My post was not directed at any one individual (the main reason I
started a new topic). It was addressed at the list. You see any time a
topic of this genre is brought up the person asking the question gets
lamblasted for it. I in an earlier post mentioned the "Holier than thou"
attitudes that some have about the standards and I got told off by a few
people, I had a reply that suggested I need to yield to God (I uphold
the standards - for the Lord, not to glorify this flesh, in fact the
standards remind me that I should be humble).

There has become a very unedifing tone in many posts here and I was
hoping to point that out. Unfortuneatly I have not the gift of relating
my thoughts into words, so I guess I muddled another thought.

Lord Bless,
Bro Bill (maybe its time for the muzzle) Clifton
