So lets just disrespect other saints pastors! Is that how you do things Praxeas? What a terrible way to live... St. Mark, your pastor is Bro. Emory to me, it's Elder Epley to me. It's Bro. Young, Bro. Wilson, Bro. Keyes! It's all the same to me!
It is incredible to me that you can jump Prax for being disrepectful simply for referring to a man by his given name, follow it up by claiming to repect a list of leaders...but respond by laughing and saying it was a riot to refer to the organization that these men serve in as "Under Privileged Children"...then follow it up by calling it "Ultimate Pressure Church".
I find the latter to be much more disrespectful than the former. It is the lack of consistency that I find so disheartening these days. Just a tendency to dig in and say what I do is right and what you do is wrong without any sense of objectivity.

__________________ Let it be understood that Apostolic Friends Forum is an Apostolic Forum.
Apostolic is defined on AFF as:
There is One God. This one God reveals Himself distinctly as Father, Son and Holy Ghost.
The Son is God himself in a human form or "God manifested in the flesh" (1Tim 3:16)
Every sinner must repent of their sins.
That Jesus name baptism is the only biblical mode of water baptism.
That the Holy Ghost is for today and is received by faith with the initial evidence of speaking in tongues.
The saint will go on to strive to live a holy life, pleasing to God.
Slow down everybody. Under Privileged Children is an old joke that even card carrying members joke about. I got it from Charles Mahaney. It is supposed to be funny, not a put-down.
The Internet is easier to control than TV...On the net if you don't want bad stuff you just don't go, So with TV on the net if you don't want it just don't go to the websites.
Most bad stuff on the net you have to willingly go get. Filters can be by passed if one wants. I don't see how TV is worse than the NET. We have TV here at home and there is NO PORN. There is not even rated R movies.You can flip and flip and flip channels all you want and not see any nudity or hear cussing.
So to be consistant IMHO if one takes a stand against TV they need to do the same with Internet
If your pastor obeys the affirmation statement he signs every 2 years then you are in disobedience to your pastors belief.

When I see it used by non-card carrying members and former members who have generally negative things to say about the org, it does seem more like a put-down and less funny. It is not funny to me when those people call the organization that my father has sacrificed greatly for and served for 35 years "Under Priveleged Children". I suppose that "Ultimate Pressure Church" is another old one that all the card carrying members sit around and joke about.
I may have a difference of opinion than some people, but I try my best to be respectful even in disagreement.
