HA!

There was once an ultra conservative Pastor in Mississippi that required all the women to wear dresses that did not come above the floor above four inches. You should have seen that bunch. They were a sight to behold.

The pastor required the women to make peanut brittle and get out on the streets in almost every city around and about, including over into Louisiana peddling that brittle from business to business.


They lied to the people telling them that they were selling the peanut brittle because they were in a building program. They were not. This ultra conservative Pastor was hiding hundreds of thousands of dollars in his bedroom. A visiting preacher stole a good bit of it. But, I think that he was arrested.

Nevertheless, there was nothing about those women that had any resemblece of what I thought of as being Apostolic. This ultra conservative pastor even locked the doors of the church when church began. I am glad that there was never a fire. People would have perished.

Anyway, this very strict, ultra con...or maybe I should simply call him a CON, is sitting in prison for among many other crimes...pediphelia. He was a pediphile for years. A neighboring pastor said that he was a homosexual. But this ultra conservative is sitting in prison but LADIES STILL DO NOT WEAR A RING.

Here is a warning: You are going to fall and possibly be broken if you battle in the FLESH. It is only a matter of time. I fear when I see good men who take up the implements of their warfare in the flesh. I know that they are headed for a crash landing. There was such a man on the old forum. He is now permanently banned. I warned him that he was headed for a crash. He did not like me and followed me around everywhere I went trying to belittle me in every way. I would get upset with him, but I knew it was only a matter of time.

The weapons of our warfare are NOT carnal...'nuff said.

I pray - and my deepest desire is - that I will be known for my positive attitude. I want to be seen as someone who is slow to anger. Who is objective and wise. I hope to be viewed as a person who always puts God first and who is kind and caring. I want to be someone others enjoy being around; not because I'm the life of the party, but because they know that they can count on me to lend an ear and a shoulder to cry on and that they can trust me to be a person who will help carry their burden & pray for their needs. It doesn't matter to me if I LOOK "Apostolic." What truly matters to me is that I am like Jesus & that I am a good wife, mother, friend, and Christian. I would rather someone feel drawn to me by something they sense than by how I look. My focus is no longer on making sure I look the part; my focus is on Jesus, my husband & children, and on people in general.

I knew of a church in Philly (CLJCAF) that kept a yard stick at the church door... to measure 3-4" off the ground to the skirt bottoms. He also, had armorbearers to open doors for him and carry his bible/read etc.

There was NOT one ultra-con pastor in that area who would fellowship this man the tales of his sins were known. Back when Bishop Martin was alive at New Bethel he and Roy Rowley disfellowshipped this man then and Bishop Martin died in 71. I do not know of one Apostolic preacher in the area that would fellowship this man who abused his family and others. Some from out of the area may have tried to fellowship him but as soon as they heard they distanced themselves. What does this have to do with wearing a ring I will never know? Are you saying there have been NO homos that wore rings. Sometimes you can be disgusting. And then to drag this other matter as though it vindicates you proves you have an ego as big as a elephant. Pride has more than one shade sir.

Armorbearers huh?

How so many of these type people love having rule, seeing themselves as God. They crave the trappings of being such a potentate. It is a God complex. I've seen it sooooooo many times.

When men get a God complex, it will ususally surface by passing judgment before its time. They are taking God's place. Watch out of these kind of deceivers. They will wreck souls and families while not spending one waking moment caring in the least, except for the loss of whatever finacial support that might be missing.

I am sorry I posted back to so but this has me heated. Old Paths pastored less than 20 miles from this guy and NEVER fellowshipped him or anyone who did fellowship him. The UPC, AMF, or and reputible GIB would NEVER fellowship this homo. Pastors tried for years in vain to get the authorities to do something about the situation.

Don't get hot over this. It's not worth it.

My point is, when you battle in the flesh, you are headed for a fall. This is probably the most classical example that I could think of at the moment. I could certainly recount many of such cases as this.

Ego as big as an elephant? HA!

Ok, I accept your judgment. But what has that got to do with the facts.
