That’s ridiculous and you are the last person I would have expected to come up with something like that. You’re wrong.

I apologize for being testy with you.
You don't deserve it.

Sometimes I just want to feel accepted and not labeled, categorized, and judged, but, this forum is obviously not the place.

I truly am just curious as to what the background the majority of the posters here are. I know that you attend a UPCi church and that you personally hold to some pretty conservative convictions. I had seven options and wanted to try to fit as broad of a spectrum as I could into those 7. In my experience, the UPCi is a very diverse organization when it comes to doctrinal stances and holiness principles and convictions but I did not have room to give different options.

My apologies for the offense. I certainly do not have an agenda against the UPCi.

As for house churches...I have met house churchers that I would consider very liberal and loose doctrinally, and have many such as Esaias and Bro. Benincasa that seem to have a very firm stance on certain key doctrines and holiness convictions. I don’t think, therefore that I could do away with a liberal house church option. I simply did not have room to separate them. You could vote house church and then post conservative.

Well, you're acceptable to me and some others, I am certain. The rest? Meh, what do they know.

I feel the same way.

Not that I feel there are some days YOU shouldn't post, but that some days *I* shouldn't post. lol

I have to take a break from here every once in a while.

I think the options are just fine.

But if you would like to change the options, I can edit them.

Or, we can delete this thread and you can try again. Just let me know.

Sis, you are fine with me too. Even EB who pokes at me over the song book thing is Ok. We all at least seem to be fully convinced in our own beleif. This is better than being "blades of grass, blown in the dirction of the biggest wind"
