For me it was different.

Hurtful remarks?

I have actually avoided most of the standards threads, having wearied of the debate.

Why does it hurt for me to smile?

It sure doesn't hurt me.

My apologies.. I need to step out.. been on an emotional roller coaster all month...

again, my apologies...

I am hoping for a full blown vacation. something we havent done since before Levi was born so that should be workable.... Austin, SA and a trip to the hill country... sounds like fun times if you ask me.

I understand. if my views became different than either side of the UPCI, then leaving would be a must....

I got in trouble yesterday for saying that to Daniel....even though I mean nothing ugly by it....just what you have said of yourself.

You got reprimanded for being smarmy.

Quite honestly, I don't know what you want me to say.

You are an older man than I am and have been in the ministry longer.

I am a young guy.

It does trouble me to see anybody who has believed and preached this message start questioning it, because of the many I have seen not be able to stop the pendulum from swinging once it starts.

I will advise this one thing--

If you do, God forbid, change your beliefs, please don't jackhammer the foundation out from under the folks you have preached to for years.

If your conscience won't let you continue preaching the Acts 2:38 message at some point down the road, please go somewhere and start over, or find a church that has never believed it.

I have seen too many confused and wounded people who never recover from these brutal transitions with preachers who have epiphanies in the middle of the race.

I have family, immediate family that will likely never get it together because of this phenomenon.

Elder Epley would not have been exactly thrilled with them back then.... there is a difference. crakjak. a big difference.

The point here is that there is such a difference between the real PCI and those that like to say they are PCI now....Brother Epley didnt say the old bunch was right and the new bunch is wrong. your accsation was that he takes issue with the new bunch on what they preach. he didnt do that.

He would take issue with both the old and the new but that is not part of the discussion.

If they are teaching the same message that they taught before, to utilize small group is a change of method not necessarily message. Maybe they have changed their message, I don't know, so of that you may be right.

No apology required, Berk.

Just confused.
