Where are all of the conservatives?

One thing that can help though is when discussing issues both sides refrain from the mockery or flippant type of argument

After all, Steve Epley and AtlantaBishop ate lunch together! Hello...an obvious move to the center!!! LOL!!!

Old Path and another member (i wont say the name) have been upset that a certain Lib has not been kicked off the forum

Coon and Steadfast- upset over the LB thread


TRIPPY, Trouvere and Amazing grace are ultra cons and they have been around


There have been quite a few ultra cons posting on the LB thread.

What is an LB thread?

I did not post there because it seems like the National Enquirer for apostolics. It looked like only a gossip thread, of which I am not interested. I am not judging the thread.

I apologize if I came off blunt. This was not what I meant. I am tired of all of the fighting I am hearing from apostolics and I am not attacking the facts of that thread or threads. I am just not interested in reading about all of the bad stuff in pentecost.

Sorry but the fighting was not invented by us. it was brought about by our leaders. the truth is, we are staring the worse possible split in the history of the UPC , maybe onness Pentecostals period, in the face and it's going to talked about because it is on our minds. there are friends, families and whole Districts being torn apart by it. If it's not of interest to you then that is your perogative. No apology necessary

True! It won't go away by ignoring it!

I understand. I grew up in California and most of my family and friends that are still there are getting hammered and having to make some hard choices. It is sad.

about the other, i know good and well acertain member whose first name starts with a "D" is the reason some cons wont stay around. i'll say no more but it's true

Silence denotes fear...................

That's ridiculous.

Is the lion fearful of the antelope as it silently stalks before the pounce?
Is the mother fearful of the child as she silently rocks him to sleep?

Then maybe silence just indicates that one has grown weary of bad spirits, accusing attitudes, and a constant attack on ones faith, or "standards" as seems to be the target. We get enough of that crud in the world, so why would one invite that from "the brethren" as well?


"afraid to tackle on certain issues"???

How about sick and tired of the fighting and negative spirits and murmuring that comes from so called "brothers and sisters" in the church. And yes, it comes from both sides. Yes there are nuts on both sides as well but there is a mistake that the liberal "nuts" are making. (and some who are borderline nuts at times) And that mistake is lumping everyone who is a little more conservative than themselves into the same pile.

Sure, there are hanky stomping, snot slinging psycho nut job "ultra cons" out there, but that DOES NOT mean that everyone who is a conservative fits that description. But so often we get lumped into the same group. When that happens, we often just throw up our hands in disgust, write those offenders off as the same foaming at the mouth idiots that they are accusing everyone else of being. Then they get ignored and the conservatives leave, and they can continue to beat a dead horse until they pass out from exhaustion. All the while, feeling like they "won" and drove the cons away by "proving them wrong".


Funny thing is, they then say WE are the closed minded ones!
Go figure.
