CC1, I am sure that he didn't scream every word... you are making a sweeping generalization. If he spoke even ONE word in a normal voice then you cannot claim that he was screaming his guts out.
And --- did you actually see his intestines fly out?
And --- did you actually hear his intestines splatter as they hit the floor and folks in the front row?
You need to be a little more accurate.
Next you'll be making sweeping generalizations and telling lies accusing folks of actually straining out a gnat and actually swallowing a camel. Careful here, you know where all liars are headed.

I made the strawman comment because you set up this entire diatribe to discredit Carp's comments that he was treated differently while greeting another apostolic person, and the way he was treated changed as soon as they saw his wife... even going so far as to accuse Carp of purposely misrepresenting the encounter. This is the kind of stuff that gets old around here. All I am doing is standing behind Carp and CC1's comments... but I apologize for "getting a piece of the action" by commenting here... I'll crawl back into my ex-upc hole now and bow to your superior intellect.
If you go back and read you will see I was only originally responding to Barb who said those people were unkind. Carp is the one that responded to me as though I was responding to him.
I never said he misrepresented the encounter (your strawman). I said to Barb my comments about assuming the worse...that a weird look does not have to mean they were unkind and in fact I pointed out Carp said they THANKED him.
Barb was the one that said they were unkind due to the "weird look" and Barb was the one that I was responding to.
In fact I was the one that was saying from Carps post that I did not see how she could say they were unkind when Carp pointed out they THANKED him.
I have a problem with remembering names with faces of those I see in one place.
For instance, if I only see someone at school, I will recognize them at Wal-Mart but can't think of where I know them from nor their name.
I have worked with people and then see them at a restaurant and can't remember their name or why I know them.
I'm sure I have given plenty of people that 'weird' look because I can't figure out where I know them from. There is a name for this condition, but I can't recall it at the moment.
I imagine that the weird look Carp got was one of being puzzled. They probably didn't understand why he was referring to those people like he did and didn't recognize him as someone they knew.
I'm kind to everyone as well, but those weird looks just happen.

That was my point to Barb. In fact I could have a woman with uncut hair, dress, no makeup, no jewelry walk up to me and say "Hello brother, may I get that door for you" and if I had no clue who she was I would still have a perplexed look on my face, but I would be friendly still
Yes, I do. It relates to Dagon as well as other fish gods in various mythologies.
Also, have you ever seen the trinity symbol commonly found on the spines of various theological books? Take one part of that and you have the fish.
That symbol was adopted by early religious groups as representing their belief, but its roots are pagan.

My thoughts too, Heavenlyone. They were probably trying to figure out who he was.......not being unkind at all. But........
Things changed when they saw someone of 'like precious faith'! lol No doubt their countenance changed. It's only natural.

I would hope their countenences changed! I have seen some who's didn't......of course, they looked like they'd been sucking on lemons for about 30 days too.
In my area, seeing 'skirt women' doesn't mean much of anything. We have the Branhamites, Amish, and the local cult group as well as my church. All the women in those groups wear skirts or dresses at all times.
I see women with skirts on all the time, but I have no way of knowing which church they attend or what their beliefs are. So much for recognizing someone of 'like precious faith'.
Of course, they can't tell who I am either, since I'm an 'anything goes' (according to Thad) non-standard believing UPCer.
