Not to fond of the adjective used to describe their leaving (my mother taught me that was cussin'

) - however, if they weren't determined to leave, why did they start making plans before Res 4 passed? And I'm pretty well convinced that this was a done deal in their minds long before Res 4 passed - that just gave them an out. (And for the record, I'm not convinced that Res 4 is such a great thing. Time will tell.)
There are many on that list that I deeply respect and admire - some of them, I question why they are leaving and wonder how it will affect their fellowship with some of us who don't leave. To me - that is the saddest thing about all of this. It is tearing up families and friendships that had been able to fellowship in the past - despite some difference of opinion regarding some standards.
