I have heard the remark that we should purge the "fringe" of this communtiy to secure peace or at least a more perfect union ... those that don't share our basic common values like the atheists, agnostics, muslims, non-pentecostals?
*cough, cough, TIMMY*
Is this on anyone's list?
Not sure if that would help bring peace. Apostolics seem to fight amongst themselves more than with people like *cough* us.

It's really difficult to have any kind of a peaceful discussion here as we are hiding behind a false front. Some have real names while most of us do not. Some have pictures, most have Avatars. We will read someone's post our pistol cocked ready to shoot at anything that doesn't tickle our fancies. Unless your half shot this is how we will react. We will highlight the most negative of the negatives in a post. If there is none, we immediately calm down and flow with a non negative response. Depending on our mood, we may flutter in here with fairy dust or have an axe to grind. We love using these words, "But" "However" "Yet". We cringe and the mood is set when we see those words. Since we don't know the person we are addressing it's easy to say whatever we like. We don't see their face of expression, nor do we see the spirit in which the post was written (unless that gift is in operation). It's easy to cast off anyone in this forum as nothing because we don't see them, hear them, or know them. Only is our respect for anyone here is when we learn to know them, especially with how they deal with sound doctrine. If their doctrine is relatively sound they will learn to appreciate that person, even to go beyond this forum and directly email them.
