm on this forum more than the traditional 'preacher' forum because I actually enjoy seeing different views discussed. Discussed is the key word there... something you're very good at. However, we have some that are completely satisfied to say, "It's that nasty ole' UPC's fault".

That is what I'm against.
