My uncle said that as Paul Mooney walked off the platform (or behind it), God spoke to him and told him to remove his name. I just have to believe if he said that's what happened, then it did. If that's what happened, then he doesn't owe an explanation to anyone; he just had to obey and I respect that.
I agree with you.
But it's much easier to think evil of someone and fabricate conspiracy theories.

Don't sugar it up now Kim. Re-read your first sentenc ein the original post. Anyone reading that get sthat your point was clear.
You imply very clearly that he wasn't hearing from God. You make it clear that your opinion is that he was acting on his own tryin to getthe position then when he came to the point of election decided the safe money of being a Pastor was abetter bet.
The only way you could have been more clear in what you meant was if you posted it on a neon sign. Don't turn and try to hide it because someone called you on it. Own up to it. You don't like PM's ideology so you took an opportunity to question his integrity and motives. Fine. But don't try to hide it and then spin it back on me for saying somethign about it.

He DID really say that. And I see no good reason to call him a liar.
Please don't get what I said twisted by implying that I was trying to call someone a liar because that was NOT my intentions. What I meant to imply was that as much passed down information we get on this forum, if this is what really happened to Bro. PM then I don't hold anything against him for following after God in the manner he did.
Two points in which we can agree in your last post...1. I do not agree with PM’s ideology and would add approach in the last year towards those he disagrees with, this includes his report as head of the “Emerging Committee” and various documented preachings in the last few months against “emergents” in the fellowship. ..2. I did..give in..my opening declarative statements of post #1, ..my opinion about I what I have inferred from his well documented actions and words, from primary evidence (committee report and votes in his favor) , and anecdotal evidence from his peers that PM engaged in politicking until he “heard” from God. I respect what I perceive as your altruism and naïveté, that somehow, this election process is somehow a simply a spirit-led one in which leaders scale Mount Horeb for direction -- but the recent politicking within the fellowship, especially the blatant one’s like (WeDeclare) ,are open to analysis and discussion even if you would rather stifle varying views with attempting to claim moral ground and attach sinister motives to another's opinions with blanket absolutes about hypotheticals...The internal struggles that PM felt will continue to be a point of speculation up until the point he went behind the curtain and reneged and contradicted signals he had made to the conservative voting bloc, whether Nitehawk thinks it questions his integrity or not. And any financial realities are fair game too.
The bottom line is that you're calling PM a liar.
