Lester McGruder is UPC?
You mean Carrol's Dad?
He used to be an official in the ALJC back when I was in it.

While living in Haneywood, a friend asked me to attend a "MO Mens Conference" with him. I had never been to one so I drove the 2 hours with him to get there for the last night and hear the preaching. Unbeknowance to me, this was one of those Payment Plan meetings. So I am setting there, and some bozo gets up just prior to the offering and states that "if you have not registered, then you need to go and pay your registration fee, or you are stealing, and stealers will go to hell". I very carfully got up, and walked out of the "show", and talked to my Mom on the cell while the "show" continued on inside the banquet hall of the hotel. It was not about the money. It was the principle of the matter.

I appreciate Bishop1 and understand his humour and his .... *ahem* .... forthrightness. But then I have come to "know" him a bit.

Certainly others have been offended in the past as well not knowing this man or his posting personality, so let's give the newbies or those who haven't been involved enough to know all the different personalities a break, shall we?

You are correct, Felicity. Bishop1 definitely has a way of cutting to the chase in his posts. And those who have not posted on these forums much would not know of his integrity as a man, and a minister. I was just trying to let them know that Bishop1 has never been one to post something forthright if he was not able to also back up what he stated.
