Randy, there was NO attempt to "get" you. I was sincerely curious in my question. Randy - I agree that it is sad to see where some have gone and are going - however, you expressed your opinion in a very judgmental and condescending way. THAT is what bother me about your remarks!

I know that he has abstained from attending family and friends events over this "stuff" - however, I also know that he has "shunned" events that are totally church related because his personality is just not the "social" kind. I have known of his wife and children to attend such events when he didn't. (even those non-church related) So that argument doesn't hold water.... I personally believe that he has "shunned" some things because it is his personality.

I also know that his grandfather (whom we all loved & respected) continued to host and welcome ALL his family members - and that family runs the gamut from UC to those who have walked away from any semblance of what we teach (doctrinally & dress) with everything in between.

Your comments striking a nerve seems to make you feel proud of yourself. Are you proud now that you have convinced these people they made the right choice to leave the group you are now representing?

Your "humor" sounds a whole lot more like hatefulness. JMHO

So sad....

I have been a member of AFF for so many years and any difference of opinion or thought it always comes to this...

Actually read where the UPC is mafia....among other nice adjectives given...

I'm always amazed at the almost mirrored reflection of the Political world and Religion...

Any Conservative Thought is always Hate Speech...while the Liberal thought is all love...

Interesting that the idea of tolerance is only Liberal Thoughts allowed...

Amazing...

You have carried the torch and the desire to be the priest of absolution towards others and with that opinion there is no hand extended with love or friendship from you. From your point of view it is 'Turn or burn'.

Jesus knew that Judas was going to betray him long before Judas did.......but, he never treated him any differently than any of the other disciples.

That's why when He said "one of you will betray me" they all asked "Is it me?"

We could learn some lessons from Jesus, but unfortunately, sometimes we don't. We learn a lot of lessons from the Articles of Faith tho.

Just as I thought - - those pics were already posted so all you've been looking for ARE the ones that you don't think are dressing up to your standards.

They made their decision to go...

They probably attended the AMC conference too...

It doesn't make a difference to me personally...

I will only post this once and that's all..

I am sorry to see so many who have left what they used to believe regardless of reason, man or otherwise... they have made their choices... I would still be their friend...and am friend to some even in the pictures... I disagree with them and would discuss it with any of them... and still walk away as friends...and I may joke with them a bit... just as they would me...

Renda...I completely realize where your coming from being that I probably personally offended you...and of course you made your comments concerning my "judgemental" attidtudes...

....but I just posted my opinion like everybody else does...

again... God Bless You...

Standards may divide on interpretation but a True Love for Souls should never bring division...

I said what I think to be true... the fact that you disagree, disallow or don't like doesn't make me or you right or wrong... it will come down to the Word of God in the End...

Our opinions, righteousness, holiness, won't matter.....What will matter is we lived by the Word of God...

You can call me Judgemental, Ugly, Whatever, If I can pull another out of the fire... I will do it everytime... but don't expect me to compromise my experience and belief's for the sake of "winning" someone...

I love my friends, I certainly love my family *wife's family included* they are close to my heart, but would never publically argue, disagree or otherwise... I have friends who walk a different walk, talk a different talk, live by a different set of belief's but that does not make them any less important to me or loved....

So feel free to say what you want to say... Live like you want to Live.... but be ready as I hope I will be to give an answer for my life when it comes time...

Once again, God Bless You...
