Newman ... forgive me .. I don't mean to be crass ... have you read through CBO's posts ... and the links he provided to Dear Rhoni ... he was congregating in UPCI churches before and after backsliding .... He also has stated that he is not attending a church right now ...

I am sorry you were burned in the past ... and I can understand you being at cautious ... but I think there's enough here to make some basic assumptions ....

Daniel, the burn of the past was difficult to over come.

I wondered if this was for real myself.

It has the earmarks of a classic troll at first read.

Well if we are suckered into showing compassion toward those that are disenfranchised by society and prompted to go help those souls....this is great gain. Even if some do not believe this poster, a prompt to reach out to those with AIDS is not unworthy of attention. If anyone has a hard time believing this thread, then see it as a parable....there are still things to learn from it, regardless of its veracity.

You all cut Newman and HO some slack.

If it was a pastor who had burned them, the mercy would be overwhelming.

If there is true repentance; then why wouldn't he be treated with much love and respect as was posted by two other posters who watched their churches deal with AIDS?

Why doesn't he unequivicably say that even a monagamous homosexual relationship is a sin?

And what kind of churches was he going to where parents did not care for and comfort their child because of a pride issue?

I think time will tell....
