Perhaps you did not see where I went from specifics to general statements. At least you did not see where I attributed what I felt in general to the specifics of either of those two nights. My general statements were in regard to what I've seen thoughout Apostolicism in the past few years.
I was once in an Apostolic church where the sound was almost Death Metal or maybe like Marilyn Manson sound. I noticed one young lady shucking and jiving as hard and vigorously as she could to it. The words were almost indiscernable. After service, I noticed the same young lady in her car with an (what I thought to be) an Alice cooper CD cranked up realy high. She was still shucking and jiving to THAT TOO. Words of a song did not matter to her...IT WAS THE SOUND.
Now, none of the statements above related to the services either of the two nights that I was at camp.

Your statements were made in correlation toyou buying black shirts and wearing them as some kind of Old Testament prophetic example! And you don't think that your words concerning worship and the prophet could not be seen as a direct response to the camp you are mourning?

I only bought ONE black shirt...not plural. See how things get screwed up?
Further, I don't know of any O.T. prophets that wore black shirts. Black is a modern expression of mourning.

Brother...the camp was what your thread was about! And your statements aout it are what the other subsequent threads are about. So before you start saying that I have been less than perceptive, maybe you should recognize that you have been less than clear on!

I don't know how I could be any more clear.

How were those of us supposed to guess where you were and where you were not talking about the spirit you were mourning over in the camp?

But then, maybe I could have stated specifically which comments were directed toward the camp and which were in general. But, who would have guessed that it would not be perceived? As a reader, I would have had no problem with it. Unless, the text specifically stated that a comment was directly related to the camp, it was not. There is a wide range of experinece noted in the text, some of which is of a general nature.
