We have defined the particulars Pastor Poster, how do we as a group over come the moniker.

If we can.

What must we do to overcome the moniker????

Why should we allow them to define the terms .. ???

This is about offensive language ... not appeasing those who use it ...

In an earlier post, you made this statement: I think much of this is folks taking something that was meant somewhat seriously and somewhat humorously and taking it beyond its intent.

It appears you don't mind using, and applying, the term reprobate in a flippant manner.

Whereas, others are saying it should never be used so lightly, or in humor...it's a grave and serious inference to a soul that is beyond any hope of being saved.

"Flippant" would not be the way I would use it. Humorously, among friends, I indeed would use it.

If you found damaging comments, why does no one report the posts?

Because we don't want to lose conservative posters. We want the dialogue and the challenge. If we report it, and something is done about it they will take their toys and go home.

Do you think no reprobates attend church anywhere?

This is the fourth time I tell you it offended Pastor Poster and myself.

This is the type of stuff that others looking on see as not worthy of their time.

Not worthy of their time ??? C'MON BOOM ... some of these guys enjoy being here ... more than being at Mount CAF ... they whine and complain ... and yet keep on coming back for more ...

PLease keep that in mind as applying to every poster. Why should you be allowed to define the terms either?

I find some liberals quite at luxury recently with name calling.

It is on both sides.

As would the lib. Seen it happen on both sides. That is why some of these turmoils do more harm than good. With that being said, I am finished with this one. Be Blessed all. (And I do mean ALL. )

You're missing it RR ... BOOM seems to be suggesting we must somehow orchestrate a movement to seem less like REPROBATES ... so that THEY DONT PERCIEVE AS SUCH ....

Fifth time I am telling you I found your post offensive.

You dance as usual, and again I question what you actually believe.

No need to degrade CAF either. They are quite civil there.
