If Booker did indeed write this, then I'll have several comments.

I don't keep up religiously (pardon the pun) with this board so someone PM me if it is proven beyond doubt that Booker wrote this.

Do you trust Old Paths say so?

Why do you call him Loophole?

I saw that letter probably a month ago... Most at HQ have it as well... From everything I have been told LB is def. the author... I also have seen a letter from one mentioned in LB's response letter who mentions Tulsa as being a move for an "Alternative Fellowship." For what it is worth...

I know Old Paths personally.

I don't think he's lying but OP is not UPC and it's quite possible he's been fed some wrong information with all the doubletalk and half-truths swirling around.


You sound like you think you're painting me in a corner with this "do you trust Old Paths."

... loaded question but I think I answered it for you frankly. I'm one who doesn't get painted into corners.

Why do I call him "Loophole Larry"?

Because he's futiley tried to codify and cobble together a theological position that television is sin and the internet is okay.

Obviously his attempts are nothing more than dreaming up loopholes ... hence my nickname for him.

Do I mean it to be derisive?

You betcha.

Again, you prove what I like about you.

We never have to worry where we stand.

Oh ... and to elaborate further - in fairness to Booker, I won't comment further on this letter until Booker himself confirms he sent it ... or at least one of the organizers does.

I don't see Crawford Coon much any more even though he pastors only 30 miles from Alexandria (in Jena, scene of the recent "Jena Six" farce.)

I may try to look him up and ask him.

[Scott Hutchinson]

Boy why don't I get letters like this perhaps I'm too liberal.

Bingo, my brother... His stance is TV is entertainment but internet is information... Like TV has no information and internet has no entertainment... I can watch his WILD, WILD WEST show on the internet...

Oh and I know CC will have some interesting stuff to say to you...

Could others adopt your practice without the "derisive" tone? For example, could I post from now on calling him "Loophole Larry" just because it's fun to do so, and accurate as well?

I believe Legal Larry's treatise about the internet set the wheels in motion for the passing of resolution #4. It opened the eyes of many people that legalism cannot be consistent. Legal Larry opened the door with denying principle for the sake of convenience with the internet and it came around to bite him.

Thanks for an honest answer.
