LOL

I kinda felt like visiting a UPC church I use to attend years ago, it's only five minutes away. If I go tonight I'll take a hidden camcorder and maybe catch them "busting a move" or "rapping to the beat."

Don't these scriptures just seem to scream out legalist?

"Lord, didn't I keep may hair above my ears and off my chin? The TV out of my house? Didn't I rule my wife? Didn't I speak in tongues during every service? Didn't I 'rebuke' demons and spirits of rebellion of those who would not follow these rules?"

Who's slamming the UPCI? If you're suggesting I am, you have very serious interpretation issues.

The Great Falling Away? LOL

Exactly...nuff said!

The bible does read "fear not little flock", so yes, the church is compiled from a small percentage of people!

The issue is really with your "unknown tongue" and not my interpretation.

How about the clarification, then?

And I confess that I don't see the sarcasm in your Obama ad either. What's your point?

Note to self... if I ever have something in my sig line referring to my genius.... I should double-check my grammar.

I agree. If I am going to try and pretend that I am a genius, I probably want to make sure I don't give myself away before I ever get the words out of my mouth.

As a wise man once said, "Better to keep my mouth shut and be thought a fool than to open it and remove all doubt".
