Ive turned over a new leaf! well sorta... its new but not too different from the old one.
Which reminds me of a story.
Back in the halcion days of my youth, I was in the Navy. there was a guy that all the sudden started walking around picking things up and saying "thats not it!"
He did this day after day and got more and more agitated. eventually he went in for a phyic eval. They kept him for a long time and he did the same thing while on the nut ward.
he would walk around the grounds of the naval hospital in Portsmouth VA in his crayz gown picking up leaves and looking at the underside and exclaim "That's not it!"
this went on for several months and eventually they gave him a crazy discharge. when he went in to get the final papers, he picked them up and exclaimed THIS IS IT!
That is HILARIOUS!!!!

Reminds me of the time a young man came over here from Canada during the late 60s, fell in love and married a local girl he immediately was petrified that he was going to be drafted, so when he got his notice to show up for a medical and classification, he decided to pretend he was deaf. He goes in the booth where they played these notes and you would signal when you heard the first note ,he does nothing,until it was deafening.The officer waves him out, signals for him to come over to the desk and starts filling out papers ,then he says so how are you doing ? he goes fine , officer says according to this test you are stone deaf , whoops ! Bobby (not his real name ) forgot . He got his classification and immediately sprinted for the border with his new bride. LOL.True Story ! Ps he wasnt the sharpest but very funny ,he bragged one time of picking up this truck tire all alone ,he said that thing had 50 pounds of air in it.Dead serious !
How about BH and PW taking a romantic vacation to Rome to visit the Vatican. Google the two names together and you will find pictures of them leaving a fancy hotel holding hands. BH is still married and PW is twice divorced. BH is in need of 2 million dollars, to continue spreeding his false gospel around the world. Is PW becoming the great whore of Revelation?
BW is or is getting a divorce

You did refrain from the "really rotten" stuff, so don't be too hard on yourself!!! I was just rattling your cage a bit, and my own in the process! LOL
Where were you when LS and other UPC ministers were getting shredded?

I am not rejoicing in anyone's sin. that would be aweful. sharpsticking folks around here that have made a life mission out of blasting the UPCI (which I love dearly) however, is not beyond me. I am still just a sinner saved by grace and still a work in progress!
sorry my brother, you are right but I dont want to help myself today...
If it makes you feel better, it's not the UPCI whose ideas are being primarily targeted It's the idealogy that permeates groups from Mennonite, Southern Baptist, Evangelical to even your little denim-skirt wearing UPCI.
Tends to feel more UPCI-ish, since that's what many on here are recently removed from.
