3. I still contend there is a small contingent of absolute feminists who despise men in general on AFF. This bleeds over into many threads regarding men in ministry and the whole "standards" issue.

Pastor Poster-
1. Epley is who he says he is and only puts people in hell over what he HONESTLY believes to be found in the Word of God. That is actually easier for me to accept than a minister who would preach standards just for the sake of unity. (Of course I could never go to Epley's church but at least I could respect his position).
I think most folks that Know Bro. Epley don't have a problem with him because they understand his position and they also understand that Epley isn't a hypocrite. He lives what he teaches and teaches what he lives.
Finally, for all his gruffness, most realize that he is a softie at heart. He genuinely cares about people.
2. I haven't noticed it lately; but we may not be on the same threads and/or I may just not be tuned into it. I know that I sure did not appreciate it when it was blatantly going on the Sexy thread at the other forum.
3. How small is this contingent of absolute feminist, on this forum, who absolutely hate men? Care to name them?
I am guessing that you put Rhoni in that catagory and Cup Cake? (Which is but speculation on what you could possibly be thinking). Other than that, I am at a loss. Unless of course you hold all women working outside the home and/or those opposed to some of our traditional standards to be men-hating feminists...
Really would like to know more of your thoughts on this since you have brought this issue up many times.
