Carp, I don't think you are a UPCbasher at all. I think you have strong opinions and you express those opinions in strong ways. Nothing wrong with that. Many others here have those same opinions. They just soften the blow a little when they speak. Both ways are fine. God made us all individuals for a reason.
You are loved here. I hope you know that, brother!

As an admitted UPC basher myself, I don't believe Carp is one... I admire his spirit and his character. If there was a screw somewhere that I could unscrew that would dismantle the UPC church completely, I would turn it... Carp would not.
I like that quote, but see how it could be used by both sides of an argument equally.
Personally, I found my confidence that I was right to be vanity... who was I to say that out of 6 billion people on earth, that I have "truth" exactly right, and not only that I was born into it, unlike the other 5.x billion people. (Also read recently that the RCC church claimes over 1 billion globally, but not sure how accurate that is).

Anybody can use the quote...I just happen to like it.
I HATE pantyhose. I look forward to the THREE seasons of the year when I don't have to wear them, I usually choose tights in winter, AND the new spray-on hose are a nice, much cooler, compromise (for the platform).
Three words:
*Razor
*Lotion
*Pedicure
Well my wife and daughter wear their dresses long enough that they just wear knee highs.
We live in east TX and did live in southeast TX only about 20 mile from the gulf. We know what hot is all about.
I wear long sleeves and long pants all year round. I use to work construction and I wore long sleeved denim shirt all the time and I survived.
What if you were told to wear long underwear under your long pants? Would you do so? That's essentially what pantyhose are (except see-through and skintight)...
