This should be a time for introspection anyone who wears an apostolic label. Unfortunately self-denial supercedes common sense. The perception the world has of apostolics is not because they are ignorant or in the dark. The world's perception of apostolic comes from years of observed behavior.

Okay. Wait a second. The world, on the one hand, does not know what Apostolic means but on the other hand they have observed years of behavior?

Which is it? They do know or they don't know?

And please do not take some of our answers as self-denial superceding common sense. The real common sense is knowing that subjects such as this never get a fair hearing around here. I learned long ago on FCF that to discuss specific standards was futile. Trying to discuss a subjective term such as "apostolic" is just as futile, IMO.
