lol - I'm not nearly as fascinating in real life. I still haven't even met James Griffin, although I have met Nate Slatter, NYTXN, Timmy, Lois Gibson, Gary Tribble and Darryl Hooper.

Brad, I am not exciting on the forum or in person so that would have been fine.

Re: Leave A Message For The Not So Departed Cons
If any of them are reading I do miss the departed cons and ultra cons. Despite the vast gulf in thinking there were some great discussions and friendships started. I am a better man for all of that.
Despite believing one will split the pit for wearing short sleeves and exposing those sexy elbows, which I find an amazing concept, I remember Elder Steve Epley giving young ministers excellent advise on planning for their future (IRA's or 401k's etc). Not something I would have expected from an ultra con but oh so needed.
Coonskinner is a blue jean overall wearing redneck with a degree in English who can quote classical poetry while shooting something.
I hate to start naming names because there were so many and I know I will miss a bunch so I will stop. Of course I do have to mention WWOD who really is from the NFCF days. One of the most interesting people to ever post. Nothing like sitting back and watching the bi monthly WWOD implosion as he would go on a tear which all, including himself, knew would result in being banned for some period of time.
Ok, one more name mention. Felicity, who was the sweet conflicted exUPCer gone charismatic longing to go home to the Mothership AND DID!!!! Not a story you hear very often from those who leave old time legalistic Oneness Pentecost.
For the life of me I can't remember what Bro. Holland's screen name was but he was an absolute encyclopedia of Oneness Pentecostal history. Also told some of the funniest stories I have ever read. I had the privilege of sitting with him at a conference that was a great experience.
So many more but I will stop.

Had the word "Bishop" in it but I don't remember the whole thing.
I don't post nearly as much not just because the cons have left but more because I feel like we have a shared past but not a shared future (I'm not in the same boat, or even in a different boat, I'm sitting on land watching everyone rowing around in a pond in their various boats and trying to figure out why they keep doing it.)

Don't ever forget that no matter what boat you are in there is at least one person on here who would put you on their church board! LOL!!!
I am glad you still check in from time to time even if you feel it is a different world than what you are in. At least here no one can physically grab you by the arm and drag you to an altar and shake you til you "get right".
