I don't think one has to agree with my org's decison, and or edicts. I can even appreciate a different point of view...but...some, actually, many posts I have read have surprised me with the anger behind them. Some of the members back in the day had been hurt by an organization too, and some were even still angry, but they posted with humility, love, and a Christ-like attitude....I miss those days. Now I am wincing before I go into a thread because I don't know what I will read...again.

Make your points...but check your heart

Peace out...

Hey Monk,

I naturally wondered if I just might be one you're referring to. I obviously take a 180 degree view of things from the UPC way.

But I thought I'd just offer this...Today is my 7th day on this forum and I'm keeping count of something. I've been told I'm going to hell 13 times. Believe me, my good friend there's a LOT of bashing going on but I have never come within a universe of telling anyone they're unsaved. So yeah, there's bashing but it's coming FROM the UPC as much, if not more, than toward it.

And I've been wondering...would you happen to be a bass player that once did things the Goodine way?
