Common Sense?

ROBERT WROTE BEFORE:
By such a definition, many of our so called "standards" (which-btw more
heavily rest on our women's shoulders

JERRY WELCH OBSERVED:
Coincidence.

ROBERT SAID THEN:
Do you really think it's just a  coincidence that  our  women bear  the
major load when it comes to "holiness standards"? I don't.

I've been reading your posts and those of Skip and Tyler   (has a kinda
poetic ring to it,  huh.    Or maybe they could have a Saturday Morning
Kid's show.  "Hello children-what time is it?-It's Skip and Tyler time!
Just Kidding! Tee Hee.)  For those of you who don't know me (that means
everybody),   I've got a great since,  I mean cents of humor.  How do I
know?   My mom told me so,  and she never would lie to her beloved son.
She also said I was strong, handsome, and would grow up to be president
some day.

Where were we hear,  i meen here, i mean here (not to say I'm mean). Oh
yeah,  about you and Tyler and Skip. When it comes to discussing issues
of church standards I've been reading and saying amen.   But I couldn't
tell you that publicly, 'cause it's against the rules.

If you and I agree that we have  labored  under unscriptural  mandates,
then perhaps we could come to the conclusion that these  mandates  rest
upon our women more than our men (since we make the rules).  I say "we"
in the collective since of "men in leadership."

Before  I'm  dismissed  as  a  crankpot,    take  a  perfectly  coiffed
Pentecostal Lady and a perfectly dressed Pentecostal Man, put them in a
public place, and see who sticks out like a sore thumb.

A NOTE FROM ROBERT'S EDITOR:
(Robert  anticipates  a  lot  of  flack  for  the lowdown  "sore thumb"
comment. So to preempt the rage, he says "sorry, it was just a cliche")

ROBERT PONTIFICATED BEFORE:
despite the recent discussion of beards) are actually pretty senseless.

JERRY ASTUTELY ASKED:
Can women grow beards in the UPC?

ROBERT, RATHER CLUELESS, RESPONDS:
I'm sorry, you lost me on that. Anyway, no, unless they've been working
out and taking steriods!

POSTSCRIPT:
Robert really doesn't have an editor.  Sometimes though, he has a split
personality.     "Get back here Robert,     finish your email!"    "But
Mr. Editor,  I'm embarrased that you've SHOUTED at higher fire so much.
I'll finish the message when you stop shouting." "OKAY, JUST WRAP IT UP
AND HIT THE SEND BUTTON!   YOUR WIFE IS WONDERING WHAT YO ARE DOING OUT
HERE IN THE FRONT ROOM AT 12:40 A.M. ON LABOR DAY."
