So then you really believe that this preacher intentionally LIED. It couldn't simply have been a mistake? A misunderstanding? An exaggeration that got out of hand?
I've seen a lot of bad things over the past few years. Seen preachers intentionally lie and accept lies and I still have a hard time believing that good Godly men will do this kind of thing. Still have a hard time accepting it.
What's wrong with me anyhow?
But then, I've always been like this. Refusing to believe the worst about somebody unless there was proof. Even when it was happening to me/us!
honestly, i have doubts that this was a mistake.

Felicity, is an embellishment a lie? Is a fish story a lie? Is an exaggeration a lie? Is speaking evangelastically telling lies?
You know as well as I if you have been around long enough you will hear someone tell something that may not be just quite true.
Take for example the types of threads and posts around here, which ones get the most traffic? The ones that do not do any of the above, or those who like to stretch the truth juuuuuuuuuuust a little bit.
WHY??? Cmon Felicity, you aren't that wet behind the ears...you know folks coming out of the mainstream is a message that legitimizes the Apostolic movement...
See, I started this thread with a positive note that I was sure people would appreciate...but then I keep getting dragged into this organizational stuff!
The UPC is terrified with ever being mistaken as mainstream, it insults their sense of separation...

What's your problem SoCaliUPC?? Why don't you say something with substance instead of just tossing this passive aggressive stuff at me...
Carp....
Like truimphant1 stated earlier...this thread might of well been titled that the other thread was a lie. Not one time in the other thread was the church or pastor alluded to. In the previous post, without naming the pastor, you pinpointed a title and vicinity pretty accurately.
"Okay Carp" and "So much for naming names" are not passive aggressive statements. Maybe in the first "OKay Carp.." I should have stated that what triumphant1 did and said...just call Thad a liar and the whole thread as one to.
Honestly, when news of this nature was being discussed on this forum, I thought it was supposed to be written in general statements as to not pinpoint a name or place...so that the issue behind the news could be discussed. If that has changed I would ask an Owner, Admin or Moderator to state so. I thought the other thread pretty much dealt with an issue with no name attached to it.

Ok then, how do you explain all the PMs sent to me asking who I was talking about...
