Ok. I better define some limits before/if we continue this discussion
by Little Mac
Ok, first off, we have to understand THIS limit. We are coming from 2 different countries and 2 different cultures. I have lived most of my life in Toronto, Canada which is a mosiac of culture, etc. The Pentecostal/"born again" churches are usually independant bodies (with the notable exception of the Pentecostal Assembly of Canada). In those churches, you do tend to get people from different ethnic groups and social classes.
America is fairly different. I am still under the impression, though, that the "born again" churches down there are multi-ethnic churches who grab people from the surrounding neighborhood. The big ones usually attract people from the entire city, instead of one borough.
Second off, We better define the term "World View". Your entire argument is based on this term, and it is a vague term that can mean many different things. So, from your point of view, what is a "WORLD VIEW" and why is it important? What is the key factors in developing a world view?
Third off, watch your tone, TMP. I ABSOLUTELY can't stand a person who comes in out of the board, and states "It would be pretty cowardly (to duck out of the conversation and admit that the Americian Churches aren't hypocrites), but I'm offering you the chance".
First off, you are on a high horse and claiming the moral ground. I'M RIGHT, I have all of the answers, and I'm giving you the chance to back off now before I destroy you. That's a way to hold a conversion? Condensating, little....
Second off, you GOT NO idea of the history of this board. The last time, I used the term "COWARD", was before Wanderer and I kicked off someone (What was that snivelizing coward name, again?) during the clone war saga five years back. It was the VERY last warning he recieved. The line "# evil twins, sibling masquerades, and multiple personalities are strictly forbidden." is at the top of the board for a reason, you know? Don't act like an admin or old-timer when you aren't one (And yes, I have been here since the beginning of this board).
Aka, treat people with respect and they will treat you back with it. I have been treating you with respect, where is the respect BACK? I don't like being threatened with continuing a conversion, because I am a COWARD if I back off. Show some respect soon, or get lost from this board.
