Has The UPCI Served It's Purpose.

yea and socket wrenches are the lazy mechanics way of removing a nut.

Oh well if there's not a rule against it let's do it. Wonder if the strip club would let us advertise there too?

Personally, I don't know anyone that thinks like you have put forth here. I guess when you paint with a broad brush, it doesn't matter.

Looks like we live in two different worlds, because that's exactly what I am seeing over here. And it would appear that your brush is just as broad as mine.

Amazing! I see Acts 2:38 as the socket wrenches for the active mechanic's way of removing the nut.

There might be some sinners there.

As many baksliders and as there are reading it and smut on XXX sites and goin to strip clubs, maybe that woudn't be a bad idea. After all, you need to go wher they are.

You go and I will wait here.

You know, I use to bash the UPC hard. This is what I have found out...

The UPCI did not self-destruct just because I was brash.
I was not invited to the GC to speak on how she is going to Hell.
I lost some really good fellowship.
I demeaned an Apostolic organization that was reaching the lost.
I became a nut job.

If the UPCI goes on TV, so what? Will this mean she will quit preaching Acts 2:38? No. We really need to quit fooling ourselves. Monitors are TVs and many saints have at least one in their home, and this includes the computer monitor that we read messages on.

How about this instead? How about we get real, and admit that the UPCI, ALJC, PAW, and these orgs are doing a good work. Just my thoughts.

I like you. Balanced, sincere, self-deprecating. Highly unusual on Apostolic forums.

Maybe this will get you reinstated in the lost fellowship, but I doubt they will call you to speak at GC.
