If I'm spouting off what I think about some guy named GrowingPains (without using GP's name) in front of a group of people who may or may not know you or what I'm talking about... you're not there... can you call that a confrontation? Or is it really more like priming the pump, stacking the jury of public opinion so that when it comes time for the kangaroo trial, the applause for my actions and my political position will be that much greater?
A one-sided rant against someone else who is not present or granted a voice is defamation, not a confrontation. Again... not my word, but yours and others posting in this thread.

Jaamez, I know what you mean. The problem is that he wasn't seeking to indict, PM just isn't stupid. He knows there is a huge undercurrent of young ministers in the UPCI plotting their way. He's making a public statement, that in my opinion after hearing the sermon, was not specifically directed exclusively to the Detroit meeting, but rather to all who are being tempted by what he considers false doctrine. You better believe he is stacking the jury, and since this isn't a court of law, I'm not sure he's wrong to do it.
I don't agree with him. I'll say that again. Clarifying, I don't agree with what he considers false doctrine, but I think his comments are kosher.
