Smile Hello Everyone / new one here

Well I came across this website and was quite taken and interested in some of the comments. I guess I couldn't resist getting involved especially when some friends were being so blatantly attacked by (christian) people who really had no idea what they were talking about, just feeding the rumor and gossip mill. Some of you might not be so glad I joined cause I will talk real truths when I see you're blatantly wrong. I attended TBC and Gateway College and my Dad was a UPC preacher for over 60 years.. I am not UPC.. It will be interesting......Be Blessed

Re: Hello Everyone / new one here

A better way to obtain positive reception is to have more honey in your words than vinegar. We don't mind honesty and truth speaking, but your words will be better received when done in the right spirit. Not sure what motive you had in posting your credentials, but honestly, they are meaningless here. This is an internet forum. We are all on the same level here.

Looking forward to your posts!

No, you guys just need to get some people saved up in Yankee land to balance things out.

Sir, if you don't live south of the Oklahoma state line, west of the Louisiana state line, and east of the New Mexico state line...it's all Yankee land.

Oh I beg to differ with you on this Texan. Tennessee is a SOUTHERN state and if it weren't for the good people of Tennessee there wouldn't be a TEXAS!
