If you think I'm calling YOU a heretic or involved in a cult then you're either refusing to read or your stubborn as all get-out. Whatever....believe whatever you wanna believe. But heck, if you won't listen to ANY reason......makes me wonder.

What if it is?

That is exactly right! I didn't come to expect it here, but it's been growing and growing. I think that there are more people who have left the UPC posting here than ever before and it has naturally turned into this type of atmosphere. No disrespect to Lois Gibson, but the Spiritual Abuse forum was not my cup of tea. Now, AFF is becoming Part II, IMO.

I wanted it to remain a place that is an "open forum" to discuss everything, but now it's turned into a bash fest! I'm just not happy with it right now and am taking a break.

Okay, last post! Take care, Mizeph! I'd say "hold the fort", but I'm not sure the walls are tenable. LOL! God bless!

PO......if there weren't UPC vultures that set out to destroy a man who was attempting to leave the UPC, I never would have heard of AFF and you'd have never had to deal with me.

...and THAT'S exactly the problem!!! They would be setting out to set the bible straight ONLY to help prop up their sectarian doctrine. Period.

When have trinitarians ever set down and said, "Hmm....this bible is too oneness. Let's do one of our own. Ridiculous.

And I'm with you, I'm taking a little vacation until someone can straighten out the rules of engagement. I'm a little tired of it, myself.

That doesn't make me dislike any poster. I just don't like the posting styles of some.

Hasta luego!!!

Obviously it was "crying wolf." There was nothing in the "Campmeeting" thread (at least up until the time Lady Rev. started here "Cry Wolf!" thread that even came close to what she was describing.

The fact that you close your post with a quick "good-bye!" illustrates your own doubts about Lady Rev's complaints.

Context, context, context... If you're going to cite something I've said, be ethical and cite it in the context in which I have said it.

Can you name a single "Oneness believer" who has a legitimate and accredited "doctorate" in Biblical languages?

I'm not saying there isn't one; and I certainly hope that there might one day eventually be one, but can you name one today?

You're having it out with one particular poster who is having "fun" with you - and apparently Sister Pressy is having "fun" dishing it back.

Keep that in mind when you bewail "the whole forum."

Boy I guess we don't have to wonder how a certain passage in Corinthians might look in the New Oneness Translation (NOT).
