What, pray tell, does that mean?
I am done with this thread, but you deserve an explanation... Way to go means that you have lived up to my general expectations concerning IFB persons. You picked up an argument that was not your own and engaged two men with it, even when they gave you multiple chances to bow out after explaining rationale.
Indeed, way to go... You are right in your own eyes.
Yes, I do. I've never hid that fact. My point regarding you and others in many of these threads is your over-generalization errors that say all IFBers are the same.
In this thread we had to assume that, hence the question. I don't see that I have "over-generalized" anything, for right now nothing has happened that deserves any generalization. I am -- as I said above -- merely watching as the shepherd of my flock.
Additionally, I do not take up the politically-correct track of non-profiling. I will profile as I see fit, including a group meeting in my building that has the potential to cause dissension. If we used similar discretion concerning terrorist activity we would see less of it for we would watch the people who are actually responsible for the acts, but the PC attitude of our country insures that we watch everyone else instead.
For example, I've been a member of IFB churches that are as bad as many people expect them to be. And I've been a member of IFB churches that are nothing like those. I'm currently a member of an IFB church where ties are *not* the norm, and I haven't heard a sermon on what women should wear in over a year. Prefers the KJV, and sees new members join at least once a month.
It is your admission here (and similar admissions in other threads of this nature) that cause me to be the watchman on the wall concerning my flock. Both you and I -- and virtually everyone else in the American religious world -- KNOW that some IFB persons or congregations can be downright nasty and divisive. IF I happen to have one of them under the roof of my own building that would in fact be a problem for me and for my congregation, hence my concern and my observation. Because inroads have already been made, I am doubly concerned.
You're talking about me specifically, so, by all means, please explain.
I am noting your argumentative spirit. You took up something that is not even your battle and have fought hard -- even harder after it was explained to you the stance and reasons why -- which is even weirder after your admission above that you know about those sorts of IFB congregations.
You, without even realizing it, are a self-fulfilling prophecy concerning the divisive nature that others like myself fear.
