This post tore the scab off a 40 year old wound. The wound never heals,
it just scabs over. It took me back to the day a 17 year old boy playing
volleyball at the Church took his shirt off. (With a full T shirt on)
How a sister stopped the game, gave me my shirt and told me to put it
on. She said "you need to get closer to God and you would know that we
don't run around in our underwear in public". It really hurt, but the
hurt really started when I started to question why I didn't know. I ask
myself do I still have the Holy Ghost, or did I ever have it. She caused
me to question my salvation, and she had no right to do that.
>and Bro. Tyler, I accept the apology...no one is perfect.
>Sister Shibley
Floyd replies:
Sister IMHO you should ask Bro. Tyler to forgive you. You did not have
the right to question his salvation. You said you were "very offended".
I got over the "accidental" use of the four letter word quickly. But for
the record, I found your "if you are a child of God" statement to be
very offensive.
I love you all
Floyd E. Avery
