Someone questioned the use of the word "massacre" if only 3 people were involved. We've historically used the term "massacre" in connection with the event called the "Boston Massacre" when only 5 people were killed.

Tiny difference here.

People really died in the Boston massacre.

Then do you agree with Daniel's use of massacre in this thread title since only three preacher's reputations are called into question.

Massacre is a strong word.

mizpeh,
thing is it's more than just those 3....
it's anyone who preaches for them, or that these 3 men preach for.

if you're a friend or associated with someone 'under question' you will probably pay a price for being associated with that person.

So much for that concept.

That's been a fairy tale from the beginning. Especially with affiliated churches.

here's another question:
is there some kind of list that names who's 'under question??

How is a guy supposed to know?

I'd be pleasantly surprised if Hutchins found out from the board. The two I knew liked to spread it around to every one but the individual.

On a side note, here's my, Thank God my church is non-denominational and unaffiliated with an organization, dance...

So could I come under question and be barred from UPCI pulpits for appearing in ABC's Wife Swap?

If your district board decided to put you under question then yes.
