I see many things wrong with the org, but grow weary of the constant attempt to make light of everything coming down the Pike.

Let us hope it accomplishes the desired intent of the pastor.
Looks like others are starting to see this stuff for what it really is.

If I misjudged, forgive me, but one can only go by what they read.
I don't think you misjudged.

It does seem now that you posted this to criticize.
I don't know why anyone gives these threads the benefit of a doubt anymore. And people wonder why this place has gotten old.

It's not gotten old.

What gets old is posters not seeing the GOOD going on too!

And indeed, a pastor should admonish his people to pray.

At an average value of $50 per bench at 100 benches, if a church could afford this price, the upside of a church praying more greatly outweighs the cost.

Jekyll has a point, but what you are saying is true enough.

I actually appreciate your defense of the "good" posting going on here.

I will accept your challenge and stay in Deep Waters and other more intelligent rooms of the forum for a while.

Yes, it HAS gotten old. Yes, some posters should see the GOOD going on in the UPC too.

Dan,

What do you think about that stack of rocks just on the other side of Jordan? Bad idea? Good idea? Or, maybe, a God idea?
