I really have to think these are urban legends.

one of the details was the organizational office held by the father of the pot smoker if I remember correctly
that was posted a long time ago and I doubt if I could find the post now.
It was in the Georgia Dist. Of the UPC.

And in fairness, I'm being general since the "Apostolic Identity" crusade is quite general.

And sorry I don't make sense to you.
It's one thing for someone to disagree with you, and another for them to not even get the opportunity because they don't understand or can't make sense of what you're saying. I suppose I'll try harder.

There was a preacher from Louisiana, while at conference, who covered his TV with a towel. One of His buddies came in tho and picked up the towel and the TV was hot from having been on????

No one said that all Apostolics are distinction obsessed. It's obvious that not all are to anyone who's been on this board for an hour. Of those that may be, there are huge differences of opinion on what is and isn't a distinction, and what is or isn't an obsession.
