We all have watched Bro. Prices pendulum swing back and forth numerous times over the last few years. I personally believe that he has found a place of peace and that the abrupt changes are a thing of the past. Of course, only time will tell.
I think that if we look at all the changes you have made over the past few years Berk, or those I have made for that matter, you will find that neither of us have any cause to be throwing stones

Re: STARTLING! LARRY BOOKER'S Latest Message!!!(wa
Berk, bless you, and keep on, OK. I am not on the extreme left or right, nor do I even use the term Apostolic anymore, simply because I don't even use labels anymore, and refuse to.
And, yes, DA is my best friend. So what? I was turning this before I met him. All he did was be a friend, and never once influenced me in my decision to go either way. He treated me human and was closer to me than any other so-called friend I had ever had. And, if I went the other direction, DA would have been my friend regardless.
As to my liberal turn, it is not liberal. I became tired of trying to impress people. I got tired of the shows, the games, and the lies. All one has to do is see me in person to see the change. I grew tired of religion, false doctrine, putting up, shutting up, and being a whipping boy. I got tired of being told if I was 'good enough' I would make it to Heaven.
Peace? Yeah, for the first time in 13 years, I have peace. I found that place where the journey into Christ can continue without outside distractions. Joy? Got that too. And holiness? Well, Jesus made me holy through His blood, and that is sufficient.
Blessings to all.

Re: STARTLING! LARRY BOOKER'S Latest Message!!!(wa
I'm still waiting for the documentation of lies that were told about legal larry and/or the Tulsa Tango....
My advise to the young man is if a large human size pitcher busts through a wall and offers you a drink of cherry flavor sugar water, run like crazy.

It's good you admire your Pastor... because I'm almost positive he's your pastor and that you are the young man that was blogging the Conference I will not speak against your Pastor.
At the same time realize that since Bro. Booker has been so vocal in his VERY hard stance against TV while at the same time saying internet is "ok" he has opened himself up to criticsm.
Then to leave the UPC to form another organization what these men have called a "prefered Apostolic direction" that adds to it....

Re: STARTLING! LARRY BOOKER'S Latest Message!!!(wa
BulimicBlogger,
How did the seminar go about teaching the staff how to deal with sexual crimes committed with the help of the internet?
Your pastor is inconsistent with applying principles. It's gotten so bad for him he started his own religion. His doctrine is further removed from the apostles doctrine than the upci...

I don't know of a police officer arresting 50-60 people in one day for using television in an illegal manner. Legalists aren't used to be held accountable for their words. He may feel better now that he started his own religion.

Re: STARTLING! LARRY BOOKER'S Latest Message!!!(wa
It bothers me when people express skepticism about one's paradigm shift. I seen this happen at our church when one of our now former deacons testified how glad he was his sister in law was in church. He said " I don't know how long you'll stay this time, but I'm glad you are hear now." She hasn't been back. Better news is the former deacon no longer attends our church. Cancers like that are best elsewhere.
It seems skepticism is common from conservativism to liberalism. It is dangerous for a new convert, a restored backslider, and to one who attempts shed unbiblical principles to feel the pressure of skepticism.
Whether this change is permanent or not is irrelevant. It doesn't matter to me. Price and I have had verbal jousts that would have made great footage for Celebrity Death Match. But that doesn't give me a right to question his sincerity. He believes now what he believes. I have a feeling if he ever gets an itch to creep back into legalism, he'll remember what it was like to be thrown to the curb like an unwanted animal and resist the temptation.

I have no desire ever to go back to that legalistic mess ever again. Remembering the attacks of others made me go the way I have gone. I am just glad to be me.
Hey, when we gonna joust again? We can use DA as the test dummy. !

The thing so many just cannot grasp is the escape from legalism is NOT about standards. If anything my personal standards are higher than they were before.
