Well, reading it again in context, maybe he meant tweaked. Who knows.

LOL - - no, I thought he was saying they cut and pasted stuff and then would tweet it as if it was true for all to read.

But, I guess he's just talking aboug forums and they cut and past stuff to make it look official after they tweak it some - or as we say in the south "doctor it up".

Hmm, interesting article. Here's what I posted in the comments to it:

"I suppose the bottom line for me with reference to these so-called “backslidder-ridden” forums is this: you report, I’ll decide. Simple enough."

It's waiting to be approved. But, understand the intent of my comment was that of "call it what you may, but let me decide for myself."

And, I just realized I misspelled "backslider-ridden." I sure hope "The Mrs" doesn't catch it.

Yeah, there were other posts that didn't measure up (or down!) to the neanderthal level of discourse required by Baumeister & Co.

lol, I think what I want to say to them would be too harsh, even for here....

Don't you know it. Here's a quote that would be accepted:

"I am truly disturbed! Their are so-called "Apostolic" forems out their on the interwebs that reely ask peeple wot they think and stuff no matter what there paster says or tells them to do. Apostolicnews needs to examine these peeples under garments because you just know they are not reely apostolics after all.

I am so proud that my paster is is PHD that he bot at SEU right from the Prince of Monaco hisself. That way I know I can do just wot my paster sez for me to do. Not like those other backslidders."

Would that be the "truth' that none of these "apostolic" good ole boys are able to defend?

Some truth you all have which cannot stand up to honest uncensored investigation and discussion. Sadly the "truth" you guys have isn't the "apostolic" truth, because Paul's truth NEVER had any issues standing up to the Jews, Pagans, or Philosphers of his day.

The thing about truth is that it always emerges victorious.

Why are you guys so afraid of the information age? (You don't have to answer that. )

I know a few of these people (they are friends of mine).

You could scream until you're blue in the face that Brother so-and-so is in error, or the org is not as solid and fault-proof as they put on, and no one will believe you. "How dare you call my baby ugly!"

The only thing you can do, and I have done the same on various issues, is present only the facts, with sources! Cut out the opinions, cut out the personal attacks and speak only of the issue at hand.

If they choose not to look (I have personally witnessed this), or choose to ignore the facts you've laid out (I've witnessed this too), it really shows you the type of person they are... they don't want truth, they are happy with their tradition.

So, the challenge is:

1. Present the facts in an easy to read fashion
2. Provide sources (which can be validated)

And TRY to stay sweet while doing it!
