I learned it the hard way about 25 years ago by embarressing myself when I lived in Texas by pronouncing it like it is spelled which brought great laughter.

Be your stay long, short or somewhere in between I just want to take a minute to say to those whose names we haven't seen for some time... thanks for dropping by. It was so good to see some old names around the forum again.
God bless you in all you do for His Kingdom.

I would love to see more cons come back and hash out some things, respectfully of course. But I have nothing personal against these men, even if some think I have "gone charismatic".

One time I got in a heated fight with Steve Epely. Oh, wait. that was about who was going to pay for lunch and now that I think about it we resolved that by making Pianoman pay.

My point is I'd love for them to come back, I can take all they can dish out and still love them when their done. Epley, Benincasa, et al. I'd love to discuss some doctrinal things in a forum that is public and that they can't ban me from.
I have respect for them, but as for straightforward rhetoric, they should live by the rule of "Don't dish it out if you can't take it."
Seriously, I would love to see an AFF with a more conservative feel.
