In many ways, it is much easier going to a church where there are a lot of rules/standards to live by. You really don't have to make decisions as everything is lined out for you. It is much more difficult to go to a church where you have to search out for yourself what is right and wrong. Some people cannot live for God in a setting where they have to make those decisions; those people need a structured environment and that's where they should go. Different strokes for different folks.

Back to:
My son saw a very popular UPC girl at a Campmeeting. They had been good friends at youth camp for years. She had a baby in her arms and said - Aaron, Did you know I had a baby? He said - I didn't even know you got married!!!!!
She looked him in the eyes and said - I didn't get married!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
He said - you mean you had a baby and you are not married?????????
She said BOLDLY - "I may have had some problems - BUT I NEVER CUT MY HAIR!!!!!!!!!!"
He said quietly - "Well, maybe you should have cut your hair!"
He came to me and said - "Dad, Is that wacky or what?"

Back to:
"You better stop preaching for that _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ bunch (Independent Oneness Church) or your gonna be in trouble!

Back to: Preaching about - Hair up, hair down, Miracle Hair, Healing hair, no chopsticks, no "burnaments", no curlers, no "burning irons", no Mickey Mouse watches, no colored lip gloss, no ball caps, no sunglasses, the UPC church across town is all "HOMOSEX" or has "LESBUNS" on the "Choir Stand"! Britches, pants, trousers, gouchos, split skirts, culottes, red ties, open toed shoes, facial hair, manicures, pedicures, men with hair cut too short makes you look HOMO, Men with hair too long makes you look HOMO, Men with hair parted down middle makes you look HOMO, Men with sideburns past "squiggle point" have an Elvis spirit. Men with loose pants with pleats - makes you look HOMO, Men with pants with NO PLEATS makes you look HOMO - queer, limp wristed, panty waisted, yellow backed and sissified. And on and on and on........................

BACK????????????????? NOT ON YOUR LIFE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I got to church so that a preacher can preach and feed my soul ... not preach to my apparel.

Did you actually preach this stuff??? Thank goodness Eddie never preached all this to begin with!

[ThePastorsCoach]

Believe me Dan - I have heard EVERYTHING I listed and a list 10 times longer than this preached - all in the name of being Apostolic. None of that has anything to do with being Apostolic. Most that preach all that are mean and miserable control freaks and don't have a decent education!

We are commanded, not to go back. I see no reason to go back. Besides, "back" is no longer there.

That reminded me of a Singles Conference at Ron Libby's church in Maryland.......

for one reason or another; {I do not understand why}... Ron Libby started telling folks that where praising and dancing.

That they were, "in the flesh!!!!"

No one has claimed every preacher in the Apostolic church was intelligent nor correct but these are extremes NOT the norm.
The girl is sad but it happens to libs-cons and in between. Fornication happens it is wicked sinful and scars them for life but it sadly happens. However boys cannot get pregnant.
