The fact is that there are some things that are sacred to some.
There are things that are sacred to me. I am not one of those things. Folks questioning me doesn't bother me any great lot.
However, I do have a very deep reverence for the things of God, and when my spirit becomes grieved, I quietly make my exit.
That line is in different places for different people. I don't know that I could describe to you exactly where it is for me. It varies on different topics I guess.
I'm like you CS, in that I don't mind being questioned. Your right, everybody's tolerance level is different on different topics. For instance it makes me a little nervous when the mode of peoples worship is mocked. No matter who they are. That's just me....

There is a lady in a church I am somewhat connected to in another state than the one in which i live.
She chews out everyone who is not in sunday school when SS starts. this lady roams the halls looking for the "skippers"
She also seeks out anyone attending a class other than the one they are "supposed" to be going to.
This lady does not go to any SS class herself. She is not the SS superintendant, nor does she have any offical position in the SS department.
Nor is she a preacher, Nor is she married to a preacher.
You dont have to be a preacher to be a controller. You just dont hear about Saints acting up because saints dont come on here and talk much about saints...they have bigger fish to fry.
you dont hear about saints acting up from pastors because Pastors have pastors hearts and dont come on here and talk bad about saints.
Well -- for the record, and for what it's worth (probably not much) -- I liked Pastor Poster.

I don't want to take away from the original topic, but I will say that I do not hate anyone on this forum and I don't hate anyone just because they are a preacher. I hate a certain attitude and will stand up against it whenever I see it. I have absolutely no fear of standing up to anyone because they hold a certain title... I try not to ever say anything negative on a personal level, except for my little digs about Kansas that only 2 or 3 people would even get when they read them closely.

It really does come down to attitude doesn't?
