Good to see you see you also. Is your son still serving overseas?

I'm open to the idea, as long as you fellas don't mind eating lunch with a stinky goat!

Yeah, I think I spent several years where I wouldn't admit to myself the conclusions I had already arrived at... and I still try to keep my feelings pretty private. I'm very careful of what I say with my real name (believe it or not. lol)

Despite believing one will split the pit for wearing short sleeves and exposing those sexy elbows, which I find an amazing concept, I remember Elder Steve Epley giving young ministers excellent advise on planning for their future (IRA's or 401k's etc). Not something I would have expected from an ultra con but oh so needed.

Coonskinner is a blue jean overall wearing redneck with a degree in English who can quote classical poetry while shooting something.

I hate to start naming names because there were so many and I know I will miss a bunch so I will stop. Of course I do have to mention WWOD who really is from the NFCF days. One of the most interesting people to ever post. Nothing like sitting back and watching the bi monthly WWOD implosion as he would go on a tear which all, including himself, knew would result in being banned for some period of time.

Ok, one more name mention. Felicity, who was the sweet conflicted exUPCer gone charismatic longing to go home to the Mothership AND DID!!!! Not a story you hear very often from those who leave old time legalistic Oneness Pentecost.

For the life of me I can't remember what Bro. Holland's screen name was but he was an absolute encyclopedia of Oneness Pentecostal history. Also told some of the funniest stories I have ever read. I had the privilege of sitting with him at a conference that was a great experience.

So many more but I will stop.

Whoops! 😬
