He who is without sin among you, let him cast the first stone at George Geftakys

[Luke Robinson]

Well, I could say that flowers are nice and everyone would agree with me.  

But controversial issues come up and they should be discussed no matter how the hecklers start holding down the bad attitude button.  Write, folks.  Don't just press the bad button.  Tell me WHY you've pressed it.

You're right, Paul.  I don't need you to fight my battles.  You're better for hitting below the belt in the mud pit.  When I need you, I'll call for you.

Dear Tim Souther,
...
Yes, I think the St. Louis assembly somewhat broke away from the strictness of George a while ago, but there were still a lot of pressure points that would wear on people, causing them to want to leave.  But God is good.  And He is doing a great work.  Thanks again, Mr. Souther.
A Brother in Christ,

Yes and I think your dad (one of my favorite brothers of all time) was a good example of that.  Even so, it is my opinion that there undoubtedly remain vestiges of Geftakysism even there that need to be rooted out.  Hopefully there will be an increasing association with other evangelical groups.  All of us need our horizons broadened.

PS - I was kind of hoping you'd make it up here last night or the night before at the Remedy gigs.

Sorry that I didn't make it.  But I do plan on driving up to Springfield sometime in the near future.  It would be a neat experience to be reunited with my brothers and sisters.  God Bless.

Didn’t read all the posts here. Just to long. But if I see GG any time soon I’ll throw the first stone sin or not.


It’s a joke guys

This was said by Jesus when he brought a Pharasee in his midst who was being unjustly condemned by the blind beggers in the area.  Whenever I read this passage, I find within myself a renewed, gentle, compassion for strong, authoritarian, religious leaders just like Jesus had.

Ya Dave I know the story. Grew up on it. But I’m glad it touches you. Didn’t mean to offend.

Sammy:  You didn't offend at all.  Sorry if I gave that impression.  This is the first time I saw this thread and that was my toungue in cheek response to the title.  I wasn't responding to anything said afterwards.

Good to know Dave. And my post about casting the first stone was the first thing that popped  into my head. Glad I didn’t offend. It just the mental image I get of a big rock hitting GG in the stomach and him finally having all that hot air knocked out of him that makes me chuckle.
