Here's an example to illustrate the concept:

If Thad posted, "Respected poster seen sipping a Starbucks coffee in Tampa," I might post, "A fool and his money are soon parted." I would not be disrespecting the individual, but rather making a comment expressing my opinion about conspicuous consumption and preachers trying to fit in with the "cool kids."

However, if Thad posted, "Atlanta Bishop seen sipping a Starbucks coffee in Tampa," and I made the same comment, I could then be perceived as calling AB a fool. (I'd have used your regular forum name instead of the good Bishops, but I'm not quite sure who you really are. The voice is familiar, but I can't quite put a name to it yet.)

I can assure you - The AtlantaBishop was NOT in Tampa sipping on a Starbucks! I was in Atlanta - primping and preparing for my TBN debut!
I am not sure but it seems like somebody might have called me a fool for sipping STARBUCKS!!!!!!! If so - I am a SIPPING FOOL cause I LOVE it and have plenty of Starbucks cards to prove it!

Oh what a letter will do!
I read this to fast and read the word "primping" and let out the "R"!



Sorry

I find it difficult to believe that a "high up official" would even care about what Thad says or even about this forum........

You are probably right, but Pentecost (UPC) is a small world, after all.

In the other thread, I re-posted Thad's comment. My correction...he said "leaders".

Leaders, officials....same difference.

If true it smacks of not enough to do.

Thank you. I thought the same thing. If they are very high up, they shouldn't even be concerned with a forum. They should be like Nehemiah and not come down from the wall that they're building to listen to the gossip!
