Is this not the Dan that has been banned & infracted many times?
Where there is smoke, there is sure to be a fire--there will also be wood to fuel it.
I don't see how munch over these things is edifying.
I just re-read all of Dan's posts in this thread. Why are you picking on Dan - there have been many that have expressed their feelings here....me, Dizzy, Pel, Stephen. Why are you just attacking Dan?
Do you think the article (blog) is okay?

Ron, let's not kid ourselves, it's always been us vs. them on this forum. Most of the time we live in relative peace, until a "stepper" thread makes us pledge our allegiances.
But, for some reason, you've chosen to go after Daniel on this thread, when this thread is not about Daniel, at all. It's about men in the UPCI tearing down a man who is trying to uphold his definition of "holiness" as the UPCI sees it. Plain and simple.

So I reckon the question I asked about posting things from other Forums is answered with "Yes. It is okay." At least, that seems to be what I am getting. If I am wrong here someone please let me know. Thanks.

There's nothing pretty about any of it, and quite frankly, this forum is no different than the one illustrated in the shared blog, as far as similar dynamics go.
Too bad we have decided to measure one another by mustaches, tv, skirt length, sleeves, or a lack thereof, instead of by Biblical measures.
Galatians 5:22-26 "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, ...Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law....And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts...If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit...Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another."
John 13:35 "By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another."
Matthew 5:46-48 "For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same? ...And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so? ...Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect." I John 4:20-21 "If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen? ...And this commandment have we from him, That he who loveth God love his brother also."
I don't say shame on KimberlyS; I say shame on all of us.

Why wouldn't it be ok?

WHOA, SLED! If that is what you saw then you definitely missed it. The majority of those mentioned are not UPC.

Well, technically speaking, another person posted the material, and the thread author posted the link to that material.
Although I do recall getting into a lot of trouble and having a lot of posts deleted for posting material from the ex-pentecostals forum.
