CONSISTENCY!! And the Affirmation Statement

[NLYP]

hmmmm
Many reads and not many comments......I understand.....Its hard to get punched right in the face and jump back up.....I am waiting for a spiritual giant to get up and rebut this!

I can't count how many spiritual giants I know that signed their personal addendum to the AS and sent it in renouncing the tv stance which they had never taken and some of the other "personal conviction" statutes stated. No one took their licenses away or stopped preaching at their churches! The founding pastor of our church helped start the PAW and UPC. He was quoted as telling his congregation that he would personally buy anyone a tv if they would get rid of their telephone! This was a very prominent ds at one time. Unity is not conformity. The early pioneers got that. What happened along the way is anyone's guess.

Good Luck with that.

I've been to more than one Packer game so I can't rebut.

Isn't it funny that something so "damning" as a woman wearing pants isn't mentioned? I've always wondered about that.

While I do think that is clear in scripture.....I always wondered why that was not adressed.

Well, someone told me that they believed it was left out due to other countries where pants are not worn by men or women. ~shrugs~ Afterall, we are the UPC"I", not the UPCUSA.

Ladyrev, as bro tenny as said for many years we have such a tendency to major on the minors and ignore the majors, to bad, i personally believe the whole thing was a witch hunt, there are plenty of reasons to shame people but to what avail, just my humble opinion, dt

NYLP - You are Great and I like you and I agree with you but then again - I have compromised everything and gone totally down the tubes by being on TBN.
Did you know that they make you sign your name in BLOOD that you will NOT say a word about ONE GOD and water baptism or holiness and that you have to say TRINITY at least THREE times if you want to be on there????????????
You know - I thought about it - but then three big ole BODY GUARDS (I mean armorbearers) were staring at me and one put his hand on his hip like - uh he might have been PACKIN" so - Lord help me - I SIGNED IT - but ---- I did not really mean it - I mean - It was an affirmation statement that said - I renounce ONE GOD and promise I will preach THREE GODS and that women HAVE TO WEAR make up, jewelry, cut hair and BRITCHES and that men HAVE to have FACIAL HAIR and a ring or two and talk about PROSPERITY and sowing seed into the THREE GOD MESSAGE!
I SIGNED IT - BUT I DID NOT MEAN IT! How's that??????????????
