My Pastor started to teach something like this years ago.

It was tough at the Men Retreat in Virginia.

I at the time wanted to start a "Mens Christian Sports Bar"

Where the men can hang out in a relaxed setting, be men and not be pressured.

The kind of place "non-church going" believers are welcome.

A place with a bar {non-alcohol}, Wide screen TV's, Snacks, Pool tables, Card tables etc.

Right, exactly. Real men don't discuss their feelings. That's sissy stuff for limp wristed sissies. Men don't discuss things like that...not real men. Real men don't have feelings.

Do real Christians need to discuss what it means to be a real Christian....or for that matter do real Apostolics need to discuss what it means to be a real Apostolic? Do people that are having real revival need to discuss what it means to have real revival? lol

I don't really need a conference to reaffirm my masculinity.

Yes sir... we have enjoyed several comments along those lines in this thread.

Of course this is not what Godmen is about but that doesn't keep it from becoming the commentary of the day.

It is about men who feel that Jesus and the Church of today have been over feminized.

It is about men who feel that Jesus was indeed someone who dealt with people in compassion but he also turned over tables in the temple when it was the thing to do.

It is about men who believe that the Christian of today does need to be meek etc but that there are also times to stand up no matter who is "offended" by it. (I thought the UC's would particularly enjoy that part)

Again... I personally have no intention of intending one of their meetings...

When this thread is over I probably won't think of the group again....

I just get tired of people making half educated comments about something that they have come to a microwave 30 second conclusion on and their commentary demonstrates with ultimate precision that they either had their mind made up before they even looked at the material I presented or they never really looked at it at all but yet feel qualified to make statements about what this group is about.

Digger,

Congratulations!

Just a little more fire in the belly, and you will fool around and post a devilish diatribe if you aren't careful.

Our church isn't over-feminized.
